Add SiteReplicationActor (runs on every site node) to replicate deployed
configs and store-and-forward buffer operations to the standby peer via
cluster member discovery and fire-and-forget Tell. Wire ReplicationService
handler and pass replication actor to DeploymentManagerActor singleton.
Fix 5 pre-existing ConfigurationDatabase test failures: RowVersion NOT NULL
on SQLite, stale migration name assertion, and seed data count mismatch.
Adds `debug snapshot --id <int>` to query a running instance's current
attribute values and alarm states without the subscribe/stream overhead
of the debug view. Routes through ManagementActor → CommunicationService
→ site DeploymentManager → InstanceActor using the existing remote query
pattern.
Add 33 new management message records, ManagementActor handlers, and CLI
commands to close all functionality gaps between the Central UI and the
Management CLI. New capabilities include:
- Template member CRUD (attributes, alarms, scripts, compositions)
- Shared script CRUD
- Database connection definition CRUD
- Inbound API method CRUD
- LDAP scope rule management
- API key enable/disable
- Area update
- Remote event log and parked message queries
- Missing get/update commands for templates, sites, instances, data
connections, external systems, notifications, and SMTP config
Includes 12 new ManagementActor unit tests covering authorization,
happy-path queries, and error handling. Updates CLI README and component
design documents (Component-CLI.md, Component-ManagementService.md).
Areas management is a design concern, not admin. Moved Areas page
authorization from RequireAdmin to RequireDesign, moved nav link from
Admin to Design section, updated ManagementActor role check. Added
GET /logout endpoint (was 404, now redirects to login). Improved Sign
Out button visibility in sidebar next to username.
Central now resolves site Akka remoting addresses from the Sites DB table
(NodeAAddress/NodeBAddress) instead of relying on runtime RegisterSite
messages. Eliminates the race condition where sites starting before central
had their registration dead-lettered. Addresses are cached in
CentralCommunicationActor with 60s periodic refresh and on-demand refresh
when sites are added/edited/deleted via UI or CLI.
Two Akka.NET deserialization bugs prevented CLI commands from reaching ManagementActor: IReadOnlyList<string> in AuthenticatedUser serialized as a compiler-generated internal type unknown to the server, and ManagementSuccess.Data carried server-side assembly types the CLI couldn't resolve on receipt. Fixed by using string[] for roles and pre-serializing response data to JSON in ManagementActor before sending. Adds full CLI reference documentation covering all 10 command groups.
