- NodeManagerHistoryReadRawCapFuzzTests: 10k seeds (env OTOPCUA_PAGING_FUZZ_ITERATIONS)
through a real SDK node manager against wire-faithful fakes of SqlServer / QuestDB /
Gateway that enforce the backend half of the cap; random series with ties, random
windows (empty, on/past a tie, between samples, forward/reverse/end-only, bounds),
N in {0,1,2,small,huge}, cap in {off,3..1000}, tie budget {3,8,65536}. Pages must
concatenate to the cap-off one-shot answer (checked against the series), terminate
within values + 2 (+ one empty step per oversized boundary cluster), never exceed
the cap, never ask the backend for 0 / over-cap; refusals only past the budget.
- HistoryPaging.AdvertiseMaxReturnDataValues writes HistoryServerCapabilities/
MaxReturnDataValues (i=11273), read back through the SDK master node manager.
- MinMaxRawValuesPerRead raised to 3: at 2 a resumed page has no room (value + its
boundary tie + lookahead) and every value cost an empty page + CP (seed 15).
- RawPageLimit rows pin the default-cap arithmetic (9 999 first page, 9 998 resumed).
Fuzz findings recorded as follow-ups: a bounded read whose data fits one page
returns cap + 1 (end bound fitted against N, not the cap; node manager, F2);
the Gateway walk-back's cost on a sparse series under a tiny tie budget is
pre-existing (seed 320: 82 reads uncapped, 93 capped).

Item 1: IHistorianDataSource.MaxRawValuesPerRead (Gateway: learned ceiling - 16 = L; 0 elsewhere, guard-tested).
RawPageLimit plans every raw page on top of #692's lookahead: with L > 0 the read (page P + boundary ties k
+ lookahead) is <= L, P = min(N, L - k - 1) (uncapped: L - k - 1); no room => straight to the tie-cluster
over-fetch (never an uncapped or underflowing request). One re-plan + re-read when the read taught a new
limit or was refused for crowding pre-window rows (HistoryReadLimitExceededException.PreWindowRows): the
page shrinks by them. Over-fetch bound min(MaxTieClusterOverfetch, L - 1); slice size never 0.
Review fixes: F1 a window starting at/before the epoch counts AVEVA's synthetic row as pre-window (a
ceiling-truncated read was reported complete); F2 the page path disables ReverseRawReader's own re-run
(cold end-only ceiling 20/N=3000 cost 3,023 reads, now <= 40); F3 crowded look-back re-read around, not
refused; F4 the #687 crowding re-read room at least doubles (up to 8 re-reads), so a cluster of hundreds
just before a resume point no longer fails on a default gateway; a crowding refusal that leaves no room
is BadTooManyOperations, never a tick-by-tick cursor.
Item 2: ServerHistorian:EventReadHorizon (default 00:00:00 = exact, unchanged). When set, every fresh
HistoryReadEvents window's earlier bound is raised to now - horizon (both directions, all backends).
Lossy by design; documented.
Item 3 (native TimeAverage/Total re-check) stays blocked on historiangw#27.
