Makes the N-file array-write case usable as the real-controller hardware gate:
AB_LEGACY_ARRAY_WRITE_BASE names the first of six consecutive words (default
N7:1), each word is read first and written back in a finally, and the
neighbours are verified per word with coalescing off. Live-run green on
ab_server slc500/micrologix/plc5 x libplctag/native (39/39), and with a moved
base (N7:3).

Live run against ab_server (slc500/micrologix/plc5 x libplctag/native): with
coalescing on, the blackholed device's 20 tags are one block, i.e. one comms
fault per poll, so its backoff window opens on the second poll rather than the
first. The gate now asserts the actual contract: at most two timeouts across
three polls, the live device Good on every poll, and the third poll fast.

DriverArrayWriteSupport (Core.Abstractions, not this lane's) still lists
AbLegacy as scalar-only, so every AbLegacy array node is materialised
read-only and the new array encoder is unreachable from OPC UA. Adds the
Modbus/S7-style parity test, skipped until follow-up F1 adds the AbLegacy row
(Int/AnalogInt/Long/Float with a declared length), plus an active test pinning
exactly which element types the encoder accepts.

Review 07 U7 (AbLegacy part): probe/read/write had no OperationCanceledException
arm, so cancelling a slow read printed an unhandled-exception stack trace. The
driver work now runs through AbLegacyCommandBase.RunCancellableAsync, which
reports an operator cancellation as "Cancelled." and still propagates anything
else. (The AbCip subscribe lock and SnapshotFormatter array rendering are
other lanes' files.)

Dead config field (user decision: wire them all): the AdminUI form authors
probeTimeoutSeconds ("Admin UI probe timeout", default 5) but AbLegacyDriverProbe

non-positive value keeps the caller's budget.

Review 02 P1 / Wave 2 rule (d): AbLegacy runs PollGroupEngine but raised only

(one per poll cycle), alongside the per-tag event for legacy consumers.

Review 07 P7 (rest): adjacent words on one data file were never coalesced
(one round trip per tag) although the array path proves the transport can read
a span. Within a device pass, scalar tags on one N/B/F/L file within 8
elements of each other (block <= 200 data bytes, under the 236-byte typed-read
limit) now ride one multi-element read and are decoded from their offsets with
exactly the CLR types the single-tag path returns (int / float / bool).
Only shapes the single path decodes identically are coalesced: indirect,
sub-element, array, file-number-less (S:/I:/O:) and width-mismatched tags keep
the single path. A block the device refuses (an authored element past the end
of the file, a native PLC-5 non-N file) falls back to per-tag reads for its
members and its shape is remembered; a comms fault fails the members together.
New driver-config key coalesceReads (default true) with an AdminUI switch
(Razor change: AbLegacyDriverForm, for the Wave 4 live check). Adds an
env-gated ab_server parity case (coalesced == per-tag values).

Review 07 P7 (High): reads walked every reference of every device serially
with no backoff, so a dead device cost Timeout per tag per poll (50 tags x 2 s
= 100 s) and starved every healthy device long enough to trip the comms-loss
watchdog against a reachable one.
- ReadAsync buckets references by device and reads up to 8 devices
concurrently; each device's tags are still read in order.
- Each device has a ConnectionBackoff (1 s doubling to 30 s). Two consecutive
comms faults mark it down: the rest of that pass and every later pass fail
fast with BadCommunicationError and touch no wire until the window expires or
any answer (data path or probe) resets it. One timing-out tag does not
blacken its answering siblings.
- Cold connects are single-flight per device (ConnectGate), replacing the
per-key creation locks; a cached handle never touches the gate.
- A status/exception proving the device ANSWERED with a deterministic refusal
(not found, not allowed, out of bounds, type/size mismatch) is per-tag Bad,
keeps its handle, warns once per tag and advances LastSuccessfulRead instead
of evicting and degrading. Writes classify the same way.
- Health is written once per read: Degraded if any device faulted, Healthy if
anything read Good, LastSuccessfulRead advanced when any device answered.
Adds an env-gated ab_server case with a blackholed sibling device.

Review 07 U10 (user decision: implement array encode now). Both runtimes
encoded a scalar for an array tag: an int[] threw InvalidCastException into
BadTypeMismatch + Degraded, a scalar wrote element 0 natively, and libplctag's
SetInt32(0, ..) re-sent the stale last-read buffer for elements 1..n-1.
IAbLegacyTagRuntime gains EncodeArray; both runtimes write every element at
the element width (Int/AnalogInt 2 bytes, Long/Float 4). The driver converts
the written value before any runtime exists: each element is converted, not
exact-matched (ScadaBridge writes int[] to Int16 nodes), a length other than
the tag's element count is BadOutOfRange, an overflowing element is
BadOutOfRange, a non-array or non-numeric payload is BadTypeMismatch, and a Bit
array (bit-packed words; an encode would clobber neighbour bits) is
BadNotSupported. None of these touch health or the wire. Adds an env-gated
ab_server round trip for an N-file array write.

Review 07 H16: an array of String/Timer/Counter/Control passed the mapper, so

NotSupportedException, the generic catch evicted the handle and latched
Degraded. FromTagConfig now rejects that combination (the skip carries the
reason, Inspect/deploy gate and the AdminUI model state it), and a runtime
NotSupportedException on read or write is BadNotSupported: handle kept, no

Review 07 L7: each index value an indirect tag (N7:[N7:0]) swept through left a
per-runtime and a creation SemaphoreSlim in the device's gate tables until
shutdown. A moved index now drops the stale resolution's gates along with its
handle, and sweeps any other stale resolution of the same tag a concurrent
reader cached, so the tables stay bounded by the authored set.

Review 07 H13: _devices and _tagsByRawPath were plain dictionaries cleared and
refilled in place while the retained poll loop, the actor's GetHostStatuses and
server reads enumerated them. Both are now built locally and published by
reference under a lifecycle lock; teardown swaps in empty tables.
Lane A contract: ShutdownAsync and Dispose each retire a disjoint set of device
states, so Dispose running concurrently with a still-joining ShutdownAsync is
safe. A lifecycle epoch makes an InitializeAsync that the runtime abandoned
(overlapping the next ShutdownAsync) refuse to publish its tables, start probe
loops or write health. A runtime cached on an already-retired device state by an
in-flight read is disposed instead of leaked, and late reads/writes no longer
overwrite shutdown's health. Per-key semaphores are no longer disposed under
callers that may still hold them.

Review fix round 2 for lane F:
- N1: the init platform seed no longer runs inline under the init token. Galaxy's Tier-A
Initialize budget is 5 s, and a cold gateway DiscoverHierarchy can spend all of it, so the
OperationCanceledException rethrow failed init, opened the Initialize breaker and cost a full
rebuild per retry. InitializeAsync now only resolves the platform source (no network) and
queues a background seed tied to a per-runtime CTS that the teardown cancels. A result that
lands after its runtime was torn down is discarded.
- N2: the seed worker serves the runtime that is live when each pass STARTS, so a request made
under a new runtime while a stale pass is in flight always gets a pass of its own.
- N3: SubscribeAsync and the subscribe-once read capture the runtime generation before
SubscribeBulk and register only if it is unchanged, atomically with the teardown's registry
Clear (_registryGate). On a mismatch they release the handles and fail the call. Re-subscribe
Rebind uses the same gate, and the production rebuild clears the registry unconditionally.
- PerPlatformProbeWatcher re-checks its stop after the SubscribeBulk await, atomically with
the record and publish. A pass that straddles StopAsync releases the handles it acquired
instead of writing the probe entry back into a cleared registry.

Review fix round 1 for lane F:
- The ScanState probe watcher is seeded at InitializeAsync from a platform-only
DiscoverHierarchy query (IGalaxyPlatformSource / GatewayGalaxyPlatformSource over the owned
repository client) and re-seeded on every deploy-watcher rediscovery. The runtime never
calls DiscoverAsync on a live driver, so per-platform host status was unreachable in
production. A failed fetch logs a Warning and never fails init; re-seeds coalesce so a
deploy during an in-flight pass still gets a pass that starts after it.
- EnsureEventPumpStarted refuses while the runtime is stopping, BEFORE reusing the live pump
(that pump belongs to the dying subscriber), and the production rebuild disposes any stale
pump before wiring the new subscriber.
- TeardownRuntimeAsync closes the MX session under the caller's token linked with a 5 s
SessionCloseDeadline, so a blackholed gateway cannot hold DriverInstanceActor.PostStop for 30 s.
- A runtime generation counter, bumped by every teardown, is re-checked before each Rebind
in ResubscribeAllAsync, so a replay-gap re-snapshot that straddles a teardown cannot
resurrect handles into the cleared registry.

The SDK's DisposeAsync closes with no token, i.e. under the 30 s DefaultCallTimeout, so a
blackholed gateway parked the driver's teardown for the whole of it. CloseAsync(ct) runs the
close under the caller's token, drops the channel on a cancelled/failed close (the gateway
reaps the session on its idle lease) and leaves the session re-openable. A close followed by
the final dispose closes the gateway session once.

Review 2026-10-21 G-5, G-6, G-8 ("wire them all").
- G-5: GatewayGalaxyHierarchySource now pages the DiscoverHierarchy RPC
itself (DiscoverHierarchyRawAsync) at Repository.DiscoverPageSize. The
mxaccessgw client's typed DiscoverHierarchyAsync overloads hard-code a
5000-row page and DiscoverHierarchyOptions carries no page size, so the
authored knob reached nothing; the raw request takes page_size on the
wire, so it is honoured here (non-positive → 5000). The loop keeps the
client's repeated-page-token guard.
- G-6: GalaxyDriverProbe reads ProbeTimeoutSeconds from the config and
runs under min(caller budget, configured cap) — the knob can shorten a
probe, never extend it past the host's budget. The TCP preflight now
shares that deadline instead of hanging on the caller's token alone.
- G-8: GatewayGalaxyDataWriter runs a batch as one lane per distinct tag,
concurrently and bounded at 8 (MaxConcurrentWriteLanes); same-tag
writes keep their authored order inside one lane and results land at
their request's index. Acks stay serial by design.
- GalaxyDriverForm: help text now says what the two knobs actually do.

Review 2026-10-21 G-4, G-7, G-11, G-10.
- G-4: PerPlatformProbeWatcher publishes its probe handles into the
driver's SubscriptionRegistry under the reserved ProbeSubscriptionId
(-1), so the EventPump's fan-out finally reaches the watcher — every
ScanState event used to be dropped as "stale after unsubscribe" and
per-platform host status never updated. ResubscribeAllAsync delegates
the reserved entry to the watcher's new ResubscribeAsync, so the probe
survives a reconnect; StopAsync removes the entry. Probe traffic is
routed by the reserved handle and never reaches the public OnDataChange.
The watcher is also built on the seam path (subscriber only), which is
what makes the wiring testable without a gateway.
- G-7: GalaxyDiscoverer.DiscoverAsync returns the hierarchy it fetched and
the driver selects its $WinPlatform/$AppEngine probe targets from that
same sweep instead of asking the gateway for the whole galaxy twice.
- G-11: OnPumpDataChange stamps LastSuccessfulRead from inbound stream
data, throttled (1 s default), so the comms-loss watchdog has honest
liveness evidence under a Degraded supervisor.
- G-10: an EventPump dispatch-loop exit that is not a cancellation now
reports a stream fault so the supervisor recreates the pump, instead of
leaving a deaf pump reporting Healthy.

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 #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).
H1: the walk-back reset its width after a full segment and discarded a full
whole-remainder read, so a dense tag that stopped reporting weeks ago gave up
after 65 reads (BadTooManyOperations). It now gallops (x4, whole-remainder read
after two empties) and then BISECTS once any stored row is known below — a full
segment's (incl. a full whole-remainder read's) last row, or an earlier window
read's last row: (mid, hi] empty => hi = mid; full => known = its last row;
complete with rows => done; one density-aimed segment after a full read until an
aimed segment comes back empty; below 2 ms the whole stretch from the known row
(never a 100 ns step). Stopped 1 h..365 d with 5 y history: 6-18 reads at
1/min, 21-25 at 1 Hz, 25-31 at 10 Hz.
M1: a jump read asks for 64 rows (1,000 times over 10 y: ~66k rows, was ~1M).
L1: per-request read cap 64 + 4 x distinct times with a clear message; a strict
ceiling below 4 rows is refused naming the ceiling.
L2: DateTime hints are stepped. L3: under an integer hint a NaN/inf or
out-of-Int64-range value is unusable, never saturated Good.
L5: conformance Int64 AtTime asserts the type. L4: docs name the backend
differences. Nit: the window read end is clamped to now + 1 day.
Reviewer harnesses (Scratch693Fuzz/Cost, not committed): 0 differential diffs
over 2,400 cases.
Review follow-up: on the Gateway every value is a Double (AVEVA stores a Boolean
as a 0/1 Int2), so the raw-evaluated AtTime interpolated a Boolean node to 0.5.
- IHistorianDataSource gains a default-interface overload
ReadAtTimeAsync(fullReference, timestamps, TypeCode? valueType, ct) that
forwards to the existing one (SqlServer/QuestDB/Null/fakes unchanged).
- OtOpcUaNodeManager.HistoryReadAtTime passes the node's scalar DataType
(AtTimeValueType: built-in type -> TypeCode; arrays/other types => null);
Raw and UNS NodeIds alike.
- GatewayAtTimeReader converts each raw row to the hinted kind BEFORE the shared
AtTimeEvaluator runs (Boolean = value != 0 => stepped; integers => Int64 =>
interpolated, rounded half away from zero, returned as the node's integer
type; floats Double), so the evaluator's own type branch decides.
- AtTimeEvaluator boxed every interpolated Int64 as a Double (`cond ? (long)x :
v` widens to double); its "keeping its type" test passed because Shouldly
ShouldBe compares numbers across types. Fixed (affects SqlServer/QuestDB too)
and pinned with ShouldBeOfType.
Gateway HistoryRead-AtTime passed AVEVA's own interpolation through: live it
answered the previous value as Good at a stored NULL's own time, null + Bad at
a Good sample right after a NULL, a drifted 99.99999999944 for a stored 100,
and no Interpolated bit. It is now served from raw gateway reads and evaluated
with Sql.Common's AtTimeEvaluator, as the SQL backends do (Part 11 §6.5.4).
GatewayAtTimeReader: one <=1,024-row forward window read [first-1ms, last+1ms]
for the batch, a walk-back (density-seeded, x4 growth, whole-remainder shortcut,
bisects dense history) for the first time's prev, and an 18-row probe for the
last time's next; truncated window reads continue or jump with a density-sized
margin. All bounds whole ms; a row counts only strictly inside its request
(AVEVA's boundary row never a sample); Bad rows value-less (#690); never past
now + 1 day; strict-gateway ceiling learned (#691.3) without re-probing.
10 dense times = 1 read (exact) / 3 (interpolated); 10 hourly = 12.
Kill switch ServerHistorian:GatewayAtTimeFromRaw (default true; false = the
old AVEVA passthrough). Known limit: the wire carries no data type, so numeric
tags interpolate as Double (Boolean/integer nodes are not stepped/rounded as on
the SQL backends).
1. The at-or-after bound read on a forward-only backend (Gateway) ends at
now + ReverseRawReader.LookAhead instead of DateTime.MaxValue (the gateway
only checks start <= end, so a year-9999 end reached AVEVA); a bound beyond
the horizon is not found without a read. SqlServer/QuestDB keep MaxValue:
they bind it safely and may hold samples further ahead. The Gateway fake now
refuses far-future ends, so the missing-end-bound test is no longer vacuous.
3. No data and no bound found (whole read empty) => GoodNoData, no values —
the pre-bounds answer (6.5.3.2: success only if one or both bounds exist).
A one-value page whose start bound is missing first checks there is data or
a found end bound.
4. ServerHistorian:HonorReturnBounds (default true); false ignores ReturnBounds
as before #691, including the modified-read Bad_InvalidArgument.
The start bound is the stored prior sample at its own time (walked back), never
the synthetic boundary row stamped at the query start; a stored NULL is a Bad
bound; reverse end bound walks back too.
The node manager composes the start/end bounds from each backend's existing raw
reads (one authority, HistoryBounds): at-or-before = a capped reverse read
(native, or ReverseRawReader's walk-back on a forward-only backend — never
AVEVA's synthetic boundary row), at-or-after = a capped forward read. Bounds
count toward NumValuesPerNode, the start bound leads the first page, the end
bound ends the last (carried in the continuation point). Missing bound =
Bad_BoundNotFound (null, at the bound time; one-sided reads ±1 s from the
previous value, Table 1 footnotes a/b). A modified read with ReturnBounds is
Bad_InvalidArgument (Part 11 6.5.3.3).
The .NET SDK's ReadRawModifiedDetails defaults ReturnBounds to TRUE; the
existing tests built details without setting it and now set it false.
Oracle: every row of Part 11 Table 1 over three backend shapes, plus paging
concatenation, ties, Bad bounds, microsecond truncation; conformance pins the
lookup primitives on SqlServer + QuestDB.
GatewayHistorianDataSource.ReadEventsAsync sized its result list to
maxEvents, which is int.MaxValue for NumValuesPerNode = 0: every
uncapped Gateway events read (forward on master, and the new walked
reverse one) threw 'Array dimensions exceeded' and counted as a backend
failure. Capacity is bounded at 1024. The events walk delegate moved to
ReverseEventsReader so it is tested over the real Gateway source
(forward uncapped, reverse uncapped, reverse capped).
A reverse or end-only capped events read on a backend without
SupportsReverseEvents (Gateway, Null) was refused
BadHistoryOperationUnsupported (explicit reverse) or answered with the
OLDEST N ascending (end-only, #675). It is now served newest-first by
the same ReverseWalk as raw reads: page-sized ms-aligned segments,
never answered from a read the source flagged truncated, ties sorted by
EventId (the gateway orders by event time only - the fake shuffles
them per call), one extra event walked to signal 'more', uncapped = one
forward read reversed, and the width + proven-empty stretch carried in
the events cursor. The oversized-cluster over-fetch keeps exactly the
events at T in the same order. A tie cluster over the budget is
BadTooManyOperations. Docs note the gateway's EventReadMaxRows must be
unlimited (it truncates silently).
With StartTime at or before the epoch, RequestStartFor has no margin left, so
AVEVA's synthetic no-data/boundary row is stamped exactly at StartTime and was
kept: raw reads returned a fabricated Bad sample at 1970-01-01 and the per-sample
aggregates put it in bucket 0 (Start/End fabricated, Min/Max status Uncertain).
IsWindowSample and the aggregate loop now drop any row with t <= ProbeFloor
(RawAggregateReader.IsAfterFloor), matching the #686 walk-back's assumption.
- M1/M2: when the 1 ms pre-window margin (boundary row + stored samples, e.g. a
>16-sample tie cluster at start-1ms / lastTs-1ms) uses up the cap + 16 budget,
re-read ONCE asking for cap + m + 16 (m = pre-window rows seen); fail
BadTooManyOperations only if the re-read is still short because of them. The
raw budget is no longer clamped at the gateway default ceiling (AVEVA always
emits the boundary row, so page sizes 999,985-1,000,000 always came back
short); the #688 clamp stays on the per-sample aggregate path only.
- Merge trap: NumValuesPerNode 0 => int.MaxValue, never through the clamp.
- L3: the forward end is exclusive ([start, end), the IHistorianDataSource
contract); a point read (start == end, the tie-cluster over-fetch) inclusive.
- RequestStartFor never goes before the Unix epoch (#686's walk-back floor).
- L4 (docs): an Uncertain native row for an all-NULL interval is unverified live.
The default MaxTimeWeightedRawRows (1,000,000) + 18 exceeded the gateway's
default MaxValuesCeiling (1,000,000), so with AllowStreamingBeyondCeiling=false
every Gateway per-sample aggregate read was refused. The allowance is now clamped
at 1,000,000 while the cap is at or under it (RawAggregateReader.
ClampToGatewayCeiling); a cap above it keeps its allowance. Raw reads are not
clamped (rebased onto #686).
