Adds the driver-expansion program design (umbrella: universal Discover-backed
browser + MTConnect, MQTT/Sparkplug B, BACnet/IP, SQL poll, Omron, Modbus RTU;
MELSEC deferred) plus the per-driver research reports.
All docs went through a 7-agent parallel review against the codebase before
this commit. Highlights fixed in review:
- universal browser: FOCAS FixedTree fills post-connect -> UntilStable settle
+ FixedTree.Enabled patch; MQTT reconciled to bespoke (was contradicting the
program doc's SupportsOnlineDiscovery=false verdict)
- modbus-rtu: SerialPort.ReadTimeout doesn't bound async BaseStream reads ->
linked-CTS per-op deadline (R2-01 class); BCL enum reuse would leak
System.IO.Ports into Contracts
- bacnet: DiscoveryRediscoverPolicy enum name; UDP 47808 contention; live
suite rewritten around unicast Who-Is + BBMD (broadcast doesn't cross VMs)
- sql-poll: real tier registration via DriverFactoryRegistry.Register;
blackhole gate must not docker-pause the shared central SQL Server
- mqtt: Sparkplug v3.0 STATE topic form; first-in-repo proto codegen noted
- omron: host hardcodes isIdempotent:false today (retry seam unshipped);
v1 scopes UDTs to dotted-leaf access
- mtconnect: SecurityClassification.ViewOnly; factory ParseEnum<T> pattern
- program doc: both valid enum-serialization patterns; IRediscoverable is
change-signal-gated; RTU P2 adds System.IO.Ports; label is host-side
