# Deferred-Work Register (established 2026-07-08, from architecture review 08)

Single tracked list of consciously-deferred work. Rules: every deferral gets a row
(rationale + revisit trigger); fix-now items reference the archreview plan that owns
them and are removed from this table when that plan's task lands.

## Fix-now (owned by archreview plans)

All 7 fix-now items landed via PLAN-04/05/06/07/08 (verified in review 08 round 2, 2026-07-12) — rows removed per the rule above; see the round-2 report §1 for the per-item evidence.

## Deferred (with rationale + revisit trigger)
| # | Item | Where noted | Rationale for deferral | Revisit trigger |
|---|------|-------------|------------------------|-----------------|
| 8 | Hash-chain tamper evidence (T1); CLI verify-chain is a no-op stub | audit-log roadmap :12 | v1.x by locked decision; append-only DB roles are the control | Compliance requirement for cryptographic tamper evidence |
| 9 | Parquet audit archival (T2); endpoint returns 501 | AuditEndpoints.cs:204 | v1.x; 501 + CLI messaging are honest | AuditLog partition volume nears retention ceiling |
| 11 | Central-persisted OPC UA cert-trust audit | m7 follow-ups | Broadcast-to-both-nodes covers HA | Governance/audit requirement for trust decisions |
| 12 | Native-alarm-source-override CSV import — **Central UI `InstanceConfigure` upload affordance only** (CLI + Management API + parser shipped 2026-07-10, see Resolved) | m7 follow-ups | CLI/API path closes the operator parity gap; the Blazor upload button is polish | First request to bulk-import native sources from the UI rather than the CLI |
| 17 | Unified notifications+site-calls outbox page | stillpending :118 | Explicit M9 decision to keep two pages | Operator confusion reports |
| 19 | Bundle signing / cluster-to-cluster pull / differential bundles | transport-design :402 | v1 manifest hash + AES-GCM held sufficient | Non-repudiation requirement across orgs |
| 23 | Live LDAP group-membership re-query for an active session | `docs/requirements/Component-Security.md` :61-69 (+ :78-79) | Blocked on an external package. The mid-session refresh re-maps the **stored** groups against the central DB with **no LDAP call**, so a directory group-membership change lands only at next login. A live re-query needs a passwordless service-account group-search method on the shared `ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.Ldap` library — an external NuGet `PackageReference` (`src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Security/…csproj:23`) exposing only `AuthenticateAsync(username, password, ct)`. Central role-mapping/scope changes still apply within ~15 min (`RoleRefreshThresholdMinutes`). | `ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.Ldap` gains a standalone group-search API, or a requirement that a directory-side group revocation take effect mid-session rather than at next login |
| 24 | M8 large-bundle performance hardening | `docs/plans/2026-06-15-stillpending-completion-design.md:106` — "Small follow-ups logged (not blocking): … large-bundle/perf hardening" | Logged as a non-blocking follow-up when M8 shipped and never given an artifact: **no plan, no task entry, no perf/load test exists** (`tests/…Transport.Tests/Import/BundleImporterLoadTests.cs` is a `LoadAsync` unit suite despite the name). No measured problem; the only sizing controls in place are the 5-minute CLI transport timeout, `LineDiffer`'s `MaxInputLines`=4000 summary-only cap, and `MaxConcurrentImportSessions`=8. | First real bundle that times out, exhausts memory, or makes the import wizard's diff step unusable |
| 25 | Phase-8 WP-4 target-scale load test (10 sites × 500 instances × 75 tags = 37,500 subscriptions/site, 375,000 total) | `docs/plans/phase-8-production-readiness.md:152-170` (WP-4) + `:314-320` (test protocol); status claimed in `docs/plans/phase-8-checklist.md` | **Claimed complete but unevidenced.** The whole WP-4 deliverable is a **107-byte** checklist stub asserting "Status: Complete / Tests: All passing / Build: 0 errors, 0 warnings" with no per-work-package results and no linked run. Nearest real coverage is arithmetic/aggregation only — `PerformanceTests/StaggeredStartupTests.cs` (`TagCapacity_75TagsPer500Machines_37500Total`, 500-instances-over-10-sites distribution) and `HealthAggregationTests` (10-site report aggregation) — plus a **single-subscriber** 100k-event `Streaming/SiteStreamThroughputTests.cs`. No sustained multi-site run exists anywhere in `tests/` or `docker/`. | Before any production go-live at target scale; or the first site approaching ~500 instances / ~37.5k subscriptions |
| 26 | Ipsen MES MoveIn tail: leak-test (`-LT`) receivers + routing, PLC-output-flag writes, `Z28062` BTDB data completeness | `docs/plans/2026-06-16-ipsen-mes-movein.md:409` ("Out of scope (future)"); design `2026-06-16-ipsen-mes-movein-design.md:58-60, :196-198` | Customer-site scope, not a platform gap. `-LT` routing needs an MES-receiver child + Galaxy reference that do not exist on the reactor template (any `-LT`/unknown suffix returns `WasSuccessful=false` with an "unsupported side/target" message by decision); `MoveInComplete`/`Successful`/`ErrorText` are **PLC-owned** by locked decision, so ScadaBridge deliberately does not write them; `Z28062` completeness is an operational data fix, not code. Note the separate alarm-status path already handles the suffix — `_LT` is stripped before side-scoping (`2026-06-30-mes-alarm-status-api.md:158`). | Ipsen creates the leak-test receiver + Galaxy reference, or asks ScadaBridge to own the PLC-output flags — otherwise a **candidate won't-do** (`[PERM]`) at the next Ipsen scope review |

## Resolved (verified against the code 2026-07-10)
Rows removed from the Deferred table above once confirmed shipped. Kept here for traceability.

| # | Item | Resolution |
|---|------|-----------|
| 10 | Aggregated live alarm stream for Alarm Summary | Shipped 2026-07-10 (`docs/plans/2026-07-10-aggregated-live-alarm-stream-plan.md`): a **transient, in-memory** per-site central live alarm cache (`ISiteAlarmLiveCache`/`SiteAlarmLiveCacheService` + per-site `SiteAlarmAggregatorActor`) fed by a new site-wide, alarm-only `SubscribeSite` gRPC stream (`SiteStreamManager.SubscribeSiteAlarms`), seed-then-stream with dedup + NodeA↔NodeB re-seed + periodic reconcile. Alarm Summary is now live-cache-driven (`AlarmSummaryService.BuildFromLiveAlarms`) with the 15s poll retained as fallback + `NotReporting` authority. Honors the `[PERM]` no-central-store rule — nothing persisted (no EF table/migration). Options on `CommunicationOptions` (eagerly validated) + two `ScadaBridgeTelemetry` signals. |
| 7 | SecuredWrite audit rows leave SourceNode NULL | Resolved (PLAN-07): `ManagementActor.EmitSecuredWriteAuditAsync` routes through `ICentralAuditWriter`, which stamps `SourceNode` (`central-a`/`central-b`) from `INodeIdentityProvider`. |
| 12 (CLI/API) | Native-alarm-source-override CSV import | Shipped 2026-07-10: shared `CsvLineSplitter`, `NativeAlarmSourceOverrideCsvParser`, bulk all-or-nothing `SetInstanceNativeAlarmSourceOverridesCommand` + ManagementActor handler (Deployer-gated), CLI `instance native-alarm-source import --file`, parser/CLI/handler tests. **UI upload affordance still pending — see row 12 above.** |
| 13 | WaitForAttribute quality-gated ("Good"-only) mode | Already implemented (Commons `WaitForAttribute.RequireGoodQuality`, enforced in `InstanceActor`, threaded through `ScriptRuntimeContext`, tested in `InstanceActorWaitForAttributeTests`). Stale "planned enhancement" doc line corrected 2026-07-10. |
| 14 | WaitForAttribute in Test-Run sandbox | Shipped 2026-07-10 (full fidelity): sandbox `Attributes.WaitAsync`/`WaitForAsync` (value-equality) route to the bound instance via `ISandboxInstanceGateway.WaitForAttributeAsync` → the existing `CommunicationService.RouteToWaitForAttributeAsync` cross-site route. Additive `RouteToWaitForAttributeRequest.RequireGoodQuality` (honored by the site handler) makes quality-gated waits route too. **Predicate-form waits stay unsupported** (an in-process lambda can't be routed) and throw a labelled `ScriptSandboxException`. Tests: sandbox accessor routing (CentralUI), site-handler quality-flag threading (SiteRuntime). |
| 15 | BrowseNext final-page signal not surfaced | Already surfaced (M7 browse work): `RealOpcUaClient` sets `Truncated=false`/`ContinuationToken=null` on the last page; `BrowseNodeResult` carries both; `TreeRow.razor` renders "Load more" only when a continuation token remains — no wasted BrowseNext. |
| 16 | StubOpcUaClient throws on browse | Already resolved: `StubOpcUaClient` supports browse + address-space search, covered by `StubOpcUaClientBrowseTests`/`StubOpcUaClientSearchTests`. |
| 18 | Folder drag-drop | Closed — **permanently deferred (`[PERM]`)** by the M9 decision (`docs/plans/2026-06-15-stillpending-completion-design.md:122`): menu-based reorder (T23) shipped instead, and the folder-hierarchy design fixed the reorganization UX as "right-click context menus only (no drag-drop)" (`2026-05-11-templates-folder-hierarchy-design.md:27`). Row removed from the Deferred table 2026-08-01 — nothing left to revisit. |
| 20 | Deployment EXPIRED-row purge | Already resolved (PLAN-04): `PendingDeploymentPurgeActor` central singleton (spawned in `AkkaHostedService`) ticks `IDeploymentManagerRepository.PurgeExpiredPendingDeploymentsAsync` every `CommunicationOptions.PendingDeploymentPurgeInterval` (default 1h), options-validated, tested. |
| 21 | SiteAuditBacklogReporter threshold consolidation | Shipped 2026-07-10: `SqliteAuditWriterOptions.BacklogPollIntervalSeconds` (default 30) now drives the reporter's poll cadence; explicit ctor override still wins (tests), non-positive falls back to the 30 s default. Cadence tests added; stale "hard-code / follow-up" class-doc corrected. |
| 22 | KPI history hourly rollups | Shipped 2026-07-10 (`docs/plans/2026-07-10-kpi-history-hourly-rollups-plan.md`, T1–T8): new `KpiRollupHourly` table (migration `20260710153953`) folded by a third recorder tick (`kpi-rollup`, `RollupInterval` default 1h) over a re-folded `RollupLookbackHours` window via an idempotent, failover-self-healing upsert; per-metric gauge-vs-rate aggregation (`KpiMetricAggregationCatalog`); a one-shot backfill of the retention window on start; raw-vs-rollup query routing by `RollupThresholdHours` (default 168h); longer rollup retention (`RollupRetentionDays` default 365 ≥ `RetentionDays`, dual daily purge); and 30 d / 90 d trend windows added to the four surfaces. Options + validator, docs (`Component-KpiHistory.md`), and tests shipped. |

## New deferrals from review 08 (this plan)
| Item | Rationale | Revisit trigger |
|------|-----------|-----------------|
| Communication → HealthMonitoring layering (ICentralHealthAggregator consumed by CentralCommunicationActor.cs:351) | Moving the interface + SiteHealthState to Commons ripples across 5 projects for a cosmetic inversion | Next breaking change to ICentralHealthAggregator |
| docs/components reference docs for ScriptAnalysis, KpiHistory, DelmiaNotifier | Reference docs are substantial (StyleGuide-conformant); README claim scoped instead (PLAN-08 Task 10) | Next doc-writing session touching those components |
| Test-coverage backfill: SiteCallAudit.Tests (31 tests/1.6k LOC), DeploymentManager.Tests | No defect identified; coverage partly lives in ManagementService/Host/Integration suites | First regression escaping either component |
| ~~Failover-timing measurement (the "~25s total failover" envelope)~~ **RESOLVED 2026-08-01** — split out of the combined row and closed. `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.PerformanceTests/Failover/FailoverTimingTests.cs` is no longer a skipped placeholder: it runs as a live `[Fact]` (`Category=Performance`) on the real two-node in-process rig (`TwoNodeClusterFixture`, production `BuildHocon`) at production timings — 2s heartbeat / 10s failure-detection threshold / 15s stable-after — hard-killing the younger node and timing the survivor's member REMOVAL with singleton continuity asserted on the oldest. Delivered by **PLAN-R2-01 Task 4** (`archreview/plans/PLAN-R2-01-cluster-host-failover.md:226`). The oldest-crash direction is covered behaviorally by `SbrFailoverTests.AutoDown_HardCrashOfOldestNode_*` and by `docker/failover-drill.sh`. | The 2026-07-08 "PLAN-01 rig landing" trigger had fired unnoticed (NF2); PLAN-R2-01 T4 wired the placeholder to the fixture rig rather than recording a blocker. | Closed. |
| Broader perf envelope — **S&F drain rate + per-subscriber stream backpressure** (the still-open half of the former combined row) | Never measured, and no owner plan survives now that PLAN-R2-01 closed the failover half. `PerformanceTests` covers failover timing, staggered startup, health aggregation, audit hot-path latency and a **single-subscriber** 100k-event `Streaming/SiteStreamThroughputTests.cs` — nothing measures store-and-forward drain throughput, nor what a slow/stalled subscriber does to the per-subscriber buffering in `Communication/Actors/StreamRelayActor.cs` / `Grpc/SiteStreamGrpcServer.cs` with many subscribers attached. No defect observed; deferred as measurement-only work. | First field S&F backlog that fails to drain within an operator's patience, a slow gRPC subscriber degrading a site stream for others, or the WP-4 target-scale run (row 25) being scheduled — that run should absorb this |

## Deferred — operational risk (from the initiative tracker, folded in 2026-07-12)
Two live items previously tracked ONLY in `archreview/plans/00-MASTER-TRACKER.md`'s registry are folded in here (NF5) so this register is the single tracking place. The tracker's narrative subsections remain as the historical evidence.

| # | Item | Where noted | Rationale for deferral | Revisit trigger |
|---|------|-------------|------------------------|-----------------|
| SBR | ~~**SBR oldest-crash total-outage gap**~~ **RESOLVED 2026-07-21 (owner decision — availability over partition-safety).** All clusters switched from `keep-oldest` to the `auto-down` downing strategy (Akka `AutoDowning`, `auto-down-unreachable-after` = 15s): a hard crash of EITHER node — active/oldest included — now fails over to the survivor in ~25s with no operator action. Accepted trade: a real network partition produces dual-active until an operator restarts one side. Decision record + evidence (live keep-oldest `DownReachable … including myself` log, Akka.NET 1.5.62 `KeepOldest.OldestDecision` source, rejected alternatives incl. the static-quorum-1 `DownAll` trap): `docs/plans/2026-07-21-auto-down-availability-decision.md`. | `archreview/plans/00-MASTER-TRACKER.md:194` + auto-memory `sbr-keep-oldest-2node-active-crash-gap` (both now historical) | — | Closed. Residual: seed-node boot-alone constraint (unchanged, documented in `Component-ClusterInfrastructure.md`); dual-active recovery is operator-driven. |
| vd03 | **`deploy/wonder-app-vd03/` overlay edits unapplied** — `appsettings.Central.json` needs `AllowSingleNodeCluster: true` + phantom-seed removal + `NodeName: central-a`; `install.ps1` needs `sc.exe failure` recovery actions. The `deploy/wonder-app-vd03/` artifact directory is intentionally untracked (production config out of source control), so the repo cannot ship the fix. | `archreview/plans/00-MASTER-TRACKER.md:198` (PLAN-01 T16/T20/T23) | Needs on-host access; without `NodeName` that deployment's audit rows stamp NULL `SourceNode` — **partially mitigated once PLAN-R2-08 Task 7 lands: the host now FAILS AT BOOT with a key-naming error instead of silently NULLing, so applying the overlay becomes mandatory at the next upgrade.** Owner: whoever maintains the host (user). | Next wonder-app-vd03 deployment/upgrade — **the Task 7 validator makes this row unskippable then.** |
