Files touched — docs/drivers/Modbus-Test-Fixture.md dropped the key-files pointer at deleted Pymodbus/ + flipped "primary launcher is Docker, native fallback retained" framing to "Docker is the only supported launch path" (matching the code). docs/v2/dev-environment.md dropped the "skips both Docker + native-binary paths" parenthetical from AB_SERVER_ENDPOINT + flipped the "Native fallbacks" subsection to a one-liner that says Docker is the only supported path. docs/v2/modbus-test-plan.md rewrote §Harness from "pip install pymodbus + serve.ps1" setup pattern to "docker compose --profile <…> up" + updated the §PR 43 status bullet to point at Docker/profiles/. docs/v2/test-data-sources.md §"CI fixture (task #180)" rewrote the AB CIP section from "LocateBinary() picks binary off PATH" + GitHub Actions zip-download step to "Docker is the only supported reproducible build path" + docker compose GitHub Actions step; dropped the pinned-version SHA256 table + lock-file reference because the Dockerfile's LIBPLCTAG_TAG build-arg is the new pin.
Code docstrings + error messages — these are developer-facing operational text too. ModbusSimulatorFixture SkipReason strings (both branches) now point at `docker compose -f Docker/docker-compose.yml --profile standard up -d` instead of the deleted `Pymodbus\serve.ps1`; doc-comment at the top references Docker/docker-compose.yml. Snap7ServerFixture SkipReason strings + doc-comment point at Docker/docker-compose.yml instead of PythonSnap7/serve.ps1. S7_1500Profile.cs docstring updated. Modbus Dockerfile comment pointing at deleted tests/.../Pymodbus/README.md redirected to docs/drivers/Modbus-Test-Fixture.md. DL205Profile.cs + DL205StringQuirkTests.cs + S7_1500Profile.cs (in Modbus project) docstrings flipped from Pymodbus/*.json references to Docker/profiles/*.json.
Left untouched deliberately: docs/v2/implementation/exit-gate-phase-2-closed.md — that's a historical as-of-2026-04-18 snapshot documenting what was skipped at Phase 2 closure; rewriting would lose the date-stamped context. Its "oitc/modbus-server Docker container not started" + "ab_server binary not on PATH" lines describe the fixture landscape that existed at close time, not current operational guidance.
Final sweep confirms zero remaining `Pymodbus/` / `PythonSnap7/` / `LocateBinary` / `AbServerSeedTag` / `BuildCliArgs` / `AbServerPlcArg` mentions anywhere in tracked files outside that historical exit-gate doc. Whole-solution build still 0 errors.

Modbus — deletes tests/.../Modbus.IntegrationTests/Pymodbus/ (serve.ps1, standard.json, dl205.json, mitsubishi.json, s7_1500.json, README.md). Profile JSONs live only under Docker/profiles/ now. Docker/README.md loses its "Native-Python fallback" section; docs/drivers/Modbus-Test-Fixture.md "What the fixture is" bullet flipped from "primary launcher is Docker, native fallback under Pymodbus/" to "Docker is the only supported launch path".
S7 — deletes tests/.../S7.IntegrationTests/PythonSnap7/ (server.py, s7_1500.json, serve.ps1, README.md). Docker/README.md loses "Native-Python fallback"; docs/drivers/S7-Test-Fixture.md updated to match.
AB CIP — the biggest simplification because the native-binary spawn had the most code. AbServerFixture.cs rewrites: drops Process management (no more Process _proc + Kill/WaitForExit), drops LocateBinary() PATH lookup, drops the IAsyncLifetime initialize-spawns-server behavior. Fixture is now a thin TCP probe against localhost:44818 (or AB_SERVER_ENDPOINT override) — same shape as Snap7ServerFixture / ModbusSimulatorFixture / OpcPlcFixture. IsServerAvailable() simplifies to a single 500 ms probe. AbServerProfile.cs drops AbServerPlcArg + SeedTags + BuildCliArgs + ToCliSpec + the entire AbServerSeedTag record — the compose file is the canonical source of truth for which tags + which --plc mode each family gets; the profile record now carries just Family + ComposeProfile (matches the docker-compose service key) + Notes. KnownProfiles.ForFamily + .All stay for tests that iterate families. AbServerProfileTests.cs rewrites to match: drops BuildCliArgs_* + ToCliSpec_* + SeedTags_* tests; keeps the family-coverage contract tests + verifies the ComposeProfile strings match compose-file service names (a typo in either surfaces as a unit-test failure, not a silent "wrong family booted" at runtime). Docker/README.md loses "Native-binary fallback" section; docs/drivers/AbServer-Test-Fixture.md "What the fixture is" flipped to Docker-only with clearer skip rules.
dev-environment.md §Docker fixtures — the "Native fallbacks" subsection goes away; replaced with a one-line note that Docker is the only supported path for these four fixtures + a fresh clone needs Docker Desktop and nothing else.
Verified: whole-solution build 0 errors, AB CIP profile unit tests 6/6, AB CIP Docker smoke 4/4 (all family theory rows), S7 Docker smoke 3/3. Container lifecycle clean. The deleted native code surface was already redundant — every fixture the native paths served is now covered by Docker; keeping them invited drift between the two paths (the original AB CIP native profile had three undetected bugs per the #162 commit message: case-sensitive --plc, bracket tag notation, --path=1,0 requirement — noise the Docker path now avoids by never running the buggy code).

S7 integration — AbCip/Modbus already have real-simulator integration suites; S7 had zero wire-level coverage despite being a Tier-A driver (all unit tests mocked IS7Client). Picked python-snap7's `snap7.server.Server` over raw Snap7 C library because `pip install` beats per-OS binary-pin maintenance, the package ships a Python __main__ shim that mirrors our existing pymodbus serve.ps1 + *.json pattern structurally, and the python-snap7 project is actively maintained. New project `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.S7.IntegrationTests/` with four moving parts: (a) `Snap7ServerFixture` — collection-scoped TCP probe on `localhost:1102` that sets `SkipReason` when the simulator's not running, matching the `ModbusSimulatorFixture` shape one directory over (same S7_SIM_ENDPOINT env var override convention for pointing at a real S7 CPU on port 102); (b) `PythonSnap7/` — `serve.ps1` wrapper + `server.py` shim + `s7_1500.json` seed profile + `README.md` documenting install / run / known limitations; (c) `S7_1500/S7_1500Profile.cs` — driver-side `S7DriverOptions` whose tag addresses map 1:1 to the JSON profile's seed offsets (DB1.DBW0 u16, DB1.DBW10 i16, DB1.DBD20 i32, DB1.DBD30 f32, DB1.DBX50.3 bool, DB1.DBW100 scratch); (d) `S7_1500SmokeTests` — three tests proving typed reads + write-then-read round-trip work through real S7netplus + real ISO-on-TCP + real snap7 server. Picked port 1102 default instead of S7-standard 102 because 102 is privileged on Linux + triggers Windows Firewall prompt; S7netplus 0.20 has a 5-arg `Plc(CpuType, host, port, rack, slot)` ctor that lets the driver honour `S7DriverOptions.Port`, but the existing driver code called the 4-arg overload + silently hardcoded 102. One-line driver fix (S7Driver.cs:87) threads `_options.Port` through — the S7 unit suite (58/58) still passes unchanged because every unit test uses a fake IS7Client that never sees the real ctor. Server seed-type matrix in `server.py` covers u8 / i8 / u16 / i16 / u32 / i32 / f32 / bool-with-bit / ascii (S7 STRING with max_len header). register_area takes the SrvArea enum value, not the string name — a 15-minute debug after the first test run caught that; documented inline.
Per-driver test-fixture coverage docs — eight new files in `docs/drivers/` laying out what each driver's harness actually benchmarks vs. what's trusted from field deployments. Pattern mirrors the AbServer-Test-Fixture.md doc that shipped earlier in this arc: TL;DR → What the fixture is → What it actually covers → What it does NOT cover → When-to-trust table → Follow-up candidates → Key files. Ugly truth the survey made visible: Galaxy + Modbus + (now) S7 + AB CIP have real wire-level coverage; AB Legacy / TwinCAT / FOCAS / OpcUaClient are still contract-only because their libraries ship no fake + no open-source simulator exists (AB Legacy PCCC), no public simulator exists (FOCAS), the vendor SDK has no in-process fake (TwinCAT/ADS.NET), or the test wiring just hasn't happened yet (OpcUaClient could trivially loopback against this repo's own server — flagged as #215). Each doc names the specific follow-up route: Snap7 server for S7 (done), TwinCAT 3 developer-runtime auto-restart for TwinCAT, Tier-C out-of-process Host for FOCAS, lab rigs for AB Legacy + hardware-gated bits of the others. `docs/drivers/README.md` gains a coverage-map section linking all eight. Tracking tasks #215-#222 filed for each PR-able follow-up.
Build clean (driver + integration project + docs); S7.Tests 58/58 (unchanged); S7.IntegrationTests 3/3 (new, verified end-to-end against a live python-snap7 server: `driver_reads_seeded_u16_through_real_S7comm`, `driver_reads_seeded_typed_batch`, `driver_write_then_read_round_trip_on_scratch_word`). Next fixture follow-up is #215 (OpcUaClient loopback against own server) — highest ROI of the remaining set, zero external deps.
