Gate record: docs/plans/2026-07-20-localdb-phase2-live-gate.md.
Checks 1, 2, 5, 6 pass. Checks 3 and 4 are NOT satisfied — the defect they
were meant to confirm turned out to be the opposite of what the plan assumed.
Three defects crash-looped every driver node before check 1 could even run:
1. An empty ServerHistorian:ApiKey kills the host. ServerHistorianOptions-
Validator exists to turn exactly that class of failure into a named
OptionsValidationException, but its documented fail tier explicitly excluded
ApiKey on the reasoning that a keyless client "degrades — the gateway rejects
calls". It does not: the client validates its own options at construction, so
the process dies during Akka startup and never makes a call.
2. UseTls disagreeing with the endpoint scheme kills the host too, in both
directions (both messages confirmed in the shipped client assembly). Moving an
endpoint from https to http without clearing UseTls is an ordinary migration
slip.
3. Plaintext h2c was UNREACHABLE. HistorianGatewayClientAdapter forwarded the
TLS-only options unconditionally, and AllowUntrustedServerCertificate defaults
to false, so it always sent RequireCertificateValidation=true — which the
client rejects outright when UseTls=false. Every http:// deployment crashed,
though the scheme is documented as the supported way to select h2c, and the
only workaround was to assert a certificate posture for a connection that has
no certificate.
The fourth was the blocker, and it is Phase 2's own:
4. The drain gate deferred to a Primary that cannot deliver. Redundancy roles are
elected CLUSTER-WIDE; the alarm queue is PAIR-LOCAL. On the rig the elected
driver Primary is central-1 — it carries the driver Akka role, replicates
nobody's LocalDb and does not even run the alarm historian — so every driver
node logged "Historian drain suspended", including the two site-b nodes that
have no peer at all. Nothing drained anywhere, where before Phase 2 it drained
fine. The cost is not a duplicate; it is the buffer growing to the capacity
wall and evicting the audit trail it exists to protect.
Fixed in three layers: a separate ShouldDrainAlarmHistory policy (unknown role
drains; the two gates now deliberately disagree, and a test pins that); peer-
host matching in DriverHostActor so a node stands down only for a Primary
holding its rows; and AddAlarmHistorian short-circuiting the gate when
replication is unconfigured — testing BOTH Replication:PeerAddress and
SyncListenPort, since only the dialing half sets the former while both halves
share the queue.
Every one of these follows from the asymmetry: a false allow costs a duplicate
row, which at-least-once delivery already accepts and payload-hash ids
collapse; a false deny loses data silently.
A third vacuous test, caught by the same delete-the-guard discipline: the
role-view tests stayed green with the guard removed, because AwaitAssert polls
until an assertion passes and the assertion was "reads open" — which is the
SEEDED value, satisfied at the first poll before the actor processed anything.
They now assert the sequence of published values through a recording view; the
control then goes red for exactly the cases that matter.
Migration evidence: 11 legacy rows across two deliberately overlapping files
converged to exactly 9 identical rows on both nodes, proving D-6's payload-hash
identity on real nodes rather than in a fixture.
Open design fork, recorded in the gate doc rather than decided here: a pair
cannot currently identify its own Primary, so both halves drain. Safe in every
topology — nothing loses data — but the gate's de-duplication benefit is
unrealised until roles are scoped per pair.

Build: 0 errors solution-wide, and 0 warnings from every project this branch
touches. The ~816 solution-wide warnings are pre-existing xUnit1051 /
OTOPCUA0001 / CS86xx in untouched driver + client test projects.
Tests: full solution run compared against a full run on a detached worktree at
the pre-branch baseline 2e46d054. The two failure SETS are identical -- all 13
tests, same names, zero new failures. Net +26 tests: +3 Core.AlarmHistorian
(drain gate), +6 Runtime (role view), +17 Host.IntegrationTests (migrator +
convergence). Set comparison rather than counts, because the suite carries
standing environment- and load-dependent failures a count would hide.
The greps found real drift Task 6 missed -- eight live sites still naming the
deleted SqliteStoreAndForwardSink, including the AdminUI /alarms/historian
panel text, which is user-visible, and a <see cref> in HistorianAdapterActor
that resolved to nothing without warning. All repointed at
LocalDbStoreAndForwardSink; CLAUDE.md's alarm-history paragraph now also
records the LocalDb buffer and the primary-gated drain, and drops DatabasePath
from the knob list. docs/AlarmTracking.md still promised an
AlarmHistorianOptions.Validate() startup warning for a relative DatabasePath
and an empty SharedSecret; both branches are gone, so it now says so.
Code references to AlarmHistorian:DatabasePath reduce to exactly two intentional
ones: AlarmSfLegacyMigrator.LegacyPathKey and its test. No `new SqliteConnection`
remains anywhere in Core.AlarmHistorian.
Recon doc gains the durable verification record: guard-deletion evidence for
both vacuous passes, the two exact-set replicated-table pins (both assert set
equality, so an added or a dropped registration fails), and the baseline test
comparison with a per-failure account of why each of the 13 is not this
branch's.
Stops here per the plan. Task 8's live gate needs explicit go-ahead; nothing on
this branch is to be merged.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Copies the pre-consolidation store-and-forward queue into the consolidated
database on first boot, then renames the legacy file aside. Rows are in that
file precisely because the historian could not be reached, so dropping them
on upgrade would discard exactly the alarm audit trail the queue exists to
protect.
Runs last in OnReady, after every RegisterReplicated call. It is the only
thing in OnReady that writes rows, and capture is trigger-based: a migration
that ran before registration would recover the backlog locally and never
replicate a line of it, silently and permanently.
Ids are derived from the payload rather than the plan's mig-{node}-{legacyId}
scheme. Node-prefixing solves the collision the legacy AUTOINCREMENT key
would cause -- node A's row 7 and node B's row 7 are different alarms -- but
it preserves a duplication that should be collapsed instead. A warm pair's
two legacy files OVERLAP: HistorianAdapterActor default-writes while its
redundancy role is unknown, so both nodes accepted the same transitions
during every boot window. Prefixed ids would carry those duplicates into the
merged buffer forever; equal-payload ids converge them. The same property
makes a crash between commit and rename harmless under INSERT OR IGNORE.
OnReady now takes IConfiguration rather than offering an overload that skips
the migration. A wiring mistake that silently discarded a node's undelivered
alarm history is not a mistake worth making possible.
The copy is restricted to the columns the legacy table actually has. Naming
a column an older build never wrote throws "no such column", which would
discard every row in the table rather than the one field.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Moves the alarm store-and-forward buffer out of its own alarm-historian.db
and into the node's consolidated LocalDb, where it replicates to the
redundant pair peer. A node that dies holding undelivered alarm history no
longer takes it to the grave.
Tasks 2 and 3 land together, as the plan anticipated. They are not separable:
the gate is a constructor argument of the rewritten sink, and a commit that
replicated the queue without gating the drain would be a commit in which both
nodes of a pair deliver every alarm event, continuously.
That drain gate is the load-bearing part of the change, and the recon
explains why it is new work rather than a refinement. Exactly-once delivery
across a pair is enforced today on the ENQUEUE side, by
HistorianAdapterActor: only the Primary enqueues, so the Secondary's queue is
empty and its ungated drain has nothing to send. Replicating the table
destroys that invariant.
The gate is a Func<bool> the caller supplies, because the drain runs on a
timer the sink owns rather than on a mailbox, and Core.AlarmHistorian cannot
reference PrimaryGatePolicy in Runtime. Runtime supplies it via a new
IRedundancyRoleView singleton that DriverHostActor publishes its Primary-gate
verdict to -- the same verdict the inbound-write and native-ack gates use, so
there is no second notion of am-I-the-Primary to drift.
Two failure modes are deliberately closed:
- The view is seeded OPEN, matching the policy's own answer for an unknown
role with no driver peer. A deployment that runs no redundancy never
publishes to it, and defaulting closed would silently stop its alarm
history forever.
- A gate that throws is read as not-now, never as permission, and a closed
gate reports the new HistorianDrainState.NotPrimary rather than Idle. A
Secondary's rising queue is supposed to look different from a stalled
drain, and if BOTH nodes report NotPrimary the pair is misconfigured and
says so instead of quietly filling toward the capacity ceiling.
Row ids are a hash of the payload rather than fresh GUIDs. Both adapters
accept the same fanned transition in the window before the first redundancy
snapshot arrives, and under last-writer-wins an equal key converges those two
accepts into one row instead of duplicating them.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Adds the alarm store-and-forward buffer to the consolidated LocalDb file and
registers it for replication, so a node that dies with undelivered alarm
history no longer takes it to the grave.
The table keeps the legacy queue's shape rather than the status column the
plan sketched. An acknowledged row is deleted, not marked delivered: that
needs no second sweeper to keep the table bounded, leaves the capacity
semantics untouched, and the replication engine carries the delete as a
tombstone so the peer drops its copy anyway -- which is what the status
column was for. last_error is retained because it is the only operator-facing
record of why a row was dead-lettered.
The primary key is app-minted TEXT. The legacy AUTOINCREMENT RowId cannot
replicate under last-writer-wins: two nodes would independently allocate
rowid 7 to different alarms and silently overwrite each other. The drain
index therefore orders by enqueued_at_utc rather than insertion order, with
id as a tiebreak so the ordering is total.
Tables are created unconditionally, independent of AlarmHistorian:Enabled.
An empty registered table costs three triggers; creating it lazily would mean
a node that enables the historian later writes rows before its capture
triggers exist, which is exactly the silent-loss shape OnReady's ordering
comment warns about.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
The Kestrel re-bind read only urls/ASPNETCORE_URLS. The aspnet:8.0+ base images
set ASPNETCORE_HTTP_PORTS=8080 (all interfaces) as the CONTAINER default in place
of ASPNETCORE_URLS, so a driver node that never sets URLS fell straight through to
Kestrel's localhost:5000 default — silently moving its health/metrics surface to
loopback when the sync listener took over Kestrel. Now falls through URLS →
HTTP_PORTS/HTTPS_PORTS (wildcard, all-interfaces) → localhost:5000, mirroring
Kestrel's own source precedence. Found on the docker-dev live gate (central nodes
were fine — they set ASPNETCORE_URLS=9000 explicitly).
LocalDbReplicationHealthCheck reports Healthy when replication is default-OFF or
LocalDb is absent (admin-only graphs) - so a plain node is never degraded by it -
Degraded when configured-but-disconnected, connected-with-unknown-backlog (a failed
oplog poll must not read as zero), or connected-with-backlog past the threshold.
Never Unhealthy: a replication fault does not stop the node serving its address
space. Pure decision core is table-tested; registered unconditionally via a factory
so AddOtOpcUaHealth keeps its no-arg signature and resolves ISyncStatus optionally.
Adds LocalDbMetrics.MeterName to the observability allowlist. o.Meters is a strict
allowlist with no wildcard, so the localdb.sync.* / localdb.oplog.depth series were
otherwise silently absent from /metrics - the omission a ScadaBridge live gate
caught.
New Props/ctor parameter appended LAST at all three positions - the forwarding
list inside Props.Create is positional and compiles into an expression tree, so a
mis-ordered argument is usually type-compatible and binds the wrong dependency at
runtime. All 26 existing test construction sites use named arguments and needed no
change.
ReconcileDrivers now returns the blob it loaded. It catches its own DB failures and
returns without rethrowing, so ApplyAndAck can reach its success path having spawned
zero drivers; caching on 'the apply succeeded' would persist an empty artifact as
last-known-good and boot the node into an empty address space during the next
outage. Verified: weakening the guard to null-only turns EmptyArtifact_IsNotCached
red.
The store runs in its own try/catch because an Applied ACK has already been sent by
then - an escaping exception would land in ApplyAndAck's catch and emit a second,
contradictory Failed ACK for a deployment the fleet believes is live.
The Runtime.Deployment namespace shadowed the Deployment EF entity type for
every file under ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Runtime.Tests.*: C# name lookup walks the
enclosing namespace chain and finds the namespace before a using-imported type,
so 19 pre-existing call sites failed with CS0118. Caught only by a full-solution
build - the Host and its own tests compiled fine.
Bumps the four ZB.MOM.WW.Secrets pins 0.2.1 -> 0.2.2 (closes the OtOpcUa side
of scadaproj#1, tracked here as #482). 0.2.1's Akka replicator deadlocked any
hosted process at startup when Secrets:Replication:Enabled was true: the
package's DI graph closed a circular singleton dependency through factory
lambdas (store decorator -> replicator -> actor provider -> cache invalidator
-> resolver -> store), which MS.DI's StackGuard turns into a silent
cross-thread call-site-lock deadlock. 0.2.2 defers the invalidator edge to
first eviction. The flag stays default-false; enabling remains a
per-environment decision.
The_startup_hook_actually_creates_the_replication_actor is now a real test:
SecretReplicationStarter's docs had promised it since the adoption, and the
upstream fix finally makes a provider-based resolve runnable - container built
exactly as the host does, hook started under a watchdog, replication actor
proven to exist by ActorSelection on a self-joined single-node cluster (no
TestKit needed, which matters because Akka.TestKit.Xunit2 is xunit-v2-only and
this project is on xunit.v3). Also corrects the stale rationale that blamed
the old hang on DistributedPubSub needing a joined cluster - the actor
constructor was never reached; it was the DI cycle.
Verified: SecretsReplicationRegistrationTests 8/8 on the 0.2.2 feed packages;
full slnx build 0 errors; the 2-node Akka live convergence gate re-run against
the published 0.2.2 packages passes 6/6 (write->peer, tombstone propagation
without resurrection, delete visibility through the resolver cache, reverse
direction, wrong-KEK fail-closed).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BL2Vu1ESDQ9SCN4gVKkdts
Routes the host's secrets registration through a new AddOtOpcUaSecrets extension
that gates the ISecretStore implementation on Secrets:Replication:Enabled.
Opt-in gate (default FALSE)
This call decides which ISecretStore every node resolves — including driver-role
nodes with no auth/AdminUI, where a wrong store surfaces as drivers failing to
open sessions rather than as a failing test. With the flag false the wiring is
the pre-existing AddZbSecrets(config, "Secrets") call, unchanged, so current
behavior is byte-identical. With it true, AddZbSecretsAkkaReplication replaces
that call (it invokes AddZbSecrets internally; calling both would double-register).
Extracted to a named extension specifically so the registration is testable:
Program.cs is top-level statements and cannot be exercised by a container test,
which is how a "registered but never resolvable" defect ships unnoticed.
Serializer HOCON
AkkaSecretsReplication.SerializationConfig is merged into the ActorSystem config
inside the AddAkka configurator, conditionally on the same gate — a non-replicating
node carries no bindings for messages it will never see. Merged via
AddHocon(..., HoconAddMode.Append), Akka.Hosting's fallback merge and the same mode
the existing base-config merge uses; a raw Config.WithFallback would fight the
builder's own assembly.
Lazy-actor mitigation
The replication actor is created lazily on first ISecretStore resolution, so a node
that never touches a secret would never announce a manifest and would silently never
converge. SecretReplicationStarter (IHostedService) resolves the store once at
startup to make participation unconditional.
KNOWN BLOCKER — replication is currently NON-FUNCTIONAL; do not enable
ZB.MOM.WW.Secrets.Replicator.AkkaDotNet 0.2.0 never binds its own ISecretReplicator.
AddZbSecretsAkkaReplication calls AddZbSecrets FIRST, which does
TryAddSingleton<ISecretReplicator, NoOpSecretReplicator>(); the package's own
TryAddSingleton<ISecretReplicator>(AkkaSecretReplicator) that follows is therefore
a no-op. Verified empirically in a built container: with Enabled=true,
ISecretReplicator resolves to NoOpSecretReplicator, so ReplicatingSecretStore
publishes into a sink and no actor is ever spawned.
Consequence: the startup hook cannot create the actor, and the test asserting it
does is committed Skipped with the evidence. Not worked around here — the fix
belongs upstream (AddSingleton, or register before calling AddZbSecrets).
Because the flag defaults false, this commit is inert in production.
Tests: SecretsReplicationRegistrationTests (new) — disabled path resolves plain
SqliteSecretStore and needs no ActorSystem; enabled path resolves
ReplicatingSecretStore AND the undecorated concrete SqliteSecretStore the decorator
is built from (the exact registration gap that shipped once); startup hook registered
only when enabled. Red before wiring (4 assertion failures), green after: 6 pass,
1 skipped (blocker above).
Build: 861 warnings / 0 errors, unchanged from baseline (full --no-incremental A/B).
Host.IntegrationTests: 123 pass, 6 skip, 1 fail — AbCip_Green_AgainstSim, verified
pre-existing on the stashed tree (fixture-gated).

Resolve secret:-prefixed Password + UserCertificatePassword through the shared
ISecretResolver, fail-closed on absent, retiring the cleartext-in-DB path. The
driver-registry factory is synchronous (Func<string,string,IDriver>), so resolution
is done lazily in the async session-open (InitializeAsync, before BuildUserIdentity)
rather than at deserialize — mirroring Task 7's Galaxy pattern and matching its
re-resolve-on-reconnect behavior. Both consumers (username Password and the
certificate-password LoadPkcs12 path via BuildCertificateIdentity) see the resolved
connect-scoped options; _options stays raw (secret: refs intact), no long-lived
plaintext field.
Scope corrections vs the plan (verified against v3): the probe is unauthenticated
GetEndpoints-only and never reads either credential, so it is NOT a resolution site
(comment added, no dead code); OpcUaClientDriverOptions was a sealed class, converted
to sealed record for the with-expression (no positional params → identical JSON; no
reference-equality/dict-key/ToString-log usages → no behavior/leak change).
ISecretResolver threaded via factory Register/CreateInstance + DriverFactoryBootstrap
(real resolver from DI); NullSecretResolver null-object backs test/parse paths only,
fail-closed on secret: refs. TDD: 4 helper tests RED→GREEN; 142 OpcUaClient tests pass.
Add a secret:NAME arm to GalaxySecretRef.ResolveApiKey that resolves the Galaxy
gateway API key through the shared ISecretResolver — fail-closed if the secret is
absent (never falls through to the cleartext literal arm), retiring the dev:/literal
in-DB path for production. Because GetAsync is async the method becomes
ResolveApiKeyAsync; the await cascade threads ISecretResolver by ctor injection into
GalaxyDriver + GalaxyDriverBrowser and (since GalaxyDriver is built by a static
factory closure, not DI) through GalaxyDriverFactoryExtensions + DriverFactoryBootstrap
(which pulls the real resolver from the service provider — registered unconditionally
in Slice 1). A NullSecretResolver null-object backs the parse-only/test paths only;
the runtime path always gets the real resolver (verified end-to-end).
TDD: 3 new secret:-arm tests (resolve / fail-closed-on-absent / no-literal-warning)
RED without the arm, GREEN with it; 338 Galaxy tests pass; no sync-over-async.
OtOpcUa commits no plaintext secrets — the only secret-shaped committed value is
ServerHistorian:ApiKey='' (empty, disabled by default). Because the pre-host expander
is fail-closed AND section-agnostic, hard-committing a ${secret:} token would break
every dev/CI/integration boot for zero at-rest benefit. Instead document the token
delivery convention for all five config secrets (jwt/ldap/deploy/configdb/historian)
in docs/security.md and note the token option in the ServerHistorian comments.
Mechanism proven live: unseeded token boot fails with SecretNotFoundException at
pre-host expansion; seeded token resolves and boot proceeds. Behavior-neutral
(comment + doc only).
Runtime ISecretResolver must be present on every clustered node regardless of
role: driver-only nodes resolve Layer-B DriverConfig secret: refs but have no
auth/DP/AdminUI (all admin-role-gated). Placed in the unconditional flow next to
AddOtOpcUaHealth(), outside both role blocks. Data Protection left untouched.
Adopt the ZB.MOM.WW.Secrets library (0.1.2, Gitea feed) into OtOpcUa under CPM:
- Directory.Packages.props + NuGet.config source mapping for the three packages
- Host/AdminUI/Driver.Galaxy.Contracts/Driver.OpcUaClient package references
- Layer-A pre-host ${secret:} config expander in Host/Program.cs, placed after all
config providers assemble and before the first config read (mechanism only,
behavior-neutral no-op until Task 4 introduces tokens)
- Secrets section in appsettings.json (env-var KEK, SQLite store, 30s cache TTL)
Mechanism mirrors the proven HistorianGateway adoption. KEK never committed.
Adds the Calculation pseudo-driver (tags computed by C# scripts over other tags' live
values) plus the host seam that feeds it:
- IDependencyConsumer capability interface (Core.Abstractions) + DriverTypeNames.Calculation.
- CalculationDriver : IDriver, ISubscribable, IReadable, IDependencyConsumer — change-gate +
dedupe (VirtualTagActor parity), timer-group scheduler, Bad-transition + script-log emission,
Good recovery; reuses the T0-4 CalculationEvaluator.
- DriverHostActor spawns a DependencyConsumerMuxAdapter per dependency-consuming driver,
registering its refs on the per-node DependencyMuxActor and forwarding DependencyValueChanged
→ OnDependencyValue; re-registers on every apply, torn down with the driver.
- Factory + probe registered in DriverFactoryBootstrap (keeps the T0-3 guard green); guard test
csproj references the driver so the bin-scan discovers the factory.
- DeploymentArtifact injects the resolved scriptSource (scriptId → SourceCode) into a calc tag's
delivered TagConfig so the host-blind driver can compile it.
- DraftValidator deploy gates: CalculationScriptMissing / CalculationScriptNotFound (scriptId
existence) + CalculationDependencyCycle (DependencyGraph.DetectCycles over calc→calc edges).
- Tests: driver units (dep-ref extraction, change-gate, dedupe, Bad+script-log+recovery, timer,
read), tag-config parsing, DraftValidator gates (self/2-cycle/cross-driver-terminal), and a
Runtime integration test proving values FLOW mux → adapter → driver → calc-of-calc end-to-end.

Corrects the #459 finding. 2-node keep-oldest recovery works fine (the ScadaBridge
sister project proves it); OtOpcUa was missing the supervision pieces that make it
automatic, and docs/Redundancy.md wrongly claimed in-place oldest-crash failover.
Mechanism (confirmed on a 2-container rig + by decompiling Akka KeepOldest.OldestDecision):
on an OLDEST-node crash keep-oldest downs the LONE survivor (DownReachable including
myself) — down-if-alone can't rescue a lone survivor (its branch needs >=2 survivors).
Recovery is exit-and-rejoin: run-coordinated-shutdown-when-down terminates the node and
the service supervisor restarts it. My earlier 'total outage' was a docker-dev artifact
(no restart policy); production Install-Services.ps1 already has sc.exe failure restart.
Changes (ScadaBridge parity):
- ActorSystemTerminationWatchdog (Host, registered after AddAkka): watches
ActorSystem.WhenTerminated and on an unexpected self-down calls StopApplication so the
process exits (supervisor restarts it) instead of idling with a dead actor system.
Distinguishes graceful shutdown via _stopRequested + ApplicationStopping. 3 unit tests.
- docker-dev: restart: unless-stopped on the host anchor (models production supervision) +
both redundancy peers in SeedNodes so a restarted node re-forms via either peer.
- docs/Redundancy.md: rewrote the split-brain recovery section — younger-loss = in-place
fast failover; oldest-loss = exit-and-rejoin under supervision (not in-place); the three
requirements (supervisor + watchdog + both-node seeds); flagged HardKillFailoverTests as
non-representative (Transport.Shutdown, not a real crash). Instant in-place takeover on
ANY single loss needs 3+ members.
Cluster.Tests 29/29 (SBR guards), watchdog tests 3/3, full solution builds.
Live re-verify of the watchdog image pending (host docker disk full).
Four continuous-historization types (IHistorizationOutbox, HistorizationOutboxEntry,
IHistorianValueWriter/HistorizationValue, HistorizationCommitMode) drifted into a
ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Core.Abstractions.Historian sub-namespace while the other six files
in the same folder correctly use the root namespace. This violated decision #59's
flat-public-surface rule and left InterfaceIndependenceTests.AllPublicTypes_LiveInRootNamespace
red on master (pre-existing, predates round-2 remediation).
Move all four to the root namespace and drop/retarget the now-redundant
'using ...Core.Abstractions.Historian;' in the ~11 consumers. No behavioral change.
Verified: Core.Abstractions.Tests 129/129 (was 128/129), Runtime.Tests Historian+DI 72/72,
Gateway driver unit 102/102, full solution build 0 errors.
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.
Remediates RESILIENCE-DISPATCH-GAP (surfaced by the 07/C-1 analyzer): the Phase 6.1
CapabilityInvoker resilience pipeline (retry / breaker / bulkhead / telemetry) was
constructed only in tests — the production dispatch layer called driver-capability
methods directly, bypassing it entirely.
The filed plan (thread CapabilityInvoker directly into DriverInstanceActor) is
INFEASIBLE: Runtime is deliberately Polly-free (references Core.Abstractions, not
Core — the same boundary IDriverFactory documents). So this introduces a seam,
mirroring IDriverFactory exactly:
- Core.Abstractions: IDriverCapabilityInvoker (+ NullDriverCapabilityInvoker
pass-through) and IDriverCapabilityInvokerFactory (+ null factory).
- Core: CapabilityInvoker now implements the interface; new
DriverCapabilityInvokerFactory builds a per-instance invoker over the
process-singleton pipeline builder + status tracker + tier resolver.
- Runtime: DriverInstanceActor takes an IDriverCapabilityInvoker (default =
pass-through) and routes all 6 dispatch sites (write, alarm-ack, subscribe,
unsubscribe, alarm-subscribe, discover) through it; per-host key resolved via
IPerCallHostResolver for single-ref calls, driver-instance key for bulk calls.
DriverHostActor builds + injects the real invoker per spawned driver.
- Host: DriverFactoryBootstrap registers the tracker, pipeline builder, and
concrete factory (needs DriverFactoryRegistry.GetTier). Runtime SCE resolves the
factory from DI like IDriverFactory; pass-through on nodes without it bound.
- Analyzer: IDriverCapabilityInvoker.ExecuteAsync/ExecuteWriteAsync are now
recognized wrapper homes (interface-typed invoker calls must suppress OTOPCUA0001
too). All 6 RESILIENCE-DISPATCH-GAP pragmas removed — the analyzer (an error in
Runtime) is now the standing regression guard.
Also adds retry / breaker-open / breaker-close LOGGING to the pipeline builder —
the operator-facing observability surface (the Admin /hosts reader, Phase 6.1
Stream E.2/E.3, was never built, so the pipeline otherwise runs silently).
Scope notes:
- Tier-DEFAULT policy only: DriverInstanceSpec (the deploy artifact) does not carry
the per-instance ResilienceConfig JSON, so overrides aren't applied yet (tracked
follow-up: plumb ResilienceConfig through the composer/artifact).
- GenericDriverNodeManager's call is NOT wired: that class is test-only scaffolding
(zero production references — the Server has its own address-space path); its
pragma is re-annotated accordingly, not left as a "tracked gap".
Verification (unit + analyzer; live behavioral gate still pending — see FOLLOWUP-10):
- Negative control: unwrapping any site fails the Runtime build with OTOPCUA0001.
- New Runtime guard (recording invoker): write routes via ExecuteWriteAsync with the
IPerCallHostResolver host; subscribe via ExecuteAsync — proves runtime routing.
- New analyzer test: the interface is a valid wrapper home.
- New pipeline-builder test: retry events are logged.
- Full solution builds clean (0 errors); Runtime.Tests 357, Core.Tests 238,
Analyzers.Tests 32 all green; pass-through default keeps existing dispatch tests
byte-for-byte unchanged.
U2 (Critical): RoslynVirtualTagEvaluator ran scripts with a CancellationToken
that a synchronous Roslyn script can never observe, so one CPU-bound/infinite-

recovery). Route evaluation through the existing TimedScriptEvaluator (Task.Run
+ WaitAsync) so the wall-clock budget is real; a runaway script now returns Bad
within the timeout instead of wedging the actor.
U3 (High): the live path cached evaluators in a raw ConcurrentDictionary never
cleared on republish, leaking a collectible AssemblyLoadContext per edited
script forever. Swap in the purpose-built CompiledScriptCache (Lazy single-
compile, dispose-on-Clear) and add an apply-boundary clear: a new narrow
IScriptCacheOwner seam the VirtualTagHostActor calls on each ApplyVirtualTags
generation (mirrors ScriptedAlarmEngine's per-generation clear).
Tests: infinite-loop-fails-within-timeout (bounded by WaitAsync so a regression
fails instead of hanging), happy-path-after-wrapping, ClearCompiledScripts-
empties-cache, and a host-actor wiring guard asserting each apply generation
calls ClearCompiledScripts (theme #1 production-caller assertion). Host.Integration
VT suite 18/18, Runtime VT suite 12/12.
Adds <summary>/<param>/<returns>/<inheritdoc> where missing and removes
project bookkeeping IDs (task/tracking refs) from shipped code comments,
so the docs read cleanly and CommentChecker is quiet except for known
false positives (PLC/protocol terms, event/IEqualityComparer inheritdoc).
Doc/comment-only; no logic changed; solution builds clean.
PR #423 shipped GatewayTagProvisioner + unit tests but never registered it in
DI nor passed it into the AddressSpaceApplier, so deploying historized tags used
the no-op NullHistorianProvisioning and never called the gateway's EnsureTags
(confirmed live on wonder-app-vd03: zero EnsureTags calls on a historized deploy).
Addresses HISTORIAN-GATEWAY-INTEGRATION-ISSUES.md.
Issue 1 (wire provisioner):
- Runtime: AddHistorianProvisioning extension (gated on ServerHistorian:Enabled,
mirrors AddServerHistorian) + NullHistorianProvisioning TryAdd default in
AddOtOpcUaRuntime; WithOtOpcUaRuntimeActors resolves IHistorianProvisioning and
passes it into the applier.
- Gateway driver: GatewayHistorian.CreateProvisioner factory (mirrors CreateDataSource).
- Host: Program.cs calls AddHistorianProvisioning after AddServerHistorian.
- Tests: AddHistorianProvisioningTests (config-gated registration + the
register->resolve->applier->EnsureTags chain).
Issue 2 (observability): AddressSpaceApplier logs the provisioning tally on every
successful dispatch (was gated behind Failed/Skipped > 0), including dispatched=N
so a dispatched=N/requested=0 line flags the dormant no-op. +2 tests.
Issue 3 (30s HistoryRead on unprovisioned tags): root coupling fixed by Issue 1;
documented the CallTimeout knob + coupling. Default left at 30s pending the
multi-data-point investigation the issue requests (lowering risks truncating
legitimate large reads).
Issue 4 (docs): docs/Historian.md gains a "Tag auto-provisioning (EnsureTags)"
section and CLAUDE.md a wiring/gating note (both stress ServerHistorian:Enabled).
Sibling scadaproj/CLAUDE.md carries no false claim -> unchanged.
Pre-existing Serilog observation: anchor CWD to AppContext.BaseDirectory before
AddZbSerilog so the relative file sink stops landing in C:\Windows\System32 under
the Windows-service CWD.
Builds 0-error; Runtime.Tests 355, OpcUaServer.Tests 329, Gateway.Tests 99 (+4
live-skipped) all green.
HistorianGateway is now the sole historian backend (read + alarm SendEvent +
continuous WriteLiveValues). Document the final state and retire the Wonderware
sidecar from the docs/config/labels:
- CLAUDE.md: rewrite the Historian section — ServerHistorian /
ContinuousHistorization / AlarmHistorian config keys, the IHistorianProvisioning
EnsureTags hook, the GatewayAlarmHistorianWriter SendEvent path + ReadEvents
dependency on gateway RuntimeDb:EventReadsEnabled=true, gateway-side
prerequisites (RuntimeDb flags + historian:read/write/tags:write scopes),
migration note, and two KNOWN-LIMITATION callouts (live-validation gate +
empty historized-ref-set recorder follow-on).
- appsettings.json: fix the stale ServerHistorian block (Host/Port/SharedSecret/
ServerCertThumbprint -> Endpoint/ApiKey/UseTls/AllowUntrustedServerCertificate/
CaCertificatePath/CallTimeout, keep MaxTieClusterOverfetch); add a disabled
ContinuousHistorization block; prune the orphaned Wonderware keys from
AlarmHistorian (keep the SQLite knobs). ApiKey env-supplied via
ServerHistorian__ApiKey (commented; valid strict JSON via _comment keys).
- README.md + docs (Historian.md, AlarmHistorian.md, Configuration.md,
ServiceHosting.md, DriverLifecycle.md, drivers/README.md, Uns.md, VirtualTags.md,
AlarmTracking.md, Client.UI.md, README.md, TestConnectProbes.md): retire the
Wonderware historian backend from current-backend descriptions; fix the stale
ServerHistorian/AlarmHistorian config tables (now gateway shape); convert
drivers/Historian.Wonderware.md to a retired stub pointing at the gateway.
- Source/UI labels (descriptive text only, no behavior change):
OtOpcUaServerHostedService.cs, HistoryPaging.cs, OtOpcUaSdkServer.cs,
HistorianAdapterActor.cs, VirtualTagModal.razor, ScriptedAlarmModal.razor,
AlarmsHistorian.razor now name the HistorianGateway backend.
Build clean (0 errors); AdminUI.Tests green (514 passed).

The HistorianGateway driver is now the sole historian read/write+alarm backend, so the
Wonderware sidecar projects are dead code. Removes the 5 Wonderware projects (driver,
.Client, .Client.Contracts, + their 2 test projects) from the solution and tree, and fully
retires the vestigial 'Historian.Wonderware' driver type (UI/probe-only; it had no driver
factory): the Host probe registration, the AdminUI driver-config surface (driver page,
tag-config editor/model/validator entry, address picker/builder, driver-type catalog +
dropdown + edit-router entries), and their tests. Prunes the now-unused Wonderware
connection fields (Host/Port/UseTls/ServerCertThumbprint/SharedSecret) from
AlarmHistorianOptions (keeping Enabled + the SQLite store-and-forward knobs) and refreshes
the stale XML docs that named Wonderware as the production backend.

Bind ContinuousHistorizationOptions (Enabled/OutboxPath/CommitMode/
CommitIntervalMs/DrainBatchSize/DrainIntervalSeconds/Capacity/backoff) with a
warn-only Validate(); gated on Enabled AND the ServerHistorian gateway being
configured, the Host registers the durable FasterLogHistorizationOutbox (container
-disposed) + a gateway-backed GatewayHistorianValueWriter, and binds outbox
depth/dropped observable gauges on the central scraped meter. WithOtOpcUaRuntimeActors
spawns the recorder (over the same dependency-mux ref) when the options + writer +
outbox resolve, registering ContinuousHistorizationRecorderKey. Spawned with an EMPTY
historized-ref set: the deployed address space builds later, so ref population is a
documented follow-on (a later SetHistorizedRefs feed) — T18 wires the actor + outbox
+ writer + meters; the ref feed is the known remaining gap.
