The native-ack path is fire-and-forget after the Part 9 Acknowledge returns, so
a Galaxy ack refused for lack of a credential (#749), or rejected by MXAccess,
left the client with Good and the condition showing Acknowledged while Galaxy
was never acked. Both options from the issue, layered:
1. Synchronous refusal for what the driver can decide without I/O. New optional
IAlarmAcknowledgePreflight (Core.Abstractions); GalaxyDriver refuses an
anonymous session when the driver has no AlarmAck fallback account.
DriverHostActor publishes a condition NodeId -> owning-driver snapshot into
NativeAlarmAckPreflightView (lock-free, volatile); the node manager's new
NativeAlarmAckPreflight seam, consulted after the authz and Primary gates,
returns BadUserAccessDenied with the reason - nothing routed, applied or
reported. A keyed session is not pre-checked (its identity lives in the
Secrets store, which must not be read under the SDK lock).
2. Revert for everything else. RouteAlarmAck carries the condition NodeId;
DriverInstanceActor replies AlarmAckFailed on a refusal, a backend failure,
a driver without an alarm source, or an ack dropped while connecting /
reconnecting. DriverHostActor re-projects the condition unacknowledged via
NativeAlarmProjector.TryRevertAcknowledge, but only while the local ack is
still pending - any driver transition projected since then wins. A disabled
or unspawned driver is not reverted (unchanged).
GatewayGalaxyAlarmAcknowledger now throws DriverOperationRefusedException on a
non-zero native hresult (wrong password, no ack permission) instead of only
warning, so that case reverts too; as a refusal it neither retries nor trips
the breaker.
Tests (each fails with its fix mutated out): projector revert/supersede,
DriverHostActor refused + failed ack -> unacked AlarmStateUpdate (successful
ack control), preflight view snapshot, node-manager preflight unit test,
over-the-wire ConditionMethodEventTests (BadUserAccessDenied, no route, no
event; positive control), Galaxy preflight + hresult refusal.

mxaccessgw 488649c+ acknowledges by AuthenticateUser as the operator and
writing <alarm>.AckMsg, so AcknowledgeAlarmRequest now needs a real Galaxy
operator_user + operator_domain + operator_password. The OPC UA data plane is
API-key/anonymous and carries no Galaxy password, so the driver resolves the
account per ack:
1. the session's API key's Galaxy ack identity, set on AdminUI /apikeys and
held ONLY in the encrypted Secrets store
(otopcua/apikeys/<keyId>/galaxy-ack-{user,password}); a key with a user but
no password secret is refused, never silently downgraded;
2. else the driver instance's AlarmAck fallback account (DriverConfig
FallbackUser/FallbackDomain/FallbackPasswordSecretRef; secret:/${secret:}/
env:/file:/dev: only — a literal is refused);
3. else DriverOperationRefusedException: nothing is sent, never an empty
operator_user. Refusals are excluded from the resilience retry/breaker.
- Pins ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Client/Contracts 0.2.1 -> 0.3.0 (vendored into
nuget-packages/ from the Gitea feed, per the local-mxgw source mapping).
- The session ApiKeyId (not a secret) rides NativeAlarmAck ->
RouteNativeAlarmAck -> RouteAlarmAck -> AlarmAcknowledgeRequest; the password
is resolved in the driver and never travels through actor messages.
- The OPC UA principal + key id are appended to the AckMsg comment
("[OPC UA: <principal>, key <id>]") and logged, so a shared fallback
account does not lose who acknowledged.
- Password never logged: GalaxyAckCredential.ToString omits it, the
acknowledger scrubs it from every gateway message it echoes and withholds
any exception that echoes it; audit rows carry only the key id.
- AdminUI: /apikeys "Ack identity" editor (set/remove; delete-key clears it),
Galaxy driver form gains the fallback section.
- Synchronous OPC UA status for a refusal is follow-up #760 (the native ack
path is fire-and-forget after the Part 9 method returns).
Tests: request mapping (password populated), password absent from logs and
exception text (mutation-checked), key-mapped / fallback / refused paths at
resolver and driver level, breaker non-trip, key-id propagation through node
manager and DriverHostActor, AdminUI service + form round-trip.
Closes#749
