Task #222 partial — unblock AB Legacy PCCC via cip-path workaround (5/5 stages)
Replaced the "ab_server PCCC upstream-broken" skip gate with the actual
root cause: libplctag's ab_server rejects empty CIP routing paths at the
unconnected-send layer before the PCCC dispatcher runs. Real SLC/
MicroLogix/PLC-5 hardware accepts empty paths (no backplane); ab_server
does not. With `/1,0` in place, N (Int16), F (Float32), and L (Int32)
file reads + writes round-trip cleanly across all three compose profiles.
## Fixture changes
- `AbLegacyServerFixture.cs`:
- Drop `AB_LEGACY_TRUST_WIRE` env var + the reachable-but-untrusted
skip branch. Fixture now only skips on TCP unreachability.
- Add `AB_LEGACY_CIP_PATH` env var (default `1,0`) + expose `CipPath`
property. Set `AB_LEGACY_CIP_PATH=` (empty) against real hardware.
- Shorter skip messages on the `[AbLegacyFact]` / `[AbLegacyTheory]`
attributes — one reason: endpoint not reachable.
- `AbLegacyReadSmokeTests.cs`:
- Device URI built from `sim.CipPath` instead of hardcoded empty path.
- New `AB_LEGACY_COMPOSE_PROFILE` env var filters the parametric
theory to the running container's family. Only one container binds
`:44818` at a time, so cross-family params would otherwise fail.
- `Slc500_write_then_read_round_trip` skips cleanly when the running
profile isn't `slc500`.
## E2E + seed + docs
- `scripts/e2e/test-ablegacy.ps1` — drop the `AB_LEGACY_TRUST_WIRE`
skip gate; synopsis calls out the `/1,0` vs empty cip-path split
between the Docker fixture and real hardware.
- `scripts/e2e/e2e-config.sample.json` — sample gateway flipped from
the hardware placeholder (`192.168.1.10`) to the Docker fixture
(`127.0.0.1/1,0`); comment rewritten.
- `scripts/e2e/README.md` — AB Legacy expected-matrix row goes from
SKIP to PASS.
- `scripts/smoke/seed-ablegacy-smoke.sql` — default HostAddress points
at the Docker fixture + header / footer text reflect the new state.
- `tests/.../Docker/README.md` — "Known limitations" section rewritten
to describe the cip-path gate (not a dispatcher gap); env-var table
picks up `AB_LEGACY_CIP_PATH` + `AB_LEGACY_COMPOSE_PROFILE`.
- `docs/drivers/AbLegacy-Test-Fixture.md` + `docs/drivers/README.md`
+ `docs/DriverClis.md` — flip status from blocked to functional;
residual bit-file-write gap (B3:0/5 → 0x803D0000) documented.
## Residual gap
Bit-file writes (`B3:0/5` style) surface `0x803D0000` against
`ab_server --plc=SLC500`; bit reads work. Non-blocking for smoke
coverage — N/F/L round-trip is enough. Real hardware / RSEmulate 500
for bit-write fidelity. Documented in `Docker/README.md` §"Known
limitations" + the `AbLegacy-Test-Fixture.md` follow-ups list.
## Verified
- Full-solution build: 0 errors, 334 pre-existing warnings.
- Integration suite passes per-profile with
`AB_LEGACY_COMPOSE_PROFILE=<slc500|micrologix|plc5>` + matching
compose container up.
- All four non-hardware e2e scripts (Modbus / AB CIP / AB Legacy / S7)
now 5/5 against the respective docker-compose fixtures.

## Known gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **AB Legacy PCCC wire-level** against the ab_server Docker simulator is
|
||||
upstream-broken — see the "Known limitations" section in
|
||||
[Driver.AbLegacy.Cli.md](Driver.AbLegacy.Cli.md). Pointing the CLI at
|
||||
real SLC / MicroLogix / PLC-5 hardware or a RSEmulate 500 golden-box
|
||||
works as expected.
|
||||
- **AB Legacy cip-path quirk** — libplctag's ab_server requires a
|
||||
non-empty CIP routing path before forwarding to the PCCC dispatcher.
|
||||
Pass `--gateway "ab://127.0.0.1:44818/1,0"` against the Docker
|
||||
fixture; real SLC / MicroLogix / PLC-5 hardware accepts an empty
|
||||
path (`ab://host:44818/`). Bit-file writes (`B3:0/5`) still surface
|
||||
`0x803D0000` against ab_server — route operator-critical bit writes
|
||||
to real hardware until upstream fixes this.
|
||||
- **S7 PUT/GET communication** must be enabled in TIA Portal for any
|
||||
S7-1200/1500. See [Driver.S7.Cli.md](Driver.S7.Cli.md).
|
||||
- **TwinCAT AMS router** must be reachable (local XAR, standalone Router
