A Designer could point a Galaxy / OpcUaClient endpoint at a host they control,
set a credential field to any reference the node can resolve
(env:ConnectionStrings__ConfigDb, env:ServerHistorian__ApiKey, secret:<any>,
Galaxy file:<any path>) and click Test Connect / live browse; the node resolved
the value and sent it to that host.
One shared rule in Core.Abstractions (CredentialReferences +
DriverCredentialPolicy) generalises the #803 Heidenhain namespace:
- Galaxy: secret:galaxy/... | secret:otopcua/galaxy/... | env:OTOPCUA_GALAXY_... |
legacy env:GALAXY_MXGW_...; file: refused; dev:/literal API key unchanged.
- OpcUaClient: secret:opcuaclient/... | env:OTOPCUA_OPCUACLIENT_...; literals unchanged.
- Heidenhain adopts the shared parser/resolver (namespace unchanged).
Enforced at the AdminUI save path (DriverConfigSaveGate), the deploy gate
(CredentialReferenceDeployChecks, code CredentialReferenceOutOfScope), Test
Connect (AdminOperationsActor, before any probe), live browse
(BrowserSessionService, before any browser) and again at resolve time in every
driver/browser (fail closed, before any store/env read).

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.
