#835: inside one driver namespace, a secret:<ns>/<X>/... reference whose first
segment names ANOTHER existing same-type driver instance (id or name,
case-insensitive; another-instance match beats an own-name match, so renaming
one's driver after a victim's unlocks nothing) is refused at save
(DriverConfigSaveGate.ValidateAsync), deploy (CredentialReferenceOtherInstance,
Heidenhain included), Test Connect (TestDriverConnect.DriverInstanceId, ConfigDb
read off the mailbox) and live browse (BrowserSessionService, fail-closed without
a ConfigDb). One rule: DriverCredentialPolicy.DescribeOtherInstanceProblems +
DriverInstanceIdentities. Shared names and the driver's own id stay valid; env:
is not instance-scoped. Running drivers are unchanged (warn-only window: the
deploy gate and the upgrade preflight / /raw banner list them).
#836: OpcUaClient UserCertificatePath is a relative path inside
Drivers:OpcUaClient:UserCertificateDirectory (default
<LocalAppData>/OtOpcUa/pki/user-certificates). Syntactic rule (CredentialFilePaths,
a DriverCredentialPolicy path field) at every #815 seam; at load time
ResolveSecretRefsAsync joins, canonicalises and requires lexical AND
link-resolved containment before the PFX password is resolved, and
LoadCertificate refuses an unresolved path. A running driver's pre-#836 absolute
path keeps loading with a rate-limited warning (LegacyCredentialReferenceTracker.ReportPath).

A Designer could point a Galaxy / OpcUaClient endpoint at a host they control,
set a credential field to any reference the node can resolve
(env:ConnectionStrings__ConfigDb, env:ServerHistorian__ApiKey, secret:<any>,
Galaxy file:<any path>) and click Test Connect / live browse; the node resolved
the value and sent it to that host.
One shared rule in Core.Abstractions (CredentialReferences +
DriverCredentialPolicy) generalises the #803 Heidenhain namespace:
- Galaxy: secret:galaxy/... | secret:otopcua/galaxy/... | env:OTOPCUA_GALAXY_... |
legacy env:GALAXY_MXGW_...; file: refused; dev:/literal API key unchanged.
- OpcUaClient: secret:opcuaclient/... | env:OTOPCUA_OPCUACLIENT_...; literals unchanged.
- Heidenhain adopts the shared parser/resolver (namespace unchanged).
Enforced at the AdminUI save path (DriverConfigSaveGate), the deploy gate
(CredentialReferenceDeployChecks, code CredentialReferenceOutOfScope), Test
Connect (AdminOperationsActor, before any probe), live browse
(BrowserSessionService, before any browser) and again at resolve time in every
driver/browser (fail closed, before any store/env read).
