MAJOR-1: a deploy that changes a driver's config respawns it, and the fresh instance's empty told
record re-sent Raise for every still-active alarm, un-acking acknowledged conditions and writing a
duplicate "Activated" alerts row. NativeAlarmProjector now treats Raise on an already-active
condition as a re-statement (keeps Acked; ForwardNativeAlarm skips the alerts row); only Retrigger
(or inactive->active) un-acks. Sources whose upstream ack state is authoritative send Retrigger for
an unacked re-statement: OpcUaClient on first sight (no prior told), Galaxy for an unacked active
snapshot entry. Runtime E2E drives a FRESH FOCAS driver after a redeploy and asserts the ack survives.
MAJOR-2: a failed FOCAS alarm read annotates each subscribed condition BadNoCommunication once per
outage (#626 quality-only path) with one Warning (MINOR-6), lifted to Good on recovery; failed alarm
reads degrade driver health with LastSuccessfulRead frozen (successful ones advance it), so an
alarm-only driver trips the #527 comms-loss watchdog.
MINOR-3 CLAUDE.md #630 bullet; MINOR-4 split line; MINOR-5 a non-empty cnc_rdalmmsg2 payload that
fits neither stride throws; MINOR-7 value-tag + parsed-address tables are built and swapped, never
cleared in place under the retained poll engine. Docs corrected (FOCAS.md, AlarmTracking.md, CLAUDE.md).

An ALARM: address (*, <Type>, <Type>/<n>, <Type>/<lo>-<hi>, T<code>, OTHER) on a raw tag that
also carries the cross-driver alarm object is ONE condition with ConditionId == RawPath and a
Kind (Raise / Retrigger / Clear), so DriverHostActor.ForwardNativeAlarm routes it and
NativeAlarmProjector activates it. Fixes all seven triage defects:
1. SubscribeAlarmsAsync treated the host's RawPaths as device hosts -> nothing polled.
2. Decorated "{host}#{Type}:{Number}" ConditionId -> every event dropped.
3. No Kind -> projector kept prior state.
4. WireFocasClient.ReadAlarmsAsync answered [] on failure -> mass clear + un-acked re-raise.
It now throws; a failed device read keeps every condition's state.
5. Acks lost on reconnect -> told-record dedup (MTConnect #626 pattern) held for the driver's
lifetime; same-set re-subscribe / re-init re-raise nothing; changed set prunes leavers only.
6. Subscribe threw while AlarmProjection.Enabled=false -> the tag is the opt-in; flag is a no-op.
7. Alarm tags could not be authored -> ALARM: grammar (FocasAlarmSelector, Contracts) backs the
editor, the address picker, the deploy-time inspector and driver init.
Severity: authored alarm.severity -> exact OpcUaSeverity; else the 16i-era type bucket. The type
table stays the only one (moved to Contracts, documented 16i-era; 30i codes not invented; raw
T<code> selector + raw code in every message). Read-only: ack is server-side. Also clears the
value table on a re-initialise (#630 gap that let a removed/moved tag keep reading).
E2E: Runtime.Tests FocasNativeAlarmEndToEndTests drives the real driver through the real
DriverHostActor and asserts the condition goes Active then inactive.

Re-review of 3de2cc3b/454775c6:
- AlarmTransitions could not reach (inactive, unacked): (active,acked)->(inactive,unacked) emitted Clear
(host stayed acked) and a first-seen cleared-unacked condition emitted nothing. The table is now total;
an exhaustive test replays every (prior, target) pair through the projector's semantics.
- The per-RawPath read-compute-emit was a lock-free TryGetValue/set across SDK publish threads; it now runs
under one lock with the projection and emission.
- Condition BRANCH events (non-null BranchId) were projected (flipping the trunk) and remembered as the ack
target (acking the branch); they are dropped. BranchId is select clause 9.
- EventId is copied, not aliased from the decoded notification.
- An unchanged state re-emitted Unspecified; it now emits nothing unless message/severity changed (an
Unspecified projects from the host projector's default after a redeploy reset it).
- Exact upstream severity rides OpcUaSeverity (#626) instead of being re-bucketed.
- ShutdownAsync no longer forgets the last-told state: a reinit re-subscribes the same set and the refresh
would otherwise re-raise every acked alarm. A CHANGED set (host rebuilt) forgets it.
ConditionRefresh: called after the alarm event item is created, after an in-place reconnect (subscriptions
found on the new session by display name, since a recreate clones them) and on RefreshRequired. Refresh
markers are never projected. BadNotSupported/BadMethodInvalid/... logs once. Wire test: a condition already
active before subscribe is reported Raise; a release+resubscribe refresh re-raises nothing (falsified by
disabling the refresh call).

Found while verifying item 4 of #641. The host routes a native alarm transition
on an exact ConditionId == RawPath match (DriverHostActor.ForwardNativeAlarm),
but AbCipAlarmProjection emitted "{ref}#active" and no Kind, so every ALMD
raise/clear was dropped as "no alarm condition" — and even if routed, an
Unspecified kind projects no state change. It now reports the subscribed
reference (the RawPath) and Raise/Clear. A host test pins that a decorated id
is dropped.
FOCAS has the same id shape plus a device filter keyed by host address (a
RawPath subscription polls nothing); it needs a mapping decision and is
documented in docs/drivers/FOCAS.md rather than patched here.

The driver cleared its whole "last told" record whenever the subscribed alarm
set changed, assuming the rebuild that accompanies an alarm-bearing delta had
reset every condition node. The server now carries each surviving native
condition's state (acknowledgement included) across the rebuild, so re-raising a
survivor would un-acknowledge it. Only entries that left the set are dropped; a
condition that comes back later is told again onto its fresh node.

NativeAlarmProjector derives Active/Acked ONLY from AlarmEventArgs.Kind, and this driver
never set it - every routed event projected Unspecified, leaving the condition inactive+acked
(only Message/Severity moved). The live-gate expectation 'toggling Active as opc-plc cycles'
could not have passed. Select ActiveState/Id + AckedState/Id (two-element browse paths) and
emit the Kind sequence that moves the projector from the state last told to the host to the
event's (Raise+Acknowledge when a notification carries both).

The alarm index was keyed on ns=N strings resolved once at subscribe time, while an
in-place SDK reconnect transfers the subscription without re-running it - a remote
namespace reorder silently orphaned every alarm tag. Keys are now nsu= on both sides.
Events match the authored nodeId against the event's ConditionId first, then its
SourceNode, so several conditions on one source can be authored 1:1. Acknowledge
passes the EventId of the event that named the remembered condition (paired, so node
and EventId can never come from different conditions) instead of an empty one.

MTConnectConditionAlarmWireTests drives a scripted Agent's Fault/Normal through the real
driver, NativeAlarmProjector and sink to a client event subscription on the raw device
folder. docs/drivers/MTConnect.md replaces 'CONDITION v1: plain String' with the alarm
mapping, opt-in authoring, multi-condition, ack, replay and comms-loss behaviour, and a
live-check recipe; EVENT vocabularies as enumerations marked won't-fix. AlarmTracking.md
lists the MTConnect source and the two new AlarmEventArgs fields.

MINOR-3: new DriverHostActorPrimaryRoleSourceTests case drives the
deny flip with a real ClusterEvent.MemberUp on the EventStream (how the
cluster's domain-event publisher reaches a Cluster.Subscribe subscriber)
instead of a direct RepublishPrimaryVerdict tell; it fails when the
Cluster.Subscribe(IMemberEvent) call is deleted.
MINOR-2: the published verdict MIRRORS the live gate; before this node has
joined its member count is 0 and both allow (seconds; up to the bootstrap
guard's 25 s probe), so the Sparkplug primary-host claim can be held on
both nodes in that window (native ack is unaffected - view and route
agree). Behaviour deliberately unchanged: denying until self is Up would
change the live gate too and delay writes/acks on a single-node cluster's
own join. Comments + AlarmTracking.md / Redundancy.md / Mqtt.md corrected.

MAJOR-1: R4's exact element-type match refused ScadaBridge's CLR-list
writes (its element types are only Boolean/Int32/Float/Double/String/
DateTime) to every Int16/UInt16/Byte/UInt32/Int64/UInt64 array node and a
Double list to a Float array. EvaluateEquipmentWriteStructure now converts
a numeric array of another numeric element type element-wise, CHECKED, into
the node's element type and hands the converted array back through
OnEquipmentTagWrite's ref value, so the node stores and the driver receives
the node's own type. Any out-of-range, fractional-to-integer, NaN/Inf-to-
integer or Float-overflowing element refuses the whole write BadTypeMismatch
(nothing dispatched) - so the UInt32 -> Int32 bit reinterpretation stays
closed. Non-numeric mismatches stay refused. The wrong 'no client relies on
a looser rule' comment is corrected.
MINOR-1: the array-value-to-scalar-node refusal broke writes back to
browse-committed array tags (committed scalar, isArray never set) on
pass-through drivers. It now applies only when the owning driver's scalar
encoder cannot take an array (DriverArrayWriteSupport.
RefusesArrayValueOnScalarTag: Modbus, S7), carried RawTagPlan.
ScalarRefusesArrayValue / UnsReferenceVariable.BackingScalarRefusesArrayValue
-> EnsureVariable(refuseArrayOnScalar) -> a per-node set in the node
manager. OpcUaClient/Galaxy/others keep pre-#610 dispatch. Not on the
classifier whitelist (driver-type edit rebuilds); a mirror whose flag
changes is recreated, not updated in place.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
MAJOR-1: the SDK skips TypeInfo.IsInstanceOfDataType on any node with an
OnWriteValue handler (every writable equipment node), and the node manager's
fail-fast treated numeric<->numeric as compatible, so a UInt32[] to a Galaxy
Int32 array matched MxValueEncoder's int[] arm by CLR covariance and was
written bit-reinterpreted with a Good result. EvaluateEquipmentWriteStructure
now matches an ARRAY write's element type exactly (Byte[]/ByteString the only
equivalence; Variant[]/object[] refused) -> BadTypeMismatch, nothing
dispatched. MxValueEncoder's int[]/long[] arms are exact-type guarded too, and
the Galaxy parity test's false "the SDK refuses" premise is corrected (the
UInt32/UInt64 exclusion is now the encoder's own answer). Scalar writes keep
numeric widening by decision: consumers write CLR-typed values (Double to a
Float node) and every driver's scalar encoder range-checks.
MINOR: Modbus row honours maxRegistersPerWrite (smallest of DriverConfig /
the tag's DeviceConfig, default 123) and FC15's 1968-coil ceiling, and
requires region + numeric address; Modbus/S7/Galaxy require isArray + integer
arrayLength >= 1 (Galaxy: an unbounded node would let a short write resize the
attribute); an array value to a scalar node is refused inline. Docs: Uns.md
array-write rules + upgrade note (ReadWrite array tags become client-writable
on first boot), Modbus.md, Galaxy.md.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
Array nodes were forced read-only for every driver. A new single authority,
Core.Abstractions DriverArrayWriteSupport, says which (driver, element type)
pairs encode a whole-array write: Modbus (Coils / numeric HoldingRegisters),
S7 (Byte/Int16/UInt16/Int32/UInt32/Float32), OpcUaClient (pass-through) and
Galaxy (Boolean/Int32/Int64/Float/Double/String/DateTime). Everything else
stays read-only, so the server never advertises a write the driver refuses.
- Composer derives RawTagPlan.ArrayWritable + UnsReferenceVariable
.BackingArrayWritable at compose time (both seams, byte-parity); the
applier's one writability rule is Writable && (!IsArray || ArrayWritable)
for materialise and surgical paths, raw and UNS alike.
- ArrayWritable is on the classifier's surgical raw-tag whitelist and
mirrored on the UNS record (UnsReferenceBackingParityTests updated).
- Node manager refuses a wrong-length / non-array value on an array node
(BadTypeMismatch) and any IndexRange write (BadWriteNotSupported) inline,
before dispatch; WriteOperate/ACL gates and the revert are unchanged.
- Per-driver parity tests pin the table against the real Modbus write path,
S7 EncodeArrayBlock and Galaxy MxValueEncoder (UInt32/UInt64 excluded:
array covariance reinterprets their bits).
- Over-the-wire proof in OpcUaServer.IntegrationTests (ArrayWriteWireTests).
- ValueRank > 1 documented as out of scope by decision (docs/Uns.md).
