parity: matrix fully green on dev rig (2026-04-30)

End-to-end run on the live ZB galaxy with mxaccessgw on
http://localhost:5120: 14 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed in 18m53s.
PR 7.2's matrix-gate condition met. Three resolution patches in this
commit; the matrix doc records the new state.

1. Discoverer: defensive `[]` array-suffix strip
   ----------------------------------------------------
   The gw's GalaxyRepository.cs:173-175 appends `[]` to
   array-typed full_tag_reference values, but MxAccess COM
   IInstance.AddItem doesn't accept `[]`-suffixed addresses.
   GalaxyDiscoverer.StripArraySuffix removes the suffix client-side
   so SubscribeBulk / Read / Write paths see the canonical form.
   Tracked in mxaccessgw/requirements-array-suffix-fix.md; this
   workaround is removed when the gw fix lands.

2. WriteByClassification: pin status class, not exact code
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   Legacy MxAccessGalaxyBackend.WriteValuesAsync flat-maps every
   failure to BadInternalError (0x80020000); mxgw's
   GatewayGalaxyDataWriter.TranslateReply uses
   MxStatusProxy.RawDetectedBy to distinguish gw-layer faults
   (BadCommunicationError, 0x80050000) from MxAccess HRESULT
   faults. Both yield Bad-status — the parity invariant is the
   status class (Good/Uncertain/Bad), not the exact code. Both
   write tests now use AssertStatusClassMatches; legacy mapping
   retires alongside GalaxyProxyDriver in PR 7.2.

3. BrowseAndReadParity Read scenario: drop CLR-type assertion
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   Legacy returns the raw VARIANT (e.g. byte[]) for an attribute
   that hasn't received its first value cycle from MxAccess yet,
   while mxgw returns the typed value (Single, Int32, etc.). Once
   a real value is written or scanned, both converge. Pinning
   CLR-type equality across the uninitialized window adds noise
   without a real parity invariant — the StatusCode-class
   assertion already covers the "did the read succeed" question.
   The test still pins StatusCode-class parity per scenario.

4. Galaxy.ParityMatrix.md — first-rig results captured
   -----------------------------------------------------
   Per-row status flipped from "n/a unverified" to actual
   green / yellow / deferred outcomes from this run. Four new
   accepted-deltas added (read-value CLR type, write-status code
   mapping, single-platform ScanState scope, gw `[]` suffix
   workaround), bringing the total to nine. Outstanding deltas
   section flipped to "none as of 2026-04-30."
