Joseph Doherty 108220c36b R1.5 GetTagExtendedPropertiesAsync (GetTepByNm) + R1.6 closed (no op)
Ship tag extended-property reads over the 2020 WCF aa/Retr/GetTepByNm op:
HistorianClient.GetTagExtendedPropertiesAsync(tag) -> name/value pairs.

String-handle op reached with the Open2 storage-session GUID formatted
uppercase (same format that unlocked GETRP/GETHI/ExeC). Routed via the
name-based native path (GetTagExtendedPropertiesByName, server-fetch flag),
not the index-based TagQuery path.

Evidence-backed findings from the capture:
- GetTepByNm (and GetTgByNm) succeed with the uppercase handle -- further
  validates the resolved string-handle wall.
- QTB (StartTagQuery) does NOT punch through: captured uppercase, it still
  fails server-side (CMdServer::StartActiveTagnamesQuery over the
  aahMetadataServer pipe) -- a metadata-server blocker, not handle format.
- R1.6 (localized properties) has NO distinct op (only error-message/UI-text
  localization in the managed client); collapses into R1.5. Closed, not throwing.

Wire format (golden-pinned, synthetic bytes -- no dev tag names committed):
- request tagNames = uint count + per-name(uint charCount + UTF-16)
- response = uint tagCount + per-tag(marker + compact-ASCII name +
  uint propCount + per-prop(marker + compact-ASCII name + 0x43 VT_BSTR value)
  + trailer); sequence-paged.

Adds: HistorianTagExtendedProperty model, HistorianTagExtendedPropertyProtocol
(codec), HistorianWcfTagExtendedPropertyClient (orchestration), dialect +
public API; golden WcfTagExtendedPropertyProtocolTests (4) + gated live test
(HISTORIAN_TEP_TAG). Tooling: Capture-TagExtendedProperties.ps1,
decode-tag-properties-capture.py, harness tag-extended-properties scenario.
Docs: wcf-tag-extended-properties.md; roadmap R1.5 DONE / R1.6 collapsed;
wall doc + memory updated with the QTB-server-side nuance. 228 tests green.

.SYNOPSIS
Captures the native AVEVA client's GetTagExtendedPropertiesFromName (GetTepByNm) wire traffic
(HCAL roadmap R1.5) so the WCF op name, the string-handle format, the tagNames request buffer,
and the extended-property response buffer can be decoded instead of guessed.
.DESCRIPTION
Drives the .NET-Framework NativeTraceHarness's tag scenario with --retrieve-extended-properties,
which flips TagQueryArgs.RetrieveTagExtendedPropertyInfo and then calls
TagQuery.GetTagExtendedPropertyInfo(start, count, out TagExtendedPropertyGroupList, out err) —
the managed method that issues the GetTepByNm op. An IL-rewritten copy of aahClientManaged.dll
logs every MDAS body (ClientMessageEncoder.WriteMessage + ReadMessage), the same pipeline that
produced every other proven request/response shape.
Decode with scripts/decode-tag-properties-capture.py: locate the WCF.WriteMessage.Body whose op
is aa/Retr/GetTepByNm -> that is the request (string handle + tagNames buffer + sequence). The
paired WCF.ReadMessage.Body is the extended-property response buffer.
.NOTES
Read-only metadata call; no data is written. Artifacts are diagnostic and gitignored.
Sanitize before copying anything into docs/ -- never commit raw capture NDJSON, credentials,
hostnames, or customer tag names. SysTimeSec is a built-in system tag (safe to name).
