Restructure README to separate server (.NET 4.8) and client (.NET 10) sections

Prerequisites, build commands, and test instructions are now split by target
framework since the server requires AVEVA/COM/Windows while the clients are
cross-platform.

# LmxOpcUa Server
# LmxOpcUa
OPC UA server on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) that exposes AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy tags via the MXAccess toolkit. Mirrors the Galaxy object hierarchy as an OPC UA address space, translating between contained-name browse paths and tag-name runtime references.
OPC UA server and cross-platform client tools for AVEVA System Platform (Wonderware) Galaxy. The server exposes Galaxy tags via MXAccess as an OPC UA address space. The client stack provides a shared library, CLI tool, and Avalonia desktop application for browsing, reading/writing, subscriptions, alarms, and historical data.

```
**Galaxy Repository** queries the ZB database for the deployed object hierarchy and attribute definitions, building the OPC UA address space at startup and incrementally syncing on deploy changes.
**MXAccess Client** connects to the Galaxy runtime via COM interop on a dedicated STA thread with a Win32 message pump. Handles subscriptions, read/write, reconnection, and probe-based health monitoring.
**OPC UA Server** exposes the hierarchy as browse nodes (folders for areas, objects for containers) with variable nodes for each attribute. Clients browse using contained names but reads/writes translate to `tag_name.AttributeName` for MXAccess.
**Historian Runtime** provides historical data access via SQL queries against the Wonderware Historian `Runtime` database, serving OPC UA `HistoryRead` requests for raw and aggregate data.

## Quick Start
---
### Prerequisites
## Server
The OPC UA server runs on .NET Framework 4.8 (x86) and bridges the Galaxy runtime to OPC UA clients.
### Server Prerequisites
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- AVEVA System Platform with ArchestrA Framework installed
- Galaxy repository database (SQL Server, Windows Auth)
- MXAccess COM registered (`LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer`)
- Wonderware Historian (optional, for historical data access)
- Windows (required for COM interop and MXAccess)
### Build and run
### Build and Run Server
```bash
dotnet restore ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Host
```
The server starts on `opc.tcp://localhost:4840/LmxOpcUa` with the `None` security profile by default. Configure `Security.Profiles` in `appsettings.json` to enable `Basic256Sha256-Sign` or `Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt` for transport security. See [Security Guide](docs/security.md).

## Client Stack
The client stack is cross-platform (.NET 10) and consists of three projects sharing a common `IOpcUaClientService` abstraction. No AVEVA software or COM is required — the clients connect to any OPC UA server.
### Client Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- No platform-specific dependencies (runs on Windows, macOS, Linux)
### Build All Clients
```bash
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.Shared
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI
```
### Run Client Tests
```bash
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.Shared.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.CLI.Tests
dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI.Tests

### Run tests
### Client UI
```bash
dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.slnx
dotnet run --project src/ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.Client.UI
```
The desktop application provides browse tree, subscriptions, alarm monitoring, history reads, and write dialogs. See [Client UI Documentation](docs/Client.UI.md) for details.
