Integration-sweep follow-up #6 (SQL leg). The sweep flagged 7 heavy 2-node
deploy/failover/reconnect E2E tests as 'time out under amd64-emulated SQL' and
suggested raising deadlines. That diagnosis was WRONG: run against real
(native-amd64) SQL on the Docker host, they still hang — even at 4x deadline.
Root cause is that these tests had never actually run against real SQL, only the
EF in-memory provider, which does NOT enforce foreign keys.
Two distinct defects, both hidden by in-memory:
1. Missing FK-parent seed (5 tests). The deploy records a NodeDeploymentState row
per node, FK'd to ClusterNode (FK_NodeDeploymentState_ClusterNode_NodeId). The
tests never seeded ServerCluster + ClusterNode, so on SQL each node-state INSERT
throws and the deploy never seals (waits the full deadline regardless of size).
Added TwoNodeClusterHarness.SeedDefaultClusterAsync (seeds a ServerCluster +
a ClusterNode per node; Warm/NodeCount=2 to satisfy the SQL CHECK constraint
CK_ServerCluster_RedundancyMode_NodeCount AND the ClusterEnabledNodeCountMismatch
validator). Called it in DeployHappyPath x2 / Failover / FleetDiagnostics /
EquipmentNamespace; fixed DriverReconnect to seed node B + NodeCount=2.
2. Stale EquipmentId (EquipmentNamespace test; pre-existing on BOTH providers).
Seeded EquipmentId='eq-1', but the later-added EquipmentIdNotDerived validator
requires EquipmentId == DeriveEquipmentId(EquipmentUuid) ('EQ-'+first 12 hex).
Fixed the seed to a canonical id + matching UUID. Only surfaced once the FK fix
let the deploy reach equipment validation.
Also added OTOPCUA_HARNESS_SQL_HOST / OTOPCUA_HARNESS_LDAP_HOST overrides so the
harness fixtures can run on the native-amd64 Docker host (avoids arm64 mssql
emulation entirely).
Verified: the 5 SQL-backed classes go 11/11 green vs native SQL; in-memory default
unregressed (12/12). RoslynVirtualTagEvaluatorTests racing test is a pre-existing
flaky race (not SQL-backed; passes in isolation) — left as-is.
Adds <summary>, <param>, <typeparam>, and <inheritdoc/> tags to public
members surfaced by commentchecker — resolves 5,847 of 5,869 issues
(99.6%) across three /fixdocs passes.
DeployHappyPathTests exercises the full deploy pipeline on the 2-node harness:
AdminOperationsActor → ConfigPublishCoordinator → DistributedPubSub →
DriverHostActor on both nodes → ApplyAck → coordinator seals. Verifies both
NodeDeploymentState rows reach Applied and Deployment.Status reaches Sealed.
Exposed + fixed two production bugs along the way:
1. Coordinator was publishing DispatchDeployment on the "deployments" topic but
never subscribed to anything — DriverHostActor ACKs published on the same
topic could not reach it. Added dedicated "deployment-acks" topic with
coordinator subscription in PreStart, and DriverHostActor publishes ACKs
there.
2. NodeId derivation used member.Address.Host only — two cluster members on a
shared loopback host (test harness, dev VMs) collided to one identity. The
coordinator's expected-ack set became {1} and the system sealed after only
half the nodes acked. Switched to host:port everywhere (ClusterRoleInfo +
coordinator) so loopback nodes stay distinct and production identities are
harmlessly more specific.
Tests: 95 v2 tests pass (was 93 + 2 deploy tests), 0 skipped.
Failover scenarios (design §8 cases 3-7: node-kill-mid-apply, split-brain,
restart-during-deploy) deferred — they need controlled node-down primitives
on the harness. Tracked as F22 (failover scenario test cases).
