Two independent defects surfaced in review of #520 stage 3.
#532 — Cluster:Roles had no OTOPCUA_ROLES fallback, despite two doc sites
promising one. A node configured only through the env var — which drives ALL of
Program.cs's conditional wiring, so it reads as the authoritative knob — bound an
empty Roles array and joined the cluster carrying no Akka roles at all. It ran,
served, and logged nothing wrong, while central reported "no driver-role nodes
are Up" and every deployment to it timed out. Not hypothetical: the field fix on
wonder-app-vd03 was to hand-add Cluster__Roles__0/1 to a Windows service's
registry environment. Anyone reading the code to diagnose that box would have
concluded from the XML doc that the fallback was already applied.
AddOtOpcUaCluster now post-configures AkkaClusterOptions through the shared
RoleParser.ResolveEffectiveRoles, so BuildClusterOptions (Akka's own member
roles), ClusterRoleInfo, the ControlPlane singleton scope and
ConfigDbApiKeyStore's ClusterId all see one answer. Two sibling validators
(ConfigSource, Telemetry) read Cluster:Roles directly and were exempting the
exact node they exist for — an env-only driver-only node has no ConfigDb and
could sit on ConfigSource:Mode=Direct unchallenged. They resolve the same way now.
Also collapsed the four open-coded `Roles.FirstOrDefault(IsClusterRole)` +
ClusterIdFromRole copies into RoleParser.ClusterIdFromRoles. They had drifted:
three classified the cluster role ordinally, so a verbatim-bound `Cluster-SITE-A`
yielded a null ClusterId — and a null ClusterId applies NO cluster filter, which
made #528's cross-cluster over-grant guard fail OPEN. IsClusterRole is now
case-insensitive; the ClusterId suffix keeps its authored spelling, because
normalizing it would silently rename the Akka role of a running deployment.
#533 — three string-identity rules in one authorization path. AclScopeRef used
default (ordinal) equality while the trie builder filtered ClusterId and hashed
principals OrdinalIgnoreCase; the deploy gate's cross-cluster check was ordinal
too, which was the worse half — it could reject a whole deploy over a ClusterId
case difference the runtime would have accepted. It only worked because resolver
and builder were handed the same NodeAcl instances.
The rule is now stated once, on AclScopeRef, and applied throughout:
identifiers (ScopeId, ClusterId, Principal) compare OrdinalIgnoreCase; path
segments compare Ordinal. AclScopePathResolver re-keys its own maps rather than
documenting a comparer contract for callers, so the two independent producers —
EF at the gate, artifact JSON on the node — cannot diverge from the outside.
PermissionTrieNode.Children stays Ordinal: those are browse names, and Speed /
speed are two nodes that can coexist under one device.
Split PermissionTrieBuildDiagnosticReason.RetiredScopeKind out of
UnresolvedScope. A legacy FolderSegment row and a typo'd id had the same message
and different remedies.
Falsified: five mutations, each reddening only its own guard — remove the
PostConfigure (3 tests), revert IsClusterRole to ordinal (3), revert AclScopeRef
equality (1), revert the resolver's map comparer (6), revert the gate's
comparisons (2), remove the FolderSegment short-circuit (1).
Test isolation: OTOPCUA_ROLES is process-global and xUnit runs classes in
parallel, so the three validator suites that now resolve effective roles share a
non-parallel collection. Without it, cases passing no roles would intermittently
observe another class's env var.
Full solution build clean; full suite green apart from two pre-existing failures
confirmed identical on 3a6b2a1d (PrimaryGateFailoverTests, and
DriverProbeRegistrationTests expecting 10 probe types where 12 now register)
plus the AbLegacy integration suite, which needs a docker fixture.

First real FOCAS hardware contact (Makino Pro 5 / 31i-B @ 10.201.31.5). A full
v3 data-PDU capture corrected the initial diagnosis: the v3 block envelope is
identical to v1, so only specific payload structs / request math / one client
robustness gap were wrong — not "framing rewrites".
Fixes (all re-validated live through the fixed driver):
- version gate: accept inbound PDU {1,3}, keep emitting v1 (FocasWireProtocol).
- cnc_rdtimer: 8-byte {minute,msec} payload is little-endian (ParseTimer) — the
only decode with an in-range msec field.
- pmc_rdpmcrng: request range widened to the data-type byte width
(end = start + width - 1) so a Word/Long isn't truncated to 0 values
(was spurious BadOutOfRange); decode extracted to ParsePmcRange.
- cnc_rdsvmeter: per-axis LOADELM is 8 bytes (not 12) and names come from the
0x0089 block — ParseServoMeters fixes the misaligned 655360 garbage. Also the
"hang" was NetworkStream.ReadAsync not aborting a stalled socket: ReadExactlyAsync
now disposes the stream on cancellation so a stalled peer can't wedge a poll loop.
- cnc_rddynamic2: contract guard rejecting axis < 1 (driver poll already 1-based).
- FocasDriverProbe: run a real wire session (initiate + cnc_statinfo) instead of
degrading to Ok=true "TCP reachability only" when FWLIB is absent — a bare TCP
listener no longer reports HEALTHY.
cnc_rdparam (0x000e) is unsupported on this control — EW_FUNC across 14
request-framing variants x 4 known-present params; needs a reference FWLIB trace
or is restricted. Deferred (deployed config uses macros, not parameters).
Tests: FOCAS suite 234 green (+16), full solution builds 0 errors. Raw v3
captures checked in under tests/.../Fixtures/v3/. Capture tools under scripts/focas/.
