WriteAttribute was a ReceiveAsync, suspending the child's mailbox for the
whole device round-trip (up to 5 s): writes serialised, the second of two
operator writes to a slow device missed the host's 8 s Ask and was
reverted although the device took it, and every data change queued behind
the write. Writes are now a synchronous Receive that launches the device
call on the thread pool (sender captured, reply from the task, slot freed
by a self-sent WriteCompleted) under a per-driver cap (default 4; excess
writes queue in order). Queued writes fail fast on every exit from
Connected. Subscribe/unsubscribe stay ReceiveAsync.

GalaxyDriver.ShutdownAsync was a no-op: the MX session, both owned gRPC
channels, the EventPump, the alarm feed, the DeployWatcher, the probe
watcher and the reconnect supervisor were released only by DisposeAsync,
which the host never calls — one leaked gateway session per respawn,
removal and /raw browse, and a watchdog Shutdown→Initialize that neither
tore down nor rebuilt anything (review 2026-10-21 G-1, G-2, G-9, G-3).
- ShutdownAsync and DisposeAsync share one ordered TeardownRuntimeAsync
(supervisor first, then deploy/probe watchers, pump, alarm feed,
session, channels); owned seams are nulled so the next InitializeAsync
rebuilds; injected seams survive a shutdown and drop only on the final
dispose. Lifecycle calls are serialised behind a gate.
- A failed production connect releases its partial runtime (no orphaned
client per watchdog retry) and lands Faulted before and after.
- StartDeployWatcherAsync stops the previous watcher before starting a
replacement, and now starts on a production instance's FIRST
InitializeAsync (the old guard returned whenever discovery had not run
here, which on a runtime instance is always).
- ReconnectSupervisor releases each cycle's CancellationTokenSource when
its loop exits and gains an awaitable StopAsync; PerPlatformProbeWatcher
gains an awaitable StopAsync.
- EventPump treats any exception under cancellation as a clean stop, so a
teardown never wakes the supervisor.
- Internal seams for tests: an IGalaxyDeployWatchSource ctor parameter and
a session-open override forwarded to the owned GalaxyMxSession.

Review R08:1.1: an uncapped HistoryRead-Raw (NumValuesPerNode = 0) read a
tag's whole window into memory on every backend (SQL TOP(int.MaxValue),
QuestDB LIMIT, Gateway max_values = int.MaxValue + a second snapshot copy).
New ServerHistorian:MaxRawValuesPerRead (default 10 000; <= 0 unbounded with
a Validate() warning; 1 raised to 2). Each backend data source takes it,
reports it as IHistorianDataSource.MaxRawValuesPerRead (the Gateway: min
with a strict gateway's learned ceiling), so the node manager's existing
RawPageLimit paging serves N = 0 and N > cap as pages of at most the cap
with a continuation point. Independently, a backend raw read asking for 0
or more than the cap reads cap + 1 rows and is REFUSED
(HistoryReadLimitExceededException => BadTooManyOperations) when the window
holds more - never answered truncated, since the server's paging reads a
short answer as the last page. Bound through the Host registry, the
SqlServer/QuestDb providers and GatewayHistorian.CreateDataSource.
Tests: options (default/binding/warnings), provider binding, Gateway unit +
through a real SDK node manager (uncapped -> 999/998/998/605 + CPs), and a
conformance case for the SQL backends.

The Reconnecting retry timer started a new ShutdownAsync + InitializeAsync
pair on every tick whether or not the previous attempt had finished; the
generation token only discarded the older RESULT, so with an Initialize
bound longer than the cadence the teardown ran underneath an attempt still
inside the driver (the dispose-before-overwrite race). An _initInFlight
gate, cleared by the piped InitializeSucceeded/Failed, skips a tick while
an attempt is running; the pre-reconnect teardown is bounded by the
shutdown timeout; PostStop cancels an in-flight attempt before shutting
the driver down.

DriverInstanceActor.PostStop now bounds IDriver.ShutdownAsync by a
shutdownTimeout (default 5 s, logged on overrun) and then disposes the
driver (IAsyncDisposable preferred, else IDisposable) — but only on a
real stop. PreRestart flags the restart so the PostStop it triggers
skips the dispose, because a supervision restart re-uses the same
driver object (Props closure) and the host re-initialises it.
DiscoveryDriverBrowser disposes its throwaway capture/probe driver
after the bounded shutdown, including after a failed or timed-out one.

A Deployment row left in Dispatching with no NodeDeploymentState rows (HandleDispatch threw
before its SaveChanges, or the process died between the AdminOps row write and the
coordinator's Tell) was recovered with an empty expected set; the deadline then hit the
0 == 0 "race" branch and returned without touching the row, so every later StartDeployment was
refused AnotherDeploymentInFlight until someone hand-edited SQL.
- PreStart: a recovered row with no expected-ack rows is a lost dispatch. Inside the apply
deadline it is re-driven through HandleDispatch (bounded: CreatedAtUtc never moves); past it
the row is closed TimedOut with a reason naming the condition.
- HandleDispatch is idempotent on a re-dispatch (rows already seeded ARE the expected set).
- HandleDeadline takes the race branch only when _expectedAcks.Count > 0.
- The PreStart recovery read projects ArtifactBlob away (R03:3.5).

Keeps the root CLAUDE.md lean by lazy-loading per-area detail (drivers, topology,
data-plane auth, alarms, historian) only when matching files are touched.
Clears CommentChecker findings in src/ (3,280 -> 209, the remainder being false
positives like PLC-5/IEEE-754/M0.0) by adding missing summaries/params/returns,
normalising inheritdoc usage, and removing Gitea/review tracking IDs while keeping
the rationale they annotated. Comment-only: comment-stripped sources are identical
to the parent commit.
The #687/F4 crowding re-read doubled its room up to 8 re-reads with no cap, so a pathological single-ms
cluster on a streaming gateway was streamed several times over for one page. The room is now capped at
ServerHistorian:MaxTieClusterOverfetch (plumbed into GatewayHistorianDataSource as maxPreWindowRows,
default 65536); past it, or once a read has already seen more, the read is BadTooManyOperations with
PreWindowRows set.
Item 1: IHistorianDataSource.MaxRawValuesPerRead (Gateway: learned ceiling - 16 = L; 0 elsewhere, guard-tested).
RawPageLimit plans every raw page on top of #692's lookahead: with L > 0 the read (page P + boundary ties k
+ lookahead) is <= L, P = min(N, L - k - 1) (uncapped: L - k - 1); no room => straight to the tie-cluster
over-fetch (never an uncapped or underflowing request). One re-plan + re-read when the read taught a new
limit or was refused for crowding pre-window rows (HistoryReadLimitExceededException.PreWindowRows): the
page shrinks by them. Over-fetch bound min(MaxTieClusterOverfetch, L - 1); slice size never 0.
Review fixes: F1 a window starting at/before the epoch counts AVEVA's synthetic row as pre-window (a
ceiling-truncated read was reported complete); F2 the page path disables ReverseRawReader's own re-run
(cold end-only ceiling 20/N=3000 cost 3,023 reads, now <= 40); F3 crowded look-back re-read around, not
refused; F4 the #687 crowding re-read room at least doubles (up to 8 re-reads), so a cluster of hundreds
just before a resume point no longer fails on a default gateway; a crowding refusal that leaves no room
is BadTooManyOperations, never a tick-by-tick cursor.
Item 2: ServerHistorian:EventReadHorizon (default 00:00:00 = exact, unchanged). When set, every fresh
HistoryReadEvents window's earlier bound is raised to now - horizon (both directions, all backends).
Lossy by design; documented.
Item 3 (native TimeAverage/Total re-check) stays blocked on historiangw#27.
A time inside a gap of a bursty tag costs a 64-row jump read landing in the next
burst plus a bisection back across the gap (~6 reads), so the 64 + 4/time cap
refused a 1 h/day 1 Hz tag asked at noon on 30/100/300 consecutive days
(186/606/1,806 reads) that AVEVA's own AtTime served. The cap is a runaway guard
(HistoryReadDeadline bounds wall clock): now 64 + 16 per distinct time.
Regression tests for x30/x100/x300 (each <= 7 reads a time, values checked).
Docs: DateTime-hinted nodes are stepped but keep the gateway's Double (the
Gateway never historizes DateTime nodes; the SQL backends return DateTime).
