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.
