Three root-cause fixes to get an elevated dev-box shell past session open
through to real MXAccess reads:
1. PipeAcl — drop BUILTIN\Administrators deny ACE. UAC's filtered token
carries the Admins SID as deny-only, so the deny fired even from
non-elevated admin-account shells. The per-connection SID check in
PipeServer.VerifyCaller remains the real authorization boundary.
2. PipeServer — swap the Hello-read / VerifyCaller order. ImpersonateNamedPipeClient
returns ERROR_CANNOT_IMPERSONATE until at least one frame has been read
from the pipe; reading Hello first satisfies that rule. Previously the
ACL deny-first path masked this race — removing the deny ACE exposed it.
3. GalaxyIpcClient — add a background reader + single pending-response
slot. A RuntimeStatusChange event between OpenSessionRequest and
OpenSessionResponse used to satisfy the caller's single ReadFrameAsync
and fail CallAsync with "Expected OpenSessionResponse, got
RuntimeStatusChange". The reader now routes response kinds (and
ErrorResponse) to the pending TCS and everything else to a handler the
driver registers in InitializeAsync. The Proxy was already set up to
raise managed events from RaiseDataChange / RaiseAlarmEvent /
OnHostConnectivityUpdate — those helpers had no caller until now.
4. RedundancyPublisherHostedService — swallow BadServerHalted while
polling host.Server.CurrentInstance. StandardServer throws that code
during startup rather than returning null, so the first poll attempt
crashed the BackgroundService (and the host) before OnServerStarted
ran. This race was latent behind the Galaxy init failure above.
Updates docs that described the Admins deny ACE + mandatory non-elevated
shells, and drops the admin-skip guards from every Galaxy integration +
E2E fixture that had them (IpcHandshakeIntegrationTests, EndToEndIpcTests,
ParityFixture, LiveStackFixture, HostSubprocessParityTests).
Adds GalaxyIpcClientRoutingTests covering the router's
request/response match, ErrorResponse, event-between-call, idle event,
and peer-close paths.
Verified live on the dev box against the p7-smoke cluster (gen 6):
driver registered=1 failedInit=0, Phase 7 bridge subscribed, OPC UA
server up on 4840, MXAccess read round-trip returns real data with
Status=0x00000000.
Task #112 — partial: Galaxy live stack is functional end-to-end. The
supplied test-galaxy.ps1 script still fails because the UNS walker
encodes TagConfig JSON as the tag's NodeId instead of the seeded TagId
(pre-existing; separate issue from this commit).

AvevaPrerequisites.CheckAllAsync walks eight probe categories producing PrerequisiteCheck rows each with Name (e.g. 'service:aaBootstrap', 'sql:ZB', 'com:LMXProxy', 'registry:ArchestrA.Framework'), Category (AvevaCoreService / AvevaSoftService / AvevaInstall / MxAccessCom / GalaxyRepository / AvevaHistorian / OtOpcUaService / Environment), Status (Pass / Warn / Fail / Skip), and operator-facing Detail message. Report aggregates them: IsLivetestReady (no Fails anywhere) and IsAvevaSideReady (AVEVA-side categories pass, our v2 services can be absent while still considering the environment AVEVA-ready) so different test tiers can use the right threshold.
Individual probes: ServiceProbe.Check queries the Windows Service Control Manager via System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController — treats DemandStart+Stopped as Warn (NmxSvc is DemandStart by design; master pulls it up) but AutoStart+Stopped as Fail; not-installed is Fail for hard-required services, Warn for soft ones; non-Windows hosts get Skip; transitional states like StartPending get Warn with a 'try again' hint. RegistryProbe reads HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ArchestrA\{Framework,Framework\Platform,MSIInstall} — Framework key presence + populated InstallPath/RootPath values mean System Platform installed; PfeConfigOptions in the Platform subkey (format 'PlatformId=N,EngineId=N,...') indicates a Platform has been deployed from the IDE (PlatformId=0 means never deployed — MXAccess will connect but every subscription will be Bad quality); RebootRequired='True' under MSIInstall surfaces as a loud warn since post-patch behavior is undefined. MxAccessComProbe resolves the LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer ProgID → CLSID → HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{guid}\InprocServer32, verifying the registered file exists on disk (catches the orphan-registry case where a previous uninstall left the ProgID registered but the DLL is gone — distinguishes it from the 'totally not installed' case by message); also emits a Warn when the test process is 64-bit (MXAccess COM activation fails with REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG 0x80040154 regardless of registration, so seeing this warning tells operators why the activation would fail even on a fully-installed machine). SqlProbe tests Galaxy Repository via Microsoft.Data.SqlClient using the Windows-auth localhost connection string the repo code defaults to — distinguishes 'SQL Server unreachable' (connection fails) from 'ZB database does not exist' (SELECT DB_ID('ZB') returns null) because they have different remediation paths (sc.exe start MSSQLSERVER vs. restore from .cab backup); a secondary CheckDeployedObjectCountAsync query on 'gobject WHERE deployed_version > 0' warns when the count is zero because discovery smoke tests will return empty hierarchies. NamedPipeProbe opens a 2s NamedPipeClientStream against OtOpcUaGalaxyHost's pipe ('OtOpcUaGalaxy' per the installer default) — pipe accepting a connection proves the Host service is listening; disconnects immediately so we don't consume a session slot.
Service lists kept as internal static data so tests can inspect + override: CoreServices (aaBootstrap + aaGR + NmxSvc + MSSQLSERVER — hard fail if missing), SoftServices (aaLogger + aaUserValidator + aaGlobalDataCacheMonitorSvr — warn only; stack runs without them but diagnostics/auth are degraded), HistorianServices (aahClientAccessPoint + aahGateway — opt-in via Options.CheckHistorian, only matters for HistoryRead IPC paths), OtOpcUaServices (our OtOpcUaGalaxyHost hard-required for end-to-end live tests + OtOpcUa warn + GLAuth warn). Narrower entry points CheckRepositoryOnlyAsync and CheckGalaxyHostPipeOnlyAsync for tests that only care about specific subsystems — avoid paying the full probe cost on every GalaxyRepositoryLiveSmokeTests fact.
Multi-targeting mechanics: System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController + Microsoft.Win32.Registry are NuGet packages on net10 but in-box BCL references on net48; csproj conditions Package vs Reference by TargetFramework. Microsoft.Data.SqlClient v6 supports both frameworks so single PackageReference. Net48Polyfills.cs provides IsExternalInit shim (records/init-only setters) and SupportedOSPlatformAttribute stub so the same Probe sources compile on both frameworks without per-callsite preprocessor guards — lets Roslyn's platform-compatibility analyzer stay useful on net10 without breaking net48 builds.
Existing GalaxyRepositoryLiveSmokeTests updated to delegate its skip decision to AvevaPrerequisites.CheckRepositoryOnlyAsync (legacy ZbReachableAsync kept as a compatibility adapter so the in-test 'if (!await ZbReachableAsync()) return;' pattern keeps working while the surrounding fixtures gradually migrate to Assert.Skip-with-reason). Slnx file registers the new project.
Tests — AvevaPrerequisitesLiveTests (8 new Integration cases, Category=LiveGalaxy): the helper correctly reports Framework install (registry pass), aaBootstrap Running (service pass), aaGR Running (service pass), MxAccess COM registered (com pass), ZB database reachable (sql pass), deployed-object count > 0 (warn-upgraded-to-pass because this box has 49 objects deployed), the AVEVA side is ready even when our own services (OtOpcUaGalaxyHost) aren't installed yet (IsAvevaSideReady=true), and the helper emits rows for OtOpcUaGalaxyHost + OtOpcUa + GLAuth even when not installed (regression guard — nobody can accidentally ship a check that omits our own services). Full Galaxy.Host.Tests Category=LiveGalaxy suite: 13 pass (5 prior smoke + 8 new prerequisites). Full solution build clean, 0 errors.
What's NOT in this PR: end-to-end Galaxy stack smoke (Proxy → Host pipe → MXAccess → real Galaxy tag). That's the next PR — this one is the gate the end-to-end smoke will call first to produce actionable skip messages instead of silent returns.
