MAJOR-1: the SDK skips TypeInfo.IsInstanceOfDataType on any node with an
OnWriteValue handler (every writable equipment node), and the node manager's
fail-fast treated numeric<->numeric as compatible, so a UInt32[] to a Galaxy
Int32 array matched MxValueEncoder's int[] arm by CLR covariance and was
written bit-reinterpreted with a Good result. EvaluateEquipmentWriteStructure
now matches an ARRAY write's element type exactly (Byte[]/ByteString the only
equivalence; Variant[]/object[] refused) -> BadTypeMismatch, nothing
dispatched. MxValueEncoder's int[]/long[] arms are exact-type guarded too, and
the Galaxy parity test's false "the SDK refuses" premise is corrected (the
UInt32/UInt64 exclusion is now the encoder's own answer). Scalar writes keep
numeric widening by decision: consumers write CLR-typed values (Double to a
Float node) and every driver's scalar encoder range-checks.
MINOR: Modbus row honours maxRegistersPerWrite (smallest of DriverConfig /
the tag's DeviceConfig, default 123) and FC15's 1968-coil ceiling, and
requires region + numeric address; Modbus/S7/Galaxy require isArray + integer
arrayLength >= 1 (Galaxy: an unbounded node would let a short write resize the
attribute); an array value to a scalar node is refused inline. Docs: Uns.md
array-write rules + upgrade note (ReadWrite array tags become client-writable
on first boot), Modbus.md, Galaxy.md.

Array nodes were forced read-only for every driver. A new single authority,
Core.Abstractions DriverArrayWriteSupport, says which (driver, element type)
pairs encode a whole-array write: Modbus (Coils / numeric HoldingRegisters),
S7 (Byte/Int16/UInt16/Int32/UInt32/Float32), OpcUaClient (pass-through) and
Galaxy (Boolean/Int32/Int64/Float/Double/String/DateTime). Everything else
stays read-only, so the server never advertises a write the driver refuses.
- Composer derives RawTagPlan.ArrayWritable + UnsReferenceVariable
.BackingArrayWritable at compose time (both seams, byte-parity); the
applier's one writability rule is Writable && (!IsArray || ArrayWritable)
for materialise and surgical paths, raw and UNS alike.
- ArrayWritable is on the classifier's surgical raw-tag whitelist and
mirrored on the UNS record (UnsReferenceBackingParityTests updated).
- Node manager refuses a wrong-length / non-array value on an array node
(BadTypeMismatch) and any IndexRange write (BadWriteNotSupported) inline,
before dispatch; WriteOperate/ACL gates and the revert are unchanged.
- Per-driver parity tests pin the table against the real Modbus write path,
S7 EncodeArrayBlock and Galaxy MxValueEncoder (UInt32/UInt64 excluded:
array covariance reinterprets their bits).
- Over-the-wire proof in OpcUaServer.IntegrationTests (ArrayWriteWireTests).

Review of 167a48bf (FIX-FIRST): making native Confirmed/Shelving method-owned produced over-the-wire
regressions — a native TimedShelve never expired, a native OneShotShelve was silently undone by
SetActiveState, an OPC UA ack left a native alarm Unconfirmed forever (ScadaBridge maps ConfirmedState),
and any local state was per-node, never reaching the redundant peer.
- Reverted: the driver projection owns native Confirmed/Shelving again.
- Native Confirm / OneShotShelve / TimedShelve / Unshelve return BadNotSupported with no event, as native
Enable/Disable already did. Scripted alarms keep every method.
- A native Acknowledge re-asserts ConfirmedState=true and the projection's Retain rule (Active || !Acked)
before its single report. The native condition starts Confirmed.
- The method path reports only when the state actually moved (before/after). A re-ack is silent and
restores the Confirmed/Retain that the SDK flips, so a scripted node never drifts from its engine.
AddComment always reports.
- Docs: native alarms support Acknowledge/AddComment only; the Secondary-node native-ack flap is documented.
Tests: refused native methods (5), native ack stays Confirmed through echo/clear/reactivate, scripted
TimedShelve expires with exactly one unshelve event, re-ack silent (native + scripted). Each fix falsified.

#587 — a client Acknowledge/Confirm/AddComment/Shelve/Enable/Disable emitted no condition event: the SDK's
ReportStateChange is gated on AutoReportStateChanges (never set), and the engine re-projection found the node
already in the new state and was suppressed by the delta-gate. WireMethodTransitionReporting now wraps each
method's SDK handler and, on Good, reports exactly once via ReportConditionEvent, under Lock so the routed
re-projection cannot race in ahead of the SDK applying the state. Independent of the SDK's imprecise
AreEventsMonitored bookkeeping. The shelve methods' state is applied by the wrapper (the SDK never applies
it). Native conditions' Confirmed/Shelving are method-owned (NativeAlarmProjector's constants would re-report
every ack and undo every shelve). MaxTimeShelved set to int.MaxValue ms at materialise — Create() left it 0
and every TimedShelve failed BadShelvingTimeOutOfRange. Wrong "SDK auto-fires (E2)" comments fixed.
#588 — with ACL on, GeneralModelChange and AuditWriteUpdate events no longer go to Server.ReportEvent
(ungated to every i=2253 item): ReportToServerObject delivers them per item, a model change narrowed to the
Affected nodes the session may Browse (dropped when none), an audit write only with Read on its source plus
the SDK audit/encryption guard. Flag off: unchanged.
#586 review: materialise raises only the new condition's monitored unit (was a full O(N) reconcile per
condition ⇒ O(N²) deploys under Lock).

Review of 75e559f6:
- OnConditionReportEvent now mirrors MonitoredNode2's AuditEventState guard (only while Server.Auditing,
over SignAndEncrypt / https-uabinary). Conditions report their Part 9 method audit events through
themselves, so the first cut queued AuditConditionAcknowledge (i=8944) etc. to every i=2253 item with
auditing off -- the removed folder->Server forward used to drop them.
- ReconcileAllEventsMonitoring keeps one AreEventsMonitored unit on every materialised condition while any
i=2253 item exists (called from SubscribeToAllEvents, materialise, removal, rebuild), so
ConditionState.EventsMonitored() is true on a server whose only subscribers are Server-object items.
A protected SubscribeToEvents override no-ops all-events items, which stops the SDK's AddRootNotifier
(unsubscribe: true bug) taking that unit back from conditions rebuilt under a live item.
Flag-off over-the-wire coverage: Acknowledge/AddComment with and without a folder co-subscriber (no audit
event, transitions once each), EventsMonitored on/after-rebuild/off, rebuild survival with one copy per
event, native + scripted conditions once each, refresh once per condition with RefreshStart/End; plus an
ACL-on native-vs-scripted notifier-folder decision. Falsified: removing the audit guard reds both audit
cases; removing the reconcile reds the monitored test.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ef2ozxS7QPanGT8uoATbTe
Server-object (all-events) items bypassed the ACL entirely: the SDK attached them to every root
notifier's fan-out via SubscribeToAllEvents, and a root notifier with no direct subscriber forwarded
to the core Server object, which this node manager never sees.
- SubscribeToAllEvents override records the item and attaches it to nothing.
- Each condition's own OnReportEvent (fires once per event) queues the event to each recorded item
whose session holds Subscribe on the condition (RawPath) or any notifier folder it reports through
-- the per-folder path's question; otherwise mirrors MonitoredNode2.OnReportEvent.
- The root-notifier forward to the core Server object (OnReportEvent override) is dropped.
- ConditionRefresh on an i=2253 item is filtered the same way (once per condition).
- Revalidation is implicit: every event re-asks the authorizer (per-generation cache, key expiry and
revocation re-checked per call). Inert with Security:Acl:Enabled=false.
Over-the-wire tests: no-grant vs granted (positive control), created-before-deploy, revoke/restore by
deployment, key expiry with no tick, refresh, and flag-off. Falsified: disabling the filter, or
restoring the forward, turns the enforcement tests red.

#562: direct event (alarm) monitored items are now tracked in a second map
(_eventItems, fed by the SubscribeToEvents override) and re-authorized by
RevalidateMonitoredItems on both triggers (DataPlaneAuthorityState.Changed and
AclRevalidationTimer). A denied item is detached via the SDK's own protected
SubscribeToEvents(unsubscribe: true) - never MonitoringMode.Disabled - and
re-attached on restore; a client delete of a stood-down item is absorbed.
Over-the-wire tests: revoke -> stop (positive control on a still-granted
notifier) -> restore -> resume; clock-driven expiry via the real timer with a
control session; delete-while-stood-down is not resurrected; unexpired
negative control. Server-object (all-events) subscriptions are documented as
outside the ACL (observed over the wire).
#563: DataPlaneAuthorizer.AuthorizeKeyUsable runs the FindUsableKey probe on
the WriteOperate and AlarmAck role gates regardless of Security:Acl:Enabled,
so an expired or deployment-disabled key loses its activation-time roles on
its open session. Anonymous (no key id) is unaffected; reads/subscriptions
stay ungated with the flag off. No new flag.

The XML remark above OtOpcUaNodeManager.Browse still carried the exact claim the
security.md correction in 22ae1836 removed: there is ONE shared root folder
(V3NodeIds.SharedRootFolderId, raw namespace) fronting both realm trees, not one
per namespace. Rewritten to name the anchor, the ns=0 listing behaviour, and the
zero-segment realm-root mapping that now admits transit holders.
Also completes the BuildScope collision remark (code-review Minor): the degenerate
raw folder literally named OtOpcUa loses the accidental grant leak onto the
anchor's Read/Write that the old one-segment scope allowed — a narrowing,
fail-closed side effect, now recorded.
Comment-only change; addresses the code review's sole Important + Minor.
With Security:Acl:Enabled=true, a session holding any grant narrower than
Cluster could not browse the served address space at all — confirmed by the
live gate.
Mechanism. Both realm trees hang under ONE anchor folder minted in
CreateAddressSpace: NodeId("OtOpcUa", <raw ns>). ResolveParentFolder parents
every top-level raw folder AND every top-level UNS area under it, and the
Browse override throws BadUserAccessDenied for the WHOLE call when its source
node is denied. DataPlaneAuthorizer.BuildScope split that identifier like a
path, producing {Kind: Raw, Segments: ["OtOpcUa"]} — but trie grant paths are
["raw", <RawPath segments…>] and "OtOpcUa" is never a path segment, so
PermissionTrie.HasBrowseTransit failed at the realm-child lookup and
CollectMatches yielded only Cluster-scoped grants. Deny, at the front door.
The trie already handled a zero-segment scope as "the realm root, itself an
ancestor of everything granted in that realm" (PermissionTrie.cs:101-118) —
no production path had ever produced that scope. This wires it up.
- V3NodeIds.SharedRootFolderId names the anchor identity; CreateAddressSpace
now mints the NodeId/BrowseName/DisplayName from it (behaviour-identical,
makes the coupling explicit).
- BuildScope maps that identifier (realm-qualified to Raw — in the UNS
namespace s=OtOpcUa is an ordinary Area) onto the zero-segment Raw scope.
- Evaluate adds a second-realm OR-leg for Browse on the anchor only: it fronts
both trees, so a principal whose only Browse grant lives in the UNS tree
still enters through this raw node. Browse only; transit confers navigation,
never read/write/subscribe.
- No trie, evaluator or builder change. No reordering above the decision cache
— key revocation is still re-checked before the lookup — and the cache key
is unchanged (the combined verdict caches under the anchor's own
identifier/realm; a generation advance clears it).
Falsifications actually run (implement-then-revert-the-line, plus one
genuine red-first):
- DataPlaneAuthorizerTests: the 7 new facts were written BEFORE the fix and 4
went red (the 3 deny-only ones passed vacuously, as a deny-only test must).
- Deleting the UNS OR-leg reddens exactly one fact,
The_shared_root_folder_is_browsable_on_a_uns_only_browse_grant (26/27 pass).
- Dropping the realm qualification from IsSharedRootFolder reddens exactly
A_uns_area_named_like_the_anchor_gets_no_anchor_semantics. Its first draft
did NOT catch this — a raw-only grant is refused either way; the
discriminating grant had to be an unrelated UNS one, whose own transit marks
the zero-segment UNS scope the un-qualified mapping would land on.
- Disabling the BuildScope anchor branch reddens the new end-to-end fact
NodeManagerStage6EnforcementTests.The_shared_root_folder_is_browsable_on_a_narrow_grant_and_still_filters
(real booted server, real Browse dispatch: BadUserAccessDenied on the whole
call), which also pins that the reference filter still withholds the
non-granted sibling.
- Core PermissionTrieBrowseTransitTests gains 3 characterization facts pinning
the previously-dead realm-root branch (transit true for the granting realm's
root, false for the other realm's, false without the Browse bit). These were
green on arrival — the trie was always correct; nothing called it.
Tests: Core 351 -> 354 passed; OpcUaServer 482 -> 490 passed. Build clean.
C1 — a non-rebuild apply reporting failedNodes > 0 no longer advances _lastApplied.
Pre-delta-materialisation the full passes re-ensured every node on every apply, which
silently repaired any prior swallowed sink fault. The delta path removed that accidental
self-healing: a failed node sat inside _lastApplied, never appeared in a diff set again,
and EnsureVariable early-returns on the ones that landed — so it was lost until an
unrelated change forced a rebuild. The advance also moved to AFTER the materialise
passes, so a throwing pass leaves _lastApplied at the previous composition too. A
rebuild still advances even with failures (the ratchet is its resync path).
I2 — a UnsReferenceDelta whose identity is unchanged (same NodeId, EquipmentId and
BackingRawPath) is now applied in place via UpdateTagAttributes(Uns) instead of
remove+recreate, so the mirror's MonitoredItems survive an operator historizing or
reshaping the raw tag behind them. Remove+recreate stays for identity-changing deltas
(re-point, effective-name edit).
I3 — RemoveVariableNode severs the inverse half of every outgoing Organizes edge, the
variable-node counterpart of UnwireAlarmNotifiers. Rebuilds used to sweep these up;
surgical applies made rebuilds rare, so they accumulated on the raw node for the life of
the process.
I5 — added UNS reference variables are announced (their equipment folder is the parent,
already the Uns realm). Raw adds still are not; the gap comment now says so honestly
rather than calling it neutral and pre-existing.
I4 + M1 — corrected two comments that no longer described the code: the "re-point →
rebuild" claim in ApplyPureRemove, and the "N lock acquisitions" rationale for the delta
passes (Ensure* early-return on a dictionary probe before the lock).
Adversarial review of 9f68f272 (classifier: non-alarm raw-tag deltas became
surgical) found stale UNS inheritance after a surgical raw edit. Editing a raw
tag's IsHistorized / HistorianTagname / IsArray / ArrayLength left every
referencing UNS node STALE: none of those fields were on UnsReferenceVariable,
so no coincident UnsReferenceDelta fired; the applier updated the raw node in
place; and EnsureVariable early-returns on an existing node. Consequences:
HistoryRead through the UNS NodeId served a different series than through the
raw NodeId (breaking the documented dual-registration invariant), a
de-historized tag kept serving history via UNS, and a scalar->array flip left
the UNS mirror scalar AND writable (bypassing the array read-only write gate).
UnsReferenceVariable now carries Backing{IsHistorized,HistorianTagname,IsArray,
ArrayLength}, copied from the backing tag's TagConfigIntent at compose time, so
record equality makes the reference Changed in the SAME plan. Both deltas are
non-rebuild kinds, so the existing machinery repairs the mirror surgically:
remove-previous in Apply, recreate in MaterialiseUnsReferences. That pass now
reads the four values from the RECORD (the single truth the planner diffed)
instead of a rawByPath back-lookup, preserving historian resolution exactly
(blank override => BackingRawPath, which is the backing tag's NodeId).
The artifact-decode seam needs no change: DeploymentArtifact.BuildRawAndUnsSubtrees
drives AddressSpaceComposer.Compose verbatim, which is what guarantees byte-parity.
The classifier needs no change either (a UnsReferenceDelta never forces Rebuild);
its comment now records why.
Also from the same review: a three-place-contract comment on RawTagPlan's
hand-written Equals naming its two downstream consumers, plus classifier pins for
the .Any(!eligible) quantifier, an ArrayLength-only delta, and an
alarm-content-only delta.
Task 4 (9f68f272) taught AddressSpaceChangeClassifier that a non-alarm
RawTagDelta and any UnsReferenceDelta are surgical-eligible, so such plans
started classifying AttributeOnly/PureAdd instead of Rebuild. The applier's
surgical branch did not know about either delta set, so those deploys fell
through as SILENT NO-OPS (or, on a non-surgical sink, applied nothing at all
where a rebuild was the safe answer). This closes that gap:
- Raw-tag loop: an eligible ChangedRawTags delta is applied IN PLACE via
ISurgicalAddressSpaceSink.UpdateTagAttributes in the RAW realm, computing
writable (`Writable && !IsArray`) and the historian tagname (blank override
⇒ the RawPath) exactly as MaterialiseRawSubtree does. A delta whose ONLY
difference is ReferencingEquipmentPaths is node-inert for a value tag and
is SKIPPED entirely — that is the shape a single UnsTagReference add/drop
produces, and it used to rebuild the world.
- UNS-reference loop: a ChangedUnsReferenceVariables delta removes the
PREVIOUS node in place (terminal Bad, then RemoveVariableNode, Uns realm).
Remove+recreate rather than an in-place update because a re-point must move
the Organizes edge (the sink has no RemoveReference) and a display-name
edit changes the NodeId itself; the cost is that one node's monitored
items, versus every subscription server-wide today.
- The branch trigger now fires for both sets, so a non-surgical sink falls
back to a full rebuild instead of applying nothing.
Every new operation is inside the existing one-way rebuild ratchet: any false
or throw ⇒ SafeRebuild(). The eligibility filter is defense-in-depth — when
kind != Rebuild the classifier already guarantees every delta is eligible.
The recreate of a changed UNS reference is NOT done here. Until Task 6 the
publish actor still materialises the FULL composition after Apply returns, so
the existing MaterialiseUnsReferences pass recreates it and the system is
correct end to end after this commit; the remove-then-recreate ordering holds
because Apply returns before the materialise passes run. Task 6 narrows those
passes to the plan's delta and keeps the same ordering.
Tests: 7 new applier tests (in-place raw update incl. array/override parity,
reference-only skip, UNS-ref remove, both ratchet fallbacks, non-surgical-sink
rebuild). RecordingSink now captures the realm on surgical / remove / value-write
calls, so the existing UNS-realm assertions are explicit too.
Accumulated fast-follows from the Task 1-11 reviews. No behaviour change on the
value path.
- Strengthen OpcUaPublishActorBatchTests.Sink_throw_is_swallowed_and_logged. The
survival assertion alone did NOT prove the catch exists: Akka's default
supervision RESTARTS a throwing actor and the restart preserves the mailbox, so
the follow-up message landed either way and the test passed against a build with
no catch at all. It now asserts via EventFilter that the exception NEVER reaches
supervision (Expect(0) on the InvalidOperationException) and that the handler's
own Warning IS logged, keeping the survival assertion. Everything that must have
happened goes inside the Expect(0) action — it counts matches at the end of the
action, so an assertion left outside would race the actor and pass vacuously.
Verified falsifiable: deleting the catch turns the test red.
- MapKey(NodeId): the non-string identifier branch collapsed to a string.Empty key
silently. Such a key cannot match anything the manager stored, so the caller sees
an unexplained miss rather than an error. It now logs a Utils.LogWarning naming
the seam. Every current call site is provably string-only, so this should never
fire.
- The two WireAlarmNotifiers Utils.LogInfo sites interpolated the RealmKey struct,
rendering a raw struct dump. Interpolate .Id and .Realm as separate placeholders
so log-grep patterns stay consistent with the file's other sites.
- Stale comments: the _eventNotifierSources key is a RealmKey now, not a
namespace-qualified NodeId string; and three comments still named
DriverHostActor.ForwardToMux, which Task 8 replaced with ForwardBatchToMux.
SubscribeToEvents' sourceId is the manager HANDLE, not a NodeState — the same
object-typed trap as ContinuationPoint.NodeToBrowse, found the same way. The
`sourceId as NodeState` cast compiled, always yielded null, and silently
disabled the gate: an ungranted session could subscribe to an equipment's event
notifier and receive every alarm it raises, including the condition fields,
while every value on it was refused.
Now uses the SDK's own IsHandleInNamespace, which cannot be wrong about the type.
The new test passes a null monitored item deliberately: the gate must deny
without touching the item, which also makes the test a discriminator rather than
a restatement — against the broken cast the call falls through to the base
implementation, which does dereference it, so the test fails loudly.

On a BrowseNext the references list already carries the earlier pages, so the

Completes data-plane enforcement behind Security:Acl:Enabled. Read (every
attribute, not just Value), Browse, TranslateBrowsePath, CreateMonitoredItems,
SubscribeToEvents and SetMonitoringMode now consult scoped NodeAcl grants.
With the flag off nothing changes.
Four things went beyond the stage as written, each because leaving it out
would have made the feature look like it worked:
- Browse needed ancestor visibility. The trie inherits downward, and a client
reaches a deep node by browsing the nodes above it, so without this every
grant narrower than the cluster was authored, shipped and unreachable. It is
a separate non-inheriting marker, NOT a synthesized Browse grant on each
ancestor: the additive downward walk would carry such a grant from Plant onto
Plant/Siemens/dev9 and every other sibling subtree. Pinned by a test that
goes through the evaluator — probing the trie helper directly passes against
the broken design, because a sibling is absent from the trie either way.
- Revocation had to reach LIVE subscriptions. Every other operation re-asks per
request; a subscription is authorized once and then streams, and streaming is
how machine consumers actually read this server — so stopping only the
re-asking operations would have made revocation close to cosmetic.
IDataPlaneAuthoritySource gained a Changed event.
A denied item is queued BadUserAccessDenied and then DETACHED from its
MonitoredNode2 fan-out, not set MonitoringMode.Disabled. Disabling discards
the item's queued notifications, so the client is silenced without ever being
told why. The over-the-wire test caught this; the unit-level path reports the
item as stood down either way. Detaching is also reversible, so a restored
grant resumes the feed with no client action.
- The decision cache holds the grant WALK, not the decision. Grants and the
trie are fixed for a generation; a key's ExpiresUtc passes with the clock, so
caching the whole decision would let an expired key keep working until the
next deploy — the stage-5 open-session hole in a subtler form.
- TranslateBrowsePath is gated, without which browse filtering is decorative: a
client refused a browse asks TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds for the same path.
Found en route: UserAuthorizationState's staleness ceiling couples two clocks.
MembershipResolvedUtc is stamped from DataPlaneAuthorizer's TimeProvider while
IsStale is evaluated against TriePermissionEvaluator's; they are the same
instance in production and diverge the moment anything injects a test clock, at
which point the evaluator denies EVERYTHING with a verdict indistinguishable
from "no grant matched". Stage 5's claim that these predicates cannot fire was
accidentally true; they are now disabled explicitly.
Also fixed: ContinuationPoint.NodeToBrowse is the manager HANDLE, not a
NodeState. The declared type is object, so the wrong cast compiled cleanly and
silently yielded null — skipping the browse source gate entirely.
Falsified: disabling the transit marking reddens exactly the three tests that
assert transit works; implementing transit as an ancestor grant reddens the
sibling-leak test; skipping the fan-out detach reddens the revocation test.
Full solution suite green.
The stage 8 live gate has NOT run yet.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015p7wGqy3YpZNCpDzTpGMKo
`Security:Acl:Enabled` (default false) makes scoped `NodeAcl` grants decide
data-plane authorization at the three seams that have one, and gives HistoryRead
a check it never had. Read, Browse and Subscribe stay ungated — stage 6.
The ACL decision REPLACES the server-wide role check rather than chaining with
it. Chained, a grant would have to confer the role as well as pass the scope
check, and only Cluster-scoped grants confer a role — so every narrow grant
would have stayed inert and the flag would have looked inert too. The
load-bearing test is an ALLOW: a session carrying no roles at all writing
successfully on the strength of its grant. A deny-only test passes against a
build where the ACL is never consulted, because the role gate denies too.
Found en route: the principal never reached the session. The authenticator
passed it as OpcUaUserAuthResult.DisplayName, but RoleCarryingUserIdentity
derives DisplayName from the presented token — for a key-bearing client that is
the static username `apikey`, identical fleet-wide. So the trie's matching key
was dropped at the identity boundary, and the audit ClientUserId on a rejected
write recorded `apikey` for every consuming system. Principal and ApiKeyId are
now carried explicitly.
Beyond the stage as sketched:
- Revocation reaches an OPEN session. Every decision re-checks the
authenticating key against the current snapshot; without it a key revoked by a
deployment kept its authority until the client chose to reconnect, which for a
machine-to-machine consumer can be indefinitely.
- UserAuthorizationState is built per CALL, not per session. The per-session
shape exists so an LDAP session can re-resolve membership that changed out of
band; nothing can change out of band under API keys, so the generation stamp is
the whole invalidation signal and a per-call record picks it up for free.
IsStale/NeedsRefresh therefore cannot fire here and are documented as vestigial.
- The trie is built inside DataPlaneAuthorityState.Apply, under the same
generation as the snapshot, rather than by a second wiring at the publish
actor. An uninstalled trie denies everything — indistinguishable from working
enforcement. Deleting the install turns 13 of the 22 new tests red.
- The deploy log reports what the BUILD dropped instead of re-deriving it. The
old count agreed with the builder on one of its four drop reasons; a rule with
a blank ScopeId, a retired scope kind, or a path not starting at a realm
vanished with the log reading zero.
Both IApiKeyStore implementations widened to the full grant set. The narrowing
was redundant — ApiKeyInterimRoleMapper applies the same filter itself — and
became a trap once scope was enforced. Pinned by asserting the roles are
unchanged, with the two grants carrying different flags so it cannot pass by
accident.
Falsified by mutation: enforcement never engaging, the write seam ignoring the
ACL, the realm dropped from the scope, the revocation check removed, and the
trie never installed each turn the intended tests red and no others.
Full solution suite green.

A driver-only node has had no ConfigDb since per-cluster mesh Phase 4, so it
registered NullOpcUaUserAuthenticator and denied every UserName token. Its keys
now ride the deployment artifact instead.
- ConfigComposer snapshots ApiKeys alongside the NodeAcls it already carried.
Only the peppered HMAC ships, never a secret, and the pepper is node config
that is deliberately not in the artifact.
- DeploymentArtifact.ParseDataPlaneAuthority decodes both node-side. Grants are
scoped to the node's own cluster; keys are not, because ApiKey carries no
ClusterId — a key is a fleet-wide credential and the ACL rows are what bind it.
- OpcUaPublishActor installs them on DataPlaneAuthorityState on every apply,
BEFORE its plan.IsEmpty early-return: an artifact that only revokes a key
produces an empty address-space plan, so feeding after that return would leave
the revoked key working until an unrelated structural change redeployed.
- ArtifactApiKeyStore serves them to session activation; a node with a ConfigDb
keeps ConfigDbApiKeyStore, whose per-request read is what makes revocation
immediate there.
- OtOpcUaNodeManager gains DataPlaneAuthority — the cluster identity blocker #4
named. NodeScope.ClusterId is required and the evaluator fails closed on a
mismatch, so until now no scope it built could have evaluated. Nothing reads it
until stages 5/6.
The generation is a node-local COUNTER driven by the RevisionHash, not derived
from its bits. PermissionTrieCache treats the highest GenerationId as current, so
a generation taken from hash bytes would install a lower number about half the
time and the cache would go on serving the previous deployment's ACLs, silently.
Sessions are not stamped with it yet — that belongs with the first seam that
reads a UserAuthorizationState, in stage 5, rather than being built now and
consulted by nothing.
Live-gated on docker-dev against site-a-1 (driver-only, no ConfigDb): key
authenticates, wrong secret denied, both halves of the revocation asymmetry
observed, and a SITE-A grant confirmed not to reach site-b-1. Key minted with an
independent Python HMAC so the verifier was checked against something other than
itself. Rig left clean.

Pulled forward from stage 7 because without it the feature is unusable and
un-live-gateable: there was no way to create a key short of hand-inserting a row
and computing an HMAC by hand.
The minting logic is an IApiKeyAdminService in Core.Authorization, NOT logic in
the Razor page — this repo has no bUnit, so anything only a page can reach is
untestable, and minting credentials is not where that belongs. The page is a thin
shell over it.
Moved to Core.Authorization so both ends can reach them: ApiKeyOptions (was in
Host) and OpcUaPrincipals (was in OpcUaServer.Security). The OPC UA server
resolves principals; the AdminUI must refuse to mint a key claiming a reserved
one. OpcUaServer already gained a Core reference in stage 1b, so no new edge —
AdminUI gains one.
ApiKeyOptions is now bound UNCONDITIONALLY rather than in the driver branch: a
driver node needs the pepper to VERIFY keys and an admin node needs it to MINT
them, and getting that wrong on either side is a silent authentication failure
rather than a startup error.
Validation rules, all covered: the reserved 'anonymous' principal is refused
case-insensitively (so "ANONYMOUS" cannot slip past into a distinct principal
that the evaluator would then match case-INsensitively against anonymous's
grants); blank name/principal; a principal longer than the column, rejected
rather than truncated, because silent truncation yields a key that authenticates
and is granted nothing with no visible cause; a past expiry. Generation runs
BEFORE the DbContext is opened so an unconfigured pepper surfaces as a clear
error instead of a stored row whose hash nothing can verify.
The page shows the plaintext ONCE and says so; it is held in component state and
written nowhere else, because the server keeps only a hash. Revocation is flagged
in the UI as taking effect only after the next deployment — driver-only nodes
have no ConfigDb, so keys ride the artifact.
FleetAdmin-only (Administrator), not ConfigEditor: this mints credentials.
Core.Tests 68 green.

Anonymous sessions used to short-circuit in HandleImpersonation — "let the SDK's
default validation stand" — so they always connected and always carried no roles.
Now admission and authority are separated:
admission -> OpcUa:AllowAnonymous, the HOST's decision (it owns token policies)
authority -> the authenticator, resolving the reserved principal "anonymous"
through the SAME grant path a key's principal goes through
So anonymous can be granted WRITE, not merely tolerated as read-only, and it
arrives at the downstream gates as the same RoleCarryingUserIdentity a key
produces — which is the real payoff: no gate carries an anonymous-shaped branch,
so there is no bypass path to get wrong.
AllowAnonymous defaults to TRUE on purpose. Defaulting it false would silently
deny every client without a key the moment this deploys, including ScadaBridge's
Data Connection Layer in another repo. Making keys mandatory is a rollout
decision, not an upgrade side effect. When false, the Anonymous token policy is
withheld so a client is refused at DISCOVERY rather than only at activation, and
activation is rejected independently in case a client attempts a token type the
endpoint never advertised.
Two fail-closed choices, both falsified:
- A failure to read anonymous's grants DENIES rather than admitting with no
roles. Admitting is the pre-#520 behaviour, and defaulting to it exactly when
the server cannot determine what anonymous may do stops being harmless once
reads are gated. Making it admit reds Anonymous_denies_when_grants_cannot_be_read.
- A key may not authenticate as the reserved "anonymous" principal, or a
credentialled client silently inherits whatever anonymous was granted.
AuthenticateAnonymousAsync is a DEFAULT interface implementation returning
admit-with-no-roles, i.e. exactly the pre-#520 behaviour, so
NullOpcUaUserAuthenticator and every test double keep working rather than being
forced to reimplement it — important because driver-only nodes run the Null one
and would otherwise black out. Note a default interface method is only reachable
through the interface-typed reference, which is how OpcUaApplicationHost holds it.
An existing test asserted the old fall-through and correctly went red; it is
rewritten to pin the new contract rather than deleted, with the reason recorded.
OpcUaServer 366, Host 42 green.

Stage 2b. LdapOpcUaUserAuthenticator was left registered nowhere by stage 2a;
this removes it, its three test files, and the config surface that existed only
to serve it.
Deleted: LdapOpcUaUserAuthenticator, LdapOpcUaUserAuthenticatorTests,
LdapAuthResilienceTests, LdapGlauthOutageLiveTests (19 tests).
Also removed four Security:Ldap keys — AuthTimeoutMs,
MaxConcurrentAuthentications, OutageFailureThreshold, OutageCooldownSeconds —
plus their validator rules and binding/validator test coverage. Verified first
that the ONLY consumers were the deleted class and the validator rules asserting
them; none appear in any checked-in appsettings. Leaving them would have created
exactly the dead-config surface #521/#524/#525 were filed to clear up.
Worth stating why that resilience machinery does not need relocating rather than
just deleting. It existed because the OPC UA SDK raises impersonation
SYNCHRONOUSLY under a SessionManager-wide event lock, so a hung LDAP bind there
serialized every session activation server-wide — Anonymous and X509 included.
Key verification is one indexed lookup plus one HMAC with no network I/O, so the
hazard the wall-clock bound, concurrency cap and outage circuit guarded against
no longer exists on that path. LDAP now runs only on AdminUI login, an ordinary
async request path where a slow directory affects the one request making it.
ConnectionTimeoutMs is RETAINED: it is projected into the shared library and is
not authenticator-specific.
Docs corrected rather than left to rot:
- CLAUDE.md's "LDAP Authentication" section described the deleted file as the
data-plane authenticator. Rewritten, including a warning not to "restore" it on
seeing the LDAP wiring that AdminUI legitimately still needs.
- infra/README §5b (the GLAuth outage live gate) marked RETIRED with the reason,
rather than silently dropped — the harness GLAuth is still used by
OTOPCUA_HARNESS_USE_LDAP=1 and is unaffected.
- docs/security.md's five-key resilience table cut to the one surviving key, and
a new API-key identity section added.
Historical archreview/ records are left as-is; they are dated accounts.
Host.IntegrationTests 211 tests (was 230, i.e. exactly the 19 removed) with the
same 3 pre-existing failures verified against clean master. Host 37, Security 89.
