AddOtOpcUaDriverFactories (the driver-node bootstrap) must bind the real
DriverCapabilityInvokerFactory — not the NullDriverCapabilityInvokerFactory
pass-through — and it must mint a real CapabilityInvoker per instance. This is the
deterministic DI half of the #10 live gate: a refactor dropping back to the
pass-through would make the whole retry/breaker/bulkhead pipeline inert in production
while every pass-through-defaulting unit test stays green. 3 tests (real factory bound,
real invoker minted, shared singletons), non-fixtured. Host.IntegrationTests.
The DriverInstance.ResilienceConfig column was authored in AdminUI, persisted to the
entity, and serialized into the deployment artifact by ConfigComposer — but the runtime
read path dropped it: DriverInstanceSpec didn't carry it and the invoker factory always
passed null, so every driver got tier defaults regardless of its configured overrides
(a silent dead-config gap — #10's residual sub-finding).
Read-path plumbing (write side was already complete):
- DriverInstanceSpec gains ResilienceConfig; DeploymentArtifact.TryReadSpec reads the column.
- IDriverCapabilityInvokerFactory.Create takes resilienceConfigJson; DriverHostActor.SpawnChild
threads spec.ResilienceConfig; the concrete factory parses it (ParseOrDefaults, layering on the
tier), logs any parse diagnostic (never throws), and builds the invoker with the merged options.
- Invalidate-on-change: the pipeline cache keys on (instance, host, capability) and ignores options
on a hit, so Create() now Invalidate()s the instance's cached pipelines first (no-op on first
spawn) — a respawn with changed options rebuilds them.
- DriverSpawnPlanner treats a ResilienceConfig change as a stop+respawn (the invoker/options are
bound to the child at spawn); a pure DriverConfig change stays an in-place delta (no reconnect).
- Host DI passes a logger to the factory for the parse diagnostic.
Verification (deterministic): factory Create applies a retryCount:0 override to actual execution
(control test proves tier default retries), invalidates the instance's cache on re-create (scoped —
sibling survives), malformed config logs+falls-back; planner respawns on ResilienceConfig change
(incl null→json) and stays delta on a pure config change; artifact parse carries/omits the column.
Core.Tests 243 (+5), Runtime.Tests 363 (+5), Host builds clean.
Akka.Cluster.Hosting's WithClustering enables an SBR downing provider by default
(applies SplitBrainResolverOption.Default when ClusterOptions.SplitBrainResolver is
null), which reads the pre-existing akka.conf keep-oldest block. So the cluster was
NOT running NoDowning before Critical 1 and hard-crash failover already worked — the
typed KeepOldestOption is reinforcing/explicit-in-code, not the sole activator.
Corrects the inaccurate 'HOCON inert / NoDowning / never fails over' framing in:
- ServiceCollectionExtensions.BuildClusterOptions XML comment
- akka.conf split-brain-resolver comment
- docs/Redundancy.md Split-brain section
- SplitBrainResolverActivationTests summary + assertion message (+ method rename)
No code revert (the typed option is correct belt-and-suspenders). Cluster.Tests 29/29.
Surfaced by the #9 hard-kill failover negative control.
The pass-through NullDriverCapabilityInvoker returns the call-site task directly, so it
never exercises the real invoker's internal `pipeline.ExecuteAsync(...).ConfigureAwait(false)`.
Adds a test-only Core reference to Runtime.Tests (the PRODUCTION Runtime assembly stays
Polly-free via the seam) and a discovery test that drives DriverInstanceActor through a real
CapabilityInvoker over a genuinely-yielding ITagDiscovery driver — proving the invoker's
internal ConfigureAwait(false) does NOT leak to the actor's own await, so the post-await
Context.Parent.Tell still runs (DiscoveredNodesReady arrives). Runtime.Tests 358, Core.Tests 238.
