Overturns the earlier wrong "WCF not served on 2023 R2" conclusion (that was a
test error: wrong port/transport for the reverse tunnel). Corrected: the cert
(TLS) transport + NegotiateAuthentication auth reach the 2023 R2 historian
cross-platform; the 0x501 event connection mode makes CM_EVENT RegisterTags
succeed; yet StartEventQuery returns a 0-row buffer + long-polls over a window
that has events. Registration and window ruled out -> the same server-side
per-connection row gate as gRPC. Event reads stay server-gated over BOTH
transports; not client-fixable. Evidence doc rewritten; gRPC + WCF orchestrator
gating messages corrected.

WCF net.tcp (RemoteTcpIntegrated) against the live 2023 R2 historian is reset
at the socket-write/framing layer before any auth — both the event spike and a
basic Probe/ReadRaw throw the identical CommunicationException/SocketException
("forcibly closed by the remote host"). The 2023 R2 box does not serve the
legacy WCF transport; C2's "route via WCF" unblock is moot on this server class.
Sanitized: counts + native return codes + buffer lengths only.
