- SqlServer StartEnd join-back: every pick join also carries the window predicate
(forward >= @start AND < @end, reverse > @start AND <= @end). Keyed on the pick
time alone a hash/merge/adaptive join read the tag's whole history (review:
43,657 vs 361 logical reads), and parameter sniffing reused that plan for every
tag. Forced OPTION (HASH JOIN), 1d@1h on 6M rows: 152,524 -> 6,756 reads.
- Usable picks (x/y) re-check the exact u predicate in the join, so a concurrent
HistoryUpdate Replace that turned the picked sample Bad/Empty reads as absent
(BadNoData), never a Bad row's value under Delta.
- StartEndJoinBackTests (integration): 300k history rows either side of a 1 h
window, forced HASH and MERGE joins, results identical to the unhinted plan and
Start/End correct, session logical reads < 1,000 (183 bounded; 8,055 with the
bound removed — the test fails then).
- TagIndexTests: the refused-ADD-INDEX test asserts the Warning naming the ALTER.
- Historian.md: re-measured table incl. long-history windows (output identical by
EXCEPT both ways in all 7 cases) and the forced-join read counts.
Start/End/Delta: one GROUP BY computes the counts and each bucket's four pick
times (MIN/MAX SourceTimeUtc, any quality and usable); each pick's columns are
then fetched by a seek on the clustered key (TagId, SourceTimeUtc). Replaces the
windowed ROW_NUMBER form (live-gate 8 F1), whose four window sorts spilled.
Output identical (EXCEPT both ways empty, 6M rows, forward + reverse incl. a
sub-microsecond reverse start). 6M rows / 30 days, avg of 3 x 2 rounds:
30d@1h 18.6-31.7 s -> 3.4 s (reverse 18.1-29.9 s -> 3.4-5.2 s)
7d@1d 5.2-6.1 s -> 0.8 s
1d@1min 0.31-0.40 s -> 0.16 s (1d@7min reverse 0.46 -> 0.12 s)
The seeks are separate reads within one statement: under READ COMMITTED a
HistoryUpdate delete between the aggregate and the seek nulls that pick; the
null-tolerant reader (2ceed561) makes that bucket's Start/End/Delta BadNoData,
transiently. Unit test pins it; documented in the query remarks + Historian.md.
QuestDB single-scan StartEnd unchanged.
- Bootstrapper: an ALTER ... ADD INDEX refused up front (e.g. no DDL rights)
logs a Warning and lets the bootstrap succeed (the index is optional); a
WAL-apply failure remains unobserved, like the TTL ALTER — documented.
Integration test (VARCHAR tag => refused ALTER) fails with the catch removed.
- Historian.md: a dominant tag can read ~20% slower on long windows (single-
threaded index scan vs parallel JIT filter); O3 writes rewrite index files;
sample_modified.tag / event.source deliberately not indexed, and why.
- CLAUDE.md: the concurrent-HistoryUpdate-delete caveat on the range-first order.
QuestDB: {p}sample.tag is now SYMBOL INDEX. The processed-read data-range
lookups (EarliestSample / LatestSample) were partition scans of the unindexed
symbol; on 53.6M rows / 120 tags / 61 daily partitions the indexed seeks are
1-1.5 ms warm / 2-4 ms cold whatever the tag's history (unindexed: up to 11 ms
warm, 14 ms cold; cost grew with the table). The bootstrapper adds the index to a
pre-#683 table (ALTER ... ADD INDEX, a WAL txn, idempotent, ~3 s for 68M rows);
AutoCreateSchema=false only logs the statement. Disk +~12%; write apply time
within noise; main per-sample/raw/time-weighted queries unchanged or faster.
Rejected by measurement/analysis: bounded existence probes (still full scans
when a side is absent), LATEST ON (slowest unindexed), per-tag first/last side
table (cannot track TTL drops or deletes INSERT-only).
Both backends now read the data range before the bucket statement: an append
racing the read reaches the buckets but not the range, so it can no longer
produce a Good Count of 0 for an interval that has samples.
Tests: TagIndexTests (new-table index, bound-param seek uses the index,
tombstones excluded / outage marker counted, pre-#683 migration with identical
processed results across 10 aggregates x 4 windows x both directions).
- #682: ServedAggregates (ten raw-evaluated per-sample + TimeAverage/Total) replaces the placeholder
AggregateModeMapper.Served; NativeAggregates is derived from the mapper's switch. The Gateway
expectations in AggregateModeMapperTests, HistorianBackendRegistryTests and
AdvertisedAggregateFunctionsWireTests move to the 12-member set (the wire tests' 'not served by
Gateway' example is now TimeAverage2).
- #684: RawBucketAccumulator applies the SQL backends' Good-only value columns (Avg/Min/Max/Sum and
the ActualTime extreme over Good numeric samples), UncertainMin/UncertainMax over Uncertain numeric
samples, and GoodNonNumeric. The parity oracle carries the #684 InMemoryRows and the DenseUncertain /
UncertainBeyond / UncertainText datasets.
Average, Count, Minimum, Maximum, Range, Start, End, Delta and Minimum/MaximumActualTime are evaluated
on the Gateway backend from forward ReadRaw reads with BucketPlan + AggregateEvaluator, so Gateway
matches SqlServer/QuestDB exactly (values, status bits, interval-start stamps, #677 reverse).
- Window read [start - 1 ms, end] so AVEVA's initial-value row never lands in a bucket; a pre-window
row proves earlier data only with a non-Bad OPC quality (histsdk puts a value on every NULL row).
- Earlier data otherwise from a 2-row [1970, start) probe; later data from a 2-row [end, now+1d]
look-ahead; both ignore rows stamped at their query start/end.
- No gateway stream is ever abandoned (a client-side cancel makes the gateway evict its shared
historian session); past ServerHistorian:MaxTimeWeightedRawRows the bounded stream is drained, then
BadTooManyOperations. The gateway's max_values-ceiling InvalidArgument maps to the same limit; a
caller cancellation is not a backend fault.
- TimeAverage/Total stay AVEVA-native (no prior-sample read for exact Part 13 bounds), now stamped with
the interval start (PENDING the live leg: histsdk's tail+43 start_time field is unverified) and
carrying the Calculated bits.
- Served set: GatewayHistorianDataSource.ServedAggregates (12). Live AVEVA leg open (VPN).
- Average/Minimum/Maximum/Range/*ActualTime refuse (BadAggregateInvalidInputs) only a GOOD
String/DateTime sample (new GoodNonNumericCount / good_non_numeric_count column); an Uncertain
one is skipped and makes the min/max family Uncertain, matching the SDK (Average skips it,
ComputeMinMax flags the uncastable value). Delta keeps its usable-sample refusal.
- ProcessedConformance: an Uncertain value above the Good maximum (pins UncMax/unc_max through
the real SQL) and an Uncertain String through the real SQL.
- The_uncertain_dataset_is_not_vacuous also proves the min/max STATUS discrimination.

Part 13 defines Average/Minimum/Maximum/Range/*ActualTime over Good raw values
(independent of TreatUncertainAsBad) and the SDK's calculators skip Uncertain values
under the server's TreatUncertainAsBad=false. SqlServer/QuestDB value columns now use
the good flag (g) instead of usable (u); new UncMin/UncMax columns feed the Part 13
Minimum/Maximum/Range status rule (Uncertain on a Bad sample or an Uncertain value
beyond the Good extreme -- the SDK applies only the Bad half). An Uncertain-only
interval is BadNoData. Uncertain-bearing parity datasets (in-memory + real SQL) match
the SDK unmasked; the beyond-extreme divergence is pinned explicitly.

ServerCapabilities/AggregateFunctions (i=2997) is Part 5's list of every
aggregate the server supports, and live AggregateFilter subscriptions still
compute all 37 SDK aggregates, so it keeps the SDK's full set; only i=11201
follows the backend. A null SupportedAggregates is treated as the interface
default (all) by both the advertisement and HistoryRead-Processed (it used to
NRE inside the batch). Docs: i=2997/i=11201 split and the boot window.
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
IHistorianDataSource.SupportedAggregates (default: every HistoryAggregateType)
is the one authority for both ServerCapabilities/AggregateFunctions (i=2997) and
HistoryServerCapabilities/AggregateFunctions (i=11201) and for the up-front
BadAggregateNotSupported in HistoryRead-Processed. Gateway declares
AggregateModeMapper.Served (4), SqlServer/QuestDB AggregateFamilies.Served (17),
Null none. Only the folder references are trimmed; the SDK's calculator
factories stay so live AggregateFilter subscriptions keep working.

QuestDB Start/End/Delta reads of a tag being written intermittently failed
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported (InvalidCastException: Column 'ts_3' is null):
the StartEnd query referenced its CTE four times and QuestDB opens a table
reader per reference, so a row committed between two of them was counted but
not picked. MinimumActualTime/MaximumActualTime had the same race and returned
a value-less Good.
(a) SQL
- QuestDB StartEnd: one scan, one GROUP BY — first()/last() for the
any-quality picks, arg_min/arg_max keyed on the usable rows' time for the
usable picks (no str_value: arg_min has no VARCHAR form; only Delta reads
them). Byte-identical output to the old query on a 1M-row tag, ~15% faster.
- SqlServer StartEnd: one windowed pass + conditional MAX (was five CTE
references); identical output, 1.4-3x faster.
- ActualTime kept on both backends: every single-scan form measured 1.2-2.4x
slower; its inconsistency is absorbed by (b).
(b) Defence in depth on both backends
- ReadBucket takes DbDataReader and reads absent picks as null
(ReadStoredOrNull) instead of throwing.
- AggregateEvaluator: Delta with a missing first/last usable pick and
ActualTime with a missing extreme are BadNoData (were BadAggregateInvalidInputs
/ a value-less Good); Start/End with no pick already were.
- Unit tests (Sql.Common evaluator, QuestDb + SqlServer mappers over a
DataTableReader) fail with the guards removed.
LiveWriteReadRaceStressTests (QuestDB integration, opt-in via
HISTORIAN_QUESTDB_STRESS_SECONDS, Category=SlowUnit): single-row writer vs
4 tight-loop readers. Old code: 6 faults in ~105k reads; new: 0 in 106k.
Docs: Historian.md QuestDB processed-read note; F2 (Min/Max on the interval
start: SDK raw, ours Calculated) and F3 (integer tags: SDK casts interpolated
values to the integer type, ours Double) added to the SDK-parity deviations.
Per-sample aggregates (all but Average) now set Partial on a reverse read's interval
that strictly contains the tag's latest sample — the SDK's reverse m_startOfData
(verified vs the SDK harness), matching lane A's time-weighted rule. NeedsDataRange
therefore applies in both directions for every per-sample aggregate but Average.
PercentGood/Bad left the per-sample evaluator (lane A moved them to the time-weighted
family); Evaluate refuses non-per-sample aggregates up front. Comments fixed.
Count: Good samples only, value-based status (all Bad => generic Bad), 0/Good on an
empty interval inside the tag's data range [first, last] (both directions).
Start/End: the raw first/last sample of any quality (own value, status, timestamp).
Delta: Uncertain only when the interval's first or last sample is not usable.
Forward end-of-data Partial (SDK m_endOfData, earlier edge inclusive) for every
per-sample aggregate but Average (PercentGood/Bad left to lane A).
Backends push down first/last-any-quality columns and fetch the tag's data range
(earliest <= window end, latest >= window start) only when NeedsDataRange.
SDK parity masks for Start/End/Delta/Count removed; new parity datasets.
TimeAverage2/Total2: the interval the data ends inside with no non-Bad time
before its last sample (comms-loss recovery, a single sample) answers that
sample's value (Total2 0), Uncertain + Partial, instead of Bad/BadNoData —
as the SDK. Parity datasets RecoveryEnds, OutageLast, BoolSwitch with
documented masks; ProcessedConformance's reverse TA/Total mask narrowed to
the later-edge-sample interval. Docs: report-by-exception consequence,
outage-last and Boolean differences; CLAUDE.md historian bullet.
TimeAverage/Total: Uncertain when a Bad value is skipped, an Uncertain value
is used, the value is extrapolated or the interval is not covered; an
interval wholly inside an outage bridges (Uncertain); Total integrates only
the covered part. TimeAverage2/Total2 stop at the end of the data (Partial,
then BadNoData). PercentGood/PercentBad become duration-based and move to
the time-weighted family (now subject to MaxTimeWeightedRawRows). Reverse
reads set Partial on the interval holding the latest sample when nothing
follows (SDK m_startOfData). Parity tests gain end-of-data and outage
datasets; pre-existing #680 masks removed.
Live gate A1 (docker-dev, opc-plc restart / SIGINT / kill): the fast path never fired —
a real process stop delivers no session status; the keep-alives report
BadSecureChannelClosed (0x80860000) once, then BadConnectionClosed (0x80AE0000)
interleaved with BadNoCommunication for the whole outage.
Reproduced in-process with TcpStallProxy.HardClose (reset every connection, refuse new
ones; server and session alive behind it): the identical sequence, and the SDK 1.5.378
session never opens a new connection on its own (48 s with the proxy accepting again,
zero attempts) — a closed channel cannot recover in place.
The driver now treats BadSecureChannelClosed/BadConnectionClosed as definitive on the
SECOND closed-channel keep-alive failure in one outage (a good keep-alive resets the
count), raising ConnectionLost ~1 keep-alive after the drop. BadNoCommunication /
BadRequestTimeout / BadNotConnected (stall/pause) stay with the watchdog; the stall test
still sees no ConnectionLost. New wire test (hard close + reopen ⇒ raised once, SDK never
reconnects, reinit brings the identical value back Good) and unit tests (sustained raises
once; a single blip that recovers does not) — all red on the previous code. Docs updated.
F1: the SDK applies its m_startOfData Partial rule to forward reads only; ours
now does too (AggregateEvaluator.EvaluateAll + TimeWeightedAggregator). New
reverse late-start parity tests through the SDK oracle (unit) and real SQL
(conformance, both backends).
F2: AggregateEvaluator.NeedsEarliestSample — the earliest-sample query runs
only for forward reads of aggregates other than Average, and is bounded by
the window end (SqlServer < @end, QuestDB ts < $2).
F3: per-sample SDK parity extended to Range, Start, End, Delta, Min/Max
ActualTime and PercentGood/Bad (oracle maps StatusAggregateCalculator);
pre-existing definitional differences masked and marked #680.
Docs: Historian.md Partial/SDK-parity sections, CLAUDE.md bullet.
1. A per-ref delivery counter (bumped under the delivery lock by every publish path) is
captured before the trailing read is issued; a ref delivered to since is skipped.
Without source timestamps the read's sample could not be ordered against a notification
that landed mid-read, and publishing it regressed the node. Test injects the
notification inside the mocked read, with and without a read source time (red before).
2. Delivery-lock comment corrected (it serialises across subscriptions, which the SDK
dispatches on separate workers); PublishCommsLoss now publishes under the lock too.
3. CancelSessionWork cancels without disposing, so a keep-alive thread reading the old
token cannot hit ObjectDisposedException.
- HistoryUpdate Primary gate now reads IHistoryUpdateRoleView (PrimaryGatePolicy.ShouldServeHistoryUpdate):
the data-plane verdict but CLOSED until this node's first redundancy snapshot, so both pair nodes cannot
accept in the pre-join boot window. Single nodes open on their own singleton's first snapshot; admin-only
nodes register no view => no gate. DriverHostActor publishes it at every Primary-verdict publish point.
- SqlServer v1: the updater throws NotSupportedException on every arm; the node manager maps it to a
node-level BadHistoryOperationUnsupported (was per-item under a Good node for UpdateData/DeleteAtTime).
HistoryWrite bit still advertised on v1 (not knowable at materialise time) — documented.
- The update plan is evaluated before the Primary gate: an unservable request (Remove, IsDeleteModified,
not historized, no updater) is BadHistoryOperationUnsupported off-Primary, not BadInvalidState.
- Local-kind SourceTimestamp converted to UTC before the future-skew compare and sent as UTC.
- Hosted-service wiring extracted to BuildHistoryUpdatePosture and tested (gate source, skew, clock).
- Docs: Historian.md (boot window, ordering, node-level v1, HistoryWrite bit), CLAUDE.md.

- IHistorianDataSource.SupportsReverseEvents (default false; SqlServer/QuestDB true; Gateway/Null declare false).
The node manager checks it BEFORE calling the source: an end-only capped events read becomes reverse only on
a supporting backend (Gateway, the default, keeps the pre-#675 forward [MinValue, EndTime) paging), and an
explicit reverse read on a non-supporting backend is BadHistoryOperationUnsupported without a call.
- Removed the broad catch (NotSupportedException) in the events path: a NotSupportedException from inside a
backend is now logged as a backend fault (Error), not an 'unsupported' Warning.
- Null declares the reverse overload itself; guard test: every production IHistorianDataSource declares both
the reverse overload and the capability (positive-control scan of all four backends).
- Conformance: capability reported + oversized reverse tie cluster (forward over-fetch reversed == reverse
read order; capped reverse read stopping inside the cluster flags truncation) on SqlServer + QuestDB.
- docs/Historian.md: end-only capped events read is backward on SqlServer/QuestDB, forward on Gateway.
1. RewriteEndpointUrl keeps the advertised port when the configured URL names none
(Uri.Port -1 would have sent the session to 4840); port-less + IPv6 tests.
2. The trailing re-read repairs any (value, status) difference that is not older than
the last delivered value — Good->Bad/Uncertain included; a read without a source
timestamp counts as newer; an equal source time with different content is published
(repairs the replay guard's by-design equal-timestamp drop).
3. One driver-wide delivery lock makes decide+publish atomic across live notifications,
the recovery read and the trailing read, so an older value can never land after a
newer one (deterministic race test via a seam).
4. Known gap documented: a ConnectionLost raised while the host is not Connected is
swallowed and that session falls back to the watchdog.
5. Only a SERVER-reported subscription loss raises ConnectionLost; the publishing-stall
heuristic stays with the #527 watchdog.
6. Post-recovery timers run on Task.Delay(…, Clock, ct) with a session-work CTS
cancelled on session release and dispose.
7. Replay summary at Information only when something was dropped (Debug otherwise);
a re-arm reports the superseded window's drops and counts afresh.
8. DriverInstanceActor: AttachHostStatusSource doc comment restored; Reconnecting
swallows a stray DisconnectObserved (test).
9. Stall wire test: 120 s session timeout, 3000-cycle subscription lifetime, one further
bad keep-alive tick, 60 s headroom on the post-recovery waits (5/5 green).
- Endpoint rewrite: the driver now connects to the configured host AND port (scheme
match, advertised path kept) instead of the server-advertised URL — fixes NAT/port-map
upstreams and lets an in-test proxy carry the session (SDK SelectEndpoint rule).
- TcpStallProxy + OpcUaClientDriverStallWireTests: the in-place blip (#670) is now
wire-tested on loopback — one Bad, frozen read stamp, same session, identical value
republished Good, a post-recovery change arrives, no source-time regression after
the SDK's late backlog flush.
- Defect found by that test, fixed: a change published right after a stall rode a
Publish response the SDK timed out and never republished, leaving the node Good on
the pre-change value indefinitely. New trailing reconcile read (Timeout +
KeepAliveInterval after recovery) publishes any Good value newer than the last
accepted one, through the replay guard's mark.
- IDriverConnectionLossSource (Core.Abstractions): opt-in definitive-loss signal.
DriverInstanceActor attaches in PreStart / detaches in PostStop and turns a raise
into a disconnect only while Connected. OpcUaClient raises once per session on
keep-alive BadSessionIdInvalid/BadSessionClosed/BadSessionNotActivated/
BadServerHalted (measured: the SDK never re-opens a halted channel) or a dropped
subscription; ambiguous codes stay with the #527 watchdog.
- Replay guard: one Information summary per recovery when the window closes
("dropped N late notifications across M refs"), with a timer so quiet
subscriptions log it too.
- ReconnectPeriod deleted (options, AdminUI form, docs, tests); stored configs that
carry reconnectPeriod still parse in the factory, probe and browser.
- Docs: OpcUaClient.md, DriverLifecycle.md, driver-specs.md, CLAUDE.md.
- BucketPlan: reverse processed reads anchored at the later time for every
aggregate: window (end, start], partial interval earliest, results stamped
with the later edge, latest first (SDK CreateSlice/GetTimestamp/backward
GetValues). SqlServer adds @bucketAdjustTicks + flips the window predicate;
QuestDB binds BucketBaseUnixTicks. IndexOf is the C# statement of the math.
- Partial bit on the interval the tag's data starts inside (SDK m_startOfData),
every aggregate but Average; per-sample reads fetch the earliest sample.
- Node manager: non-default client AggregateConfiguration =>
BadAggregateConfigurationRejected per node (ServerAggregateConfiguration,
pinned to the SDK AggregateManager defaults).
- GatewayTagProvisioner sends IntegralDivisor = 1.
- SDK parity oracle (Opc.Ua.Server calculators) in unit + both backends'
conformance suites, forward and reverse; remaining divergences documented.
- docs/Historian.md + CLAUDE.md release note (client-visible).
- IHistorianDataSource.ReadEventsAsync(..., bool reverse, ...) overload: reverse = Part 11 window (lo, hi]
newest-first by (time, id) DESC. Default forwards forward reads and throws NotSupportedException for
reverse (Null); Gateway refuses explicitly (ascending-only stream). Server answers
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported instead of silently returning the earliest N ascending.
- SqlServer / QuestDB serve reverse natively (ORDER BY time DESC, id DESC + TOP/LIMIT).
- Node manager: reverse event reads page with continuation points; direction stored in the cursor
(HistoryContinuationState.Reverse) so a resume continues in the cursor's direction; reverse tie clusters
over-fetched forward and sliced from the newest end (SliceTieCluster(reverse:)); end-only reads with a
cap page backward from EndTime (mirrors raw).
- Resumed event pages over-fetch by the boundary skip, so every non-final page is a full cap page.
- Tests: node-manager reverse paging (ties, clusters, coarse resolution, overfetch bound, resume
direction both ways, end-only, unsupported backend); shared EventReadConformance on SqlServer +
QuestDB; over-the-wire reverse paging; offline Gateway pin of the UTC DateTime.MaxValue bound through
the published client's proto conversion (in-process gRPC capture) and FILETIME.
- docs/Historian.md event paging section.
- HistoryUpdate items with SourceTimestamp > now + ServerHistorian:HistoryUpdateMaxFutureSkew
(default 1 day, <=0 disables) => BadOutOfRange in the node manager (every backend, never sent);
clock injected via OtOpcUaNodeManager.Clock (host TimeProvider).
- HistoryUpdate is Primary-only: off-Primary => BadInvalidState per node, after authorization,
same IDriverPrimaryRoleSource verdict as the native-ack gate; HistoryRead ungated.
- SqlServer: base schema requirement back to v1; SupportsModifiedTrail (v>=2). On v1 with
AutoCreateSchema=false: writes/reads/events/retention work, modified reads + HistoryUpdate =>
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported with nothing sent, retention skips SampleModified, one Warning per boot.
- QuestDB integration test pinning wall-clock TTL (far-future row evicts only partitions older
than the TTL by the wall clock), with a positive control.
- Docs: Historian.md, Configuration.md, security.md, CLAUDE.md (incl. QuestDB retry duplicates,
#674.4 anonymous-readable trail with ACL off, #674.5 not implemented).

- EndpointSelector rewrites host AND port to the user-supplied URL (same scheme only)
- AggregateType/mapper/CLI/UI gain TimeAverage, TimeAverage2, Total, Total2, Interpolative
- HistoryReadCommand turns ServiceResultException into a one-line CommandException
- NodeManagerHistoryReadTests non-historized case sets IsReadModified=false
The F2 live gate failed (10 value regressions over 4 blips): IsLateReplay
disarmed a ref on its first in-order notification, which arrives ~1 s after
recovery, while the SDK's late replay lands 4-6 s later. Equal source times
also passed, so a replay equal to the recovery read got through.
While the window is open each ref now carries a high-water mark (seeded at
arming, raised by the recovery read, advanced by every accepted notification);
a notification at or below it is dropped (equal included — OPC UA moves the
source timestamp on every value/status change). Null source time passes
without moving the mark. Window expiry still disarms entirely, so an upstream
clock step-back is never frozen outside the window. Arm/expiry serialised by a
lock so an expiry racing a re-arm cannot wipe fresh seeds.
- HistoryModifiedValue gains explicit SourceTimeUtc (SqlServer + QuestDB populate it); the node manager's resume cursor uses it instead of the prior value's nullable source timestamp (MinValue for inserts).
- ACL test now uses a trail-returning data source and asserts Good + data on the allow leg.
- Node-manager tests: end-only backward open-ended paging, reverse resume cursor, null-prior cursor.
- QuestDB updater logs a Warning (tag + time range) when a sample write fails after its trail rows landed.
- docs/Historian.md: rolling-upgrade window, IDENTITY-vs-commit ordering, QuestDB cross-node ModifiedId clock ordering.
Every HistoryUpdate a SQL backend applies now leaves a modification trail
(prior value, principal, Part 11 update type, modification time), and
HistoryReadRaw with IsReadModified=true serves it as HistoryModifiedData.
- Core: HistoryUpdateContext threaded into all three IHistorianDataUpdater
methods; IHistorianDataSource.ReadModifiedAsync (default NotSupported =>
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported on Gateway/Null); HistoryModified* contracts.
- SqlServer: schema v2 (002_sample_modified.sql, RequiredVersion=2, docs copy);
trail written by OUTPUT ... INTO on the same MERGE/DELETE statement, so a
failed update leaves no audit row; retention purges SampleModified per tag on
the source-time cutoff; ReadModifiedAsync keyed on (SourceTimeUtc, ModifiedId).
- QuestDB: append-only {prefix}sample_modified (TTL like samples), trail row
written BEFORE the change (orphan-on-crash, never an untracked change);
existence reads now carry the prior value; ReadModifiedAsync.
- Node manager: modified reads dispatch + page via the #669 continuation store
(HistoryContinuationState gains HistoryCursorKind + LastModifiedId), gated by
the existing HistoryRead decision; session principal / key id passed to the
updater. IsDeleteModified stays unsupported.
- Client.CLI: historyread --modified.
- Tests: node-manager dispatch/paging/cursor binding/principal threading,
over-the-wire HistoryModifiedData, shared ModifiedValueConformance on both
backends, SqlServer atomicity (forced trail failure => no change) + v1->v2
upgrade + retention trail purge.
- Docs: Historian.md (Modified-value history section, schema v2 upgrade note),
security.md, Client.CLI.md, CLAUDE.md.
The global 'never older than the last Good source time' rule froze a node
whenever an upstream clock stepped backwards (NTP correction, PLC clock
reset) until the clock caught up. The check is now a replay guard armed
only by a same-session recovery (keep-alive bad->good): per ref it holds
the last Good upstream source time (raised by the recovery read), a ref
disarms on its first in-order notification, and the whole guard expires
after max(30 s, 2x the longest subscription keep-alive window). Outside
it every notification is accepted. The steady-state tracker records the
LAST accepted time, not a high-water mark.
