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.

HandleRestartDriver stopped + respawned the child within one synchronous
message handler, reusing the base actor name drv-<id>. Context.Stop is async
(the child processes its own stop on its own mailbox), so the old child was
ALWAYS still registered when the respawn ran — Context.ActorOf threw
InvalidActorNameException deterministically on every AdminUI Restart press,
crashing + restarting the host.
Fix: a monotonic _childSpawnGeneration counter (single-threaded actor) feeds a
-g<gen> suffix on every spawned child name, so a respawn can never collide with
the still-terminating predecessor. Children are tracked by the _children dict
(by IActorRef), never by actor path, so the suffix is invisible to callers.
This also closes the same-shaped latent race in the reconcile path (a removed-
then-readded instance, and a driver-type-change ToStop+ToSpawn in one plan).
Regression test RestartDriver_respawns_the_child_without_an_actor_name_collision
(verified: FAILS on the old code with the exact InvalidActorNameException,
PASSES with the fix). Runtime.Tests 238/238 green. Code-reviewed (approved).
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.
DriverHostActor.ApplyAndAck now reads the deployment artifact and
reconciles its set of DriverInstanceActor children — spawn the missing,
ApplyDelta to those with changed config, stop the removed/disabled.
The diff lives in pure DriverSpawnPlanner so it can be unit-tested
without an ActorSystem.
Adds IDriverFactory in Core.Abstractions (consumed by Runtime) +
DriverFactoryRegistryAdapter in Core.Hosting that wraps the existing
v1 DriverFactoryRegistry — Runtime stays decoupled from Polly/Serilog,
the Host wires the adapter once driver assemblies have registered.
ShouldStub(type, roles) is now actually called on every spawn — Galaxy
+ Wonderware-Historian boot stubbed on macOS/Linux or whenever the host
carries the dev role. Missing factory ⇒ stub fallback, never a crash.
Tests: 24 → 34 in Runtime (+10):
- DriverSpawnPlannerTests x7 (diff cases, type change ⇒ stop+respawn)
- DeploymentArtifactTests x5 (empty/malformed/missing fields tolerant)
- DriverHostActorReconcileTests x4 (spawn count, stub fallback,
ShouldStub gate, second-apply stops the removed)
All 6 v2 test suites green: 120 tests passing.
Closes F20 (ShouldStub wired). F7 marked partial — subscription
publishing + write path still stubbed in DriverInstanceActor itself.
