M1: the time-weighted family (incl. Total, formerly a pushed-down SUM) streams
raw window rows into the C# evaluator. New shared knob
ServerHistorian:MaxTimeWeightedRawRows (default 1,000,000; <=0 unbounded with a
Validate warning) flows through HistorianBackendRegistry into both providers.
The window query is capped at cap+1 (SQL Server TOP (@maxRows), QuestDB LIMIT $4);
one row past the cap throws the new Core.Abstractions
HistoryReadLimitExceededException, which the node manager maps to
BadTooManyOperations for that node. Not counted as a backend health failure;
bound rows are not counted; per-sample aggregates are not capped.
M2: reverse Interpolative is anchored at the later time (Part 13): points at
End - i*interval, emitted latest first. 10:00->09:00 @1h yields 10:00.
L1: Partial bit (0x4, = Opc.Ua.AggregateBits.Partial) on non-Bad results of a
truncated last interval (time-weighted family; per-sample family is a follow-up).
L2/L3: aligned with the SDK AggregateCalculator.GetTimeBasedStatusCode
(decompiled from Opc.Ua.Server 1.5.378.106): TreatUncertainAsBad=false counts
Uncertain time (Uncertain samples, held-into-outage, extrapolation) as Good
time; data but no non-Bad time => generic Bad (0x80000000); BadNoData only
when there is no data at all. Consequence: a live tag's latest interval reads
Good (documented).
L5: release note no longer claims Total matches the Gateway Integral exactly
(AVEVA's divisor is unverified); it notes Total is now evaluated in C# and
subject to the cap.
Tests: unit (reverse Interpolative x3, Partial, Bad vs BadNoData incl. an
open-ended outage, cap helpers, SDK bit oracles); conformance (reverse
Interpolative, raw-row cap at/over/0, bounds not counted, health unaffected);
node manager BadTooManyOperations; options default + warning. Each new
behaviour falsified by mutation (aggregator x9, data-source cap checks on
both backends against the real DBs, node-manager catch).
New AggregateFamily.TimeWeighted serving TimeAverage, TimeAverage2, Total,
Total2 and Interpolative, evaluated by the shared Sql.Common
TimeWeightedAggregator for both SQL backends (identical results by
construction). HistoryAggregateType gains TimeAverage2 + Total2 (appended);
OtOpcUaNodeManager.MapAggregate maps their NodeIds. Gateway's mapper already
refuses unknown defined members => BadAggregateNotSupported per node.
Semantics (server defaults, client AggregateConfiguration ignored):
TreatUncertainAsBad=false, PercentDataBad=PercentDataGood=100,
UseSlopedExtrapolation=false. Sloped for Double/Int64, stepped for Boolean;
a usable sample followed by a Bad one is held up to the outage (AtTime rule);
stepped Uncertain extrapolation past the last sample. TimeAverage/Total use
interpolated bounding (bridge outages); TimeAverage2/Total2 exclude Bad time.
Bounding values: latest usable + latest any before start, first any + first
usable at/after end (four TOP 1 / LIMIT 1 seeks).
CLIENT-VISIBLE: Total on SqlServer/QuestDb was SUM of samples; it is now the
time-weighted integral (TimeAverage x interval seconds), matching Gateway's
Integral. Release note in docs/Historian.md.
Trade-off (deviation from the preferred hybrid pushdown, allowed by the
design): the time-weighted family is NOT pushed down. Each read streams the
window's rows plus the four bounds (SQL Server: one five-result-set batch;
QuestDB: bounds UNION ALL + window select) into the C# evaluator. Network is
O(samples in window), memory O(buckets). Writing the per-segment
interpolation/edge splitting twice in two SQL dialects and keeping them
bit-identical was judged the bigger risk; this also makes the QuestDB
lag/lead spike moot.
Tests: 35 hand-computed TimeWeightedAggregator unit cases (each of 10
implementation mutations goes red); served-aggregate pin 13 -> 17;
conformance sparse fixture (intervals wider and narrower than sample gaps)
+ an outage straddling both window edges (each of the four SQL seeks
disabled in turn goes red); node-manager NodeId mapping test.
- I-1: QuestDbConnection caps Npgsql Maximum Pool Size at 24 (DefaultMaxPoolSize)
when the connection string does not set it; an explicit value is kept. The
effective value is logged once at Information.
- M-1: QuestDbTagCatalog.EnsureAsync waits for the tag table's sequenced commits
and re-checks before inserting, so it no longer overwrites a provisioner row
(unit/description) that is committed but not yet applied. Integration test
reproduces the clobber against real QuestDB (falsified).
- M-3: the pre-1970 drop Warning is rate-limited per tag (once per 10 min);
DroppedPre1970 still counts every sample.
- M-5: QuestDbHistorianProvider is IAsyncDisposable/IDisposable and disposes the
shared Npgsql pool; Program.cs registers the provider through a factory and
every seam resolves it from the container, so DI disposes it at shutdown.
- M-8, M-9: docs fixes (HistoryUpdate transaction wording; folded duplicate
HistoryUpdate paragraph). Pool-size docs updated for the new default cap.

Since #516 a DriverConfig change is stop + respawn, so DriverSpawnPlan.ToApplyDelta
was always empty and the in-place path had no producer. #663 and #664 were both
latent bugs in it. This deletes it:
- host: ApplyChildDelta, _pendingDelta, HandleApplyResult and HandleDeltaApplied
- plan: DriverSpawnPlan.ToApplyDelta
- actor: the ApplyDelta, ApplyResult and DeltaApplied messages, the Connected
reinit handler and the mid-connect AdoptConfigDuringInit
- tests: the actor tests that drove the seam
IDriver.ReinitializeAsync and each driver's implementation and unit tests stay.
Comments and docs that cited AdoptConfigDuringInit as the reason a driver must
release prior state at init now cite the IDriver contract and overlapping
retries, which still apply.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
AdoptConfigDuringInit re-runs InitializeAsync(newConfig) and acks success, but
Calculation and Galaxy ignored the JSON there: Calculation kept its old tag
set, and Galaxy connected on its old endpoint. Calculation now rebuilds its tag
table from a config with a body (sharing AdoptConfig with ReinitializeAsync and
stopping any running timer scheduler first). Galaxy, which cannot hot-swap its
options, refuses a non-equivalent one the way ReinitializeAsync does. The actor
now sends DeltaApplied once the adopted init succeeds, so a dependency
consumer's mux interest is re-registered. Unreachable from deploys since #516.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
A Connected ApplyDelta called ReinitializeAsync and kept the actor's data and
native-alarm handles, though every driver's reinit drops the driver-side
subscriptions behind them (#630). The reconcile only re-subscribes a missing
handle, so the driver went silent until a reconnect. Release both at the
driver before the reinit and re-subscribe both in a finally. Unreachable from
deploys since #516; pinned by a two-case test, each case failing against a
different wrong fix.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
A data re-subscribe (every deploy's bulk SetDesiredSubscriptions push to a
kept driver) dropped the prior data subscription through the full
DetachSubscription, which also unhooked OnAlarmEvent and forgot the alarm
handle. On any deploy that did not respawn the driver, the alarm
subscription kept logging "established" while every event reached nobody
until a reconnect or respawn. The data path now uses DetachDataSubscription;
only a lost connection and PostStop detach both.
The #488 health-poll reconcile only looked at data, so an alarm subscribe
that failed on (re)connect gated the feed for the life of the connection.
ReconcileAlarmSubscription now re-attaches a missing handler and
re-subscribes a stale/missing alarm handle every tick.
OpcUaClient removes a half-built alarm subscription from its session when
SubscribeAlarmsAsync throws, so the new retries cannot accumulate.
Tests: actor-level data-resubscribe + reconcile-retry tests and an
end-to-end NativeAlarmFeedSurvivesDeployTests through DriverHostActor; all
three fail against the unfixed actor.

- HardwareGateGuardTests: only StringWriteGateTests may name a write path in HardwareGate/; the
allow-list is exactly the two Z-35162 (10.209.70.160) STRING tags; the opt-in, the (host, tag)
check and the AB_DIFF_ENDPOINT refusal are present. Proven red by a WriteAsync mutation.
- StringWriteGateTests: allow-list entries are (host, tag); any other endpoint is refused; skips
while AB_DIFF_ENDPOINT is set, like IntegrationWriteGate.
- AbCip.md #566: the close happened somewhere in the 16-60 s window; RST vs FIN not captured.

A. #566 on a real CompactLogix (Z-35162, read-only): a class-3 connection idled 60 s past its
16 s timeout is closed at the TCP level, not with CIP 0x0107/0x0203; the next request fails on
its write (Broken pipe -> BadConnection) in 9 ms and the one after reopens. The transport already
handles this, so no production behaviour changed; the shape is pinned offline by
CipConnectionTests.A_target_that_resets_an_idle_session_... (FakeEipServer.ResetAllConnections),
proven red with a reconnect-skipping mutation. The diagnostics-only exchange tap now also sees
Forward Open replies (granted RPIs).
B. Native STRING write through the driver on Program:ES03_TemperatureControl._StrTmp: write,
read back, restored byte-exact (user-approved). Array write NOT run: the census's unreferenced
DINT[32] _SEQ_EP arrays are aliased sequencer step registers (raw L5X grep), so none qualifies.
#567 still impossible (a 128 B array / 88 B STRING never fragments).

StringWriteGateTests). Docs: gate results (hw5 section + raw output), AbCip.md, CLAUDE.md.

After an OpcUaClient respawn an upstream inactive+unacked condition went out as
Retrigger+Clear (duplicate Activated+Cleared rows, Active flicker), and a
first-sight inactive+acked one as Unspecified (an Activated row for an inactive
alarm; a retained-Active host condition never cleared).
- New AlarmTransitionKind.InactiveUnacknowledged: one projection, rows only for
what changed (Activated+Cleared from acked, Cleared from active+unacked, none
when already inactive+unacked).
- OpcUaClient uses it for moves into inactive+unacked; first sight of an
inactive condition is InactiveUnacknowledged or Clear+Acknowledge, flagged.
- Projector: a flagged Acknowledge on an already-acked condition writes no row.
- E2E tests through DriverHostActor.ForwardNativeAlarm (red-proven).

Review M1: round 1 refused only the rewritten status bits, so S:/O:/I: writes - which
never worked on libplctag because tag creation failed - would have started reaching
the PLC (outputs, status-file words) on the default transport. WriteRefusal now keys
on LibplctagLegacyName.IsTranslated: file number supplied (S/O/I, incl. bit writes
like O:0/3, refused ahead of the parent-word RMW) or status bit rewritten. Reads
unaffected. Docs/comments now true; gate doc notes R bit-number wire evidence is
non-discriminating (L1). 12 new cases fail with the round-1 predicate.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
The read translation R6:0.DN -> R6:0.CON/13 made those names parse in libplctag, which
would have turned a write - previously impossible, tag creation failed - into a masked
write to the control word. LibplctagLegacyTagRuntime.WriteRefusal (via
IAbLegacyTagFactory.WriteRefusal, same plumbing as native) now refuses writes to every
rewritten status bit (R EN/EU/DN/EM/ER/UL/IN/FD, C UA) with BadNotSupported before a
runtime is created; the runtime also refuses as defence in depth. Reads stay
translated. T/C status bits libplctag parses itself keep their pre-existing behaviour.
13 new tests fail with the predicate disabled.

libplctag 2.6.0 (bundled by libplctag 1.5.2 / NativeImport 1.0.41) pccc.c needs an
explicit file number (parse_pccc_file_num; S is only the status file when a digit
follows) and has no R-file status-bit mnemonics (sub_element_lookup: con/len/pos only;
a /bit is refused on a 6-byte element). So the canonical S:0 (the default probe),
O:0/3, I:0/0 and R6:0.DN failed with BadCommunicationError on a real MicroLogix 1400
while native read them.
LibplctagLegacyName (libplctag adapter only) now emits S2:/O0:/I1: (the native
encoder's implicit file numbers) and R6:0.CON/<bit> for status bits libplctag lacks
(R EN/EU/DN/EM/ER/UL/IN/FD, C UA), bit numbers taken from the native table. The
authored grammar is unchanged. Unit tests pin the translation per family and check,
through a model of the pccc.c parser, that the translated name addresses exactly
what the native encoder does (46 fail without the fix). Live: Z-33323 idle, reads
only - libplctag now equals native for S/O/I/R status bits; controls unchanged.

- L2: WriteWidthRefusal leaves a BOOL over a wider value to a runtime that sees the CIP
type (native): mistyped integer member -> BadTypeMismatch (as its read), 0xD3 BOOL-array
DWORD -> BadNotSupported; libplctag keeps BadNotSupported for both (size only).
- L4: direct theory over WriteWidthRefusal (1/2/4/8 widths incl LINT/ULINT/LREAL, String/Dt,
unknown size) + array/bit-selector exemptions with a non-vacuous control.

Item 2 — controller-discovered UDT members are writable on both transports once
browse-committed and authored ReadWrite (writability is the operator's: the commit
lands AccessLevel Read with no writable key). The write names the member (one CIP
symbolic segment per member), its own type, its own bytes. BIT members are supported:
Z-35162 (read-only probe) exposes a UDT BIT member as a 1-byte 0xC1 BOOL, so the
controller applies the bit and the hidden host's other bits are never in the request.
- AbCipDriver: pre-write width check on BOTH transports (libplctag patched part of
its read buffer and sent it all): BadTypeMismatch, Bool over a wider value
BadNotSupported; nothing sent, handle kept, health untouched, warn once.
- A runtime NotSupportedException is a refusal: no longer latches Degraded.
Item 3 — whole-UDT writes refused BadNotSupported before any runtime exists, by
decision (a structure write overwrites hidden hosts + padding), documented.
ab_server patch 0003: serve member paths from dotted flat tags (UdtSeg.*), and
accept libplctag's pad byte on 1-byte writes (stock ab_server refused every
libplctag BOOL/SINT write with 0x03). New AbCipUdtMemberWriteTests (both
transports), AbCipDiscoveredMemberWriteTests, native request-byte theory, and a
browse-commit mapper pin. Docs: AbCip.md Member writes / Whole-UDT writes / Known
gaps, fixture docs, CLAUDE.md AB section.
