Remove project bookkeeping citations from shipped code comments across the
solution: hyphenated task IDs (WP-14, StoreAndForward-025), milestone/task/
issue refs (M3, Task 4, Audit Log #23, #21), Bundle X task-bundle labels,
and C/D/K/S/T phase labels.
Comment text only — no code logic, string/log literals, or XML-doc structure
changed. Genuine descriptions are preserved (only the citation is stripped),
and technical lookalikes are retained (UTF-8, SHA-256, T00:00:00, M365,
UTC-5, pre-C4/pre-C5 schema versions). Flagged by the new CommentChecker
TaskReferenceInComment / TrackingReferenceInComment checks plus targeted
grep passes; full solution builds clean, append-only guard tests pass.
Closes the four remaining items in the 2026-06-24 template-inheritance/CLI
follow-up tracker.
#4 — CLI `instance set-bindings` can now set DataSourceReferenceOverride.
`--bindings` accepts an optional 3rd element per entry:
[attributeName, dataConnectionId, dataSourceReferenceOverride]. A string
sets the override; a JSON null or an omitted 3rd element leaves it unset
(template default). TryParseBindings accepts 2- or 3-element entries and
rejects a non-string/non-null 3rd element or 4+ elements with a clean
error. Previously the CLI sent the override as null and silently wiped any
existing one (only a raw POST /management could set it).
#5 — `template update` is partial, not full-replace (fixed server-side so all
clients benefit). UpdateTemplateAsync now uses leave-unchanged semantics:
a null description keeps the stored value (pass "" to clear); a null
parentTemplateId keeps the existing parent. Parent stays immutable — a
non-null differing value is still rejected — but omitting --parent-id is
now a no-op instead of failing every derived-template update.
#6 — compact `template list`/`get` table output + `--detail`. Table output is
now id/name/description/parent/derived + member counts (#attrs/#alarms/
#scripts/#comps/#nativeAlarms) via TemplateTableProjection, fed through a
new optional tableProjector seam on CommandHelpers. `--detail` restores the
full dump. JSON output is left untouched (always full) so machine consumers
are unaffected — the projector only runs on the table path.
#8 — structured deploy-time validation error. New ValidationResult.SummarizeErrors()
(Commons) returns a grouped, capped summary: leading total count, one line
per ValidationCategory, and a per-module rollup (canonical name up to its
last dot) with counts + "... and N more module(s)" caps. DeploymentService
uses it for the "Pre-deployment validation failed" message and logs the full
per-entry list via LogWarning. Replaces the flat semicolon-joined dump that
became a wall of text for instances with 50-194 unbound attributes.
Tests: +8 Commons (SummarizeErrors), +8 CLI (4 binding 3-element / 4 table
projection), +2 net TemplateEngine (partial-update). Affected suites green:
Commons 587, CLI 341, TemplateEngine 447, DeploymentManager 101,
ManagementService 230, CentralUI 866; full solution builds 0/0.
Docs: Component-DeploymentManager.md "Validation Error Reporting"; CLI README
(set-bindings 3-element form, template update leave-unchanged, list/get
--detail); UpdateTemplateCommand doc; known-issues tracker #4/#5/#6/#8 resolved
(all 8 items now closed).
Remediation from the full per-module code review at 4307c381 (findings recorded
separately in code-reviews/).
Highs fixed:
- DeploymentManager-025/SiteRuntime-031: stop broadcasting notification lists + SMTP
configs (incl. credentials) to sites; site purges already-persisted rows on apply
(enforces the central-only delivery design; clears plaintext SMTP creds at rest).
- DataConnectionLayer-023: guard the native-alarm subscribe path against the
mid-flight-unsubscribe adapter-feed leak (mirrors the DCL-021 tag-path fix).
- SiteEventLogging-024: normalize From/To query bounds to UTC (the -016 fix the
audit trail claimed but never committed).
- KpiHistory-001: add an in-flight guard to the recorder sample tick.
- ScriptAnalysis-001: harden the trust analyzer's TPA-absent fallback (resolve
forbidden anchors in the minimal reference set; warn on degraded mode) — anchors
added to validation references only, never the compile gate.
(InboundAPI-026 left to the feat/ipsen-movein effort per owner decision.)

Full-solution build 0 warnings; ~3560 tests across 18 touched suites green.
- MV-2: guard unsupported element type before parse (no misleading re-wrap); add Float round-trip test
- MV-4: carry ElementDataType through the two validation-flatten ResolvedAttribute sites (ManagementActor.HandleValidateTemplate, BundleImporter.BuildFlattenedConfigForValidation) so MV-5 validation sees element type via every entry point
- MV-12: include ElementDataType in TemplateAttribute add/update audit payloads + fix stale docstring
Object/List parameters and return values were shape-validated only (object vs
array), with no field-level/nested type checks — type-wrong nested data passed
inbound validation and failed only at script runtime. Add recursive type
validation (declared Object field types, List element type, scalars at any depth)
with path-qualified errors, symmetric across ParameterValidator and ReturnValueValidator.
Both validators now parse the canonical JSON Schema definition format (the
Central UI / MigrateParametersToJsonSchema output) via a shared recursive engine,
Commons.Types.InboundApi.InboundApiSchema, instead of the legacy flat
[{name,type}] array which they could not even deserialize from migrated rows.
The legacy flat-array form is still accepted on read for transition safety.
Undeclared fields are rejected at every level (consistent with the existing
top-level unexpected-parameter rejection); a present-but-null value satisfies
any type, only absence of a required field is an error.
Spec promised a per-script timeout but only the global ScriptExecutionTimeoutSeconds
existed. Add nullable TemplateScript.ExecutionTimeoutSeconds threaded through EF +
flattening (ResolvedScript) to ScriptExecutionActor/AlarmExecutionActor, which use
perScript ?? global for the execution CTS. Includes the EF migration for the new column.
ComputeConnectionsDiff existed with tests but was never called and ConfigurationDiff
had no slot for it, so standalone connection endpoint/protocol/failover drift never
appeared in the deployment diff (only per-attribute binding drift did). Add a
ConnectionChanges slot, wire ComputeConnectionsDiff into ComputeDiff, and render the
connection section in the deployment diff UI.
Resolve all 622 issues flagged by the enhanced CommentChecker: add missing
<returns> tags (incl. the standard phrasing on non-generic Task methods),
add missing <summary> tags, and replace misused/redundant <inheritdoc/> on
members that override or implement nothing with real documentation.
Documentation-only — no behavior change; solution builds clean.
Additive foundation only — no existing type/interface/emitter changed.
Commons now references ZB.MOM.WW.Audit 0.1.0 (Gitea feed, central PM pin).
Adds four pure new types in Commons/Types/Audit/:
AuditDetails (sealed record, 17 domain fields, declaration-order = JSON key order)
AuditDetailsCodec (static; single cached JsonSerializerOptions: camelCase, no-indent,
WhenWritingNull, UnsafeRelaxedJsonEscaping — byte-deterministic across calls)
AuditOutcomeProjector (static; InboundAuthFailure→Denied first, then Delivered→Success,
Failed/Parked/Discarded→Failure, all others→Success)
AuditFieldBuilders (static; BuildAction="{channel}.{kind}", BuildCategory=channel.ToString())
56 new tests in Commons.Tests/Types/Audit/ covering codec round-trip, byte-determinism
(hand-pinned expected JSON string), null/empty sentinel, full projection table,
InboundAuthFailure-Denied precedence, and Action/Category builders. All pass.
