Review r0 M9. The AdminUI form wrote coalesceReads:true on every save, pinning
today's default into every edited driver. AbLegacyDriverOptions.CoalesceReads
is now bool? (null = default ON, never serialised, same encoding as
Transport); the form omits the key when the switch is on and writes only an
explicit false. Persisted coalesceReads:true keeps loading as on.

Review 07 P7 (rest): adjacent words on one data file were never coalesced
(one round trip per tag) although the array path proves the transport can read
a span. Within a device pass, scalar tags on one N/B/F/L file within 8
elements of each other (block <= 200 data bytes, under the 236-byte typed-read
limit) now ride one multi-element read and are decoded from their offsets with
exactly the CLR types the single-tag path returns (int / float / bool).
Only shapes the single path decodes identically are coalesced: indirect,
sub-element, array, file-number-less (S:/I:/O:) and width-mismatched tags keep
the single path. A block the device refuses (an authored element past the end
of the file, a native PLC-5 non-N file) falls back to per-tag reads for its
members and its shape is remembered; a comms fault fails the members together.
New driver-config key coalesceReads (default true) with an AdminUI switch
(Razor change: AbLegacyDriverForm, for the Wave 4 live check). Adds an
env-gated ab_server parity case (coalesced == per-tag values).

On a wire the native PCCC path is proven only for N-file reads/writes and
one F8 read (ab_server). An absent transport key now resolves to Libplctag
for every family; explicit Native still wins and still warns once per
instance on PLC-5/LogixPccc. AdminUI dropdown, CLI help, evidence claims
(PcccFileType, AbLegacy.md wire-evidence table, release note) corrected:
S:0 (default probe) and B/T/C/R/S/L/ST/A/O/I are unverified natively.

Task 22 (spec section 8 P5), with the controller rulings that exclude PLC-5 and LogixPccc.
- Transport is nullable on both option records; null (key absent) means "use the default" and is
never serialized. Factory DTO parse: absent -> null; a bad value still fails via ParseEnum.
- One resolver per driver (AbCipTransportResolver / AbLegacyTransportResolver), used by the driver
constructor, the Test Connect probe and (through the driver) the CLI.
AbCip: null -> Native. AbLegacy: null -> Native unless any device is Plc5 or LogixPccc, then the
whole driver resolves to Libplctag. Explicit values always win; explicit Native with a
Plc5/LogixPccc device logs one Warning at init.
- Init log shows configured vs effective, e.g. transport=Native (default).
- AdminUI forms: "Default (...)" / "Native (managed)" / "libplctag (fallback)". Default omits the
key on save (reverses Task 19's explicit re-emit, which would have pinned every edited driver).
- CLIs: --transport default|native|libplctag, default "default" via the resolver, so
--plc-type Plc5 with no --transport runs libplctag.
- Tests pinned to Libplctag where a default-path runtime was created: found by instrumenting the
native factories with the current xUnit test name (one unit test, AbLegacyReinitConfigAdoption;
plus the two fixture-gated AbCip probe E2E tests whose exact messages were proven on libplctag).
TransportMatrix and the differential harness already pass explicit transports.
- Switch/resolver/CLI/form tests are falsified by mutating the resolver (default -> Libplctag,
exclusion removed, AbLegacy default -> Libplctag): each mutation turns them red.
- Replaces the inline role-name literal in AbCipDriverFactoryExtensions' ParseEnum call with a named
constant; RoleAuthorityGuardTests was already red on the base commit for that line.
- Docs: AbCip.md / AbLegacy.md default + release note; CLAUDE.md AB section.

- AbCip/AbLegacy driver forms gain a Transport InputSelect; FromOptions/ToOptions now carry
Transport, so saving any other field no longer silently reverts Native to libplctag.
- Both drivers log the constructed transport once per init.
- AbCip factory now takes the host ILoggerFactory (it ran on NullLogger in production, hiding
every AbCip log line); DriverFactoryBootstrap passes it.
- Gate results: AdminUI /run (T19) native, inverted (dead port) and libplctag legs.
Extract the 8 typed driver pages into embeddable <Driver>DriverForm bodies
(channel/protocol config) and add per-driver <Driver>DeviceForm bodies
(connection endpoint -> Device.DeviceConfig, v3 endpoint split). New
DriverConfigModal + DeviceModal dispatch by DriverType (DriverTypeNames) for
the /raw tree; Test-connect inside DeviceModal builds the merged Driver+Device
config transiently via DriverDeviceConfigMerger. Routed pages now host the
form bodies and keep working. Round-trip + enum-serialization guard tests for
the Modbus driver form + Modbus device model; retargeted the existing
page-form serialization tests + the _jsonOpts converter guard to the forms.
