The #815 warn-only compatibility window is over. A running Galaxy driver
(InitializeAsync, every gateway ReopenAsync, the ack fallback password) and a
running OpcUaClient driver (session open) now refuse an out-of-namespace
credential reference with the same CredentialReferenceException that save,
deploy (CredentialReferenceOutOfScope), Test Connect and browse already raise,
before any store / environment / file read and before any endpoint is dialled.
The one existing scope check (CredentialReferences.Parse/ResolveAsync) is now
the only path; nothing new was added.
Removed:
- LegacyCredentialReferenceTracker (Core.Abstractions), its rate-limited WARN
and the credential-compat:<field> diagnostics entry.
- The per-driver Legacy* resolve methods and every `legacy` parameter
(GalaxySecretRef, GalaxyAckCredentialResolver, OpcUaUserIdentityFactory,
OpcUaUserCertificatePaths, OpcUaClientSecretResolution).
- IDriverDiagnostics on GalaxyDriver / OpcUaClientDriver (it only carried the
tracker's entries).
- The tracker also kept a pre-#836 absolute UserCertificatePath loading on a
running OpcUaClient driver; that is refused now too.
Preflight / banner decision: KEPT, as a hard error. The Running source
(driver-health credential-compat entries) and CredentialReferenceBannerModel
are gone with the tracker, but the ConfigDb scan still tells an operator
something no other surface does: a Deployed finding is now a driver that is
not connecting, a Draft finding is a deploy the gate will refuse - named
before anyone deploys, e.g. after restoring an old ConfigDb backup or
importing a pre-#815 config. It also carries the #835 cross-instance and
#836/#850 path checks. CredentialReferencePreflightService now logs one Error
per finding (was Warning) with no warn-only wording, and the /raw banner is
alert-danger.
DEV and QA ConfigDbs hold no Galaxy/OpcUaClient driver (checked 2026-11-13);
no production install exists.
Tests: GalaxyDriverLegacyCredentialTests replaced by
GalaxyDriverCredentialScopeTests; new OpcUaClientDriverCredentialScopeTests;
tracker tests in OpcUaClientSecretResolutionTests /
OpcUaClientUserCertificatePathTests deleted; AdminUI preflight tests drop the
Running/banner-model cases and assert Error level. Against the old code the
new refusal tests fail (Galaxy 5/6, OpcUaClient 4/5; the two positive controls
pass on both).
docs/security.md: the migration table now says running drivers refuse; the
warn-only section is replaced by "The compatibility window is over".

User decision: save, Test Connect, live browse and the deploy gate keep
refusing out-of-namespace credential references, but an ALREADY-DEPLOYED
driver must not fault at the upgrade restart or (Galaxy) at the next
gateway reconnect, since ReopenAsync re-resolves Gateway.ApiKeySecretRef.
- LegacyCredentialReferenceTracker (Core.Abstractions): the one, deprecated,
call-site-chosen compatibility path. Running Galaxy (InitializeAsync,
ReopenAsync, ack fallback) and OpcUaClient (session open) pass it and keep
the pre-#815 semantics (case-insensitive prefixes, Galaxy file:, OpcUaClient
literal pass-through) with a rate-limited Warning (driver/field/allowed
form, never the value) and a credential-compat:<field> diagnostics entry
(both drivers now implement IDriverDiagnostics). Browsers and probes pass
none and stay hard-fail; Heidenhain has none.
- Deploy-gate message names the migration.
- Upgrade preflight: CredentialReferencePreflightService (admin nodes, once
after ApplicationStarted, ConfigDb only, resolves nothing) logs a Warning
per Draft row / Deployed-artifact finding; the /raw banner shows them plus
Running drivers reporting warn-only use (driver-health diagnostics).
- docs/security.md: exact replacement table (incl. the old form default
env:MX_API_KEY, file:, un-namespaced secret:, casing changes), the
ReopenAsync reconnect behaviour, the warn-only window and its removal.

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).

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.
