The native alarms feature merged with 7 component docs updated, but the
spec layer drifted: HighLevelReqs, Commons, and ManagementService had no
native-alarm coverage and the README table flagged it on only one row.
Add HighLevelReqs §3.4.2 (+ validation), document the Commons
types/entities/messages and the 7 ManagementService commands, sync the
README rows + link the TreeView sub-component, fix 2 broken plan links,
and drop the one-off native-alarms RESUME scratchpad.
The NativeAlarmActor sends SubscribeAlarmsRequest to the DCL manager, but the
manager only routed tag/write/browse messages to the per-connection
DataConnectionActor — alarm subscribe/unsubscribe were unhandled and dead-lettered,
so native alarms never subscribed at runtime. Caught by live T28 deployment.
Mirrors the existing HandleRoute forwarding.
Adds IAlarmSubscribableConnection to MxGatewayDataConnection (shared session-less
feed, ref-counted), IMxGatewayClient.RunAlarmStreamAsync over the package
StreamAlarmsAsync with internal reconnect, and MxGatewayAlarmMapper
(AlarmFeedMessage/OnAlarmTransitionEvent -> NativeAlarmTransition). Behavior
verified against a live gateway in Task 28; mapper unit-tested.
Adds IAlarmSubscribableConnection to OpcUaDataConnection, IOpcUaClient alarm
subscription methods, and RealOpcUaClient A&C event monitored-item +
EventFilter + ConditionRefresh snapshot, mapping fields via OpcUaAlarmMapper.
Behavior verified against a live A&C server in Task 28; mapper unit-tested.
Read-only mirror of native alarm sources into a unified A&C-style state
model (severity + active/acked/shelved/suppressed). Instance-bound source
discovery, site-only SQLite state with live central query (no central
tables), DebugView enrichment. OPC UA A&C events + ConditionRefresh and
MxGateway session-less StreamAlarms via a new IAlarmSubscribableConnection
seam routed connection-level by source reference; new NativeAlarmActor peer
to computed AlarmActor.
The Test Bindings button was disabled (greyed out) for any attribute bound
to a non-OPC-UA connection. BuildTestableRows() filtered to protocol ==
"OpcUa", a stale gate left over from when OPC UA was the only protocol.
ReadTagValuesCommand is protocol-agnostic (routes through
IDataConnection.ReadBatchAsync, which MxGatewayDataConnection implements),
so the filter only blocked the UI — mirroring the already-fixed IsBrowsable.
Remove the OPC-UA-only filter and update the stale comments. Add a bUnit
regression test (theory over MxGateway + OpcUa) asserting the button is
enabled for a readable-protocol binding.
Verified live: dialog opens for an MxGateway binding and returns a
Good-quality read.
Expanding a Galaxy object in the tag picker hung on "loading…": the browse
reply inlined every child's full attribute set (~152 KB), exceeding Akka's
128 KB remote frame, and remoting silently discarded the oversized reply.
Browse path (DataConnectionLayer):
- RealMxGatewayClient: navigation now uses BrowseChildren(include_attributes=
false) — child objects only — and an object's own attributes load lazily via
DiscoverHierarchy(root, max_depth=0) when it's expanded. Payload drops from
~152 KB/level to a few KB. Seam contract unchanged.
- DataConnectionActor.CapBrowseChildren: protocol-agnostic byte-budget cap
(~100 KB) on every BrowseNodeResult before it crosses the site→central
frame, OR-ing the adapter's own Truncated flag. Byte budget, not a count —
the only bound that holds regardless of NodeId/attribute-name length.
- RealOpcUaClient: requestedMaxReferencesPerNode 1000 → 500 to narrow the
window before the byte budget applies.
- Graceful gRPC Unimplemented handling → NotSupportedException →
BrowseFailureKind.NotBrowsable with an actionable message (older gateway
builds lacking BrowseChildren).
Picker UI (CentralUI):
- NodeBrowserDialog: modal-lg → modal-xl; new scoped .razor.css caps the tree
at 55vh with its own scrollbar so manual entry + Select/Cancel stay visible.
- Protocol-agnostic failure messages (was hardcoded "OPC UA …"); renamed the
leftover opcua-browser-tree class to node-browser-tree.
Tests: new frame-budget cap test + NotSupported=>NotBrowsable mapping test;
DCL suite 88/88. Doc: Component-DataConnectionLayer.md records the lazy
attribute-light browse and the frame-size guard.
Replace the generic 'MxGateway Shared' connection name with a per-site name
(site-a -> 'ScadaBridge Site A', env2 site-x -> 'ScadaBridge Site X') in both
docker/ and docker-env2/ seed scripts.
- DeploymentManagerActor.HandleDeployArtifacts read the Self property inside its
Task.Run lambda (line dispatching ApplyArtifactDataConnectionsToDcl). Self is
backed by the ambient ActorCell, null on a thread-pool thread, so it threw
'no active ActorContext' — surfaced the first time a data connection is
deployed via deploy-artifacts. Capture Self into a local first (as Sender
already was).
- seed-sites.sh: create a shared MxGateway data connection (10.100.0.48:5120)
on each site and deploy artifacts so the DCL establishes them.
- build.sh: nounset-safe empty-array expansion (bash 3.2).
Adds MxGateway as a second DCL protocol alongside OPC UA: IDataConnection +
IBrowsableDataConnection adapter over the ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client package,
typed config + serializer/validator, factory registration, protocol-agnostic
browse plumbing, Central UI protocol selector + editor + tag picker, and docker
NuGet feed wiring. Full design + 19-task implementation plan in docs/plans.
Dockerfile copies nuget.config (so the Gitea feed + source mapping are known in
the restore stage) and accepts optional NUGET_GITEA_USER/PASS build-args for a
private feed; build.sh forwards them from host env vars (MXGW_NUGET_USER/PASS)
so secrets are never committed. Verified the in-container restore resolves the
ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.* packages (anonymous feed).
