Joseph Doherty b4480bf45a test(mtconnect): live write legs against the AllowPut fixture
The fixture Agent flips to AllowPut = true (its comment rewritten: writes are in
scope now that the driver implements IWritable) and the suite grows three
env-gated write legs, all still Assert.Skip-clean with no Agent reachable.

Devices.xml gains a DataItem, and that is the deliberate part. The write target
has to be one the SHDR adapter NEVER feeds, or the assertion races the stream --
but it must NOT be the existing never-fed fixture_block: the first successful
write takes an item off UNAVAILABLE for the life of the container, which would
silently rob Read_maps_an_unavailable_observation_to_BadNoCommunication of its
subject. So fixture_writeback (free-text EVENT, PROGRAM_COMMENT) is a separate,
dedicated target, overridable via MTCONNECT_WRITE_TARGET for a run pointed at a
real machine tool.

The three legs:

  * Round trip -- driver write accepted, then the injected value read back off
    /current over plain HTTP (not through the parser under test) AND through the
    driver's own ReadAsync. The value carries a TickCount64 suffix: the Agent
    keeps an injected observation for the container's life, so a constant would
    be satisfied by a previous run's leftover.
  * Agent refusal -> BadCommunicationError. The design doc doubted this leg was
    constructible ("an id in the probe but refused by the agent"); it is, and the
    mechanism is BuildWriteTargets. Write targets are derived from the tags the
    BINDING serves, with the device resolved from the probe model and falling
    back to the configured deviceName -- so an authored tag naming an id the
    Agent never declared, on a driver whose deviceName IS set, resolves to a real
    URL and is POSTed. That is exactly the shape a stale tag has after a DataItem
    is renamed. The second half of the test is the falsifiability control: the
    SAME unknown id with NO deviceName has no URL and must be refused locally as
    BadNodeIdUnknown. Two different codes is what proves the first write actually
    reached the Agent rather than being short-circuited into a look-alike.
  * Disabled gate -- write.enabled absent returns BadNotWritable AND /current is
    unchanged from the snapshot taken just before, which is what distinguishes
    "refused" from "reported refused and sent anyway".

RAN LIVE, not just compiled: the fixture was brought up locally (OrbStack,
MTCONNECT_AGENT_HOST_PORT=5555 -- macOS AirPlay squats :5000) and the whole
suite passed 15/15, 0 skipped. Evidence beyond the green: the Agent reports
<ProgramComment dataItemId="fixture_writeback">OTOPCUA-WRITE-2CBCB530</...> and
its log carries "Error processing request:
/OtFixtureCnc?otopcua_no_such_data_item_2CBCB3D9=refuse-me" -- the refusal leg
demonstrably went to the wire. Offline (no Agent) the suite is 15 skipped, 0
failed; build 0 warnings / 0 errors.

Note for anyone reading agent.cfg: BufferSize = 14 is an EXPONENT (2^14 = 16384
observations), not a 14-deep ring, and /current is answered from the Agent's
per-DataItem checkpoint anyway -- so eviction is not a hazard for a write
read-back even on this busy fixture stream.

LiveOptions/ConfigJson/LiveDriverAsync gained writeEnabled + deviceName
parameters, both defaulted off/null so every pre-existing test still runs
against the shipped read-only driver whatever the Agent's AllowPut says. The
config JSON sources write.enabled FROM the options object, so the parsed config
can never disagree with the options a test thinks it built.

Joseph Doherty cf9ce91e51 test(mtconnect): live-Agent docker fixture + integration suite (Tasks 19+20)
The first and only thing in the MTConnect workstream that exercises the driver
against a real Agent; everything else runs on canned XML.

Fixture (Docker/): two services, both stock images with this folder bind-mounted.
- `agent`   mtconnect/agent:2.7.0.12 on :5000. NOTE the repo name: the source
            project is mtconnect/cppagent but the PUBLISHED image is
            mtconnect/agent; mtconnect/cppagent does not exist on Docker Hub.
- `adapter` a stdlib SHDR feeder. Required, not optional: the agent image ships
            only the binary + schemas/styles, so a lone Agent answers /probe and
            then reports every observation UNAVAILABLE forever, which can prove
            nothing about reads or streaming.

Devices.xml seeds one DataItem per inference branch (SAMPLE+units, TIME_SERIES,
PART_COUNT/LINE_NUMBER, controlled vocab, DATA_SET, CONDITION), gives every named
item `name != id` (the inverse of the hand-authored unit fixtures), and leaves one
EVENT permanently unfed so UNAVAILABLE -> BadNoCommunication has a live subject.

Suite (12 tests) asserts STRUCTURALLY against the Agent's own /probe response, never
by literal id, so it survives an edit to Devices.xml and can be pointed at a real
machine tool via MTCONNECT_AGENT_ENDPOINT. It skips cleanly (12/12) when no Agent
answers, and each test carries a hard [Fact(Timeout)] so a half-up fixture cannot
wedge a build.

Three findings from bringing the fixture up, each now pinned in a comment:
- agent.cfg must be pure ASCII; one non-ASCII byte in a COMMENT makes the config
  parser reject the whole file with a bare "Failed / Stopped at line: N" and exit.
- `sampleCount` is an attribute of a TIME_SERIES observation, not of a DataItem
  declaration. A real Agent meeting one on a declaration DROPS THE ENTIRE DATA ITEM
  from the device model, so the inference only ever sees null and a live TIME_SERIES
  tag is always variable-length. Asserted, not ignored.
- The Agent's own <Agent> self-model publishes update-rate SAMPLEs that tick whether
  or not any adapter is attached. Excluding them is load-bearing: with them included
  the "live stream delivered a changed value" test passed with the fixture's data
  source deliberately stopped.

MTConnectError-under-HTTP-200 is NOT covered live and cannot be: cppagent 2.7 answers
an unknown device 404 and an out-of-range sequence 400, each with a well-formed error
body. That shape stays canned-only, and the suite says so.
