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).

H4: exception 01/02/03 (and undecodable data) are device refusals - per-tag
Bad with a once-per-tag Warning, no Degraded, and they advance
LastSuccessfulRead (the device answered), so an all-refused driver no longer
trips the 90 s watchdog. 04/05/06 still degrade (answered); 0A/0B degrade
without advancing. Health is one worst-wins write per batch instead of
last-writer-wins per tag. A comms failure on one unit fails the rest of
that unit's batch fast; an unreachable endpoint fails the whole batch fast.
H7: write transport failures map to BadCommunicationError, value overflow and
array length mismatch to BadOutOfRange, conversion failures to
BadTypeMismatch; writes report write-side health (a good write or a refusal
clears a write-side Degraded; a good read does not).
Lifecycle: every health write and the transport/table publish carry a
generation; a superseded init releases its transport and publishes nothing,
a read straddling a re-init cannot degrade the new transport, and the
shutdown's final write cannot clobber a newer init. The tag table is
build-and-swapped (re-init no longer merges into the old table). Teardown
joins the probe/re-probe loops (bounded); a probe answer advances
LastSuccessfulRead and an exception PDU from the device counts as Running.
Transports latch dispose atomically and never reconnect after it.
