FOCAS, AbLegacy, AbCip, TwinCAT, S7 and OpcUaClient orphaned the previous
probe/recycle/fixed-tree loops and clients when re-initialised on a live driver.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
Found on the docker-dev live gate, not in tests. Two drivers that faulted
during initialise (rtu-gate, opcua1) each rendered "0 tags" on /hosts against
two authored tags apiece, because a ledger that had never committed returned
SkippedTagReport.Empty.
A zero report is a positive claim -- "this driver skipped nothing" -- and
making it on behalf of a driver that never got as far as looking is exactly
the quiet inaccuracy #541 exists to remove. GetSkippedTags() and
SkippedTagLedger.Snapshot() now return null until the first committed build,
so the column renders the same em-dash it already used for a driver that
cannot report at all. Both are 'no answer'; neither is 'nothing skipped'.
Knock-on: a FOCAS driver whose only init threw now reports null rather than a
zero report, which is strictly more honest than the assertion the test
originally made.
A driver builds its RawPath -> definition table at init and tolerates a
per-tag miss: an unmappable TagConfig, an unparseable address, a
capability-matrix rejection. That tolerance is right -- one bad tag must not
take down the other few thousand. What was missing is any statement of the
fact afterwards. A skip is not an error and happens before any read, so the
driver stays Healthy, errors/5 min stays 0, Last error stays empty, and Last
read advances live off the tags that did map. On the wonder Makino in #540
that reading held while focas-z-34184 ignored 20 of its 22 tags.
New optional capability ISkippedTagReporter, backed by a shared
SkippedTagLedger so the reset/commit/cap rules are one implementation rather
than one per driver. The report -- authored count, exact skipped count, and a
capped sample of RawPath + reason -- rides DriverHealthChanged to a new Tags
column on /hosts, over the Phase 5 telemetry stream. No table: a driver-only
node has no ConfigDb to write to, the lesson from #521.
The issue named eight drivers. It is twelve -- every driver in
DriverTypeNames.All has an authored-tag skip path. Calculation (no scriptId),
MTConnect (no readable DataItem id), Galaxy (no attributeRef) and OpcUaClient
(no nodeId) were unlisted, and OpcUaClient's was the quietest of the twelve:
NamespaceMap drops such an entry with a bare `continue` and not even a log
line. SkippedTagReporterFleetTests pins the invariant reflectively over every
IDriver in src/Drivers/, so a thirteenth cannot re-introduce the silence.
Sql drops a tag at TWO points and its report is the union of both: a blob
that does not map, AND an identifier the 8.1 catalog gate rejects against the
live catalog. The second is what schema drift produces -- a renamed column, a
dropped view -- months after a deployment sealed green, and reporting only
the first would have that driver claim "0 skipped" while polling half its
tags, which is worse than reporting nothing because the column would then be
actively reassuring.
Deliberately additive to driver state, never a change of it. Latching
non-Healthy for a config problem would satisfy both halves of the #527
comms-loss conjunction -- 90 s without a successful read AND non-Healthy --
and a driver whose tags were ALL skipped has no successful reads by
construction, so it would reconnect-loop forever against a healthy device.
Three details that are load-bearing rather than incidental:
- The skip digest is part of the publish fingerprint. A skipped tag leaves
every other fingerprint component identical to a clean driver's, so without
it PublishHealthSnapshot's dedup swallows exactly the publish carrying the
signal -- the trap that already bit the rediscovery and host-status
channels. The digest covers the sample, not just the counts: a redeploy
that fixes one tag and breaks another leaves both counts unchanged.
- The count is exact; only the sample is capped, and the tooltip says so when
it is showing fewer than it counted. A truncated list that looked complete
would have an operator fix twenty tags and believe the job done.
- The ledger stages and commits, so an init that throws part-way leaves the
previous report standing. A partial snapshot would read as "we now skip
fewer tags", the opposite of the truth.
The proto field needs no companion presence flag, unlike host_statuses: a
singular message field carries real presence in proto3, and a has_ flag would
collide with protoc's generated HasSkippedTags.
Verified red-first three ways: dropping SkippedTagDigest from the fingerprint
fails the two dedup tests, removing the seam from one driver fails the fleet
guard, and dropping the catalog-gate leg fails the Sql union test. Full
solution builds with zero new warnings against 4e22f024.
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.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015p7wGqy3YpZNCpDzTpGMKo
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).
Resolve secret:-prefixed Password + UserCertificatePassword through the shared
ISecretResolver, fail-closed on absent, retiring the cleartext-in-DB path. The
driver-registry factory is synchronous (Func<string,string,IDriver>), so resolution
is done lazily in the async session-open (InitializeAsync, before BuildUserIdentity)
rather than at deserialize — mirroring Task 7's Galaxy pattern and matching its
re-resolve-on-reconnect behavior. Both consumers (username Password and the
certificate-password LoadPkcs12 path via BuildCertificateIdentity) see the resolved
connect-scoped options; _options stays raw (secret: refs intact), no long-lived
plaintext field.
Scope corrections vs the plan (verified against v3): the probe is unauthenticated
GetEndpoints-only and never reads either credential, so it is NOT a resolution site
(comment added, no dead code); OpcUaClientDriverOptions was a sealed class, converted
to sealed record for the with-expression (no positional params → identical JSON; no
reference-equality/dict-key/ToString-log usages → no behavior/leak change).
ISecretResolver threaded via factory Register/CreateInstance + DriverFactoryBootstrap
(real resolver from DI); NullSecretResolver null-object backs test/parse paths only,
fail-closed on secret: refs. TDD: 4 helper tests RED→GREEN; 142 OpcUaClient tests pass.
NamespaceMap now carries a RawPath -> upstream node id table built from the
deployed RawTagEntry list (reads each tag's TagConfig.nodeId, threads
WriteIdempotent). Under v3 the read/write/subscribe/history reference handed to
the driver is the tag's RawPath identity; the driver resolves it in two stages:
RawPath -> nodeId string (instance TryResolve) -> live NodeId re-bound against
the session (static TryResolve). Alarm ConditionId + event-history sourceName
stay on the direct session parse (they are upstream node ids, not RawPaths).
- Options: add IReadOnlyList<RawTagEntry> RawTags (Contracts now refs Core.Abstractions).
- Factory: RawTags binds straight into options (no separate DTO); EndpointUrl kept.
- Browser: unchanged (emits neutral BrowseNode DTOs, no TagConfig FullName key).
- Tests: 138 green; new RawPath resolution + factory-binding coverage; migrated
the stale-session ReadRaw test to author a resolving RawTag.
Contracts + Driver + Browser build clean (0 warn). Wave C wires endpoint->DeviceConfig
and the deploy artifact that populates RawTags.
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.
Re-review at 7286d320. -016: BrowseRecursiveAsync now releases the server-side continuation
point on OperationCanceledException (BrowseNext releaseContinuationPoints:true) before
rethrowing (resolves the Browser-002 cross-cutting leak) + TDD.
Code-review I2: CoerceDateTime's missing-field sentinel was DateTime.MinValue
(Kind=Unspecified) — a downstream .ToUniversalTime() could shift it; now UTC-kinded.
M4: assert BrowsePath namespace==0 + the sentinel's UTC Kind.
Adds <summary>, <param>, <typeparam>, and <inheritdoc/> tags to public
members surfaced by commentchecker — resolves 5,847 of 5,869 issues
(99.6%) across three /fixdocs passes.
- Driver.OpcUaClient-011: rewrote the ValueRank comment with the OPC UA
Part 3 constants and an explicit scalar/array boundary at
valueRank >= 0.
- Driver.OpcUaClient-014: track every MonitoredItem.Notification handler
in a MonitoredItemNotificationHandle record; UnsubscribeAsync /
UnsubscribeAlarmsAsync / ShutdownAsync detach the handler before
Subscription.DeleteAsync so the SDK's invocation list no longer keeps
the driver alive.

Route all Session mutations through _probeLock so OnReconnectComplete, ShutdownAsync,
and OnKeepAlive cannot race each other when swapping or clearing the active session.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Driver.OpcUaClient-001 — ReadAsync/WriteAsync/DiscoverAsync captured the
session before acquiring _gate, so a reconnect that completed while the
operation was blocked on the gate left the wire call bound to a stale,
closed session. All three now re-read Session (and parse NodeIds) inside
the _gate critical section after WaitAsync returns.
Driver.OpcUaClient-002 — OnReconnectComplete ignored the give-up (null
session) case, permanently wedging the driver with no Faulted signal and
no reconnect loop. The give-up branch now transitions HostState to
Faulted, sets a Faulted DriverHealth with an explanatory message, and
re-arms a fresh SessionReconnectHandler (TryRearmReconnect) against the
last-known session so an always-on gateway self-heals.
Driver.OpcUaClient-003 — BrowseRecursiveAsync discarded browse
continuation points, silently truncating large remote folders.
It now loops on BrowseResult.ContinuationPoint calling BrowseNextAsync
and appending each page until the continuation point is empty.
Driver.OpcUaClient-004 — driver-specs.md §8 namespace handling was
absent. Added NamespaceMap (built from session.NamespaceUris at connect,
rebuilt on reconnect) which persists discovered NodeIds in the
server-stable nsu=<uri>;... form; reads/writes re-resolve that form
against the current session so a remote namespace-table reorder no
longer misaddresses nodes. Added the TargetNamespaceKind option +
UnsMappingTable and ValidateNamespaceKind startup enforcement.
Driver.OpcUaClient-005 — OnKeepAlive read/wrote _reconnectHandler
without a lock, racing the SDK keep-alive timer thread and leaking
handlers. The check-and-set in OnKeepAlive, the take-and-clear in
ShutdownAsync, and the dispose/re-arm in OnReconnectComplete now all
run inside the _probeLock critical section.
Adds OpcUaClientNamespaceTests (11 xUnit + Shouldly regression tests)
covering ValidateNamespaceKind and the NamespaceMap stable encoding.
Reconnect/browse wire paths remain fixture-gated per finding -015.

Group all 69 projects into category subfolders under src/ and tests/ so the
Rider Solution Explorer mirrors the module structure. Folders: Core, Server,
Drivers (with a nested Driver CLIs subfolder), Client, Tooling.
- Move every project folder on disk with git mv (history preserved as renames).
- Recompute relative paths in 57 .csproj files: cross-category ProjectReferences,
the lib/ HintPath+None refs in Driver.Historian.Wonderware, and the external
mxaccessgw refs in Driver.Galaxy and its test project.
- Rebuild ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx with nested solution folders.
- Re-prefix project paths in functional scripts (e2e, compliance, smoke SQL,
integration, install).
Build green (0 errors); unit tests pass. Docs left for a separate pass.
