env:<PREFIX><INSTANCE>_... is the per-instance convention for every prefix of a
driver's scope (OTOPCUA_GALAXY_, GALAXY_MXGW_, OTOPCUA_OPCUACLIENT_,
OTOPCUA_HEIDENHAIN_), INSTANCE = a driver id or name upper-cased with every other
character as '_'. A variable whose part after the prefix equals or starts with
(at a '_' boundary) ANOTHER same-type instance's id or name is refused with
CredentialReferenceOtherInstance at save, deploy, Test Connect and browse - the
same DriverCredentialPolicy.DescribeOtherInstanceProblems the secret: rule uses
(now over CollectInstanceReferences / ReferenceNames). Another-instance matches
win over the owner's, as for secrets. Shared variables that name no instance
(GALAXY_MXGW_API_KEY) keep working. HasInstanceSegments now also gates on env:,
so an env:-only browse needs the ConfigDb (fail-closed without it).

I-1: Test Connect / browse configs may carry unsaved edits (the device modal merges
the stored DriverConfig with the typed device config). The server
(DriverInstanceIdentities.EffectiveOwnerAsync, used by AdminOperationsActor and
BrowserSessionService) honours the named owner only when every endpoint value
(new DriverCredentialRules.EndpointFields: Galaxy Endpoint, OpcUaClient
EndpointUrl/EndpointUrls/DiscoveryUrl, Heidenhain Host/Port) is one that driver
stores; otherwise the owner is null and its instance-named secrets are refused.
Every Test Connect / browse whose config carries an in-scope secret:/env: reference
is recorded (CredentialUseAudit: IAuditWriter event category CredentialUse + a
structured Information line: user, driver, endpoint hosts, outcome).
L-1: the UserCertificatePath rule is skipped only in an object that explicitly sets
AuthType to non-Certificate (string or ordinal); the deploy gate also checks the
runtime-merged driver+device config so the switch cannot be split from the path; the
form no longer persists the hidden field.
L-2: a ConfigDb fault in the browse check is a refusal; RawBrowseModal catches open
failures into its error message.
L-4: a relative UserCertificateDirectory resolves against AppContext.BaseDirectory.

#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).
