Joseph Doherty 6ae0fea558 fix(error-handling): close Theme 4 — 18 cancellation / fire-and-forget findings
Async cancellation hygiene, fire-and-forget observability, retry/shutdown
semantics, and audit-row coverage across 9 modules. Highlights:

Cancellation & lifecycle:
- AuditLog-006: SqliteAuditWriter.Dispose hops to thread pool, escaping the
  captured SyncContext that risked sync-over-async deadlock.
- AuditLog-010: SiteAuditTelemetryActor owns a private lifecycle CTS,
  threaded through drain paths instead of CancellationToken.None.
- Comm-019: CentralCommunicationActor adds lifecycle CTS for repo calls.
- Host-019: Migration StartupRetry forwards ApplicationStopping so SIGTERM
  during the bounded-retry window aborts cleanly.

Cursor / retry / counter correctness:
- AuditLog-004: SiteAuditReconciliationActor's cursor now holds at `since`
  when any row's idempotent insert is still being retried (per-EventId
  retry counter, MaxPermanentInsertAttempts=5 escape valve with LogCritical
  abandon). No more silent abandonment of permanently-failing rows.
- ConfigDB-019: Dropped the catch-and-continue on EnsureLookaheadAsync's
  SPLIT loop — by class-doc construction the catch could only mask real
  failures and let the next iteration create permanent partition holes.
- HM-017/018: HealthReportSender + CentralHealthReportLoop snapshot
  per-interval counters before sending, restore via new
  ISiteHealthCollector.AddIntervalCounters on transport failure so counts
  aren't silently lost.

Fire-and-forget / shutdown waits:
- InboundAPI-018: AuditWriteMiddleware observes faulted audit-write tasks
  via OnlyOnFaulted continuation (Warning log; response unchanged).
- SnF-024: StoreAndForwardService.StopAsync awaits in-flight retry sweep
  with a bounded SweepShutdownWaitTimeout (10s).

Leak / refactor:
- Comm-021: SiteStreamGrpcServer.SubscribeInstance wraps Subscribe in its
  own try/catch so a throw doesn't leak the relay actor or _activeStreams
  entry.
- Comm-022: VERIFIED already-closed by Comm-016's dead-code purge.
- CLI-017: BundleCommands' three subcommands delegate to ExecuteCommandAsync
  (auth-failure exit-code contract unified).

Defensive / validation:
- CLI-021: CliConfig.Load wraps file-read/JSON parse so malformed config
  prints a warning and returns defaults instead of crashing the CLI.
- Host-022: ParseLevel emits stderr one-shot warning for unrecognised
  MinimumLevel instead of silently coercing to Information.
- ESG-019: ExternalSystemClient sets HttpClient.Timeout=Infinite so the
  per-call CTS is the sole timeout source (was clipped to 100s by .NET).
- Security-020: New SecurityOptionsValidator (IValidateOptions) rejects
  empty LdapServer/LdapSearchBase with ValidateOnStart.
- DM-019: Lifecycle command timeouts now emit DisableTimedOut/EnableTimedOut/
  DeleteTimedOut audit entries (mirrors DeployFailed pattern).

Plus reconciled stale per-module Open-findings counters that had drifted
from prior sessions.

20+ new regression tests across 11 test projects; build clean; affected
suites all green. README regenerated: 75 open (was 93).

# Code Reviews
Comprehensive, per-module code reviews of the ScadaLink codebase. Each module (one
buildable project under `src/`) has its own folder containing a `findings.md`. This
README is the aggregated index — the single place to see all outstanding work.
> Generated by `regen-readme.py` from the per-module `findings.md` files. Do not
> edit by hand — edit the findings files and re-run the script.
## How it works
- Reviews are performed one module at a time against a fixed checklist.
- Every finding is recorded in the module's `findings.md` with a severity and status.
- Findings are **never deleted** — they are closed by changing their status, keeping
a full audit trail.
- This README aggregates every **pending** finding (`Open` / `In Progress`) across all
modules.
See **[REVIEW-PROCESS.md](REVIEW-PROCESS.md)** for the full procedure: the review
checklist, severity definitions, finding format, and how to mark items resolved.

## Baseline review — 2026-05-16
All 19 modules were reviewed at commit `9c60592` (241 findings: 6 Critical, 46 High,
100 Medium, 89 Low). The tables below track what remains **open** as findings are
resolved and re-triaged; findings discovered after the baseline are appended to their
module file and counted in **Total**.

## Pending Findings
Every `Open` / `In Progress` finding across all modules, highest severity first.
Resolved findings drop off this list but remain recorded in their module's
`findings.md` (see [REVIEW-PROCESS.md](REVIEW-PROCESS.md) §4–§5). Full detail —
description, location, recommendation — lives in the module's `findings.md`.

| InboundAPI-025 | [InboundAPI](InboundAPI/findings.md) | `AuditWriteMiddleware` runs against the entire `/api/*` branch — emits spurious `ApiInbound` audit rows for `/api/audit/query` and `/api/audit/export` |

| NotificationService-020 | [NotificationService](NotificationService/findings.md) | NS-001 fix superseded; `AkkaHostedService` would register two competing `Notification` S&F handlers if both code paths ran |
| NotificationService-024 | [NotificationService](NotificationService/findings.md) | No test affirms the central-only invariant; the orphaned-path tests give a false coverage signal |
| SiteCallAudit-001 | [SiteCallAudit](SiteCallAudit/findings.md) | SupervisorStrategy override is dead code; XML claims Resume that is not enforced |

### Low (50)
| ID | Module | Title |
|----|--------|-------|
| AuditLog-003 | [AuditLog](AuditLog/findings.md) | `AuditLogIngestActor.OnIngestAsync` uses `CreateScope`, but `OnCachedTelemetryAsync` uses `CreateAsyncScope` — and only one disposes asynchronously |

| NotificationService-022 | [NotificationService](NotificationService/findings.md) | `MailKitSmtpClientWrapper` holds a long-lived `SmtpClient`; combined with per-send factory, the design comment about pooling is contradicted |
| NotificationService-025 | [NotificationService](NotificationService/findings.md) | `CredentialRedactor` over-masks: any 4-character credential component is masked anywhere it appears, including unrelated log text |
| Security-021 | [Security](Security/findings.md) | `RequireHttpsCookie=false` dev opt-out has no warning path — an HTTP production deployment silently transmits the JWT bearer credential in cleartext |

| SiteCallAudit-006 | [SiteCallAudit](SiteCallAudit/findings.md) | Stuck-only paging test does not exercise the multi-page boundary with an interleaved non-stuck row at the cursor |
