- IHistorianDataSource.ReadEventsAsync(..., bool reverse, ...) overload: reverse = Part 11 window (lo, hi]
newest-first by (time, id) DESC. Default forwards forward reads and throws NotSupportedException for
reverse (Null); Gateway refuses explicitly (ascending-only stream). Server answers
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported instead of silently returning the earliest N ascending.
- SqlServer / QuestDB serve reverse natively (ORDER BY time DESC, id DESC + TOP/LIMIT).
- Node manager: reverse event reads page with continuation points; direction stored in the cursor
(HistoryContinuationState.Reverse) so a resume continues in the cursor's direction; reverse tie clusters
over-fetched forward and sliced from the newest end (SliceTieCluster(reverse:)); end-only reads with a
cap page backward from EndTime (mirrors raw).
- Resumed event pages over-fetch by the boundary skip, so every non-final page is a full cap page.
- Tests: node-manager reverse paging (ties, clusters, coarse resolution, overfetch bound, resume
direction both ways, end-only, unsupported backend); shared EventReadConformance on SqlServer +
QuestDB; over-the-wire reverse paging; offline Gateway pin of the UTC DateTime.MaxValue bound through
the published client's proto conversion (in-process gRPC capture) and FILETIME.
- docs/Historian.md event paging section.
- HistoryUpdate items with SourceTimestamp > now + ServerHistorian:HistoryUpdateMaxFutureSkew
(default 1 day, <=0 disables) => BadOutOfRange in the node manager (every backend, never sent);
clock injected via OtOpcUaNodeManager.Clock (host TimeProvider).
- HistoryUpdate is Primary-only: off-Primary => BadInvalidState per node, after authorization,
same IDriverPrimaryRoleSource verdict as the native-ack gate; HistoryRead ungated.
- SqlServer: base schema requirement back to v1; SupportsModifiedTrail (v>=2). On v1 with
AutoCreateSchema=false: writes/reads/events/retention work, modified reads + HistoryUpdate =>
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported with nothing sent, retention skips SampleModified, one Warning per boot.
- QuestDB integration test pinning wall-clock TTL (far-future row evicts only partitions older
than the TTL by the wall clock), with a positive control.
- Docs: Historian.md, Configuration.md, security.md, CLAUDE.md (incl. QuestDB retry duplicates,
#674.4 anonymous-readable trail with ACL off, #674.5 not implemented).

M1: the time-weighted family (incl. Total, formerly a pushed-down SUM) streams
raw window rows into the C# evaluator. New shared knob
ServerHistorian:MaxTimeWeightedRawRows (default 1,000,000; <=0 unbounded with a
Validate warning) flows through HistorianBackendRegistry into both providers.
The window query is capped at cap+1 (SQL Server TOP (@maxRows), QuestDB LIMIT $4);
one row past the cap throws the new Core.Abstractions
HistoryReadLimitExceededException, which the node manager maps to
BadTooManyOperations for that node. Not counted as a backend health failure;
bound rows are not counted; per-sample aggregates are not capped.
M2: reverse Interpolative is anchored at the later time (Part 13): points at
End - i*interval, emitted latest first. 10:00->09:00 @1h yields 10:00.
L1: Partial bit (0x4, = Opc.Ua.AggregateBits.Partial) on non-Bad results of a
truncated last interval (time-weighted family; per-sample family is a follow-up).
L2/L3: aligned with the SDK AggregateCalculator.GetTimeBasedStatusCode
(decompiled from Opc.Ua.Server 1.5.378.106): TreatUncertainAsBad=false counts
Uncertain time (Uncertain samples, held-into-outage, extrapolation) as Good
time; data but no non-Bad time => generic Bad (0x80000000); BadNoData only
when there is no data at all. Consequence: a live tag's latest interval reads
Good (documented).
L5: release note no longer claims Total matches the Gateway Integral exactly
(AVEVA's divisor is unverified); it notes Total is now evaluated in C# and
subject to the cap.
Tests: unit (reverse Interpolative x3, Partial, Bad vs BadNoData incl. an
open-ended outage, cap helpers, SDK bit oracles); conformance (reverse
Interpolative, raw-row cap at/over/0, bounds not counted, health unaffected);
node manager BadTooManyOperations; options default + warning. Each new
behaviour falsified by mutation (aggregator x9, data-source cap checks on
both backends against the real DBs, node-manager catch).
