A browse-committed AB CIP / TwinCAT / FOCAS tag bound with its model's DEFAULT
data type, not the one the device reported. A browsed REAL committed as
`{"tagPath":"Pump_1_Speed","dataType":"DInt"}` — and those three drivers decode
the wire bytes by that field, not by the raw row's OPC UA DataType — so the tag
read four bytes of a float through an integer decoder and published a plausible
wrong number with no error raised anywhere. FOCAS was missed when #536 was filed.
The type is CARRIED, not derived. Reverse-mapping the leaf's driver-agnostic
DriverDataType looks like the smaller fix and is wrong: SInt/Int/DInt/USInt/UInt
all collapse into Int32 on the way out of the driver, so that version would bind
a 16-bit INT as a 32-bit DINT while appearing to fix the REAL. Drivers now state
their own type name on DriverAttributeInfo.NativeDataType, which reaches the
picker as AttributeInfo.AddressFields["dataType"] and the commit mapper from
there. A leaf that states nothing keeps the model default — the pre-#536
behaviour, kept deliberately as the fallback rather than a guess.
Numeric strings are refused before parsing: Enum.TryParse accepts "9" for any
enum and Enum.IsDefined then confirms it, so an unguarded parse would bind a tag
to a type nobody named. A test caught this in the first version of the guard.
--- and the other half, which the fixture was hiding ---
Test Connect on a device with NO authored tags — every AB CIP device at the
moment an operator first presses the button — reported "CIP handshake failed"
against a healthy controller. That was written down as a fixture limitation
("ab_server doesn't implement @raw_cpu_type"). Both halves of that were wrong:
* @raw_cpu_type is not a libplctag special tag at all (only @raw, @tags and
@udt/ are), so it goes out as an ordinary symbolic name that no controller
defines, and the controller's "tag does not exist" IS the successful answer.
* ab_server answered an unresolvable tag path with CIP 0x03 where a Logix
controller answers 0x04 — ErrorBadParam vs ErrorNotFound, which the probe
classifies oppositely. Fixed in vendored patch 0002.
* With the fixture then telling the truth, the real defect surfaced:
AbCipDriverProbe.IsReachableException matched the native C status spellings
("STATUS_NOT_FOUND"), but libplctag.NET throws with the MANAGED enum name
("ErrorNotFound"). Those substrings can never match, so the reachable
classification could not fire on the exception path — which is the path every
no-authored-tags probe takes. This was failing on real hardware too, not just
against the sim. It now recovers the Status and defers to IsReachableStatus,
so there is one classification rather than two that can drift.
Rejected: switching the fallback to @tags. libplctag builds a tag-listing tag
with NO network I/O, so it reports OK against any TCP listener — measured green
against a Mosquitto broker.
Verification: full solution suite green. Falsification runs confirm exactly the
intended tests go red — 9 for the type carry, 3 (the reachable statuses only) for
the probe classification. Live on docker-dev: browse-committed TestString/
Motor_Run/TestSINT now store String/Bool/SInt, alongside last session's
Pump_1_Speed still holding the wrong DInt. TestSINT is the falsifier — its row
DataType is Int32, identical to TestDINT's, so no reverse map could have produced
"SInt".
Known consequence: pre-existing browse-committed tags keep their wrong dataType;
the fix applies to new commits only.

- Driver.AbCip.Cli-003: SubscribeCommand prints the 'Subscribed' banner
BEFORE wiring OnDataChange so the main thread can't interleave its
write with the poll-thread handler.
- Driver.AbCip.Cli-004: AbCipCommandBase.Timeout and SubscribeCommand
validate TimeoutMs / IntervalMs and throw CommandException on
non-positive values.
- Driver.AbCip.Cli-005: every command now calls FlushLogging() in its
finally block.
- Driver.AbCip.Cli-006: Timeout init throws NotSupportedException with a
pointer at TimeoutMs instead of silently swallowing assignments.
- Driver.AbCip.Cli-007: added AbCipCommandBaseTests covering BuildOptions
shape, probe / controller-browse / alarm toggles, host address, family
selection, tag list passthrough.
- Driver.AbCip.Cli-008: rewrote the opening paragraph in
docs/Driver.AbCip.Cli.md to credit the six-CLI roster with a pointer
at docs/DriverClis.md.

Rewrite src/ and tests/ project paths in docs, CLAUDE.md, README.md, and
test-fixture READMEs to the new module-folder layout (Core/Server/Drivers/
Client/Tooling). References to retired v1 projects (Galaxy.Host/Proxy/Shared,
the legacy monolithic test projects) are left untouched.

Second + third of the four driver test clients. Both follow the same shape as
otopcua-modbus-cli (#249) and consume Driver.Cli.Common for DriverCommandBase +
SnapshotFormatter.
New projects:
- src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.AbCip.Cli/ — otopcua-abcip-cli.
AbCipCommandBase carries gateway (ab://host[:port]/cip-path) + family
(ControlLogix/CompactLogix/Micro800/GuardLogix) + timeout.
Commands: probe, read, write, subscribe.
Value parser covers every AbCipDataType atomic type (Bool, SInt..LInt,
USInt..ULInt, Real, LReal, String, Dt); Structure writes refused as
out-of-scope for the CLI.
- src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.AbLegacy.Cli/ — otopcua-ablegacy-cli.
AbLegacyCommandBase carries gateway + plc-type (Slc500/MicroLogix/Plc5/
LogixPccc) + timeout.
Commands: probe (default address N7:0), read, write, subscribe.
Value parser covers Bit, Int, Long, Float, AnalogInt, String, and the
three sub-element types (TimerElement / CounterElement / ControlElement
all land on int32 at the wire).
Tests (35 new, 73 cumulative across the driver CLI family):
- AB CIP: 17 tests — ParseValue happy-paths for every Logix atomic type,
failure cases (non-numeric / bool garbage), tag-name synthesis.
- AB Legacy: 18 tests — ParseValue coverage (Bit / Int / AnalogInt / Long /
Float / String / sub-elements), PCCC address round-trip in tag names
including bit-within-word + sub-element syntax.
Docs:
- docs/Driver.AbCip.Cli.md — family ↔ CIP-path cheat sheet + examples per
command + typical workflows.
- docs/Driver.AbLegacy.Cli.md — PCCC address primer (file letters → CLI
--type) + known ab_server upstream gap cross-ref to #224 close-out.
Wiring:
- ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx grew 4 entries (2 src + 2 tests).
Full-solution build clean. `otopcua-abcip-cli --help` + `otopcua-ablegacy-cli
--help` verified end-to-end.
Next up (#251): S7 + TwinCAT CLIs, same pattern.
