MxGateway Data Connection Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers-extended-cc:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Add a second data-connection protocol, MxGateway, alongside OPC UA — a clean tag-value pipe (read/subscribe/write) plus Galaxy hierarchy browse, with optional second-endpoint failover.

Architecture: A new MxGatewayDataConnection : IDataConnection, IBrowsableDataConnection adapter registered behind the existing DataConnectionFactory extension point. The adapter talks to the MxAccess Gateway through an IMxGatewayClient seam (testable with a fake; the real impl wraps the ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client NuGet package and GalaxyRepositoryClient). The OPC-UA-named browse plumbing is renamed to protocol-agnostic names so both protocols share one tag-picker path. No entity/schema changes — primary/backup failover already lives on the DataConnection entity.

Tech Stack: .NET 10, Akka.NET (Become/Stash actors), gRPC (ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client + …Contracts from the Gitea feed), Blazor Server + Bootstrap, xUnit + FluentAssertions, central NuGet package management.

Design doc: docs/plans/2026-05-28-mxgateway-data-connection-design.md

Reference skills: Use @superpowers-extended-cc:test-driven-development for every adapter/serializer task. Use @frontend-design for the two .razor UI tasks.


Key facts the implementer needs

  • Extension point: DataConnectionFactory (src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/DataConnectionFactory.cs) registers protocols via RegisterAdapter("OpcUa", details => …) in its constructor. Add one line for "MxGateway".
  • Config flow: stored config JSON → DeploymentManagerActor.FlattenConnectionConfig(protocol, json) (src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.SiteRuntime/Actors/DeploymentManagerActor.cs:759) → IDictionary<string,string>DataConnectionActoradapter.ConnectAsync(details). The actor never knows the protocol's config shape; the dict is the contract. FlattenConnectionConfig currently branches on "OpcUa" and falls back to a generic flat-dict parse for unknown protocols — add an "MxGateway" arm.
  • IDataConnection contract: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Interfaces/Protocol/IDataConnection.cs. Methods: ConnectAsync, DisconnectAsync, SubscribeAsync(tagPath, SubscriptionCallback, ct)→string, UnsubscribeAsync(id), ReadAsync→ReadResult, ReadBatchAsync→IReadOnlyDictionary<string,ReadResult>, WriteAsync→WriteResult, WriteBatchAsync, WriteBatchAndWaitAsync→bool, Status (ConnectionHealth), event Action? Disconnected. Value type: TagValue(object? Value, QualityCode Quality, DateTimeOffset Timestamp); QualityCode { Good, Bad, Uncertain }.
  • IBrowsableDataConnection: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Interfaces/Protocol/IBrowsableDataConnection.csBrowseChildrenAsync(string? parentNodeId, ct)→BrowseChildrenResult(IReadOnlyList<BrowseNode>, bool Truncated). BrowseNode(string NodeId, string DisplayName, BrowseNodeClass NodeClass, bool HasChildren); BrowseNodeClass { Object, Variable, Method, Other }. Throw ConnectionNotConnectedException when no live session. These record/interface names do NOT change in the rename — only the OPC-UA-named command/service/dialog layer does.
  • OPC UA adapter to mirror: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/Adapters/OpcUaDataConnection.cs. Note the _disconnectFired Interlocked.Exchange once-only guard pattern — replicate it.
  • MxGateway client API (in ~/Desktop/MxAccessGateway/clients/dotnet): MxGatewayClient.Create(MxGatewayClientOptions)OpenSessionAsync()→MxGatewaySession. Session: RegisterAsync(clientName)→int serverHandle; AddItemAsync(serverHandle, itemDef)→int itemHandle; AdviseAsync(serverHandle, itemHandle); UnAdviseAsync/RemoveItemAsync; SubscribeBulkAsync/UnsubscribeBulkAsync; ReadBulkAsync(serverHandle, tagAddresses, timeout)→IReadOnlyList<BulkReadResult>; WriteBulkAsync(serverHandle, IReadOnlyList<WriteBulkEntry>)→IReadOnlyList<BulkWriteResult>; StreamEventsAsync(afterWorkerSequence)→IAsyncEnumerable<MxEvent>. Browse: GalaxyRepositoryClient.Create(options)BrowseChildrenRawAsync(BrowseChildrenRequest)→BrowseChildrenReply. Value helpers: MxValueExtensions.ToMxValue(...), .ToClrValue(); MxStatusProxyExtensions.IsSuccess().
  • MxEvent fields: family (MxEventFamily), item_handle, value (MxValue), quality (int, OPC-style; ≥192 = good), source_timestamp (google.protobuf.Timestamp), worker_sequence (uint64), body oneof incl. on_data_change. MxEventFamily.MX_EVENT_FAMILY_ON_DATA_CHANGE = 1.
  • BulkReadResult: tag_address, item_handle, was_successful, was_cached, value (MxValue), quality (int), source_timestamp, statuses, error_message. BulkWriteResult: item_handle, was_successful, hresult?, statuses, error_message.
  • BrowseChildrenReply: children (repeated GalaxyObject), next_page_token, total_child_count, child_has_children (repeated bool). GalaxyObject: gobject_id, tag_name, contained_name, parent_gobject_id, is_area, attributes (repeated GalaxyAttribute). GalaxyAttribute: attribute_name, full_tag_reference, data_type_name, is_array, is_historized, is_alarm. BrowseChildrenRequest parent oneof: parent_gobject_id | parent_tag_name | parent_contained_path; plus page_size, include_attributes.
  • Exceptions: MxGatewaySessionException, MxGatewayAuthenticationException, MxGatewayAuthorizationException, MxGatewayWorkerException, MxGatewayCommandException, MxAccessException — all derive from MxGatewayException.
  • Central package management: versions go in Directory.Packages.props (<PackageVersion>); projects reference <PackageReference Include="…" /> with no version.

Task 1: Packaging foundation — Gitea feed + package refs

Classification: small Estimated implement time: ~4 min Parallelizable with: Task 13 (rename track)

Files:

  • Create: nuget.config (repo root)
  • Modify: Directory.Packages.props
  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.csproj

Step 1: Create nuget.config at repo root

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <clear />
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="dohertj2-gitea" value="https://gitea.dohertylan.com/api/packages/dohertj2/nuget/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
  <!-- Credentials are NOT committed. Provide them per-developer via:
       dotnet nuget add source https://gitea.dohertylan.com/api/packages/dohertj2/nuget/index.json \
         --name dohertj2-gitea --username <user> --password <token> --store-password-in-clear-text
       or NuGet env vars in CI / the docker build (see docker/deploy.sh wiring in Task 19). -->
</configuration>

Step 2: Add package versions to Directory.Packages.props (under the existing <ItemGroup>; check the published version with dotnet package search ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client --source dohertj2-gitea — README references 0.1.0, use the latest available):

    <PackageVersion Include="ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client" Version="0.1.0" />
    <PackageVersion Include="ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts" Version="0.1.0" />

Step 3: Add the PackageReference to the DCL csproj (in the first <ItemGroup>, after the OPC UA reference):

    <PackageReference Include="ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client" />

(…Contracts comes in transitively.)

Step 4: Restore and verify

Run: dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx Expected: restore succeeds, the MxGateway packages resolve from the Gitea feed. If it fails with 401, the developer must add feed credentials (see the comment in nuget.config) — surface that, don't hardcode a token.

Step 5: Commit

git add nuget.config Directory.Packages.props src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.csproj
git commit -m "build(dcl): add Gitea feed + ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client package reference"

Task 2: MxGatewayEndpointConfig type

Classification: small Estimated implement time: ~3 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Types/DataConnections/MxGatewayEndpointConfig.cs

Step 1: Write the type (mirrors OpcUaEndpointConfig — a mutable POCO with defaults; fields per the design's config table):

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Types.DataConnections;

/// <summary>
/// Per-endpoint configuration for an MxGateway data connection. Serialized to the
/// typed JSON shape stored in <c>DataConnection.PrimaryConfiguration</c> /
/// <c>BackupConfiguration</c>. Both primary and backup use this same shape — the
/// backup is simply a second gateway endpoint for failover.
/// </summary>
public class MxGatewayEndpointConfig
{
    /// <summary>Gateway base URL (e.g. "http://localhost:5000").</summary>
    public string Endpoint { get; set; } = "http://localhost:5000";
    /// <summary>API key sent to the gateway as <c>authorization: Bearer &lt;key&gt;</c>.</summary>
    public string ApiKey { get; set; } = "";
    /// <summary>MXAccess client registration name. Blank → derive "scadabridge-&lt;connName&gt;" at connect time.</summary>
    public string ClientName { get; set; } = "";
    /// <summary>MXAccess user id applied to every write-back. 0 = no user context.</summary>
    public int WriteUserId { get; set; }
    /// <summary>Use TLS to a secured gateway.</summary>
    public bool UseTls { get; set; }
    /// <summary>Path to the CA certificate (TLS only).</summary>
    public string CaFile { get; set; } = "";
    /// <summary>TLS server-name override.</summary>
    public string ServerName { get; set; } = "";
    /// <summary>ReadBulk per-call timeout in milliseconds.</summary>
    public int ReadTimeoutMs { get; set; } = 5000;
}

Step 2: Build the Commons project

Run: dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.csproj Expected: PASS.

Step 3: Commit

git add src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Types/DataConnections/MxGatewayEndpointConfig.cs
git commit -m "feat(commons): add MxGatewayEndpointConfig type"

Task 3: MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer + tests

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 4, Task 13, Task 14

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Serialization/MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.cs
  • Test: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/Serialization/MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializerTests.cs

This is simpler than the OPC UA serializer — MxGateway is net-new, so there is no legacy flat-dict shape to fall back to. Provide Serialize, Deserialize (typed-or-default), ToFlatDict, FromFlatDict. (Locate the existing OPC UA serializer tests under tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/Serialization/ and mirror their style.)

Step 1: Write the failing test

using FluentAssertions;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Serialization;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Types.DataConnections;
using Xunit;

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests.Serialization;

public class MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializerTests
{
    [Fact]
    public void Serialize_then_Deserialize_round_trips_all_fields()
    {
        var cfg = new MxGatewayEndpointConfig
        {
            Endpoint = "https://gw:5001", ApiKey = "k", ClientName = "c",
            WriteUserId = 7, UseTls = true, CaFile = "/ca.pem",
            ServerName = "gw.local", ReadTimeoutMs = 1234
        };
        var json = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.Serialize(cfg);
        var back = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.Deserialize(json);
        back.Should().BeEquivalentTo(cfg);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Deserialize_null_or_blank_returns_default()
        => MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.Deserialize(null).Endpoint
            .Should().Be(new MxGatewayEndpointConfig().Endpoint);

    [Fact]
    public void ToFlatDict_FromFlatDict_round_trips()
    {
        var cfg = new MxGatewayEndpointConfig { Endpoint = "http://x", ApiKey = "k", WriteUserId = 3, ReadTimeoutMs = 999 };
        var dict = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.ToFlatDict(cfg);
        var back = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.FromFlatDict(dict);
        back.Should().BeEquivalentTo(cfg);
    }

    [Fact]
    public void FromFlatDict_invalid_numeric_falls_back_to_default()
    {
        var back = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.FromFlatDict(
            new Dictionary<string, string> { ["ReadTimeoutMs"] = "not-a-number" });
        back.ReadTimeoutMs.Should().Be(new MxGatewayEndpointConfig().ReadTimeoutMs);
    }
}

Step 2: Run to verify it fails

Run: dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/ --filter MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializerTests Expected: FAIL (type does not exist).

Step 3: Write the serializer

using System.Globalization;
using System.Text.Json;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Types.DataConnections;

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Serialization;

/// <summary>
/// Serializes <see cref="MxGatewayEndpointConfig"/> to/from the typed JSON stored in
/// <c>DataConnection.PrimaryConfiguration</c> / <c>BackupConfiguration</c>, and flattens
/// it to the <c>IDictionary&lt;string,string&gt;</c> shape <c>IDataConnection.ConnectAsync</c>
/// expects. MxGateway is net-new, so there is no legacy shape to recover.
/// </summary>
public static class MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer
{
    private static readonly JsonSerializerOptions JsonOpts = new()
    {
        PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase,
        WriteIndented = false,
    };

    public static string Serialize(MxGatewayEndpointConfig config)
        => JsonSerializer.Serialize(config, JsonOpts);

    public static MxGatewayEndpointConfig Deserialize(string? json)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(json)) return new MxGatewayEndpointConfig();
        try { return JsonSerializer.Deserialize<MxGatewayEndpointConfig>(json, JsonOpts) ?? new MxGatewayEndpointConfig(); }
        catch (JsonException) { return new MxGatewayEndpointConfig(); }
    }

    public static IDictionary<string, string> ToFlatDict(MxGatewayEndpointConfig c) => new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        ["Endpoint"] = c.Endpoint,
        ["ApiKey"] = c.ApiKey,
        ["ClientName"] = c.ClientName,
        ["WriteUserId"] = c.WriteUserId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
        ["UseTls"] = c.UseTls.ToString(),
        ["CaFile"] = c.CaFile,
        ["ServerName"] = c.ServerName,
        ["ReadTimeoutMs"] = c.ReadTimeoutMs.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
    };

    public static MxGatewayEndpointConfig FromFlatDict(IDictionary<string, string> d)
    {
        var c = new MxGatewayEndpointConfig();
        if (d.TryGetValue("Endpoint", out var ep) && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ep)) c.Endpoint = ep;
        if (d.TryGetValue("ApiKey", out var ak)) c.ApiKey = ak;
        if (d.TryGetValue("ClientName", out var cn)) c.ClientName = cn;
        if (d.TryGetValue("WriteUserId", out var wu) && int.TryParse(wu, out var wuv)) c.WriteUserId = wuv;
        if (d.TryGetValue("UseTls", out var tls) && bool.TryParse(tls, out var tlsv)) c.UseTls = tlsv;
        if (d.TryGetValue("CaFile", out var ca)) c.CaFile = ca;
        if (d.TryGetValue("ServerName", out var sn)) c.ServerName = sn;
        if (d.TryGetValue("ReadTimeoutMs", out var rt) && int.TryParse(rt, out var rtv)) c.ReadTimeoutMs = rtv;
        return c;
    }
}

Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/ --filter MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializerTests Expected: PASS (4 tests).

Step 5: Commit

git add src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Serialization/MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.cs tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/Serialization/MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializerTests.cs
git commit -m "feat(commons): MxGatewayEndpointConfig serializer + tests"

Task 4: MxGatewayEndpointConfigValidator + tests

Classification: small Estimated implement time: ~3 min Parallelizable with: Task 3, Task 13, Task 14

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Validators/MxGatewayEndpointConfigValidator.cs
  • Test: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Tests/Validators/MxGatewayEndpointConfigValidatorTests.cs

Mirror OpcUaEndpointConfigValidator (returns a list of error strings, prefixed). Rules: Endpoint required + must be an absolute http(s) URI; ApiKey required; ReadTimeoutMs > 0; if UseTls and CaFile set, CaFile must be non-blank (warn only if blank — TLS can use system roots). Read the existing validator first to match the exact signature (likely static IReadOnlyList<string> Validate(MxGatewayEndpointConfig cfg, string prefix)).

Step 1: Write failing tests (valid config → no errors; blank Endpoint → error; blank ApiKey → error; ReadTimeoutMs 0 → error). Step 2: Run, verify FAIL. Step 3: Implement. Step 4: Run, verify PASS. Step 5: Commit feat(commons): MxGatewayEndpointConfig validator + tests.


Task 5: Client seam interfaces + MxGatewayGlobalOptions

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/Adapters/IMxGatewayClient.cs
  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/MxGatewayGlobalOptions.cs

The seam uses neutral DTOs (no generated protobuf types) so the adapter and its tests never touch the NuGet package — the real impl (Task 11) translates. This is the same pattern as IOpcUaClient.

Step 1: Write IMxGatewayClient.cs

using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Interfaces.Protocol;

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Adapters;

/// <summary>Connection parameters resolved from the flat config dict.</summary>
public record MxGatewayConnectionOptions(
    string Endpoint, string ApiKey, string ClientName, int WriteUserId,
    bool UseTls, string? CaFile, string? ServerName, int ReadTimeoutMs);

/// <summary>One advised-tag value change pushed from the gateway event stream.</summary>
public record MxValueUpdate(string TagPath, object? Value, QualityCode Quality, DateTimeOffset Timestamp);

/// <summary>Per-tag read outcome.</summary>
public record MxReadOutcome(string TagPath, bool Success, object? Value, QualityCode Quality, DateTimeOffset Timestamp, string? Error);

/// <summary>Per-tag write outcome.</summary>
public record MxWriteOutcome(string TagPath, bool Success, string? Error);

/// <summary>One node in a Galaxy browse level.</summary>
public record MxBrowseChild(string NodeId, string DisplayName, BrowseNodeClass NodeClass, bool HasChildren);

/// <summary>
/// Seam over the MxAccess Gateway .NET client + Galaxy repository client. Decouples
/// <see cref="MxGatewayDataConnection"/> from the generated gRPC/protobuf types so the
/// adapter is unit-testable with a fake. The real implementation lives in
/// <c>RealMxGatewayClient</c> (Task 11).
/// </summary>
public interface IMxGatewayClient : IAsyncDisposable
{
    /// <summary>Opens the gateway session and registers the client (Register → serverHandle held internally).</summary>
    Task ConnectAsync(MxGatewayConnectionOptions options, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>Closes the session.</summary>
    Task DisconnectAsync(CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>AddItem + Advise; returns the gateway item handle (as a string subscription id).</summary>
    Task<string> SubscribeAsync(string tagPath, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>UnAdvise + RemoveItem for a previously returned subscription id.</summary>
    Task UnsubscribeAsync(string subscriptionId, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>Snapshot read of one or more tags (ReadBulk).</summary>
    Task<IReadOnlyList<MxReadOutcome>> ReadAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> tagPaths, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>Write one or more tag/value pairs (WriteBulk with the configured WriteUserId).</summary>
    Task<IReadOnlyList<MxWriteOutcome>> WriteAsync(IReadOnlyList<(string TagPath, object? Value)> writes, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>One Galaxy browse level (BrowseChildren). parentNodeId null → root.</summary>
    Task<(IReadOnlyList<MxBrowseChild> Children, bool Truncated)> BrowseChildrenAsync(string? parentNodeId, CancellationToken ct = default);

    /// <summary>
    /// Long-running event consumer. Invokes <paramref name="onUpdate"/> for each advised-tag
    /// data change. Resumes from the last delivered worker sequence on reconnect. Completes
    /// (or throws) when the stream ends — the adapter treats that as a disconnect.
    /// </summary>
    Task RunEventLoopAsync(Action<MxValueUpdate> onUpdate, CancellationToken ct = default);
}

/// <summary>Builds <see cref="IMxGatewayClient"/> instances.</summary>
public interface IMxGatewayClientFactory
{
    IMxGatewayClient Create();
}

Step 2: Write MxGatewayGlobalOptions.cs

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer;

/// <summary>
/// Deployment-wide MxGateway defaults, bound from the "MxGateway" section of
/// appsettings.json. Per-endpoint behavior lives on MxGatewayEndpointConfig.
/// </summary>
public class MxGatewayGlobalOptions
{
    /// <summary>Prefix used to derive a per-connection client registration name when the connection's ClientName is blank.</summary>
    public string ClientNamePrefix { get; set; } = "scadabridge";
}

Step 3: Build the DCL project. Run: dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/. Expected: PASS.

Step 4: Commit feat(dcl): MxGateway client seam interfaces + global options.


Task 6: Adapter — connect / disconnect / status / Disconnected + value mapping

Classification: high-risk Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/Adapters/MxGatewayDataConnection.cs
  • Create: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests/Adapters/FakeMxGatewayClient.cs
  • Test: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests/Adapters/MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.cs

Locate the existing OPC UA adapter test project (the dir holding OpcUaDataConnectionTests / fake clients) and place these alongside it; adjust the namespace/paths above if the actual project name differs.

Step 1: Write FakeMxGatewayClient — records calls; lets tests push MxValueUpdates into the captured onUpdate, and complete/fault the event loop on demand:

using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Adapters;

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests.Adapters;

public sealed class FakeMxGatewayClient : IMxGatewayClient, IMxGatewayClientFactory
{
    public MxGatewayConnectionOptions? ConnectedWith;
    public readonly List<string> Subscribed = new();
    public readonly TaskCompletionSource EventLoopGate = new(TaskCreationOptions.RunContinuationsAsynchronously);
    public Action<MxValueUpdate>? OnUpdate;
    public Func<IReadOnlyList<string>, IReadOnlyList<MxReadOutcome>>? ReadHandler;
    public Func<IReadOnlyList<(string, object?)>, IReadOnlyList<MxWriteOutcome>>? WriteHandler;
    public Func<string?, (IReadOnlyList<MxBrowseChild>, bool)>? BrowseHandler;
    private int _nextHandle;

    public IMxGatewayClient Create() => this;
    public Task ConnectAsync(MxGatewayConnectionOptions o, CancellationToken ct = default) { ConnectedWith = o; return Task.CompletedTask; }
    public Task DisconnectAsync(CancellationToken ct = default) => Task.CompletedTask;
    public Task<string> SubscribeAsync(string tag, CancellationToken ct = default) { Subscribed.Add(tag); return Task.FromResult((++_nextHandle).ToString()); }
    public Task UnsubscribeAsync(string id, CancellationToken ct = default) { Subscribed.Remove(id); return Task.CompletedTask; }
    public Task<IReadOnlyList<MxReadOutcome>> ReadAsync(IReadOnlyList<string> tags, CancellationToken ct = default) => Task.FromResult(ReadHandler!(tags));
    public Task<IReadOnlyList<MxWriteOutcome>> WriteAsync(IReadOnlyList<(string, object?)> w, CancellationToken ct = default) => Task.FromResult(WriteHandler!(w));
    public Task<(IReadOnlyList<MxBrowseChild>, bool)> BrowseChildrenAsync(string? p, CancellationToken ct = default) => Task.FromResult(BrowseHandler!(p));
    public async Task RunEventLoopAsync(Action<MxValueUpdate> onUpdate, CancellationToken ct = default)
    {
        OnUpdate = onUpdate;
        using var reg = ct.Register(() => EventLoopGate.TrySetResult());
        await EventLoopGate.Task;          // test completes this to end the loop…
        ct.ThrowIfCancellationRequested(); // …or faults it to simulate a stream break
    }
    public ValueTask DisposeAsync() => ValueTask.CompletedTask;
    public void FaultEventLoop() => EventLoopGate.TrySetException(new Exception("stream broke"));
}

Step 2: Write failing tests

[Fact]
public async Task ConnectAsync_resolves_options_and_sets_status_connected() { /* connect with a flat dict; assert fake.ConnectedWith.Endpoint + Status == Connected */ }

[Fact]
public async Task Disconnected_fires_exactly_once_when_event_loop_faults() { /* hook event; FaultEventLoop(); assert raised once */ }

Step 3: Implement the adapter core. Class declaration + connect + the value-mapping helper:

using System.Collections.Concurrent;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Interfaces.Protocol;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Serialization;
using ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons.Types.Enums;

namespace ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Adapters;

public class MxGatewayDataConnection : IDataConnection, IBrowsableDataConnection
{
    private readonly IMxGatewayClientFactory _clientFactory;
    private readonly ILogger<MxGatewayDataConnection> _logger;
    private IMxGatewayClient? _client;
    private ConnectionHealth _status = ConnectionHealth.Disconnected;
    private CancellationTokenSource? _eventLoopCts;
    // subscriptionId → (tagPath, callback) so the event loop can route updates by tag.
    private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, (string TagPath, SubscriptionCallback Callback)> _subs = new();
    private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, string> _tagToSub = new();
    private int _disconnectFired; // 0 = not fired, 1 = fired — Interlocked guard, mirrors OpcUaDataConnection.

    public MxGatewayDataConnection(IMxGatewayClientFactory clientFactory, ILogger<MxGatewayDataConnection> logger)
    { _clientFactory = clientFactory; _logger = logger; }

    public ConnectionHealth Status => _status;
    public event Action? Disconnected;

    public async Task ConnectAsync(IDictionary<string, string> connectionDetails, CancellationToken ct = default)
    {
        var cfg = MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.FromFlatDict(connectionDetails);
        Interlocked.Exchange(ref _disconnectFired, 0); // reset guard on (re)connect, like OPC UA
        _client = _clientFactory.Create();

Step 4: Run tests, verify PASS. Run: dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests/ --filter MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.

Task 7: Adapter — subscribe / unsubscribe + event routing

Classification: high-risk Estimated implement time: ~4 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 Depends on: Task 6

Files:

  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/Adapters/MxGatewayDataConnection.cs
  • Test: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests/Adapters/MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.cs

Step 1: Test: after SubscribeAsync("Area.Pump.Speed", cb), pushing an MxValueUpdate for that tag through the fake's OnUpdate invokes cb with the mapped TagValue; UnsubscribeAsync stops routing.

Step 2: Run, verify FAIL (NotImplementedException).

Step 3: Implement:

public async Task<string> SubscribeAsync(string tagPath, SubscriptionCallback callback, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var subId = await _client!.SubscribeAsync(tagPath, ct);
    _subs[subId] = (tagPath, callback);
    _tagToSub[tagPath] = subId;
    return subId;
}

public async Task UnsubscribeAsync(string subscriptionId, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    if (_subs.TryRemove(subscriptionId, out var s)) _tagToSub.TryRemove(s.TagPath, out _);
    await _client!.UnsubscribeAsync(subscriptionId, ct);
}

Step 4: Run tests, verify PASS. Step 5: Commit feat(dcl): MxGateway subscribe/unsubscribe + event routing.


Task 8: Adapter — read / write + error classification

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 Depends on: Task 6

Files:

  • Modify: MxGatewayDataConnection.cs
  • Test: MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.cs

Step 1: Tests: ReadAsync maps a successful MxReadOutcome to ReadResult(true, TagValue, null) and a failed one to ReadResult(false, null, error); ReadBatchAsync returns a dict keyed by tag; WriteAsync maps MxWriteOutcome success/failure to WriteResult; WriteBatchAsync returns a per-tag dict.

Step 2: Run, verify FAIL.

Step 3: Implement (single reads/writes delegate to the batch path):

public async Task<ReadResult> ReadAsync(string tagPath, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var r = (await _client!.ReadAsync(new[] { tagPath }, ct)).Single();
    return r.Success
        ? new ReadResult(true, new TagValue(r.Value, r.Quality, r.Timestamp), null)
        : new ReadResult(false, null, r.Error);
}

public async Task<IReadOnlyDictionary<string, ReadResult>> ReadBatchAsync(IEnumerable<string> tagPaths, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var list = tagPaths.ToList();
    var results = await _client!.ReadAsync(list, ct);
    return results.ToDictionary(r => r.TagPath, r => r.Success
        ? new ReadResult(true, new TagValue(r.Value, r.Quality, r.Timestamp), null)
        : new ReadResult(false, null, r.Error));
}

public async Task<WriteResult> WriteAsync(string tagPath, object? value, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var w = (await _client!.WriteAsync(new[] { (tagPath, value) }, ct)).Single();
    return new WriteResult(w.Success, w.Error);
}

public async Task<IReadOnlyDictionary<string, WriteResult>> WriteBatchAsync(IDictionary<string, object?> values, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    var results = await _client!.WriteAsync(values.Select(kv => (kv.Key, kv.Value)).ToList(), ct);
    return results.ToDictionary(w => w.TagPath, w => new WriteResult(w.Success, w.Error));
}

Error-classification note for the implementer: per-tag failures (Success == false) are returned to the caller as shown — they must NOT raise Disconnected. Transport/session faults surface as exceptions from the seam (the real impl in Task 11 throws MxGatewaySessionException/gRPC errors), which the DataConnectionActor already catches and which the event loop turns into a Disconnected. Auth failures are handled at connect time (Task 11).

Step 4: Run tests, verify PASS. Step 5: Commit feat(dcl): MxGateway read/write batch + error classification.


Task 9: Adapter — WriteBatchAndWaitAsync

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~4 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 Depends on: Task 8

Files:

  • Modify: MxGatewayDataConnection.cs
  • Test: MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.cs

Step 1: Tests: writes values+flag, then polls responsePath; returns true when the response value appears before timeout, false on timeout. Drive via the fake's ReadHandler (return the expected value after N polls / never).

Step 2: Run, verify FAIL.

Step 3: Implement generically (write the batch, write the flag, poll the response path until match or timeout):

public async Task<bool> WriteBatchAndWaitAsync(
    IDictionary<string, object?> values, string flagPath, object? flagValue,
    string responsePath, object? responseValue, TimeSpan timeout, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    await WriteBatchAsync(values, ct);
    await WriteAsync(flagPath, flagValue, ct);

    using var timeoutCts = CancellationTokenSource.CreateLinkedTokenSource(ct);
    timeoutCts.CancelAfter(timeout);
    try
    {
        while (!timeoutCts.IsCancellationRequested)
        {
            var r = await ReadAsync(responsePath, timeoutCts.Token);
            if (r.Success && Equals(r.Value?.ToString(), responseValue?.ToString())) return true;
            await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200), timeoutCts.Token);
        }
    }
    catch (OperationCanceledException) when (!ct.IsCancellationRequested) { /* timeout */ }
    return false;
}

(Value comparison uses string projection to tolerate numeric type differences across the gRPC boundary — match the OPC UA adapter's comparison approach if it differs; check OpcUaDataConnection.WriteBatchAndWaitAsync.)

Step 4: Run tests, verify PASS. Step 5: Commit feat(dcl): MxGateway WriteBatchAndWait.


Task 10: Adapter — Galaxy browse (IBrowsableDataConnection)

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~4 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 Depends on: Task 6

Files:

  • Modify: MxGatewayDataConnection.cs
  • Test: MxGatewayDataConnectionTests.cs

Step 1: Tests: BrowseChildrenAsync(null) maps the fake's children to BrowseChildrenResult (object→BrowseNodeClass.Object, attribute→Variable, HasChildren preserved, Truncated flag passed through); when the seam reports not-connected, the adapter throws ConnectionNotConnectedException.

Step 2: Run, verify FAIL.

Step 3: Implement (the seam already returns neutral MxBrowseChilds; the Galaxy→node mapping itself lives in the real impl, Task 11):

public async Task<BrowseChildrenResult> BrowseChildrenAsync(string? parentNodeId, CancellationToken ct = default)
{
    if (_status != ConnectionHealth.Connected)
        throw new ConnectionNotConnectedException($"MxGateway connection is not connected (status: {_status}).");

    var (children, truncated) = await _client!.BrowseChildrenAsync(parentNodeId, ct);
    var nodes = children
        .Select(c => new BrowseNode(c.NodeId, c.DisplayName, c.NodeClass, c.HasChildren))
        .ToList();
    return new BrowseChildrenResult(nodes, truncated);
}

Step 4: Run tests, verify PASS. Step 5: Commit feat(dcl): MxGateway Galaxy browse via IBrowsableDataConnection.


Task 11: RealMxGatewayClient — seam implementation over the NuGet client

Classification: high-risk Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 Depends on: Task 1, Task 5

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/Adapters/RealMxGatewayClient.cs

This is the only file that touches the generated protobuf/gRPC types. It is integration-shaped (no unit test — exercised in Task 19's smoke against a live/staged gateway). Implement IMxGatewayClient + IMxGatewayClientFactory (RealMxGatewayClientFactory).

Implementation notes (use the verbatim client API from the design doc / key-facts section):

  • ConnectAsync: build MxGatewayClientOptions { Endpoint = new Uri(o.Endpoint), ApiKey = o.ApiKey, UseTls = o.UseTls, CaCertificatePath = o.CaFile, ServerNameOverride = o.ServerName }; _client = MxGatewayClient.Create(opts); _galaxy = GalaxyRepositoryClient.Create(opts); _session = await _client.OpenSessionAsync(ct); _serverHandle = await _session.RegisterAsync(o.ClientName, ct); store o.WriteUserId and o.ReadTimeoutMs. Catch MxGatewayAuthenticationException/MxGatewayAuthorizationException and rethrow (the actor logs + retries on the reconnect cadence — auth failure is treated like a failed connect).
  • SubscribeAsync(tag): var h = await _session.AddItemAsync(_serverHandle, tag, ct); await _session.AdviseAsync(_serverHandle, h, ct); track tag↔h; return h.ToString().
  • UnsubscribeAsync(id): parse handle; await _session.UnAdviseAsync(_serverHandle, h, ct); await _session.RemoveItemAsync(_serverHandle, h, ct);.
  • ReadAsync(tags): var results = await _session.ReadBulkAsync(_serverHandle, tags, TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(_readTimeoutMs), ct); map each BulkReadResultMxReadOutcome(r.TagAddress, r.WasSuccessful, r.Value.ToClrValue(), MapQuality(r.Quality, r.Statuses), r.SourceTimestamp.ToDateTimeOffset(), r.WasSuccessful ? null : r.ErrorMessage).
  • WriteAsync(writes): build WriteBulkEntry { ItemHandle = handleForTag, Value = value.ToMxValue(), UserId = _writeUserId } (resolve item handle; AddItem on demand if the tag isn't already advised — keep a tag→handle cache). await _session.WriteBulkAsync(...); map BulkWriteResultMxWriteOutcome(tag, r.WasSuccessful, r.WasSuccessful ? null : r.ErrorMessage). Value conversion uses the ToMxValue() overloads — pick by runtime type (bool/int/long/float/double/string/DateTime).
  • BrowseChildrenAsync(parentNodeId): build BrowseChildrenRequest { IncludeAttributes = true }; if parentNodeId is non-null set ParentContainedPath = parentNodeId (the NodeId we emit for objects is the contained path); var reply = await _galaxy.BrowseChildrenRawAsync(req, ct); then map: each GalaxyObjectMxBrowseChild(NodeId: obj.ContainedName-or-derived-path, DisplayName: obj.TagName, NodeClass.Object, HasChildren: reply.ChildHasChildren[i]); each GalaxyAttributeMxBrowseChild(NodeId: attr.FullTagReference, DisplayName: attr.AttributeName, NodeClass.Variable, HasChildren: false). Truncated = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(reply.NextPageToken). Map any gRPC RpcException with StatusCode.Unavailable to ConnectionNotConnectedException.
  • RunEventLoopAsync(onUpdate, ct): await foreach (var ev in _session.StreamEventsAsync(_lastSeq, ct)) — for each ev where ev.Family == MxEventFamily.OnDataChange, resolve the tag from ev.ItemHandle, onUpdate(new MxValueUpdate(tag, ev.Value.ToClrValue(), MapQuality(ev.Quality, ev.Statuses), ev.SourceTimestamp.ToDateTimeOffset())), then _lastSeq = ev.WorkerSequence. Let the loop throw on stream break — the adapter turns that into Disconnected.
  • MapQuality(int quality, IReadOnlyList<MxStatusProxy> statuses): if (statuses.Any(s => !s.IsSuccess())) return QualityCode.Bad; return quality >= 192 ? QualityCode.Good : (quality >= 64 ? QualityCode.Uncertain : QualityCode.Bad); (192 = OPC Good, 64 = Uncertain band).
  • DisposeAsync/DisconnectAsync: dispose session + both clients.

Step 1: Write the file. Step 2: Build the DCL project: dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/ — expected PASS (this is where the generated-type field names are verified against the package; fix any casing mismatches against IntelliSense/the generated .cs). Step 3: Commit feat(dcl): RealMxGatewayClient over ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client.


Task 12: Factory registration + options binding + config flatten branch

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13, Task 14 — NO (this task and Task 13 both edit DeploymentManagerActor.cs; run them sequentially) Depends on: Task 3, Task 5, Task 11

Files:

  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/DataConnectionFactory.cs
  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs
  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.SiteRuntime/Actors/DeploymentManagerActor.cs:759
  • Test: tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.DataConnectionLayer.Tests/DataConnectionFactoryTests.cs (and the SiteRuntime test project for the flatten branch)

Step 1: Testfactory.Create("MxGateway", new Dictionary<string,string>()) returns a MxGatewayDataConnection; FlattenConnectionConfig("MxGateway", json) produces the flat dict from MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer. Run, verify FAIL.

Step 2: Register the adapter in DataConnectionFactory (constructor, after the OPC UA registration). The factory currently takes ILoggerFactory + IOptions<OpcUaGlobalOptions>; add an optional IOptions<MxGatewayGlobalOptions> param (default Options.Create(new MxGatewayGlobalOptions()) in the convenience ctor, mirroring the existing OPC UA pattern):

RegisterAdapter("MxGateway", details => new MxGatewayDataConnection(
    new RealMxGatewayClientFactory(_loggerFactory),
    _loggerFactory.CreateLogger<MxGatewayDataConnection>()));

Step 3: Bind options in ServiceCollectionExtensions.AddDataConnectionLayer (after the OpcUaGlobalOptions bind):

        services.AddOptions<MxGatewayGlobalOptions>()
            .BindConfiguration("MxGateway");

Step 4: Add the flatten branch in DeploymentManagerActor.FlattenConnectionConfig (before the generic fallback):

        if (string.Equals(protocol, "MxGateway", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            var config = Commons.Serialization.MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.Deserialize(json);
            return Commons.Serialization.MxGatewayEndpointConfigSerializer.ToFlatDict(config);
        }

Step 5: Run tests, verify PASS; build the solution. Step 6: Commit feat(dcl): register MxGateway protocol in factory + config flatten + options binding.


Task 13: Rename browse message types to protocol-agnostic names

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Tasks 211 (adapter track) — NOT Task 12 (shared file DeploymentManagerActor.cs)

Mechanical rename. No new test — the existing browse tests are the regression guard. Rename map (old → new):

  • BrowseOpcUaNodeCommandBrowseNodeCommand
  • BrowseOpcUaNodeResultBrowseNodeResult
  • CommunicationService.BrowseOpcUaNodeAsyncBrowseNodeAsync

Files (every reference — from the inventory):

  • src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Messages/Management/BrowseCommands.cs (definitions; update the OPC-UA-specific XML doc comments to be protocol-neutral)
  • src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Communication/CommunicationService.cs:360-371 (method + return type)
  • src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Communication/Actors/SiteCommunicationActor.cs:155,158

  • src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.Commons/Messages/Management/ReadTagValuesCommand.cs:11 (doc cross-ref)
  • Any test files referencing BrowseOpcUaNode* (grep the tests/ tree).

Step 1: grep -rn "BrowseOpcUaNode" src tests --include="*.cs" --include="*.razor" to get the live list. Step 2: Rename across all hits (keep BrowseFailure/BrowseFailureKind/BrowseNode/BrowseChildrenResult unchanged — already generic). Step 3: dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx — expected PASS. Step 4: Run existing browse tests: dotnet test --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Browse" — expected PASS. Step 5: Commit refactor(browse): rename BrowseOpcUaNode* to protocol-agnostic BrowseNode*.


Task 14: Rename browse service + dialog to protocol-agnostic names

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Tasks 211 Depends on: Task 13

Mechanical rename within Central UI. Rename map:

  • IOpcUaBrowseServiceIBrowseService; OpcUaBrowseServiceBrowseService (file renames too)

  • Any CentralUI tests referencing these symbols (grep tests/).

Step 1: grep -rn "OpcUaBrowseService\|IOpcUaBrowseService\|OpcUaBrowserDialog" src tests for the live list. Step 2: Rename (use git mv for the file renames). Step 3: dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx — PASS. Step 4: Run CentralUI tests: dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI.Tests/ — PASS. Step 5: Commit refactor(browse): rename OPC-UA browse service + dialog to protocol-agnostic.


Task 15: MxGatewayEndpointEditor.razor

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: Task 13 Depends on: Task 3 Sub-skill: @frontend-design

Files:

  • Create: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/Components/Forms/MxGatewayEndpointEditor.razor

Mirror OpcUaEndpointEditor.razor (read it first for the parameter/binding/validation-display conventions, and follow the form-layout memory: vertical stacking, read-only fields first, buttons at bottom). Two-way bind a MxGatewayEndpointConfig parameter; render inputs for Endpoint, ApiKey (type=password), ClientName, WriteUserId, UseTls (checkbox toggling CaFile/ServerName), ReadTimeoutMs. Show validation errors from MxGatewayEndpointConfigValidator. Parameters: [Parameter] public string Title, [Parameter] public MxGatewayEndpointConfig Config, [Parameter] public EventCallback<MxGatewayEndpointConfig> ConfigChanged, [Parameter] public IReadOnlyList<string> Errors.

Step 1: Build the editor. Step 2: dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/ — PASS. Step 3: Commit feat(centralui): MxGatewayEndpointEditor component.


Task 16: Protocol selector in DataConnectionForm

Classification: standard Estimated implement time: ~5 min Parallelizable with: none (depends on 15) Depends on: Task 3, Task 15 Sub-skill: @frontend-design

Files:

  • Modify: src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/Components/Pages/Design/DataConnectionForm.razor

Currently hardcodes Protocol = "OpcUa" with <OpcUaEndpointEditor>. Add:

  • A protocol <select> (OpcUa | MxGateway) bound to a _protocol field, defaulting from _editingConnection?.Protocol ?? "OpcUa". Disable changing the protocol when editing an existing connection (changing protocol on a saved connection invalidates its config — keep it create-time only; for edit, show it read-only).
  • Conditional editor: @if (_protocol == "OpcUa") { <OpcUaEndpointEditor …/> } else { <MxGatewayEndpointEditor …/> } for primary and (when shown) backup.
  • Separate _primaryMxConfig/_backupMxConfig fields of type MxGatewayEndpointConfig.
  • On load: pick the serializer by _editingConnection.Protocol. On save: serialize with the matching serializer and set _editingConnection.Protocol = _protocol (replace the two hardcoded "OpcUa" literals at lines ~205/213).
  • Validate with the matching validator before save.

Step 1: Implement the branching. Step 2: dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/ — PASS. Step 3: If a bUnit test project covers DataConnectionForm, add/adjust a test that selecting MxGateway renders the MxGateway editor and saves Protocol="MxGateway"; run it. Step 4: Commit feat(centralui): protocol selector + MxGateway editor in DataConnectionForm.


Task 17: Verify MxGateway tag picker on Configure Instance

Classification: small Estimated implement time: ~3 min Parallelizable with: none Depends on: Task 14

Files:

  • Modify (if needed): src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/Components/Pages/Deployment/InstanceConfigure.razor

The browse path is now protocol-agnostic, so NodeBrowserDialog works for any connection whose site-side adapter implements IBrowsableDataConnection. Confirm InstanceConfigure opens the dialog for a connection regardless of protocol (no Protocol == "OpcUa" gate on the browse button). If such a gate exists, remove it / generalize it. The dialog's manual-node-id field already provides the fallback for non-browsable connections.

Step 1: grep -n "OpcUa\|Browse" src/ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.CentralUI/Components/Pages/Deployment/InstanceConfigure.razor — check for a protocol gate on the browse affordance. Step 2: Remove/generalize any gate; build. Step 3: Commit feat(centralui): enable tag picker for MxGateway connections.


Task 18: Documentation

Classification: trivial Estimated implement time: ~4 min Parallelizable with: Task 17 Depends on: Task 12

Files:

  • Modify: docs/requirements/Component-DataConnectionLayer.md
  • Modify: README.md (only if it enumerates protocols)

Add MxGateway under Supported Protocols (gRPC to the MxAccess Gateway; session-based; Galaxy browse via GalaxyRepositoryClient); add an MxGateway Settings config table mirroring the OPC UA one (the Task 2 field table); update the Browsing the address space section to note IBrowsableDataConnection now backs both OPC UA and MxGateway via the protocol-agnostic BrowseNodeCommand/BrowseService. Commit docs(dcl): document MxGateway protocol.


Task 19: Full build, test suite, and deploy smoke

Classification: high-risk Estimated implement time: ~5 min (+ build/deploy wall time) Parallelizable with: none Depends on: all prior tasks

Files:

  • Modify (if needed): docker/deploy.sh (pass NuGet feed credentials into the image build, e.g. a --build-arg or a mounted nuget.config with creds, so dotnet restore inside the container resolves the Gitea packages)

Step 1: dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx — expected: PASS, no warnings (project treats warnings as errors). Step 2: dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.ScadaBridge.slnx — expected: all green (new adapter/serializer/validator tests + unchanged browse regression tests). Step 3: Wire the NuGet credential into docker/deploy.sh if the image build can't restore the Gitea feed; rebuild: bash docker/deploy.sh. Step 4 (optional live smoke): create an MxGateway connection via the CLI/UI pointed at a staged gateway, deploy an instance with a bound tag, confirm values flow and the tag picker browses the Galaxy. Step 5: Commit any deploy.sh change: build(docker): supply Gitea NuGet credentials for image restore.


Parallelization summary

  • Adapter track (Tasks 2→12) and Rename track (Tasks 13→14) run concurrently — disjoint files except DeploymentManagerActor.cs (Task 12's flatten method vs. Task 13's browse routing). Run Task 12 after Task 13 to avoid the collision.
  • UI track (Tasks 15→16, 17) depends on the serializer (Task 3) and the rename (Task 14).
  • Within the adapter track: Task 6 gates 7/8/10; Task 8 gates 9; Task 11 + 3 gate 12.
  • Docs (18) and final integration (19) come last.
