'Pattern 4: Integration Routing' — RouteIntegrationCallAsync →
SiteEnvelope(IntegrationCallRequest) → SiteCommunicationActor integration
handler — was plumbed end to end but connected at neither end: no
producer (zero callers) and no handler (AkkaHostedService never
registered LocalHandlerType.Integration). It was an early scaffold the
architecture routed around — the brokered External→Central→Site→Central
round-trip is served by the Inbound API's routed-site-script path (the
RouteTo* verbs, driven from CommunicationServiceInstanceRouter), which is
live, tested, and shares IntegrationTimeout.
Decision (#32): delete. Removed the IntegrationCall{Request,Response}
messages, RouteIntegrationCallAsync, the SiteCommunicationActor receive
block + _integrationHandler field + LocalHandlerType.Integration, and the
four tests that covered them (2 actor, 2 message-contract, 1 dispatcher-
reject, 1 mapper-reject). KEPT IntegrationTimeout — it is the live
timeout for the RouteTo* verbs. Updated the exclusion-narrative comments
(proto/mapper/dispatcher), design §4, the components doc timeout table,
and marked the known-issue RESOLVED.
Full solution build clean (0/0); Communication 634 + Host 421 green.
Net -172/+20 across 14 files. Not in the gRPC proto (was deliberately
excluded there), so no wire-format change.
Central and each site are SEPARATE Akka clusters, so central cannot act on a
site's membership -- it asks. New TriggerSiteFailover/SiteFailoverAck contract
travels the existing ClusterClient command/control channel (mirroring the
RetryParkedOperation relay); the site's own SiteCommunicationActor performs the
graceful Leave and acks the outcome.
- ClusterFailoverCoordinator moved out of Host into Communication/ClusterState,
beside ActiveNodeEvaluator. Both paths now share ONE oldest-Up implementation;
SiteCommunicationActor cannot reference Host, and the two definitions must not
drift or the node asked to leave stops being the singleton host.
- Site scope is the SITE-SPECIFIC role (site-{SiteId}), not the base Site role --
site singletons are placed on the former, so the base role would move the wrong
node. Pinned by a unit test asserting the role string and by a real-cluster test.
- Site-side guards: refuses a command addressed to another site (a misroute must
never fail over a site the operator did not select), refuses when there is no
peer, and reports a fault as an ack rather than throwing into supervision --
a restart there would drop central's Ask into a bare timeout and lose the reason.
- Ack is sent before the Leave takes effect so it still reaches central.
- UI: the same control now serves both scopes via a SiteId parameter. The site
confirmation deliberately does NOT claim the admin's page will disconnect --
it won't, and crying wolf there devalues the central warning that is real. A
site refusal and an unreachable site surface distinctly.
- Rolling upgrade: a site on an older binary has no handler, so the message
dead-letters and the Ask times out, reported as "site did not respond". That
is the honest outcome; documented on the contract.
Fallout fixed: HealthPageTests now renders the page inside
CascadingAuthenticationState with the real policy set and IAuthorizationService,
because the cards embed an AuthorizeView. That mirrors production, where the
layout supplies the cascading value.
Made CommunicationService.TrustServerCertAsync/RemoveServerCertAsync/ListServerCertsAsync virtual to support the test seam (mirrors existing virtual WriteTagAsync).

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.
Add CommunicationService.RefreshDeploymentAsync — the typed send method
for the small notify-and-fetch wire message (RefreshDeploymentCommand).
Mirrors DeployInstanceAsync exactly: SiteEnvelope + Ask<DeploymentStatusResponse>
bounded by DeploymentTimeout. CentralCommunicationActor needs no change
(HandleSiteEnvelope is fully generic — all SiteEnvelope messages forward
to /user/site-communication without a per-type switch). Adds a parallel
routing test asserting the envelope reaches the site ClusterClient.
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.
Adds a Test Bindings button to the Connection Bindings table on the Configure
Instance page that opens a modal showing the live current value of every bound
attribute. Reuses the routing path that the OPC UA tag browser landed on:
Central: TestBindingsDialog → IBindingTester → CommunicationService
→ ReadTagValuesCommand → SiteEnvelope (Ask)
Site: SiteCommunicationActor → DeploymentManagerActor singleton
→ DataConnectionManagerActor → child DataConnectionActor
→ _adapter.ReadBatchAsync
Split mirrors the browse handler:
• Manager owns ConnectionNotFound (only it sees the per-site connection set).
• Child owns ConnectionNotConnected (pre-call status check, never stash —
read is interactive design-time), Timeout (OperationCanceledException),
ServerError (any other exception). Per-tag failures from ReadBatchAsync
become failure TagReadOutcomes without aborting the batch.
CentralUI:
• IBindingTester / BindingTester — Design-role guard via HasClaim against
JwtTokenService.RoleClaimType (not IsInRole — see c1e16cf), typed
transport-failure translation.
• TestBindingsDialog — ShowAsync(siteId, rows, instanceLabel) method-arg
pattern (no Razor parameter race; see 2c138b6), groups rows by connection
and issues one ReadAsync per connection in parallel, per-row error subline
+ per-connection banner, Refresh button re-issues the reads.
• InstanceConfigure.razor — Test Bindings button next to Save Bindings,
disabled when no testable rows. OPC UA only today (other protocols have
no ReadTagValuesCommand wiring yet).
Tests:
• Commons: ReadTagValuesCommand discovered by ManagementCommandRegistry.
• DataConnectionLayer: unknown connection → ConnectionNotFound,
not-connected adapter → ConnectionNotConnected (ReadBatchAsync NOT called),
success-path mapping (Good/Bad + per-tag error), cancellation → Timeout.
• CentralUI: register IBindingTester (and the previously-missing
IOpcUaBrowseService) on the existing InstanceConfigureAuditDrillinTests
Bunit container so the page renders cleanly with the new dialog.
