MeshGrpcBoundaryTests replaces the MeshClusterClientBoundaryTests deleted in step 1. Three
self-seeded single-member clusters sharing the ActorSystem name, joined ONLY by gRPC, driving
the REAL CentralCommunicationActor -> MeshGrpcCommandDialer -> Kestrel h2c ->
MeshCommandAuthInterceptor -> NodeCommandGrpcService -> NodeCommunicationActor -> EventStream:
1. No_cross_mesh_Akka_association_forms_between_central_and_either_site — the program's own
point, kept as a test rather than a live-gate note: each cluster stays single-member and
none ever holds another's address as a member.
2. One_dispatch_through_central_reaches_a_node_in_every_cluster_mesh — the fan, with each
site holding its OWN per-cluster PSK, so a dial that selected the wrong cluster's key
would be refused at the far side.
3. Falsifiability_control_a_dial_carrying_the_wrong_cluster_key_delivers_nothing — without
it, (2) cannot distinguish "the gRPC boundary carried it" from "something else in the
process did". The same node then accepts the right key, so the silence is the auth gate
and not a dead endpoint.
All three run fully offline — no Docker fixture — and pass.
Comment sweep across every remaining clusterclient|receptionist hit in src/ and tests/:
the program label becomes "mesh gRPC command plane", and every comment that described the
deleted transport as live now describes what actually runs (Dps = pair-local default,
Grpc = cross-mesh). mesh_transport.proto's header/service comments are reworded; no message,
field or enum is touched — the contract is locked. MeshCommActorPathTests is reshaped rather
than retired: the two paths still exist and still matter, but what a mismatch costs is now a
misleading Unavailable from the gRPC ingress rather than a silently dropped receptionist send.
The only surviving mentions of the old names are the ones that must survive: the fail-closed
rules that name "ClusterClient" as a retired value refused at boot, their tests, and this
test class's own account of what it replaces.
CRITICAL. The ack deadline was one absolute DateTime computed once for the whole
endpoint walk. Against the characteristic WAN failure — a central that HANGS
(SYN black-hole, frozen host) rather than refusing — endpoint 1 burned the whole
AckTimeoutSeconds and endpoint 2 was then dialled with a deadline already in the
past: instant DeadlineExceeded, no packet leaving the node, the surviving central
never really tried. Failover looked like it ran and did not. It also contradicted
MeshTransportOptions' own documented "applied per endpoint, not per ack". The
deadline is now computed fresh inside the loop; headers stay hoisted (read-only,
sequential walk).
Two test gaps that let that survive are closed: nothing pinned the ackRouter gate
(narrowing it back to ClusterClient-only compiled and passed every test while
dead-ending every Grpc ack to DPS), and the deadline fact's lower bound accepted
any positive timeout at all. Both new pins are mutation-verified.
Docs corrected where they overstated the case: duplicate acks CANNOT mis-seal a
deployment — ConfigPublishCoordinator.HandleAck keys _acks by NodeId behind an
expected-set guard, so a duplicate overwrites its own entry. The single-endpoint
rule is defence in depth and a bound on wasted work, not a correctness
dependency; and the walk is at-least-once on the deadline path, not at-most-once.
Both defects were found by #491's live gate against a real HistorianGateway and filed rather than
fixed at the time, because each one's fix is a design decision rather than a patch.
#537 — both nodes of a redundant pair captured every value, so the historian received duplicate
live samples for every historized tag (measured: the gateway's write counter advanced twice per
value and halved when one central was stopped).
The recorder now reads a capture gate per value, fed from the new
PrimaryGatePolicy.ShouldRecordHistorizedValues through IHistorizationRoleView — a third verdict on
the same RedundancyRoleView object, registered unconditionally on driver nodes rather than
alongside the alarm section's IRedundancyRoleView (which only exists when that section is enabled;
piggybacking is the #511 registration accident).
Two things are deliberate and easy to get backwards:
* It gates the CAPTURE, not the drain — the opposite of the alarm sink. That queue is in LocalDb
and replicates, so the Secondary already holds the Primary's rows. The historization outbox is
a node-local FasterLog replicating to nobody, so a drain-only gate would leave the standby
appending forever to a queue no one empties: unbounded disk, then a flood of stale duplicates
the moment it is promoted. Entries a node already captured are still drained by that node.
* The peer it stands down for must RECORD THE SAME REFS, not merely hold the same rows — a
Primary in this node's own per-cluster mesh. A node carrying no cluster-scoped role cannot
establish that and never stands down: under a fleet-wide election the elected Primary is
usually running a different cluster's configuration, and deferring to it would end this
cluster's historization silently, with the drain reporting success on an empty outbox forever.
That is the scope mismatch that once suspended the alarm drain on every node of the rig.
An unknown role captures, matching the alarm drain — a duplicate sample is recoverable, a hole in
the trend is not.
#538 — the drain writes every per-tag group and then acks all-or-nothing (deliberate: RemoveAsync
truncates THROUGH an id, so partial acking could drop older unwritten entries). One permanently
failing tag therefore pinned the FIFO head while every healthy tag in the batch was re-submitted
to the historian on every pass, indefinitely — duplicate samples and an outbox that never
truncated, observed live at 8.3 MB from a single unprovisionable tag.
The drain now tracks consecutive failures per historian tag and abandons that tag's entries once
it exceeds MaxWriteAttempts (new, default 5), so the head advances. The counter only advances on a
pass where some OTHER tag wrote successfully: that is what separates "this tag is poison" from
"the backend is down". A count-only quarantine looks identical on the poison-tag case and silently
discards the whole backlog during an ordinary gateway restart, turning a duplicate-samples bug
into a lost-history one. Abandonment is also deferred until every failing tag is over budget, so
nothing is discarded on a pass that could not have advanced the head anyway. Each abandonment logs
a Warning naming the tag; the total rides RecorderStatus.AbandonedEntries.
Capacity also gains a non-zero default (500,000 entries) as the disk backstop for the one case the
quarantine deliberately cannot resolve — a historian refusing every write, where retaining is
correct. Set 0 to restore unbounded retention.
Every new test was falsified by reverting the production change it guards, and each one reddens
alone:
* drop the backend-reachable evidence -> only A_backend_that_fails_every_tag_abandons_nothing
* never abandon -> only A_permanently_failing_tag_is_abandoned_so_healthy_tags_stop_being_rewritten
* latch the capture gate at construction -> only The_capture_gate_is_re_read_per_value...
* treat any Primary as a scope peer -> only the two scope-mismatch cases
Full suite green. (Four OpcUaClient.Browser failures during the run were the opc-plc fixture being
down on the shared Docker host; brought it back up and they pass.)

Layer 4 of the condition-Quality chain (#477 -> #478). #478 gave a scripted
condition the worst quality of its input tags, but only for inputs whose driver
PUBLISHES a Bad data change. A poll driver whose device goes unreachable
publishes nothing — it raises ConnectivityChanged(false) and goes silent — so
the engine held its last Good value, WorstInputStatus stayed Good, and worse,
AreInputsReady stayed true, so the predicate went on evaluating a stale value
after the source had died.
`DriverHostActor.FanCommsLossToDependencyMux` pushes a synthetic
BadNoCommunication with a null value into the dependency mux for every value ref
the disconnected driver owns.
The issue asked for a driver -> all-tag-refs map to be built for this. It
already exists: `_nodeIdByDriverRef`, keyed (DriverInstanceId, RawPath) and
rebuilt from the composition on every apply. Alarm-bearing tags live in the
separate `_alarmNodeIdByDriverRef` and are deliberately excluded — a native
condition is not a mux value and takes the Part 9 quality path instead.
Nothing is pushed on reconnect, deliberately: publishing Good would assert a
value quality this actor has not observed. Recovery rides the driver's own
republish, and the mechanism was verified rather than assumed — the
Connected -> Reconnecting edge calls DetachSubscription, which nulls the
subscription handle, so the reconnect's ResubscribeDesired builds a FRESH
subscription whose PollGroupEngine initial push runs with forceRaise: true.
Without that detach the poll engine would compare against its retained
LastValues, see an unchanged value, raise nothing, and strand these refs Bad
forever — the value-dedup trap that bit the v3 Batch 4 virtual-tag reassert.
Closes#478 Finding 3, which the above depends on. WorstInputStatus skipped
every input whose VALUE was null as "no data yet" — and Bad-with-no-value is
exactly the shape a comms-lost driver produces, so the skip was hiding the case
that matters most; without this half the fan-out above would be silently inert.
The upstream source now stamps a never-pushed path BadWaitingForInitialData —
the honest Part 4 code for that state — and the engine skips that specific code
rather than every null value.
Deleting the null-skip outright is the obvious fix and is wrong in the other
direction: it makes every not-yet-published input drag its condition Bad at
deploy, flooding the quality path with load-time annotations, which is what the
skip existed to prevent. Both mistakes are pinned by a test pair that goes red
under the opposite error, and both were falsified by reverting the production
code:
old null-skip restored -> A_pushed_Bad_carrying_no_value RED
null-skip deleted outright -> An_input_that_was_never_pushed RED
fan-out call removed -> the three DriverHostActor tests RED (1 of 7)
The never-pushed test was vacuous on first writing and is worth recording: the
quality bucket only emits on CHANGE, so the load-time evaluation is the one that
flashes Bad, and subscribing to OnEvent after LoadAsync made the assertion
unfalsifiable — it passed against the broken behaviour. It now subscribes first.
`FakeUpstream.ReadTag` returned 0x80340000 (BadNotConnected) for an unset path,
a different Bad code from production's placeholder. Harmless while any Bad
behaved alike; load-bearing now, so it is aligned and pinned by a reflection
guard asserting the engine's private constant agrees with what the production
source stamps.
Behaviour change to weigh, flagged in the issue and confirmed: virtual tags
computed from a comms-lost input now go Bad too. That follows from using the
shared mux and reads as correct, but it is broader than scripted alarms.

Both `IDriver` members had no production call site. Their only consumer was
`MemoryTracking`, deleted with the driver-tier recycle machinery in #522, and
`GetMemoryFootprint`'s doc-comment claimed "polled every 30s by Core" — which
had not been true since v3, even before #522 removed the poller.
Owner decision on #525 was (a) delete rather than (b) build the process-wide
watchdog that would consume them. The driver-side implementations are in git
history and were mostly reusable; what was always missing is the trigger, and a
member nobody calls is how the misleading doc-comment survived this long.
Removed from `IDriver`, all 12 driver implementations, and every test stub —
plus the support code that existed only to feed them, which is the part a
member-only deletion would have left behind as dead weight:
- MTConnect's three per-entry byte-weight constants, its cached
`ProbeModelDataItemCount`, and `CountDataItems` — a full device-tree walk run
on every cache fill to populate a number with no remaining reader.
- OpcUaClient's `_discoveredNodeCount` field and the discovery-pass write to it.
- MQTT's `ApproxBytesPerAuthoredTag`.
Two behavioural notes, neither a change in what the software does:
- `AbCipTemplateCache` now has no production reset path. Its only caller was
AB CIP's flush, which itself had no caller — so nothing changes except how
visible the fact is. Recorded on the type, along with the correction that its
comment's claim about a device `ReinitializeAsync` also flushing it was never
true. A UDT redefined on a live controller keeps its stale shape until the
driver instance is rebuilt.
- MTConnect's `/probe` cache is still dropped, by `InvalidateProbeModel()` on an
Agent restart. That is now `internal` rather than `private` so the tests which
used the flush purely to empty the cache drive the real path instead — they
now cover a case that actually occurs in production. Several unrelated doc
comments cited `FlushOptionalCachesAsync` as the canonical CAS example and are
repointed to it.
Tests: the ones that existed only to assert on the removed members are deleted
(3 OpcUaClient, 3 Galaxy, 2 MQTT, 1 MTConnect, 1 AbCip). Worth noting one was
vacuous — `FlushOptionalCachesAsync_resets_footprint_counter` asserted a
footprint of 0 before the flush and 0 after with no discovery in between, so it
would have passed against a flush that did nothing at all.
Full suite green except 7 failures verified identical on master before and
after (4 AbLegacy integration with the compose profile down, 3
Host.IntegrationTests), checked by name rather than assumed.
Docs corrected where they described this as live: `DriverLifecycle.md` (which
carried the #525 placeholder), `drivers/AbCip.md`, `drivers/AbLegacy.md`, and
`v2/driver-stability.md` — whose "polls this every 30 s" + per-driver
`DriverConfig` memory budget were never built as written and are now banner-ed
as design intent rather than description.

`ActAsPrimaryHost` was accepted by config and by the AdminUI form and did nothing but
log a warning. It now delivers the whole three-part contract or none of it: a retained
`ONLINE` on `spBv1.0/STATE/{hostId}`, a matching retained `OFFLINE` armed as the MQTT
Last Will, and an explicit `OFFLINE` on a clean stand-down.
**The claim is a dedicated connection, not a message.** A Will can only be registered in
the CONNECT packet — it cannot be added to a live session, changed, or withdrawn. So a
claim that is acquired and released at runtime cannot ride the long-lived ingest session.
`SparkplugPrimaryHost` opens its own connection (client id `{clientId}-spbhost`, forced
clean-session) when the node gains Primary and closes it when the node loses Primary; the
connection's lifetime *is* the claim, so every leg follows from its lifecycle. Ingest is
untouched by a role change — no dropped subscriptions, no lost birth cache, no data gap at
the Secondary->Primary transition.
**Primary-gated** (owner decision, recorded on the issue). Both pair nodes subscribe
independently, so an ungated claim means both claim the same host id — and the sharp
failure is not the two fighting over the retained STATE, it is that the SECONDARY's death
fires its Will and publishes OFFLINE while the Primary is healthy, stopping every edge node
in the group. Registering the Will only on whichever node is Primary at connect time fails
the other way: a node that later gains Primary would publish ONLINE with no Will behind it.
New seam: `IDriverPrimaryRoleSource` (`Core.Abstractions`) carrying the *data-plane* verdict
(`PrimaryGatePolicy.ShouldServiceAsPrimary`), not the alarm-drain verdict — an unknown role
with a driver peer present must deny. Registered unconditionally by `AddOtOpcUaRuntime`,
deliberately NOT alongside `IRedundancyRoleView`, which `AddAlarmHistorian` registers only
when that section is enabled: piggybacking would leave a pair with no alarm historian
falling back to "claim unconditionally". Polled on a 1s timer rather than evented — a
process singleton raising events at per-instance drivers outlives every driver it holds.
Accepted trade: a brief edge-visible OFFLINE window during failover. That is a genuine
state transition, not a glitch to hide.
Live-gated 5/5 against the Mosquitto fixture, including the Will leg — `AbandonForTests`
drops the socket with no DISCONNECT, because a clean disconnect makes the broker discard
the Will by protocol rule, so a test driven through `StopAsync` would observe the
stand-down OFFLINE and pass against an implementation that never armed a Will. Falsified:
removing the Will turns that leg and only that leg red.
Also corrects two stale claims found en route: the AdminUI form still said MQTT tags are
read-only (#508 shipped), and the driver doc still said nothing consumes `IRediscoverable`.

#519 — a driver's OPC UA status code now reaches a client with its sub-code intact.
DriverInstanceActor projected the driver's uint onto a 3-state Good/Uncertain/Bad enum
and OtOpcUaNodeManager re-expanded Bad to a bare 0x80000000, so BadNoCommunication,
BadTypeMismatch and BadNotSupported were indistinguishable on the wire and every
driver's status constants (incl. the 16 #497 had just corrected) were diagnostic in
logs only. Resolved by option (b): the raw uint rides AttributeValuePublished ->
AttributeValueUpdate -> IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink.WriteValue, OpcUaQuality is deleted, and
severity classification is a helper (OpcUaStatus.IsGood/IsUncertain/IsBad).
The surface was wider than the issue costed (41 files, not "the sink and 3
implementations"): OpcUaQuality had non-driver producers with no uint to carry.
Each got its natural code — BadInternalError for a failed virtual-tag script,
BadNoCommunication for driver comms loss — and ScriptedAlarmHostActor's pair of
mutually-inverse uint<->enum mappers is deleted, having round-tripped a code the
engine already held. AddressSpaceApplier's removal writes deliberately keep the
generic Bad: not losing a code the driver had is this issue; inventing one for the
deploy path is a separate call.
Behaviour change: WriteAlarmQuality fires its Part 9 event on a status-code change
rather than a severity-bucket change. While the annotation was 3-state those were the
same predicate; now a move between two Bad reasons changes what a subscriber reads.
New SDK-free named constants live on Commons.OpcUa.OpcUaStatus, and
StatusCodeParityTests is widened to cover them — that guard is reflection-driven, so
it can only see a named constant, never an inline literal.
#517 — the symptom is real but the issue named the wrong path and its fix was unsafe.
ShutdownAsync cannot race: DriverInstanceActor calls it from PostStop, after the
mailbox drains. (Core/Hosting/DriverHost, the one class with a concurrent GetHealth,
has no production call site.) InitializeAsync can: it runs on a fire-and-forget
Task.Run, and MTConnectDriver writes Healthy then starts loops that can throw into a
catch which disposes the client before writing Faulted.
Moving the write earlier, as suggested, inverts the terminal state — teardown drains
in-flight loops that write health as they unwind, so a late loop could leave Healthy at
rest with every connection closed. The fix is a bracket (conservative before, terminal
after), applied to MTConnect's init-failure path only; shutdown keeps its single
trailing write, and the rule plus the reachability table are documented on
IDriver.ShutdownAsync.
CalculationDriver.GetHealth returned a hard-coded Healthy that consulted nothing —
Healthy before initialize, after shutdown and after dispose. Now derived from _running.
Its test, named Health_is_always_Connected, asserted the defect and is replaced.
Every new guard was falsified by breaking the production code and watching it go red.
The two sub-code tests each assert two different Bad codes, since a single-code
assertion could pass against a hard-coded constant under the old projection.
Pre-existing failures, verified unchanged on a stashed tree and not chased: 4 in
Driver.AbLegacy.IntegrationTests (slc500/micrologix/plc5 fixtures not up) and 3 in
Host.IntegrationTests.

Five drivers ignored the config handed to them on reinitialize, serving the
options their constructor captured — and the deployment sealed green anyway.
Fixed on both halves, as chosen.
Seam (load-bearing): DriverSpawnPlanner routes a changed DriverConfig to
ToStop + ToSpawn instead of an in-place delta, making the factory the single
parse authority. This REVERSES the deliberate decision documented at
DriverSpawnPlan.cs:49-50 ("a pure DriverConfig change stays an in-place delta
— no reconnect"). That reasoning was correct about the resilience pipeline and
wrong about the driver. The accepted price is a reconnect per config edit.
Per-driver, and this split was not anticipated:
- Re-parse in place — Modbus, AbLegacy, OpcUaClient. ParseOptions extracted
from each factory, called from InitializeAsync behind a HasConfigBody guard
so "{}" still keeps the constructor options.
- Respawn-only, deliberately NOT re-parsed — Sql and FOCAS. Each builds more
than options from config (Sql's dialect + resolved connection string,
FOCAS's client-factory backend, both injected at construction), so adopting
new options alone would run a NEW tag set against an OLD connection. Half a
re-parse is worse than none. SqlDriver's doc-comment asserted the opposite
premise — "config parsing belongs to the factory, which builds a fresh
instance" — which was false when written and is true only now.
Two green seals removed from ApplyChildDelta: it overwrote the cached Spec
synchronously BEFORE the child dequeued the message, so the host believed the
new config was live and the next reconcile computed no delta, sealing the
drift permanently; and it Tell'd with no Receive<ApplyResult> registered, so a
failed reinit — including Galaxy's deliberate NotSupportedException —
dead-lettered.
Exposed (not created) by the change: a factory throw is a CONFIG error, and
SpawnChild catches it and silently substitutes a stub. Only a brand-new driver
could reach that before; an ordinary config edit can now. Raised Warning ->
Error with an actionable message. It still does not fail the deployment —
doing so would let one malformed driver block a fleet deploy, so that is a
follow-up rather than a drive-by.
Tests: every pre-existing reinit test in these suites passes "{}", the exact
input a guarded re-parser treats as "keep constructor options" — blind to this
defect by construction. New tests pass CHANGED json; the Modbus one was
verified falsifiable by deleting the re-parse (goes red). Two tests asserted
the old behaviour and were rewritten, including the positive control in
DriverHostActorUnreadableArtifactTests, whose observable moved from
UnsubscribeAsync to ShutdownAsync now that teardown happens by stopping the
child rather than emptying its desired set.
Remaining full-suite failures are pre-existing and environmental, verified
identical on the pre-change tree: Host.IntegrationTests (3) and
Driver.AbLegacy.IntegrationTests (4, docker fixture-gated).
#507 was filed as "injection inert in v3, re-migrate onto the raw subtree".
Reading it, the retained code is not revivable: it resolves equipment from
EquipmentNode.DriverInstanceId UNION EquipmentTags, and BOTH are structurally
empty in v3 (AddressSpaceComposer always constructs EquipmentNode with a null
DriverInstanceId; DeploymentArtifact hard-codes an empty EquipmentTags set).
Removing the guard would have changed a log line and injected nothing. So it
is deleted rather than fixed, and #507 closes as superseded by /raw
browse-commit.
Removed: HandleDiscoveredNodes, PartitionDiscoveredByDeviceHost,
ShouldWarnPartition, PlansRoutingEqual, ApplyDiscoveredPlansForDriver,
_discoveredByDriver, the redeploy re-inject tail, DiscoveredNodeMapper,
DiscoveredInjection, AddressSpaceApplier.MaterialiseDiscoveredNodes,
OpcUaPublishActor.MaterialiseDiscoveredNodes, and the Runtime-local copies of
CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder/DiscoveredNode.
The connect-time discovery loop goes too (StartDiscovery, RediscoverTick,
HandleRediscoverAsync, DiscoveredNodesReady, TriggerRediscovery). With
injection gone it had no consumer, and leaving it would either dead-letter or
keep browsing real devices up to ~15x per connect to drop the result.
ITagDiscovery itself stays — the /raw browse picker drives it through
Commons/Browsing/DiscoveryDriverBrowser, which never went through the actor,
so the picker is unaffected.
deferment.md §4.4 called the 18 DiscoveryInjectionDormantV3 tests "Real —
blocked on #507". They are not: they assert an equipment-rooted graft
(EquipmentRootNodeId == "EQ-1") that v3 cannot produce, so they could never
have unskipped as written. Deleted along with DiscoveredNodeMapperTests, the
CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder tests, and the MaterialiseDiscoveredNodes tests
in AddressSpaceApplierTests/OpcUaPublishActorTests. Runtime.Tests skipped:
31 -> 13.
IHostConnectivityProbe is deliberately NOT resolved here. GetHostStatuses()
has no production call site and nothing writes a DriverHostStatus row, but the
table was re-created in the v3 initial migration, so deleting on inference
would be wrong. Split to Gitea #521 with both options costed.
CLAUDE.md, docs/drivers/{Galaxy,TwinCAT,MTConnect}.md updated — they described
the seam as dead.
Build clean; Runtime.Tests 476 passed / 13 skipped; OpcUaServer.Tests 362
passed / 4 skipped.
Each of the four telemetry publish seams now also emits its DPS payload into the
node-local ITelemetryLocalHub (Phase 5), leaving the existing DistributedPubSub
publish untouched:
- driver-health AkkaDriverHealthPublisher -> TelemetryItem.Health
- resilience DriverResilienceStatusPublisherService -> TelemetryItem.Resilience
- alerts ScriptedAlarmHostActor + DriverHostActor (native) -> TelemetryItem.Alarm
- script-logs VirtualTagActor + DpsScriptLogPublisher -> TelemetryItem.Script
DI services take the hub as a required ctor param; actors take an optional
nullable hub threaded through their Props and the real spawn sites
(DriverHostActor <- ServiceCollectionExtensions; VirtualTagActor/ScriptedAlarmHostActor
<- DriverHostActor), so existing test Props constructions keep compiling and simply
do not emit. The hub is a no-op until a gRPC client subscribes, so the emit is safe
on every node.

Scripted-alarm condition state lives in LocalDb (Phase 4); the ConfigDb-backed
Ef store + ScriptedAlarmState table are now dead. Removes the test-harness Ef
fallback (a DB-backed node with no store now skips the alarm host), deletes the
store + entity + model config, and drops the table via migration.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Nullable ConfigDb factory; UpsertNodeDeploymentState no-ops when absent
(central persists acks from the ApplyAck); scripted-alarm condition state
served from the LocalDb store instead of the ConfigDb-backed Ef store.
Combines Phase-4 Tasks 4 + 6. Removes the interim dbFactory! cast.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Phase 3 Task 6. In FetchAndCache mode Bootstrap() branches to BootstrapFromCache(),
which restores served state from the LocalDb pointer (GetCurrentUnkeyedAsync → set
_currentRevision → ApplyCachedArtifact from the cached bytes) with NO central-SQL read.
Distinct from the Direct-mode TryBootFromCache fallback: reading the cache is NORMAL
operation here so _isRunningFromCache stays false (the node can still fetch new
deploys). An empty OR unreadable cache lands Steady-with-no-revision (the first dispatch
fetches), never Stale — Stale means 'central SQL down, retry it', and FetchAndCache has
no config SQL read to recover. TryRecoverFromStale gains a defensive FetchAndCache guard
(it is unreachable in that mode, since the retry-db timer only starts in Stale).
Proven with a ThrowingDbFactory in every test: reaching Steady + applying a dispatch
proves the boot never touched central SQL. Sabotaging the mode branch (fall through to
the SQL read) reddens all three — test A flips RunningFromCache; B/C enter Stale, which
ignores the dispatch.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Phase 3 Task 5. Under ConfigSource:Mode=FetchAndCache, a DispatchDeployment whose
revision differs from _currentRevision kicks off a gRPC artifact fetch that PipeTo's
its result back to Self as FetchedForApply (never a blocking await in a receive — that
would freeze the mailbox for the fetch deadline). HandleFetchedForApply then applies
synchronously on the actor thread, mirroring ApplyAndAck: null bytes = apply FAILURE
(keep last-known-good, do not advance the revision, ack Failed — #485); non-null bytes
reconcile drivers, rebuild the address space and push subscriptions FROM the bytes in
hand (OpcUaPublishActor never reads central SQL), then cache them. A faulted fetch task
maps to null bytes so it can't escape as an unhandled message.
Extracted ReconcileDriversFromBlob from ReconcileDrivers so Direct-read, FetchAndCache
and boot-from-cache share one reconcile body (the #485 empty guard moves into it);
ApplyCachedArtifact now reuses it instead of duplicating the spawn-plan logic.
DI: DriverHostActor.Props gains fetchAndCacheMode + artifactFetcher (LAST, per the
positional-forwarding warning); Runtime resolves them from IOptions<ConfigSourceOptions>
(fetcher only in FetchAndCache mode); Host registers GrpcDeploymentArtifactFetcher under
hasDriver.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Phase 2 Task 5. DriverHostActor and ScriptedAlarmHostActor now subscribe to the
node-local EventStream alongside their existing DPS topic subscriptions, so the
transport flag lives ENTIRELY on the publishing side -- exactly one of the two
ever publishes, and the switch can be flipped or reverted without touching a
single subscriber.
Note the alarm case is not symmetric: the DPS subscribe there still carries the
node-LOCAL publisher (OtOpcUaServerHostedService's OPC UA Part 9 method calls),
which never crosses the boundary and stays on DPS in both modes. Only the
central AdminUI leg moves.
Renamed DriverHostActor._coordinatorOverride to _ackRouter. Under ClusterClient
mode that ref is the NodeCommunicationActor, emphatically not a coordinator,
and the old name would send the next reader looking for one.
Adds two wiring tests, because the unit tests either side of this seam BOTH pass
with the subscription deleted -- the comm actor's test asserts a probe receives
the message, and the host tests drive the actor by direct Tell. Neither notices
a missing PreStart subscribe. Sabotage-verified: deleting either subscription
reddens exactly its own wiring test and nothing else.
Three things went wrong while writing those tests, all worth keeping:
- The first version raced. ActorOf returns before PreStart runs, and an
EventStream.Publish with no subscriber is dropped silently -- no buffering, no
dead letter. Fixed with a warm-up whose ack proves PreStart completed; the
comment says why it is not ceremony.
- The alarm version was VACUOUS: it told the host directly INSIDE the assertion
window alongside the relay, so the direct Tell alone produced the log the
assertion waited for. Split into warm-up (outside) and relay (inside).
- The alarm test needs its own ActorSystem: the shared harness pins
loglevel = WARNING and the only signal an unowned alarm gives is a Debug line.

Checks 1, 2, 5, 6 pass. Checks 3 and 4 are NOT satisfied — the defect they
were meant to confirm turned out to be the opposite of what the plan assumed.
Three defects crash-looped every driver node before check 1 could even run:
1. An empty ServerHistorian:ApiKey kills the host. ServerHistorianOptions-
Validator exists to turn exactly that class of failure into a named
OptionsValidationException, but its documented fail tier explicitly excluded
ApiKey on the reasoning that a keyless client "degrades — the gateway rejects
calls". It does not: the client validates its own options at construction, so
the process dies during Akka startup and never makes a call.
2. UseTls disagreeing with the endpoint scheme kills the host too, in both
directions (both messages confirmed in the shipped client assembly). Moving an
endpoint from https to http without clearing UseTls is an ordinary migration
slip.
3. Plaintext h2c was UNREACHABLE. HistorianGatewayClientAdapter forwarded the
TLS-only options unconditionally, and AllowUntrustedServerCertificate defaults
to false, so it always sent RequireCertificateValidation=true — which the
client rejects outright when UseTls=false. Every http:// deployment crashed,
though the scheme is documented as the supported way to select h2c, and the
only workaround was to assert a certificate posture for a connection that has
no certificate.
The fourth was the blocker, and it is Phase 2's own:
4. The drain gate deferred to a Primary that cannot deliver. Redundancy roles are
elected CLUSTER-WIDE; the alarm queue is PAIR-LOCAL. On the rig the elected
driver Primary is central-1 — it carries the driver Akka role, replicates
nobody's LocalDb and does not even run the alarm historian — so every driver
node logged "Historian drain suspended", including the two site-b nodes that
have no peer at all. Nothing drained anywhere, where before Phase 2 it drained
fine. The cost is not a duplicate; it is the buffer growing to the capacity
wall and evicting the audit trail it exists to protect.
Fixed in three layers: a separate ShouldDrainAlarmHistory policy (unknown role
drains; the two gates now deliberately disagree, and a test pins that); peer-
host matching in DriverHostActor so a node stands down only for a Primary
holding its rows; and AddAlarmHistorian short-circuiting the gate when
replication is unconfigured — testing BOTH Replication:PeerAddress and
SyncListenPort, since only the dialing half sets the former while both halves
share the queue.
Every one of these follows from the asymmetry: a false allow costs a duplicate
row, which at-least-once delivery already accepts and payload-hash ids
collapse; a false deny loses data silently.
A third vacuous test, caught by the same delete-the-guard discipline: the
role-view tests stayed green with the guard removed, because AwaitAssert polls
until an assertion passes and the assertion was "reads open" — which is the
SEEDED value, satisfied at the first poll before the actor processed anything.
They now assert the sequence of published values through a recording view; the
control then goes red for exactly the cases that matter.
Migration evidence: 11 legacy rows across two deliberately overlapping files
converged to exactly 9 identical rows on both nodes, proving D-6's payload-hash
identity on real nodes rather than in a fixture.
Open design fork, recorded in the gate doc rather than decided here: a pair
cannot currently identify its own Primary, so both halves drain. Safe in every
topology — nothing loses data — but the gate's de-duplication benefit is
unrealised until roles are scoped per pair.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
Moves the alarm store-and-forward buffer out of its own alarm-historian.db
and into the node's consolidated LocalDb, where it replicates to the
redundant pair peer. A node that dies holding undelivered alarm history no
longer takes it to the grave.
Tasks 2 and 3 land together, as the plan anticipated. They are not separable:
the gate is a constructor argument of the rewritten sink, and a commit that
replicated the queue without gating the drain would be a commit in which both
nodes of a pair deliver every alarm event, continuously.
That drain gate is the load-bearing part of the change, and the recon
explains why it is new work rather than a refinement. Exactly-once delivery
across a pair is enforced today on the ENQUEUE side, by
HistorianAdapterActor: only the Primary enqueues, so the Secondary's queue is
empty and its ungated drain has nothing to send. Replicating the table
destroys that invariant.
The gate is a Func<bool> the caller supplies, because the drain runs on a
timer the sink owns rather than on a mailbox, and Core.AlarmHistorian cannot
reference PrimaryGatePolicy in Runtime. Runtime supplies it via a new
IRedundancyRoleView singleton that DriverHostActor publishes its Primary-gate
verdict to -- the same verdict the inbound-write and native-ack gates use, so
there is no second notion of am-I-the-Primary to drift.
Two failure modes are deliberately closed:
- The view is seeded OPEN, matching the policy's own answer for an unknown
role with no driver peer. A deployment that runs no redundancy never
publishes to it, and defaulting closed would silently stop its alarm
history forever.
- A gate that throws is read as not-now, never as permission, and a closed
gate reports the new HistorianDrainState.NotPrimary rather than Idle. A
Secondary's rising queue is supposed to look different from a stalled
drain, and if BOTH nodes report NotPrimary the pair is misconfigured and
says so instead of quietly filling toward the capacity ceiling.
Row ids are a hash of the payload rather than fresh GUIDs. Both adapters
accept the same fanned transition in the window before the first redundancy
snapshot arrives, and under last-writer-wins an equal key converges those two
accepts into one row instead of duplicating them.

ApplyAndAck advanced _currentRevision and recorded NodeDeploymentState=Applied
immediately after ReconcileDrivers, which returns null when the artifact could
not be read. So a node that applied NOTHING reported success, claimed a
revision whose configuration it never applied, and — because
HandleDispatchFromSteady short-circuits on a revision match — could never be
healed by re-dispatching that revision. Only a later, different revision
recovered it.
Now a null blob fails the apply: the revision is left where it was,
NodeDeploymentState records Failed with the reason, and the coordinator gets a
Failed ACK. Leaving the revision alone is what makes the retry actually land
instead of being waved through.
This is about telling the truth, not about tearing anything down — the node
keeps serving its last-known-good address space, drivers and subscriptions
throughout (#485).
Tests, RED-first (both verified failing with "should be Failed but was
Applied"): the ACK/revision assertion, plus the one that matters — after a
failed apply, re-dispatching the SAME revision now genuinely applies. Its
recovered artifact adds a second driver precisely so a short-circuited ACK
(which has no side effects) cannot satisfy it.
Four existing tests changed, and both changes are deliberate:
- DriverHostActorTests.SeedDeployment never set ArtifactBlob at all. Its three
consumers are about the apply/ACK/state machine, not the artifact, and now
need a genuine apply — so the helper seeds a well-formed artifact declaring
no drivers. That is what the composer emits for an empty configuration, and
is precisely what "bytes we could not read" is NOT.
- EmptyArtifact_IsNotCached asserted "the apply still succeeds — an empty
artifact is a legitimate no-op deployment". That premise is the bug. Flipped
to Failed; the test's actual subject (nothing is cached) is untouched and now
holds for two independent reasons.
Closes#486
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GASWkNEi68FSCtvr6rLoEW
The driver-side half of the same mistake the address-space fix corrected.
ReconcileDrivers and PushDesiredSubscriptionsFromArtifact both read the
artifact as `...FirstOrDefault() ?? Array.Empty<byte>()`. Their THROW paths
already returned early, but empty bytes flowed onwards as a real answer: zero
driver specs, so DriverSpawnPlanner planned every running child for StopChild,
and then an empty desired set dropped each surviving driver's live
subscription handle. A node lost its entire field I/O and still ACKed Applied.
Same rule as the address space: no bytes is no answer, not "a configuration
with no drivers". Nothing legitimate produces a zero-length blob — deleting
the last driver still deploys a JSON document with empty arrays. Both sites
now skip and keep what is running. The two guards are independent because
PushDesiredSubscriptions does its OWN ConfigDb read, so the row can go missing
between them.
Also corrects the ReconcileDrivers doc comment, which claimed an empty blob
made it "effectively a no-op" — with children running it was the opposite.
Tests: DriverHostActorUnreadableArtifactTests, RED-first (verified failing —
after the empty dispatch the driver list was empty). A zero-length ArtifactBlob
reproduces byte-for-byte what the missing-row case delivers, so the race does
not have to be constructed.
Two controls, both load-bearing:
- a READABLE driverless artifact still stops the driver, so the guard keys on
"the read gave us nothing", not on "fewer drivers than before";
- dropping a driver's LAST TAG still clears its subscription. This one was
added after the absence assertion was caught passing on a race: the
unsubscribe is an async self-tell, so with the second guard deleted the test
still went green. The control observes that same unsubscribe arriving well
inside the settle window, which is what makes the absence meaningful — with
the guard deleted the suite now correctly goes RED.
SubscribableStubDriver gains an UnsubscribeCount for that observation.

CacheAppliedArtifact ran only on a fresh apply (ApplyAndAck), never on the
bootstrap RestoreApplied path. So a node whose cache was lost — fresh/wiped
volume, disk failure — recovered its served state from central yet stayed
cache-less, unable to boot-from-cache on the NEXT central outage until some
future new deploy happened to land. Replication does not heal this: a peer's
already-acked cache rows are pruned from its oplog, so a fully-wiped, converged
node is never back-filled. RestoreApplied now writes the served artifact back to
the cache (invariant: the cache holds what the node serves). Found on the
docker-dev live gate wiping a node's LocalDb volume.
Boot-from-cache told OpcUaPublishActor to RebuildAddressSpace(deploymentId), which
re-loads the artifact from the ConfigDb by id — the very database that is
unreachable during the outage this path exists to survive. The rebuild no-op'd, so
a cache-booted node ran its drivers but served OPC UA clients an EMPTY address
space. RebuildAddressSpace now carries an optional in-hand Artifact blob;
ApplyCachedArtifact passes the cached bytes so materialisation happens from them
directly. Found on the docker-dev live gate: healthy peer served 16 nodes, the
cache-booted node served 1.
Hooks the Bootstrap catch that previously went straight to Stale. On a cache hit the
node serves its last-known-good configuration through the outage instead of coming
up with an empty address space; on a miss, behaviour is byte-for-byte what it was.
The read is unkeyed because ClusterId is only derivable from an artifact you already
hold or from the unreachable central DB (recon D-1). Newest pointer wins, which is
correct in every real topology - a node belongs to one cluster and its peer
replicates that same row.
Splits PushDesiredSubscriptionsFromArtifact out of PushDesiredSubscriptions: the
cache path runs precisely when the ConfigDb read cannot succeed, so re-reading the
artifact there would fail by definition.
RunningFromCache is surfaced on NodeDiagnosticsSnapshot (optional param, existing
call sites unaffected). A node running from cache looks entirely healthy from
outside - full address space, live values - but its config is frozen and no deploy
can reach it. It clears only on a real apply from central.
New Props/ctor parameter appended LAST at all three positions - the forwarding
list inside Props.Create is positional and compiles into an expression tree, so a
mis-ordered argument is usually type-compatible and binds the wrong dependency at
runtime. All 26 existing test construction sites use named arguments and needed no
change.
ReconcileDrivers now returns the blob it loaded. It catches its own DB failures and
returns without rethrowing, so ApplyAndAck can reach its success path having spawned
zero drivers; caching on 'the apply succeeded' would persist an empty artifact as
last-known-good and boot the node into an empty address space during the next
outage. Verified: weakening the guard to null-only turns EmptyArtifact_IsNotCached
red.
The store runs in its own try/catch because an Applied ACK has already been sent by
then - an escaping exception would land in ApplyAndAck's catch and emit a second,
contradictory Failed ACK for a deployment the fleet believes is live.
Part 9 ConditionType.Quality was never assigned; default(StatusCode)==Good
so every native + scripted condition reported Good unconditionally — a
comms-lost device still showed a healthy, inactive, Good condition (a
wrong-VALUE bug, distinct from the null-value #473/#475). Clients (and HMIs
bucketing on IsGood) could not tell "genuinely inactive" from "lost contact".
Layer 1 — make Quality a real, plumbed field:
- AlarmConditionSnapshot gains OpcUaQuality Quality (default Good).
- MaterialiseAlarmCondition sets it (native BadWaitingForInitialData, scripted Good).
- WriteAlarmCondition projects snapshot.Quality; the delta-gate gains a Quality
member so a quality-bucket change fires a Part 9 event.
Layer 2 — drive native quality from driver connectivity (a comms-lost driver
emits no alarm transitions, and an alarm-bearing raw tag has no value variable,
so quality can't come from either existing channel):
- DriverInstanceActor Tells parent ConnectivityChanged on Connected/Reconnecting.
- DriverHostActor fans it to every native condition the driver owns as
OpcUaPublishActor.AlarmQualityUpdate (Good on connect, Bad on disconnect).
- New dedicated IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink.WriteAlarmQuality sets ONLY Quality and
fires only on a bucket change — never touches Active/Acked/Retain (an active
alarm that loses comms stays active). Not a full-snapshot re-projection, so it
can't clobber severity/message and works for a never-fired condition.
Forwarded through DeferredAddressSpaceSink (F10b trap; auto-verified by the
reflection forwarding guard). Ungated by redundancy role; no /alerts row.
Scripted conditions stay Good; worst-of-input quality deferred to #478 (Layer 3).
Tests: node-level (materialise/project/no-clobber/unknown-node no-op),
NativeAlarmProjector, DriverInstanceActor connectivity emission, DriverHostActor
fan-out, OpcUaPublishActor routing, and the wire-level guard
(Condition_event_Quality_tracks_source_connectivity_on_the_wire) — RED-verified
against a simulated pre-fix always-Good server. Existing DriverInstanceActor
parent probes ignore the new ConnectivityChanged.

Closes the WP3/WP4 boundary seam WP4 flagged: ForwardNativeAlarm (DriverHostActor,
a WP3-owned file WP4 could not edit) built the AlarmTransitionEvent without the
referencing-equipment paths, so the /alerts equipment-list chips WP4 added never
populated in production (would fail live-gate leg 5). The RawTagPlan already carries
ReferencingEquipmentPaths (the Area/Line/Equipment UNS folder paths); this rides them
onto the per-condition alarm meta and into every transition. Coordinator-owned
1-file change (WP3 merged, no parallel agent owns this file this wave).

H1 (HIGH): write-routing key now (AddressSpaceRealm, bareId), not bare-only.
A raw s=<RawPath> and a UNS s=<Area/Line/Equip/Eff> can collide as bare
strings; the bare-only key let a colliding raw+UNS pair route to the WRONG
driver ref (last-writer-wins). The realm the node manager resolves (RealmOf)
is now threaded through IOpcUaNodeWriteGateway.WriteAsync -> RouteNodeWrite ->
_driverRefByNodeId keyed by (realm, bareId). New regression test:
Colliding_raw_and_uns_bare_ids_route_to_their_own_driver_by_realm.
M1 (MEDIUM): discovered-node injection made coherently DORMANT. HandleDiscoveredNodes
hard-short-circuits (single enforcement point; _discoveredByDriver never
populates so the re-inject tail is inert too), with a clear log pointing at the
/raw browse-commit flow. New pin: Discovered_nodes_are_ignored_dormant_in_v3;
the 16+2 v2 injection scenarios re-pointed to an accurate skip reason
(DiscoveryInjectionDormantV3).
M2 (MEDIUM): realm-qualified dual-node self-correction tests —
Failed_uns_write_reverts_uns_node_and_leaves_raw_node_untouched +
Raw_realm_revert_reverts_raw_node_only (the second fails if the realm is dropped).
L1: removed the = AddressSpaceRealm.Uns defaults from the consequential
node-manager mutation methods (WriteValue/WriteAlarmCondition/MaterialiseAlarmCondition/
EnsureFolder/EnsureVariable/UpdateFolderDisplayName/UpdateTagAttributes/
RaiseNodesAddedModelChange/Remove*/RevertOptimisticWriteIfNeeded) + the
AttributeValueUpdate/AlarmStateUpdate records, so the compiler forces explicit
realm; read-only accessors + internal builders retain their defaults.
L3: fixed the stale VirtualTagHostActor class comment (V3NodeIds.Uns, not the
retired EquipmentNodeIds.Variable).
Also: DeploymentArtifactRawUnsParityTests — Raw/UNS node-set byte-parity
round-trip between AddressSpaceComposer.Compose and DeploymentArtifact.ParseComposition.

Wave B of Batch 4 — the runtime binding seam for the dual namespace.
Applier (both realms, explicit realm at every sink call site):
- MaterialiseRawSubtree: Raw containers as folders + Raw tags as variables
keyed by RawPath (native-alarm tag → single Part 9 condition at the RawPath),
all in AddressSpaceRealm.Raw; historian tagname = override else RawPath.
- MaterialiseUnsReferences: each UNS reference Variable under its equipment
folder (Uns realm) + an Organizes UNS->Raw edge; inherits writable/array/
historian tagname from the backing raw tag (both NodeIds -> one tagname).
- FeedHistorizedRefs / ProvisionHistorizedTags now source RAW tags (mux ref
stays single, keyed by RawPath); ApplyPureRemove tears down raw tags + UNS
refs in place (raw-container removal falls back to rebuild).
DriverHostActor (dual-NodeId, single-source fan-out):
- _nodeIdByDriverRef value gains a realm (NodeRealmRef); rebuilt from
RawTags UNION UnsReferenceVariables so one (DriverInstanceId, RawPath) fans
to the raw NodeId AND every referencing UNS NodeId with identical
value/quality/timestamp. Write inverse map keyed by the bare id; the
ns-qualified NodeId the write hook passes is normalised (BareNodeId) so a
write to either NodeId resolves the same driver ref (-> RawPath write).
- Native raw alarm condition routing is realm-tagged (Raw); AttributeValueUpdate
+ AlarmStateUpdate carry the realm through to the sink.
Retire EquipmentNodeIds -> V3NodeIds.Uns (applier/VirtualTagHostActor) and
RawPaths.Combine (DiscoveredNodeMapper, discovered nodes are Raw now).
DeploymentArtifact.ParseComposition emits the Raw + UNS subtrees byte-parity
with the composer (reconstruct entities -> AddressSpaceComposer.Compose).
Sink surface: removed the transitional `= AddressSpaceRealm.Uns` defaults from
IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink / ISurgicalAddressSpaceSink / SdkAddressSpaceSink /
DeferredAddressSpaceSink / NullOpcUaAddressSpaceSink — every call site is now
explicit (realm reordered before the trailing optionals on EnsureVariable +
MaterialiseAlarmCondition). Node-manager convenience methods keep their
defaults (they are not the interface impl; Sdk delegates explicitly).
Tests: rewrote DriverHostActorLiveValueTests (fan-out drift, 1:N) +
DriverHostActorWriteRoutingTests (dual-NodeId raw/uns write routing) to the v3
raw+uns model; new AddressSpaceApplierRawUnsTests; migrated the EquipmentTags
provisioning/feed tests to RawTags; swept EquipmentNodeIds test callers.

A calc-tag add/remove/edit or a script edit changes the merged DriverConfig,
which DriverSpawnPlanner routes to an in-place ApplyDelta (not a respawn), i.e.
CalculationDriver.ReinitializeAsync. The old ReinitializeAsync ignored the new
config: the tag table + dependency-ref set were built once at construction and
never rebuilt, so after a redeploy added tags never computed, removed tags kept
publishing, and edited scripts served stale results (deploy reported success).
Part 1 (HIGH): extract RebuildTagTable(config) — shared by the ctor and reinit
so they cannot drift — and have ReinitializeAsync re-bind the new config
(ParseOptions) and rebuild _tagsByRawPath/_changeDependents/_dependencyRefs/
_stateByRawPath under _lock, preserving last-known state for surviving tags,
dropping removed tags, and starting new tags fresh. _dependencyRefs now reflects
the new authored tags. Corrected the now-false ReinitializeAsync comment.
Part 2 (MEDIUM ordering hazard): the host's ReRegister was Tell-ed synchronously
alongside the ApplyDelta Tell, so the adapter re-read DependencyRefs before the
async ReinitializeAsync rebuilt them (stale set, no self-correction). Now
DriverInstanceActor sends DeltaApplied(driverInstanceId) to DriverHostActor
AFTER ReinitializeAsync completes, and HandleDeltaApplied re-registers only that
driver's adapter — sequenced after the rebuild. Removed the inline loop.
Test: added a redeploy test to CalculationDependencyFlowTests exercising the
real DependencyMuxActor + adapter + driver — a new tag reading a NEW dep flows +
computes, a removed tag stops publishing, an edited script serves the new
result, and DependencyRefs re-registers the new set. Fails on pre-fix code
(DependencyRefs stays stale ["src/a"]), passes after the fix.

Adds the Calculation pseudo-driver (tags computed by C# scripts over other tags' live
values) plus the host seam that feeds it:
- IDependencyConsumer capability interface (Core.Abstractions) + DriverTypeNames.Calculation.
- CalculationDriver : IDriver, ISubscribable, IReadable, IDependencyConsumer — change-gate +
dedupe (VirtualTagActor parity), timer-group scheduler, Bad-transition + script-log emission,
Good recovery; reuses the T0-4 CalculationEvaluator.
- DriverHostActor spawns a DependencyConsumerMuxAdapter per dependency-consuming driver,
registering its refs on the per-node DependencyMuxActor and forwarding DependencyValueChanged
→ OnDependencyValue; re-registers on every apply, torn down with the driver.
- Factory + probe registered in DriverFactoryBootstrap (keeps the T0-3 guard green); guard test
csproj references the driver so the bin-scan discovers the factory.
- DeploymentArtifact injects the resolved scriptSource (scriptId → SourceCode) into a calc tag's
delivered TagConfig so the host-blind driver can compile it.
- DraftValidator deploy gates: CalculationScriptMissing / CalculationScriptNotFound (scriptId
existence) + CalculationDependencyCycle (DependencyGraph.DetectCycles over calc→calc edges).
- Tests: driver units (dep-ref extraction, change-gate, dedupe, Bad+script-log+recovery, timer,
read), tag-config parsing, DraftValidator gates (self/2-cycle/cross-driver-terminal), and a
Runtime integration test proving values FLOW mux → adapter → driver → calc-of-calc end-to-end.

- ConfigComposer: snapshot v3 tables (RawFolders/TagGroups/UnsTagReferences),
drop the retired Namespaces snapshot; RevisionHash follows the new blob.
- DeploymentArtifact: compute each raw tag's RawPath (RawFolder->Driver->Device->
TagGroup ancestry via shared RawPathResolver); per-driver RawTags + merged
DriverConfig+DeviceConfig config injected into DriverInstanceSpec via
DriverDeviceConfigMerger; ParseComposition emits an empty EquipmentTags set
(DARK until Batch 4); EquipmentNode driver/device hooks always null; cluster
scoping attributes equipment by UNS line only.
- AddressSpaceComposer: rewritten to the v3 shape (no Namespace/NamespaceKind,
no dropped Tag/Equipment fields); emits empty EquipmentTags (parity mirror).
- DriverHostActor: fan-out/write map tuple member FullName -> RawPath.
- Commons: new RawPathResolver (shared identity authority) + DriverDeviceConfigMerger
(single/multi-device endpoint+RawTags merge).
- DraftValidator: v3 rules — raw-name charset (RawPaths.ValidateSegment),
historized effective-tagname <=255, UNS effective-leaf uniqueness across
UnsTagReference/VirtualTag/ScriptedAlarm; DraftSnapshot(+Factory) carry the new tables.
- AdminOperationsActor: tag-config inspection resolves driver via Device (no
EquipmentId/DriverInstanceId on Tag).
- Tests: RawPathResolver/merger unit tests (Commons.Tests, green) +
DeploymentArtifact RawPath/dark test (Runtime.Tests, awaits WP6 corpus fixes).
The DriverInstance.ResilienceConfig column was authored in AdminUI, persisted to the
entity, and serialized into the deployment artifact by ConfigComposer — but the runtime
read path dropped it: DriverInstanceSpec didn't carry it and the invoker factory always
passed null, so every driver got tier defaults regardless of its configured overrides
(a silent dead-config gap — #10's residual sub-finding).
Read-path plumbing (write side was already complete):
- DriverInstanceSpec gains ResilienceConfig; DeploymentArtifact.TryReadSpec reads the column.
- IDriverCapabilityInvokerFactory.Create takes resilienceConfigJson; DriverHostActor.SpawnChild
threads spec.ResilienceConfig; the concrete factory parses it (ParseOrDefaults, layering on the
tier), logs any parse diagnostic (never throws), and builds the invoker with the merged options.
- Invalidate-on-change: the pipeline cache keys on (instance, host, capability) and ignores options
on a hit, so Create() now Invalidate()s the instance's cached pipelines first (no-op on first
spawn) — a respawn with changed options rebuilds them.
- DriverSpawnPlanner treats a ResilienceConfig change as a stop+respawn (the invoker/options are
bound to the child at spawn); a pure DriverConfig change stays an in-place delta (no reconnect).
- Host DI passes a logger to the factory for the parse diagnostic.
Verification (deterministic): factory Create applies a retryCount:0 override to actual execution
(control test proves tier default retries), invalidates the instance's cache on re-create (scoped —
sibling survives), malformed config logs+falls-back; planner respawns on ResilienceConfig change
(incl null→json) and stays delta on a pure config change; artifact parse carries/omits the column.
Core.Tests 243 (+5), Runtime.Tests 363 (+5), Host builds clean.
Remediates RESILIENCE-DISPATCH-GAP (surfaced by the 07/C-1 analyzer): the Phase 6.1
CapabilityInvoker resilience pipeline (retry / breaker / bulkhead / telemetry) was
constructed only in tests — the production dispatch layer called driver-capability
methods directly, bypassing it entirely.
The filed plan (thread CapabilityInvoker directly into DriverInstanceActor) is
INFEASIBLE: Runtime is deliberately Polly-free (references Core.Abstractions, not
Core — the same boundary IDriverFactory documents). So this introduces a seam,
mirroring IDriverFactory exactly:
- Core.Abstractions: IDriverCapabilityInvoker (+ NullDriverCapabilityInvoker
pass-through) and IDriverCapabilityInvokerFactory (+ null factory).
- Core: CapabilityInvoker now implements the interface; new
DriverCapabilityInvokerFactory builds a per-instance invoker over the
process-singleton pipeline builder + status tracker + tier resolver.
- Runtime: DriverInstanceActor takes an IDriverCapabilityInvoker (default =
pass-through) and routes all 6 dispatch sites (write, alarm-ack, subscribe,
unsubscribe, alarm-subscribe, discover) through it; per-host key resolved via
IPerCallHostResolver for single-ref calls, driver-instance key for bulk calls.
DriverHostActor builds + injects the real invoker per spawned driver.
- Host: DriverFactoryBootstrap registers the tracker, pipeline builder, and
concrete factory (needs DriverFactoryRegistry.GetTier). Runtime SCE resolves the
factory from DI like IDriverFactory; pass-through on nodes without it bound.
- Analyzer: IDriverCapabilityInvoker.ExecuteAsync/ExecuteWriteAsync are now
recognized wrapper homes (interface-typed invoker calls must suppress OTOPCUA0001
too). All 6 RESILIENCE-DISPATCH-GAP pragmas removed — the analyzer (an error in
Runtime) is now the standing regression guard.
Also adds retry / breaker-open / breaker-close LOGGING to the pipeline builder —
the operator-facing observability surface (the Admin /hosts reader, Phase 6.1
Stream E.2/E.3, was never built, so the pipeline otherwise runs silently).
Scope notes:
- Tier-DEFAULT policy only: DriverInstanceSpec (the deploy artifact) does not carry
the per-instance ResilienceConfig JSON, so overrides aren't applied yet (tracked
follow-up: plumb ResilienceConfig through the composer/artifact).
- GenericDriverNodeManager's call is NOT wired: that class is test-only scaffolding
(zero production references — the Server has its own address-space path); its
pragma is re-annotated accordingly, not left as a "tracked gap".
Verification (unit + analyzer; live behavioral gate still pending — see FOLLOWUP-10):
- Negative control: unwrapping any site fails the Runtime build with OTOPCUA0001.
- New Runtime guard (recording invoker): write routes via ExecuteWriteAsync with the
IPerCallHostResolver host; subscribe via ExecuteAsync — proves runtime routing.
- New analyzer test: the interface is a valid wrapper home.
- New pipeline-builder test: retry events are logged.
- Full solution builds clean (0 errors); Runtime.Tests 357, Core.Tests 238,
Analyzers.Tests 32 all green; pass-through default keeps existing dispatch tests
byte-for-byte unchanged.
Adds <summary>/<param>/<returns>/<inheritdoc> where missing and removes
project bookkeeping IDs (task/tracking refs) from shipped code comments,
so the docs read cleanly and CommentChecker is quiet except for known
false positives (PLC/protocol terms, event/IEqualityComparer inheritdoc).
Doc/comment-only; no logic changed; solution builds clean.
The OPC UA address-space build pipeline was named after a v2-roadmap
milestone number rather than its domain. Rename the family to describe
what it does (build/diff/apply the OPC UA address space):
Phase7Composer -> AddressSpaceComposer
Phase7CompositionResult -> AddressSpaceComposition
Phase7Planner -> AddressSpacePlanner
Phase7Plan -> AddressSpacePlan
Phase7Applier -> AddressSpaceApplier
Phase7ApplyOutcome -> AddressSpaceApplyOutcome
The 9 Phase7*Tests suites follow suit; Phase7ScriptingEntitiesTests ->
ScriptingEntitiesTests (it tests the scripting migration, not the
pipeline). Log-message prefixes move to the new class names.
Pure mechanical rename, no behavioral change. EF migration classes/IDs
(AddPhase7ScriptingTables, ExtendComputeGenerationDiffWithPhase7) are
immutable and left untouched, as are historical design docs.
Build clean; OpcUaServer 261/261, Runtime 272/272, ScriptingEntities
12/12 green.
