Coordinator rulings and Important findings from review r0:
1. FC23 is opt-in (new UseFC23ForMultiRegisterWrites, default false); a config
without it - including the persisted "disableFC23": false every form-saved
config carries - keeps the FC16 wire. DisableFC23 stays the hard kill-switch.
2. An explicit maxReadGap 0 means coalescing off again (its pre-lane meaning);
the gap-8 default applies only to an absent key.
3. Coils/DiscreteInputs tags persisted with a register dataType (the old
editor saved Int16) are coerced to Bool, never refused, with no deploy
warning (a warning can be promoted to a blocking error). The editor loads
them as Bool. Register region + Bool is still refused.
4. One comms-fault slot for reads and writes: a good read clears a write's
transport fault and vice versa.
Minors: Dispose writes its own Unknown health (m1); persisted region/address
are authoritative over addressString so a Family change cannot remap a live
tag (m2); a malformed-but-delivered reply no longer fails the unit fast (m3);
a fresh socket published after a concurrent dispose is torn down (m4); the
editor resets address text per tag (m5); master merged (m6); the FC23 latch
log says re-init restores it (m7). Back-compat tests use the old persisted
JSON shapes and fail without the fixes.

U2: MaxReadGap defaults to 8 and 0 now means adjacent-only rather than
off; a new DisableReadCoalescing switch (factory DTO + AdminUI form) turns it
off entirely. The planner also merges Coils/DiscreteInputs (FC01/FC02, gap in
bits), String scalars and BitInRegister tags - sixteen bit tags on one status
word are one FC03 instead of sixteen. Auto-prohibition and its re-probe /
bisection use the region's own function code (a coil range was re-probed
with FC04).
