Array nodes were forced read-only for every driver. A new single authority,
Core.Abstractions DriverArrayWriteSupport, says which (driver, element type)
pairs encode a whole-array write: Modbus (Coils / numeric HoldingRegisters),
S7 (Byte/Int16/UInt16/Int32/UInt32/Float32), OpcUaClient (pass-through) and
Galaxy (Boolean/Int32/Int64/Float/Double/String/DateTime). Everything else
stays read-only, so the server never advertises a write the driver refuses.
- Composer derives RawTagPlan.ArrayWritable + UnsReferenceVariable
.BackingArrayWritable at compose time (both seams, byte-parity); the
applier's one writability rule is Writable && (!IsArray || ArrayWritable)
for materialise and surgical paths, raw and UNS alike.
- ArrayWritable is on the classifier's surgical raw-tag whitelist and
mirrored on the UNS record (UnsReferenceBackingParityTests updated).
- Node manager refuses a wrong-length / non-array value on an array node
(BadTypeMismatch) and any IndexRange write (BadWriteNotSupported) inline,
before dispatch; WriteOperate/ACL gates and the revert are unchanged.
- Per-driver parity tests pin the table against the real Modbus write path,
S7 EncodeArrayBlock and Galaxy MxValueEncoder (UInt32/UInt64 excluded:
array covariance reinterprets their bits).
- Over-the-wire proof in OpcUaServer.IntegrationTests (ArrayWriteWireTests).
- ValueRank > 1 documented as out of scope by decision (docs/Uns.md).

- Native-condition Acknowledge on a non-Primary node returns BadInvalidState (nothing
routed/applied/reported) via NativeAlarmAckPrimaryGate, fed from
IDriverPrimaryRoleSource by OtOpcUaServerHostedService.
- A re-ack carrying a comment reports one comment event (Acked/Confirmed unchanged).
- TimedShelve applies its requested duration and the scripted projection carries
UnshelveAtUtc, so ShelvingState/UnshelveTime counts down instead of ~24.8 days.
- Native re-ack still routed to the driver (deliberate: documented retry path), pinned.
- AdminUI /alerts client ack/shelve path test; docs/AlarmTracking.md decisions incl.

ClusterRoleInfo resolved the leader address through Cluster.State.Members, which is
published asynchronously; a miss stored null permanently, so RoleLeader(role) stayed null
(flaky test timed out under load: 6/10 failing with CPU contention, 0/20 after). Only the
address is ever read, so store it directly. Adds a deterministic unit test (fails without
the fix) and InternalsVisibleTo for the Cluster.Tests project.

options.Roles is unconditionally overwritten by AddOtOpcUaCluster's PostConfigure to equal
EffectiveRoles.Gossiped (T2's own structural-identity fix), so comparing options.Roles against
Gossiped could never observe a divergence — an overlay setting Cluster:Roles was silently
ignored, not fail-start. The validator now injects IConfiguration and re-reads the raw
Cluster:Roles section LIVE (reflecting any overlay applied after EffectiveRoles was first
resolved), normalized through EffectiveRoles.Resolve for reuse of its own validation.
AddOtOpcUaCluster now TryAddSingleton(configuration) so a bare ServiceCollection test harness
(not just WebApplicationBuilder) can supply IConfiguration to the validator.
Both guard tests rewritten to go through the real AddOtOpcUaCluster + PostConfigure pipeline
over a live ConfigurationManager, simulating an overlay as a second provider added AFTER
EffectiveRoles was resolved off the same object — exactly Program.cs's own sequencing. Confirmed
red beforehand: the "changes" test failed to throw against the pre-fix validator.
With Security:Acl:Enabled=true, a session holding any grant narrower than
Cluster could not browse the served address space at all — confirmed by the
live gate.
Mechanism. Both realm trees hang under ONE anchor folder minted in
CreateAddressSpace: NodeId("OtOpcUa", <raw ns>). ResolveParentFolder parents
every top-level raw folder AND every top-level UNS area under it, and the
Browse override throws BadUserAccessDenied for the WHOLE call when its source
node is denied. DataPlaneAuthorizer.BuildScope split that identifier like a
path, producing {Kind: Raw, Segments: ["OtOpcUa"]} — but trie grant paths are
["raw", <RawPath segments…>] and "OtOpcUa" is never a path segment, so
PermissionTrie.HasBrowseTransit failed at the realm-child lookup and
CollectMatches yielded only Cluster-scoped grants. Deny, at the front door.
The trie already handled a zero-segment scope as "the realm root, itself an
ancestor of everything granted in that realm" (PermissionTrie.cs:101-118) —
no production path had ever produced that scope. This wires it up.
- V3NodeIds.SharedRootFolderId names the anchor identity; CreateAddressSpace
now mints the NodeId/BrowseName/DisplayName from it (behaviour-identical,
makes the coupling explicit).
- BuildScope maps that identifier (realm-qualified to Raw — in the UNS
namespace s=OtOpcUa is an ordinary Area) onto the zero-segment Raw scope.
- Evaluate adds a second-realm OR-leg for Browse on the anchor only: it fronts
both trees, so a principal whose only Browse grant lives in the UNS tree
still enters through this raw node. Browse only; transit confers navigation,
never read/write/subscribe.
- No trie, evaluator or builder change. No reordering above the decision cache
— key revocation is still re-checked before the lookup — and the cache key
is unchanged (the combined verdict caches under the anchor's own
identifier/realm; a generation advance clears it).
Falsifications actually run (implement-then-revert-the-line, plus one
genuine red-first):
- DataPlaneAuthorizerTests: the 7 new facts were written BEFORE the fix and 4
went red (the 3 deny-only ones passed vacuously, as a deny-only test must).
- Deleting the UNS OR-leg reddens exactly one fact,
The_shared_root_folder_is_browsable_on_a_uns_only_browse_grant (26/27 pass).
- Dropping the realm qualification from IsSharedRootFolder reddens exactly
A_uns_area_named_like_the_anchor_gets_no_anchor_semantics. Its first draft
did NOT catch this — a raw-only grant is refused either way; the
discriminating grant had to be an unrelated UNS one, whose own transit marks
the zero-segment UNS scope the un-qualified mapping would land on.
- Disabling the BuildScope anchor branch reddens the new end-to-end fact
NodeManagerStage6EnforcementTests.The_shared_root_folder_is_browsable_on_a_narrow_grant_and_still_filters
(real booted server, real Browse dispatch: BadUserAccessDenied on the whole
call), which also pins that the reference filter still withholds the
non-granted sibling.
- Core PermissionTrieBrowseTransitTests gains 3 characterization facts pinning
the previously-dead realm-root branch (transit true for the granting realm's
root, false for the other realm's, false without the Browse bit). These were
green on arrival — the trie was always correct; nothing called it.
Tests: Core 351 -> 354 passed; OpcUaServer 482 -> 490 passed. Build clean.

IMPORTANT - the leak filter had its own flake vector. This test saturates the
thread pool by design, and TimedScriptEvaluator starts its 5s clock at WaitAsync
rather than when the inner Task.Run gets a thread, so a legitimately-enqueued
evaluation can blow the budget while still queued and surface "script timed out
after 5.0s". The reason != exhaustion filter classified that as a raw disposed
escape and hard-failed on it - handing the test back the load-fragility the
reshape removed. Timeouts are now their own bucket, tolerated and rate-bounded
exactly as exhaustions are; a raw disposed escape still fails on first occurrence.
Doc-comment names this second residual vector alongside the exhaustion calibration.
MINOR (scope extension authorised by review) - "evaluator disposed during
evaluation" existed as three unshared literals. Promoted to
ScriptEvalFailureReasons alongside VirtualTagEvalResult in Commons.Engines (the
assembly all three already reference) and referenced from both evaluators and the
test. The timeout prefix joins it, since the test now classifies on it too. String
values are byte-identical - no behaviour change.
Falsified: with a 12ms script budget the race produced real timeouts (3/2695).
Classified as leaks (the pre-review filter) they hard-failed the test 6/6 items;
bucketed as starvation they sit 0.11% under the 10% bound and the test is green.
TagConfigJson.ClassifyEnumText classified via Enum.TryParse(text, ignoreCase: true),
which accepts a numeric STRING for any enum: "1" returns the member at that ordinal
and an out-of-range "99" parses just as happily. Every driver contract's strict enum
read inherits that, so a Sql tag authored "type":"99" was ACCEPTED, carried
(DriverDataType)99, and SqlPollReader.TryCoerce fell through its switch to the String
arm — a stringified cell published Good under a type nothing can map.
Refuse a digit- or sign-leading spelling before the parse (judged on the TRIMMED text,
because Enum.TryParse trims), and require Enum.IsDefined — which covers what the
leading-character check cannot, since TryParse also ORs a comma-separated list for a
non-[Flags] enum. Mirrors RawBrowseCommitMapper.ParseNativeType and
MTConnectTagDefinitionFactory.TryParseDataType, which already guard their own parses.
Three AdminUI restatements of the same rule now ask ClassifyEnumText instead of
Enum.TryParse (TagConfigJson.GetEnum, SqlTagConfigModel.ReadEnumStrict,
MqttTagConfigModel.DescribeInvalidEnum/GetEnumNullable) — leaving them would have opened
the #549 direction the moment the runtime tightened: a blob the modal accepts and the
driver skips.
RED first: 10 failing in Core.Abstractions.Tests, 4 in Driver.Sql.Tests, and 10 of the
11 new fleet-wide parity cases (re-confirmed by reverting the Core fix).
MTConnectTagConfigModel read `dataType` with TagConfigJson.GetEnum, which falls
back to String on ANY unrecognised value. A misspelled name ("Strng") from a
hand-authored blob, a CSV import or the API was therefore accepted at authoring
and silently rewritten, while the driver's strict parse rejected it and the tag
died with BadNodeIdUnknown. Found by the G-7 parity tests' falsifiability
control, which had to use the digits-only shape to have a case that failed.
The rule is not restated in the AdminUI. MTConnectTagDefinitionFactory exposes
its parse as `IsAcceptedDataTypeName`, documented as the one authority the
driver, the deploy gate and the authoring model all consult; the model's
Validate() asks it about the raw value the blob carries. The old digits-only
message is NOT retained as a special case: the runtime draws no distinction
between a bare number and a typo — one predicate, one Inspect warning — so a
second message here would be a second statement of a rule this model does not
own. The raw value is captured as the JSON TOKEN, because the runtime
deserialises the key into a `string?` DTO field and an unquoted number throws
there too.
The survey found the same asymmetry at six more editors, contrary to the
assumption that those runtimes silently default: R2-11 Phase C moved every
driver's TagConfig enum read to TagConfigJson.TryReadEnumStrict, which REJECTS
the tag on a present-but-invalid string, while the editors kept loading them
with a silent fallback. Modbus (region/dataType/byteOrder), S7, AbCip, AbLegacy,
TwinCAT and FOCAS now check their enums in Validate() through the runtime's own
TagConfigJson.DescribeInvalidEnumText — added alongside a public
ClassifyEnumText that TryReadEnum now delegates to, so the JSON-token door and
the string door reach one implementation. Mqtt and Sql already carried
equivalent strict checks and are untouched.
Care taken NOT to become stricter than the runtime: a present-but-non-string
token stays accepted for those six (TryReadEnum calls it absent), as does an
absent key, each pinned by a test.
Also adds a direct ProjectReference to Core.Abstractions from the AdminUI — the
save gate now leans on a type it was consuming only transitively.
The connect path was the one capability call the resilience pipeline never
saw, so a driver that could not connect contributed zero breaker input and
the /hosts resilience panel read 'All targets healthy' against a dead
endpoint. InitializeAsync now routes through the invoker as
DriverCapability.Initialize, keyed on the driver-instance id.
- No pipeline retry: the actor's RetryConnect timer is the retry loop
(parser forces retryCount overrides to 0, same funnel as write-shaped).
- Breaker threshold 2, not the Read-sized 5: the breaker samples 30 s and
the reconnect timer fires every 10 s, so at most three attempts fit one
window — threshold 5 could never open. Pinned by its own test.
- An open breaker fast-fails into the same InitializeFailed path as a real
connect failure; the 15 s break window costs at most one extra tick.
The best-effort teardown ShutdownAsync stays unwrapped.
- Companion fix: DriverCapabilityInvokerFactory.Create now invalidates the
instance's tracker snapshots with its pipelines — a respawn during an
outage discarded the only breaker whose OnClosed could clear the OPEN
flag, stranding a false 'Breaker OPEN' chip forever.
Live gate PASSED on docker-dev (image symbol-verified per container):
rtu-gate against dead 10.100.0.35:5021 opened its Initialize breaker on
both centrals with the red 'BREAKER OPEN' chip on /hosts; a socat
5021→5020 forwarder recovered it (both breakers closed within 1 s, panel
back to 'All targets healthy'); healthy MAIN-modbus recorded zero breaker
events. Full suite 50/50 green. Evidence:
docs/plans/2026-08-07-adminui-followups-and-live-gates.md §7.
#542 filed FleetStatusBroadcaster as blind to site nodes since the Phase 6 per-cluster mesh
split: it derives "the fleet" from central's own Akka gossip ring, which after the split is
just central's own pair. Scoping the cross-mesh rewrite found the deeper truth — the whole
chain is dead end to end, so this deletes it rather than reviving it.
- Zero consumers. FleetStatusBroadcaster published FleetStatusChanged on the DPS
"fleet-status" topic; FleetStatusSignalRBridge forwarded it to FleetStatusHub
("/hubs/fleet-status"); nothing anywhere connected. The AdminUI bans self-connecting
HubConnections, no browser JS subscribes, and /fleet (Fleet.razor) reads
NodeDeploymentState from the ConfigDb plus IClusterRoleInfo on a 5 s poll instead.
- Its second input never existed. DriverHostStatusHeartbeat had no production sender —
only the broadcaster's own test told it — so CurrentRevision was always null and the
30 s staleness -> Degraded flip could never fire.
- Post-Phase-6 DPS is pair-local, so even the central-only view it did produce was an
accident of topology rather than a design.
The fleet visibility that actually works is unchanged and already cross-mesh-correct:
/fleet over NodeDeploymentState, and the four Phase 5 per-node telemetry dials.
Precedent for deleting inert machinery rather than activating it: #522 (driver stability
tiers), #507 (discovered-node injection), #525 (GetMemoryFootprint).
Deleted: FleetStatusBroadcaster (+ its nested DriverHostStatusHeartbeat), its admin
singleton registration and FleetStatusBroadcasterKey, FleetStatusSignalRBridge and its
key, FleetStatusHub and its route mapping, and the FleetStatusChanged / FleetNodeStatus /
FleetNodeHealth messages. Both Fleet/ directories survive — ControlPlane keeps
ClusterNodeAddressReconciler, Commons keeps GetDiagnostics. Docs swept where they claimed
a fleet-status channel exists (Telemetry.md's Phase 5 non-migrated channels,
Configuration.md, CLAUDE.md); completed-program plan docs under docs/plans and docs/v2 are
left as the historical record they are.
Build 0 errors, 868 warnings — byte-identical to master's rebuild baseline.
ControlPlane.Tests 231/231, AdminUI.Tests 1109/1109.
