Polling chosen over event-driven for initial scope: simpler, matches Admin UI consumer cadence, avoids DriverHost lifecycle-event plumbing that doesn't exist today. Event-driven push for sub-heartbeat latency is a straightforward follow-up.
Admin.Services.HostStatusService left-joins DriverHostStatus against ClusterNode on NodeId so rows persist even when the ClusterNode entry doesn't exist yet (first-boot bootstrap case). StaleThreshold = 30s — covers one missed publisher heartbeat plus a generous buffer for clock skew and GC pauses. Admin Components/Pages/Hosts.razor — FleetAdmin-visible page grouped by cluster (handles the '(unassigned)' case for rows without a matching ClusterNode). Four summary cards (Hosts / Running / Stale / Faulted); per-cluster table with Node / Driver / Host / State + Stale-badge / Last-transition / Last-seen / Detail columns; 10s auto-refresh via IServiceScopeFactory timer pattern matching FleetStatusPoller + Fleet dashboard (PR 27). Row-class highlighting: Faulted → table-danger, Stale → table-warning, else default. State badge maps DriverHostState enum to bootstrap color classes. Sidebar link added between 'Fleet status' and 'Clusters'.
Server csproj adds Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer 10.0.0 + registers OtOpcUaConfigDbContext in Program.cs scoped via NodeOptions.ConfigDbConnectionString (no Admin-style manual SQL raw — the DbContext is the only access path, keeps migrations owner-of-record).
Tests — HostStatusPublisherTests (4 new Integration cases, uses per-run throwaway DB matching the FleetStatusPollerTests pattern): publisher upserts one row per host from each probe-capable driver and skips non-probe drivers; second tick advances LastSeenUtc without creating duplicate rows (upsert pattern verified end-to-end); state change between ticks updates State AND StateChangedUtc (datetime2(3) rounds to millisecond precision so comparison uses 1ms tolerance — documented inline); MapState translates every HostState enum member. Server.Tests Integration: 4 new tests pass. Admin build clean, Admin.Tests Unit still 23 / 0. docs/v2/lmx-followups.md item #7 marked DONE with three explicit deferred items (event-driven push, failure-count column, SignalR fan-out).

No production code changes — pure additive test. Server.Tests Integration: 3 new tests pass; existing OpcUaServerIntegrationTests stays green (single-driver case still exercised there). Full Server.Tests Unit still 43 / 0. Deferred: multi-driver alarm-event case (two drivers each raising a GalaxyAlarmEvent, assert each condition lands on its owning instance's condition node) — needs a stub IAlarmSource and is worth its own focused PR.

Active Directory compatibility. LdapOptions xml-doc expanded with a cheat-sheet covering Server (DC FQDN), Port 389 vs 636, UseTls=true under AD LDAP-signing enforcement, dedicated read-only service account DN, sAMAccountName vs userPrincipalName vs cn trade-offs, memberOf DN shape (CN=Group,OU=...,DC=... with the CN= RDN stripped to become the GroupToRole key), and the explicit 'nested groups NOT expanded' call-out (LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN / tokenGroups is a future authenticator enhancement, not a config change). docs/security.md §'Active Directory configuration' adds a complete appsettings.json snippet with realistic AD group names (OPCUA-Operators → WriteOperate, OPCUA-Engineers → WriteConfigure, OPCUA-AlarmAck → AlarmAck, OPCUA-Tuners → WriteTune), LDAPS port 636, TLS on, insecure-LDAP off, and operator-facing notes on each field. LdapUserAuthenticatorAdCompatTests (5 unit guards): ExtractFirstRdnValue parses AD-style 'CN=OPCUA-Operators,OU=...,DC=...' DNs correctly (case-preserving — operators' GroupToRole keys stay readable); also handles mixed case and spaces in group names ('Domain Users'); also works against the OpenLDAP ou=<group>,ou=groups shape (GLAuth) so one extractor tolerates both memberOf formats common in the field; EscapeLdapFilter escapes the RFC 4515 injection set (\, *, (, ), \0) so a malicious login like 'admin)(cn=*' can't break out of the filter; default UserNameAttribute regression guard.
Test posture — Server.Tests Unit: 43 pass / 0 fail (38 prior + 5 new AD-compat guards). Server.Tests LiveLdap category: 6 pass / 0 fail against running GLAuth (would skip cleanly without). Server build clean, 0 errors, 0 warnings.
Deferred: the session-identity end-to-end check (drive a full OPC UA UserName session, then read a 'whoami' node to verify the role landed on RoleBasedIdentity). That needs a test-only address-space node and is scoped for a separate PR.
