review(Driver.TwinCAT.Contracts): first review; fix ReadArrayLength doc

First review at 7286d320. -001 (Low): ReadArrayLength doc corrected (positive int32 via
TryGetInt32, not uint). -002 (Structure datatype doc) Open. Consistent with the sibling
Driver.TwinCAT-017 ArrayLength flow.

## Cross-module consistency (Driver.TwinCAT-017 context)
Driver.TwinCAT-017 added `int? ArrayLength` to `TwinCATTagDto` in the sibling driver project,
fixing the pre-declared-tag authoring gap. The Contracts module's two consumers of
`TwinCATTagDefinition.ArrayLength` are both consistent:
- `TwinCATEquipmentTagParser.ReadArrayLength` reads `isArray`+`arrayLength` from the
equipment-tag TagConfig JSON (the AdminUI TagModal's `TagArrayConfig` layer). Field names,
guard logic (isArray must be the JSON literal `true`; length must be a positive number), and
the return type (`int?`) all match the driver's consumption in `DiscoverAsync` /
`ReadValueAsync`. No gap.
- `TwinCATDriverOptions.TwinCATTagDefinition` (the record) receives `ArrayLength` from both
`BuildTag` (pre-declared JSON path, fixed by -017) and `TwinCATEquipmentTagParser.TryParse`
(equipment-tag JSON path). Both paths are consistent. No gap introduced by -017.
One minor comment inaccuracy found and fixed below (Driver.TwinCAT.Contracts-001).
## Findings
### Driver.TwinCAT.Contracts-001
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Low |
| Category | Correctness & logic bugs |
| Location | `TwinCATEquipmentTagParser.cs:56-66` (`ReadArrayLength`) |
| Status | Resolved |
**Description:** The XML doc comment for `ReadArrayLength` describes `arrayLength` as "a
positive uint", but the implementation calls `lEl.TryGetInt32(out var len)`. If `arrayLength`
in the TagConfig JSON holds a value greater than `int.MaxValue` (2 147 483 647), `TryGetInt32`
returns `false` and the method silently returns `null` — treating the tag as scalar instead of
returning an error. The comment implies uint semantics but the code applies int semantics,
creating a mismatch that would mislead a maintainer trying to understand the accepted range.
In practice the `TagArrayConfig` layer (AdminUI) writes `arrayLength` as a `uint`, so values
above `int.MaxValue` are theoretically possible in JSON (though no real PLC array would have
two billion elements). The discrepancy is documentation-level rather than a real data-loss risk.
**Recommendation:** Correct the comment to say "a positive int32 (values above `int.MaxValue`
are treated as absent/scalar)" to match the actual `TryGetInt32` call. The simplest safe fix
is the comment correction; the behaviour is acceptable in practice.
**Resolution:** Resolved 2026-06-19 — corrected the `ReadArrayLength` XML doc comment to say
"a positive int32 (values above `int.MaxValue` are treated as absent/scalar)" so it matches
the actual `TryGetInt32` call; no behaviour change. Verified by build: 0 errors, 0 warnings.

### Driver.TwinCAT.Contracts-002
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Severity | Low |
| Category | Documentation & comments |
| Location | `TwinCATDataType.cs:33` (`Structure` member) |
| Status | Open |
**Description:** The `Structure` enum member's XML summary says "UDT / FB instance. Resolved
per member at discovery time." This is accurate for the discovery path, but the comment omits
that `Structure` is **rejected at pre-declaration time** by
`TwinCATDriverFactoryExtensions.BuildTag` (with a clear `InvalidOperationException`), and that
it is also **not parseable as a valid data type by `TwinCATEquipmentTagParser`** (the parser
falls through to the `DInt` fallback because `Structure` is never written by the AdminUI typed
editor). A maintainer reading only the Contracts project will infer that `Structure` is a
usable user-facing data type, when in fact it is an internal-discovery-only sentinel that must
not appear in operator-authored config.
**Recommendation:** Expand the `Structure` XML doc to reflect its actual contract:
```csharp
/// <summary>
/// UDT / FB instance. Used internally by <c>DiscoverAsync</c> when browsing controller
/// symbols — members are resolved to atomic types and emitted individually. Must not be
/// used in pre-declared tags (rejected at initialisation by the factory with
/// <see cref="InvalidOperationException"/>) or in AdminUI equipment-tag configs (the typed
/// editor does not offer it; the parser falls back to <c>DInt</c>).
/// </summary>
Structure,
```
**Resolution:** _(empty until closed)_
