Two new facts target DelmiaReceiver_001.TestAttribute — the writable Boolean UDA on the TestMachine_001 hierarchy in this dev Galaxy. The user nominated TestMachine_001 (the deployed test-target object) as a scratch surface for live testing; ZB query showed DelmiaReceiver_001 carries one dynamic_attribute named TestAttribute (mx_data_type=1=Boolean, lock_type=0=writable, security_classification=1=Operate). Naming makes the intent obvious — the attribute exists for exactly this kind of integration testing — and Boolean keeps the assertions simple (invert, write, read back).
Write_then_read_roundtrips_a_writable_Boolean_attribute_on_TestMachine_001: reads the current value as the baseline (Galaxy may return Uncertain quality until the Engine has scanned the attribute at least once — we don't read into a typed bool until Status is Good), inverts it, writes via IWritable, then polls reads in a 5s loop until either the new value comes back or the budget expires. The scan-window poll (rather than a single read after a fixed delay) accommodates Galaxy's variable scan latency on a fresh service start. Restore-on-finally writes the original value back so re-running the test doesn't accumulate a flipped TestAttribute on the dev box (Galaxy holds UDA values across runs since they're deployed). Best-effort restore — swallows exceptions so a failure in restore doesn't mask the primary assertion.
Subscribe_fires_OnDataChange_with_initial_value_then_again_after_a_write: subscribes to the same attribute with a 250ms publishing interval, captures every OnDataChange notification onto a thread-safe ConcurrentQueue (MXAccess advisory fires on its own thread per Galaxy's COM apartment model — must not block it), waits up to 5s for the initial-value callback (per ISubscribable's contract: 'driver MAY fire OnDataChange immediately with the current value'), records the queue depth as a baseline, writes the toggled value, waits up to 8s for at least one MORE notification, then searches the queue tail for the notification carrying the toggled value (initial value may appear multiple times before the write commits — looking at the tail finds the post-write delta even if the queue grew during the wait window). Unsubscribes on finally + restores baseline.
Both tests use Convert.ToBoolean(value ?? false) to defensively handle the Boxed-vs-typed quirk in MessagePack-deserialized Galaxy values — depending on the wire encoding the Boolean might come back as System.Boolean or System.Object boxing one. Convert.ToBoolean handles both. Same pattern in OnReadValue's existing usage.
WaitForAsync helper does the loop+budget pattern shared by both tests.
PR 40 is the code side of LMX #5's final two deferred facts. To actually run them green requires re-executing from a normal (non-admin) PowerShell — the elevated-shell skip from PR 39 fires correctly under bash + sc.exe-context (verified). lmx-followups.md #5 updated to note the new facts + the run command + the one remaining genuine follow-up (alarm-condition fact when an alarm-flagged attribute is deployed on TestMachine_001).
Test posture from elevated bash: 7 LiveStackSmokeTests facts discovered (was 5; +2 new), all skip cleanly with the elevation message. Build clean.

PR 39 closes the gap. New IsElevatedAdministratorOnWindows static helper (Windows-only via RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform; non-Windows hosts return false and let the prerequisite probe own the skip-with-reason path) checks WindowsPrincipal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator) on the current process token. When true, InitializeAsync short-circuits to a SkipReason that names the cause directly: 'elevated token's Admins group membership trumps the allow rule — re-run from a NORMAL (non-admin) PowerShell window'. Catches and swallows any probe-side exception so a Win32 oddity can't crash the test fixture; failed probe falls through to the regular prerequisite path.
The check fires BEFORE AvevaPrerequisites.CheckAllAsync runs because the prereq probe's own pipe connect hits the same admin-deny and surfaces UnauthorizedAccessException with no context. Short-circuiting earlier saves the 10-second probe + produces a single actionable line.
Tests — verified manually from an elevated bash session against the just-installed OtOpcUaGalaxyHost service: skip message reads 'Test host is running with elevated (Administrators) privileges, but the OtOpcUaGalaxyHost named-pipe ACL explicitly denies Administrators per the IPC security design (decision #76 / PipeAcl.cs). Re-run from a NORMAL (non-admin) PowerShell window — even when your user is already in the pipe's allow list, the elevated token's Admins group membership trumps the allow rule.' Proxy.Tests Unit: 17 pass / 0 fail (unchanged — fixture change is non-breaking; existing tests don't run as admin in normal CI flow). Build clean.
Bonus: gitignored .local/ directory (a previous direct commit on local v2 that I'm now landing here) so per-install secrets like the Galaxy.Host shared-secret file don't leak into the repo.

LiveStackConfig resolves the pipe name + per-install shared secret from two sources in order: OTOPCUA_GALAXY_PIPE + OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET env vars first (for CI / benchwork overrides), then the service's per-process Environment registry values under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OtOpcUaGalaxyHost (what Install-Services.ps1 writes at install time). Registry read requires the test host to run elevated on most boxes — the skip message says so explicitly so operators see the right remediation. Hard-coded secrets are deliberately avoided: the installer generates 32 fresh random bytes per install, a committed secret would diverge from production the moment the service is re-installed.
LiveStackFixture is an IAsyncLifetime that (1) runs AvevaPrerequisites.CheckAllAsync with CheckGalaxyHostPipe=true + CheckHistorian=false — produces a structured PrerequisiteReport whose SkipReason is the exact operator-facing 'here's what you need to fix' text, (2) resolves LiveStackConfig and surfaces a clear skip when the secret isn't discoverable, (3) instantiates GalaxyProxyDriver + calls InitializeAsync (the IPC handshake), capturing a skip with the exception detail + common-cause hints (secret mismatch, SID not in pipe ACL, Host's backend couldn't connect to ZB) rather than letting a NullRef cascade through every subsequent test. SkipIfUnavailable() translates the captured SkipReason into Assert.Skip at the top of every fact so tests read as cleanly-skipped with a visible reason, not silently-passed or crashed.
LiveStackSmokeTests (5 facts, Collection=LiveStack, Category=LiveGalaxy): Fixture_initialized_successfully (cheapest possible end-to-end assertion — if this passes, the IPC handshake worked); Driver_reports_Healthy_after_IPC_handshake (DriverHealth.State post-connect); DiscoverAsync_returns_at_least_one_variable_from_live_galaxy (captures every Variable() call from DiscoverAsync via CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder and asserts > 0 — zero here usually means the Host couldn't read ZB, the skip message names OTOPCUA_GALAXY_ZB_CONN to check); GetHostStatuses_reports_at_least_one_platform (IHostConnectivityProbe surface — zero means the probe loop hasn't fired or no Platform is deployed locally); Can_read_a_discovered_variable_from_live_galaxy (reads the first discovered attribute's full reference, asserts status != BadInternalError — Galaxy's Uncertain-quality-until-first-Engine-scan is intentionally NOT treated as failure since it depends on runtime state that varies across test runs). Read-only by design; writes need an agreed scratch tag to avoid mutating a process-critical attribute — deferred to a follow-up PR that reuses this fixture.
CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder is a minimal IAddressSpaceBuilder that flattens every Variable() call into a list so tests can inspect what discovery produced without booting the full OPC UA node-manager stack; alarm annotation + property calls are no-ops. Scoped private to the test class.
Galaxy.Proxy.Tests csproj gains a ProjectReference to Driver.Galaxy.TestSupport (PR 36) for AvevaPrerequisites. The NU1702 warning about the Host project being net48-referenced-by-net10 is pre-existing from the HostSubprocessParityTests — Proxy.Tests only needs the Host EXE path for that parity scenario, not type surface.
Test run on THIS machine (OtOpcUaGalaxyHost not yet installed): Skipped! Failed 0, Passed 0, Skipped 5 — each skip message includes the full prerequisites report pointing at the missing service. Once the service is installed + started (scripts\install\Install-Services.ps1), the 5 facts will execute against live Galaxy. Proxy.Tests Unit: 17 pass / 0 fail (unchanged — new tests are Category=LiveGalaxy, separate suite). Full Proxy build clean. Memory already captures the 'live tests run via already-running service, don't spawn' convention (project_galaxy_host_service.md).
lmx-followups.md #5 updated: status is 'IN PROGRESS' across PRs 36 + 37 with the explicit remaining work (install + start services, subscribe-and-receive, write round-trip).

Interface additions use C# default interface implementations that throw NotSupportedException — existing IHistoryProvider implementations keep compiling, only drivers whose backend carries the relevant capability override. This matches the 'capabilities are optional per driver' design already used by IHistoryProvider.ReadProcessedAsync's docs (Modbus / OPC UA Client drivers never had an event historian and the default-throw path lets callers see BadHistoryOperationUnsupported naturally). New HistoricalEvent record models one historian row (EventId, SourceName, EventTimeUtc + ReceivedTimeUtc — process vs historian-persist timestamps, Message, Severity mapped to OPC UA's 1-1000 range); HistoricalEventsResult pairs the event list with a continuation-point token for future batching. Both live in Core.Abstractions so downstream (Proxy, Host, Server) reference a single domain shape — no Shared-contract leak into the driver-facing interface.
GalaxyProxyDriver.ReadAtTimeAsync maps the domain DateTime[] to Unix-ms longs, calls CallAsync on the existing MessageKind.HistoryReadAtTimeRequest, and trusts the Host's one-sample-per-requested-timestamp contract (the Host pads with bad-quality snapshots for timestamps it can't interpolate; re-aligning on the Proxy side would duplicate the Host's interpolation policy logic). ReadEventsAsync does the same for HistoryReadEventsRequest; ToHistoricalEvent translates GalaxyHistoricalEvent (MessagePack-annotated, Unix-ms) to the domain record, explicitly tagging DateTimeKind.Utc on both timestamp fields so downstream serializers (JSON, OPC UA types) don't apply an unexpected local-time offset.
Tests — HistoricalEventMappingTests (3 new Proxy.Tests unit cases): every field maps correctly from wire to domain; null SourceName and null DisplayText preserve through the mapping (system events without a source come out with null so callers can distinguish them from alarm events); both timestamps come out as DateTimeKind.Utc (regression guard against a future refactor using DateTime.FromFileTimeUtc or similar that defaults to Unspecified). Driver.Galaxy.Proxy.Tests Unit suite: 17 pass / 0 fail (14 prior + 3 new). Full solution build clean, 0 errors.
Scope exclusions — DriverNodeManager HistoryRead service-handler wiring (on the OPC UA Server side, where HistoryReadAtTime and HistoryReadEvents service requests land) and the full-loop integration test (OPC UA client → server → IPC → Host → HistorianDataSource → back) are deferred to a focused follow-up PR. The capability surface is the load-bearing change; wiring the service handlers is mechanical in comparison and worth its own PR for reviewability. docs/v2/lmx-followups.md #1 updated with the split.
