1. The at-or-after bound read on a forward-only backend (Gateway) ends at
now + ReverseRawReader.LookAhead instead of DateTime.MaxValue (the gateway
only checks start <= end, so a year-9999 end reached AVEVA); a bound beyond
the horizon is not found without a read. SqlServer/QuestDB keep MaxValue:
they bind it safely and may hold samples further ahead. The Gateway fake now
refuses far-future ends, so the missing-end-bound test is no longer vacuous.
3. No data and no bound found (whole read empty) => GoodNoData, no values —
the pre-bounds answer (6.5.3.2: success only if one or both bounds exist).
A one-value page whose start bound is missing first checks there is data or
a found end bound.
4. ServerHistorian:HonorReturnBounds (default true); false ignores ReturnBounds
as before #691, including the modified-read Bad_InvalidArgument.
- HistoryUpdate Primary gate now reads IHistoryUpdateRoleView (PrimaryGatePolicy.ShouldServeHistoryUpdate):
the data-plane verdict but CLOSED until this node's first redundancy snapshot, so both pair nodes cannot
accept in the pre-join boot window. Single nodes open on their own singleton's first snapshot; admin-only
nodes register no view => no gate. DriverHostActor publishes it at every Primary-verdict publish point.
- SqlServer v1: the updater throws NotSupportedException on every arm; the node manager maps it to a
node-level BadHistoryOperationUnsupported (was per-item under a Good node for UpdateData/DeleteAtTime).
HistoryWrite bit still advertised on v1 (not knowable at materialise time) — documented.
- The update plan is evaluated before the Primary gate: an unservable request (Remove, IsDeleteModified,
not historized, no updater) is BadHistoryOperationUnsupported off-Primary, not BadInvalidState.
- Local-kind SourceTimestamp converted to UTC before the future-skew compare and sent as UTC.
- Hosted-service wiring extracted to BuildHistoryUpdatePosture and tested (gate source, skew, clock).
