QuestDB modified-history reads dropped every still-pending trail row that was
not the latest at its source time, so V0->V1 (applied marker never written)
followed by V1->V2 hid the V0->V1 change for good. A pending row below the
latest is now served when the NEXT trail row at that time recorded a different
prior value (kind, value, status or the prior's server_ts) - the next change saw
what this one wrote; an orphan of a change that never landed leaves the same
prior for the next row and stays hidden. QuestDB window functions reject
VARCHAR, so the next row's prior comes from a LEFT JOIN on (ts, lead(id)).
The updater's comment and marker-failure log no longer claim modified reads
"still serve it" unconditionally.
Regression tests (QuestDB 10.0.1 throwaway container): marker lost then a
replace / delete at the same time; an orphan followed by a marker-lost retry
then a later change (orphan still dropped); the random marker-mix fuzz now
varies the recorded priors. All four fail on the old filter.
NITs:
- SqlServerHistorianValueWriter: a SqlException raised while the token is
cancelled (SqlClient's "Operation cancelled by user") is rethrown as
OperationCanceledException instead of booked as a failed write. Integration
test holds a TABLOCKX on Sample and cancels mid-INSERT; it returned false before.
- SqlServerHistorianDataUpdater.DeleteRawBatches is an Interlocked counter.
- HistoryReadEvents: an event filter whose SDK validation throws (unknown
operator) failed with the generic BadUnexpectedError; the node manager now
re-throws any failed event-filter validation as BadEventFilterInvalid.

HistoryReadEvents projected only EventId / SourceName / Time / ReceiveTime /
Message / Severity: a select clause asking for EventType, ConditionName or
SourceNode (what most generic alarm viewers ask for) got nulls, and the
event filter's where-clause (an OfType) was ignored.
- HistoricalEvent gains optional EventTypeName, ConditionName and AlarmId.
SqlServer, QuestDB and Gateway event reads fill them from what their
alarm writers already store (AlarmTypeName / AlarmName / AlarmId; the
gateway event Type and its AlarmName / AlarmId properties).
- The node manager maps the type name to its Part 9 event type (unknown or
non-event => AlarmConditionType), projects ConditionName, and resolves
SourceNode to the materialised condition the alarm id names (the live
events' SourceNode), else null.
- The where-clause is evaluated per event with the SDK content filter
through an IFilterTarget (OfType via the type tree; other operators
against the projected fields), after the page's cursor is taken, so
paging is unchanged.
Tested in the node manager, over a real client session (the Client.CLI has
no `historyread --events` mode yet; filed as a follow-up), and by alarm
writer -> event read round trips on SqlServer and QuestDB.
Rebased from the unpushed remed/lane-H2 branch (originally authored 2026-10-22
