The /admin/secrets link was already in the side rail, but ungated — every
authenticated user saw it, and a Designer/Operator clicking it was bounced by
the page's own [Authorize(Policy = SecretsAuthorization.ManagePolicy)]. Hide
the advertised dead end.
Gated on that same policy constant rather than Roles="Administrator". The two
are equivalent today (the RCL's AdminRole is "Administrator", read off the same
ClaimTypes.Role claim FleetAdmin uses), so this is not about reach — it is that
the rail cannot drift if the RCL ever changes its policy.
Live-gated on docker-dev, both directions, because the positive half alone
proves nothing here: the link rendered for an admin BEFORE this change too, so
"admin still sees it" is satisfied equally by a working gate and by an inert
one. Negative control — gate swapped to Roles="NoSuchRoleFalsifyProbe", rebuilt,
item went to 0 while /role-grants and /apikeys stayed at 1 (the item is hidden,
not the rail broken). Restored build hashed to the same image ID as the
pre-falsification one, proving the restore was byte-exact. This also rules out
AuthorizeView being inert inside ThemeShell's <Nav> slot under this host's
static router, which would have silently hidden the link from everyone.
SecretsNavLinkTests covers it in the AdminUI's actual idiom — source scan +
metadata cross-check, NOT bUnit (the bunit PackageVersion pin has zero
PackageReferences repo-wide). The load-bearing assertion is index ordering
(AuthorizeView open < NavRailItem < close): a scan that merely finds both tags
in the file passes when they are not nested, which is the ungated state.
Scope: Secrets only. /role-grants and /apikeys are FleetAdmin (Administrator-
only) too and stay visible to everyone, so the rail is now inconsistent —
deliberate, as hiding those is a UX call for the whole rail rather than
something to smuggle into this change. Noted in the markup.
Family-wide task from the scadaproj index session (ScadaBridge ee193cd2,
ignitionoee 3627bb8, HistorianGateway 58b6418, mxgw 87d575d).
The page ran members, the driver-instances heading, and every cluster group
together inside one panel; driver name and id slammed inline; one long driver
exception blew the table out sideways (Controls scrolled out of reach); and the
inline #546 expander row dumped a full-width panel into the table.
- One panel per cluster group, node chips in the panel head.
- Driver id renders on its own muted mono line under the name.
- Last error abbreviated to 60 chars (DisplayText.Abbreviate — #504 rule),
full text on the tooltip and in the Controls dialog.
- DriverStatusPanel moved from an inline expander row to a modal (one at a
time); the dialog re-resolves its row from the current groups each render so
the 5 s rebuild can't strand it, and the Enabled-in-key recycle discipline
carries over unchanged. HostsPanelWiringTests re-pinned to the dialog markup.
Live-verified on docker-dev: separated cards, in-viewport table, dialog opens
with live breaker/status data and grouped Reconnect|Restart, closes cleanly.
Driver.Mqtt.Contracts-004/-005/-006/-007.
-004: retainSeed was the last behavioural key read leniently, so "retainSeed":"false"
— what a CSV import produces — silently became the default TRUE, the INVERSE of the
authored intent. Both mappers now read it through TryReadBoolStrict (the qos
absent/valid/present-but-invalid split) and DescribeRejection names it. The authoring
side needed no hand-mirrored rule: MqttTagConfigModel.Validate already consults this
same parse through TagConfigParseGate, so the save is blocked with the inspector's
wording — pinned by a new AdminUI parity theory pair.
-005: the seven [Range] attributes on MqttDriverOptions/MqttPlainOptions never ran —
the options are bound by JsonSerializer, and nothing in the four MQTT projects calls
Validator.TryValidateObject. Two of them CONTRADICTED the real authority (KeepAlive's
[Range(1,…)] forbade the zero Normalize admits as legal MQTT; MaxPayloadBytes' forbade
the non-positive value its own remarks document as falling back to 1 MiB), so wiring
them up would have broken deliberate behaviour. Deleted, with each property naming
where its bound actually lives. The one escape they papered over is closed: an
out-of-range defaultQos rode into the SUBSCRIBE verbatim, and MqttSubscriptionManager's
constructor now clamps it exactly as the AdminUI driver form already persists.
-006: the DateTime write arm cast a negative long to ulong, so 1969-12-31 published a
timestamp ~584 million years in the future; it is now refused as ValueNotRepresentable.
An Unspecified kind was handed to ToUniversalTime(), which reads it as LOCAL — the same
authored instant encoded differently on the two nodes of a redundant pair; it is now
read as UTC.
-007: Format/FormatState enforced only null/empty, and nothing at all on deviceId, so
the type was not round-trip-closed. They now apply the parser's IsValidSegment (plus
'/', which only the format side can see). MqttWriteEncoder's own guards stay — TryEncode
returns an error rather than throwing, and that contract does not change.
IWritable shipped behind write.enabled and docs/drivers/MTConnect.md told the operator to
set it, but MTConnectDriverForm — the only editor DriverFormMaps maps for this type, with
no raw-JSON escape hatch and no driver-instance API — exposed no write section, so the
documented enablement path was a hand edit of DriverInstance.DriverConfig in the config DB.
- Write-back section: switch + form text stating it is observation injection, that the
Agent's AllowPut is an independent second gate, and that it does not by itself make a
node writable over OPC UA (Tag.AccessLevel still composes CurrentWrite).
- Write added to the mirrored MTConnectConfigDto and to the form model, written in BOTH
states — an omitted block would leave a previously-authored true standing, so the switch
could never turn writing off again.
- The false 'MTConnect is read-only' header comment is gone; the doc names the new section.
No bUnit here, so the model/serialization seam is unit-tested both sides: the AdminUI test
pins the emitted bytes, and MTConnectFactoryTests parses that same document and asserts
MTConnectDriverOptions.Write.Enabled. Live page verification remains a rig step.
The two value-bearing fields were read asymmetrically and nothing said why.
whereValue went through ReadScalar (string/number/boolean — the design doc's own
wide-row example authors it as the number 7); keyValue went through the string-only
ReadString, so a numerically-authored key refused the tag outright. Nothing downstream
justified the split: both are BOUND as DbParameters and both are matched back as text —
SqlPollReader.IndexByKey stringifies the key cell precisely so an authored key can face
an INTEGER key column.
The refusal was also mis-explained. Inspect branched on ReadString(root, "keyValue") is
null, so a numerically-authored key drew "Sql KeyValue tag has no 'keyValue'" — telling
the operator the field is missing when it is right there in the blob, the #549 shape of
an authoring surface disagreeing with the runtime about WHY.
keyValue now uses ReadScalar; Inspect mirrors it with HasScalar and says what a usable
key is; SqlTagConfigModel loads it with the shared TagConfigJson.GetScalarText (which
also replaces SqlRowSelectorModel's private copy), so the editor is not left stricter
than the parser. An object/array/null key is still refused. docs/drivers/Sql.md updated.
RED first: 4 failing in Driver.Sql.Tests.
TagConfigJson.ClassifyEnumText classified via Enum.TryParse(text, ignoreCase: true),
which accepts a numeric STRING for any enum: "1" returns the member at that ordinal
and an out-of-range "99" parses just as happily. Every driver contract's strict enum
read inherits that, so a Sql tag authored "type":"99" was ACCEPTED, carried
(DriverDataType)99, and SqlPollReader.TryCoerce fell through its switch to the String
arm — a stringified cell published Good under a type nothing can map.
Refuse a digit- or sign-leading spelling before the parse (judged on the TRIMMED text,
because Enum.TryParse trims), and require Enum.IsDefined — which covers what the
leading-character check cannot, since TryParse also ORs a comma-separated list for a
non-[Flags] enum. Mirrors RawBrowseCommitMapper.ParseNativeType and
MTConnectTagDefinitionFactory.TryParseDataType, which already guard their own parses.
Three AdminUI restatements of the same rule now ask ClassifyEnumText instead of
Enum.TryParse (TagConfigJson.GetEnum, SqlTagConfigModel.ReadEnumStrict,
MqttTagConfigModel.DescribeInvalidEnum/GetEnumNullable) — leaving them would have opened
the #549 direction the moment the runtime tightened: a blob the modal accepts and the
driver skips.
RED first: 10 failing in Core.Abstractions.Tests, 4 in Driver.Sql.Tests, and 10 of the
11 new fleet-wide parity cases (re-confirmed by reverting the Core fix).
RawBrowseCommitMapper.MapLeaf typed a browse-committed raw tag's OPC UA node
from the leaf's probe-inferred DriverDataType, but its BuildTagConfig MTConnect
branch emitted `new MTConnectTagConfigModel { FullName = address }` — and that
model's DataType defaults to String with ToJson() unconditionally writing
`dataType`. A non-blank authored type wins the driver's coercion precedence, so
the Agent-probe inference step was never consulted and every browsed SAMPLE
published text into a Double/Int64 node. Silent: the blob is perfectly valid, so
neither the authoring gate nor the deploy gate had anything to say.
Same defect class as #536, which is why the AbCip / TwinCAT / FOCAS branches
forward the browsed native type via NativeType(addressFields, …). MapLeaf now
passes driverDataType into BuildTagConfig, whose MTConnect branch uses it as the
NativeType fallback — a stated native `dataType` address field still wins, so
the branch reads like its siblings; the difference is only that MTConnect's
fallback is the leaf's own inference rather than a fixed model default. Its
coercion type IS a DriverDataType, the very enum the leaf carries, so nothing is
re-derived. NativeType's numeric-string and unparseable-name guards are shared
via the extracted ParseNativeType, so an unusable name still keeps String.
Tests assert the PAIR (row OPC UA type and blob coercion type agree with the
inference) — the blob alone would pass against a mapper that stopped typing the
row — plus the parity control that a leaf inferred (or reported) as String still
commits `"dataType":"String"`, so the forward cannot be implemented as a
deletion. Observed red first: expected "Float64" but was "String".
FromTagConfig and FromSparkplugTagConfig each carried a framing pre-check
(`tagConfig[0] != '{'`) evaluated on the UNTRIMMED string, so a TagConfig blob
with leading whitespace was refused by MQTT alone and the tag read
BadNodeIdUnknown forever — while the other six structural-parse drivers
(Modbus, S7, AbCip, AbLegacy, TwinCAT, FOCAS) hand the identical blob to
JsonDocument.Parse, which skips leading whitespace per the JSON spec.
The clause is dropped (the blank guard stays). JsonDocument.Parse plus the
root-ValueKind check now decide framing, exactly as for the six siblings: an
array/number/string root fails ValueKind, non-JSON is a JsonException. The gate
was a validator, not a discriminator — no caller (MqttSubscriptionManager,
SparkplugIngestor, MqttTagConfigModel, Inspect) used the first byte to pick a
format — so verdicts are identical for every input except whitespace-padded
JSON objects, which now get their content's verdict.
Inspect needs no logic change (it has trimmed since #556 and hands the RAW
reference to the mappers), but its comments claimed the padded-blob refusal was
production-reachable; rewritten. That shape was also MQTT's only vehicle for the
catch-all backstop, which is now unreachable-today like FOCAS's — so its test is
replaced by the same count-relation pin, and the backstop code stays as
defence-in-depth.
Tests: both mappers pinned by padded-vs-unpadded DEFINITION equality (a record,
so field-wise), padded non-object/malformed negative controls, an Inspect
verdict+inspection parity theory over the accepted AND rejected corpus with an
anti-vacuity control, and a padded MQTT corpus entry in the AdminUI
authoring/runtime parity suite.
`OpcUaClientTagDefinitionFactory.TryReadNodeId` still honours a legacy PascalCase
`NodeId` when the v3 camelCase `nodeId` is wholly absent, but
`OpcUaClientTagConfigModel` read only `nodeId` — so a legacy blob was SERVED by
the driver yet opened with an empty reference field and could not be saved
untouched. Authoring stricter than the reader, which #554 names as never
legitimate: the editor was blocking config the runtime honours.
Fixed with the #550 pattern (read both spellings, normalise on save), NOT by
retiring the spelling from the reader — that would break every legacy blob the
driver currently serves at the next deploy, a data-plane regression traded for
an editor asymmetry.
The precedence is PRESENCE-shadows, not first-non-blank. The reader's
`TryGetProperty("nodeId", out n) || TryGetProperty("NodeId", out n)`
short-circuits on the mere PRESENCE of the camelCase key and then checks
string-and-non-blank ONCE, so a blank / non-string / JSON-null `nodeId` beside a
valid legacy `NodeId` is a REJECTED blob, not a fallback. Copying MTConnect's
`FirstNonBlank` walk here would have made authoring WEAKER than the reader —
the same defect in mirror image.
- `NodeIdKeys` drives both halves, so the read and the drop cannot drift.
- `ToJson` writes `nodeId` and drops `NodeId`; the TagModal history-merge keys
(`isHistorized` / `historianTagname`) are disjoint and untouched.
- `Validate`'s required-reference fast path is now precedence-aware by
construction, so it agrees with the #554 parse consult across the whole
rejection surface.
- The `TagConfigNonEnumParityTests` exemption for OpcUaClient is REMOVED — its
anti-vacuity guard `Every_deliberately_stricter_entry_is_still_exactly_that`
went red on the fix, which is this change's falsification control. The legacy
shapes moved into the corpus, where both fleet theories now cover them.
Tests: a nine-row precedence theory driving the authoring verdict against the
READER's verdict per shape, on the original blob AND on the `ToJson()` output;
no-retype (legacy loads showing its reference, saves canonical, same node id
before and after); no-drift (output never carries `NodeId`). Each half was
reverted in isolation to confirm it reddens tests of its own: read-only-revert
=> 6 red incl. the fleet parity theory; drop-only-revert => 4 red.
Suites: AdminUI.Tests 1459/1459, ControlPlane.Tests 261/261,
Driver.OpcUaClient.Tests 143/143, Driver.OpcUaClient.Browser.Tests 10/10.
Two guards enumerated the same RawBrowseCommitMapper.BuildTagConfig seam against
two hand-authored lists, which can only drift. The older one's list was also
misnamed: DriverDispatchMapParityTests.NonBrowsableDriverTypes really meant
"types that produce the generic key" — AbLegacy is genuinely non-browsable yet
correctly absent from it, because it has a typed branch.
Retire the older fact. RawBrowseCommitMapperParityTests.GenericKeyExemptions is
now the single hand-authored list for this seam: named for what it holds, one
written reason per entry, and checked against a DI-derived browsable set rather
than a second list. The one assertion the retired fact made that nothing here
covered — set EQUALITY, i.e. an exemption must still DESCRIBE the mapper — moves
across as Every_generic_key_exemption_still_commits_to_the_generic_key. Without
it, a driver that gained a typed branch would keep a silently inert exemption.
Item 2: OpcUaClientDriverBrowser and GalaxyDriverBrowser returned string
literals ("OpcUaClient", "GalaxyMxGateway") where Sql/Mqtt use DriverTypeNames.
The values matched, and nothing guarded that. Repoint both at the constants —
DriverTypeNames.Galaxy carries the identical value — and add
Every_registered_browser_is_keyed_by_a_declared_driver_type_name over the same
AddAdminUI() read-back. Compared ORDINALLY: BrowserSessionService indexes on the
exact persisted string, and case-only drift (TwinCat/TwinCAT) is what
DriverTypeNames exists to end. Browser projects are out of reach of
DriverTypeNamesGuardTests, which pins the driver FACTORIES' names.
Falsified, four ways, each red naming the offender and green on revert:
- #555 re-run: disabling the Sql branch reddens the two enumeration facts
("...no dedicated BuildTagConfig branch...: Sql"), the same catch the
retired fact made.
- giving Modbus a typed branch reddens ONLY the new stale-exemption fact,
proving it is not redundant with the four that were already there.
- SqlDriverBrowser.DriverType => "SQL" and Galaxy => "GalaxyMXGateway" each
redden the new browser-key guard by name — case-only typos, which an
OrdinalIgnoreCase compare would have waved through.
#549/#551 made every typed editor judge its driver's enum KEYS against the runtime's
own reader and stopped there. Every other reason a reader refuses a tag met no gate
until deploy, or until the driver silently skipped the tag: an absent Modbus `region`,
an `"address":"notanumber"`, an S7 `stringLength` of 300, a TwinCAT `dataType:
"Structure"` (a VALID enum name the reader refuses), a Sql blob the parser cannot
recognise as Sql at all, an MQTT `"qos":null`.
Rather than hand-mirroring N more rules into N models — the drift #551 closed on the
deploy side — each `<Driver>TagConfigModel.Validate()` now asks its driver's own parse
whether it would read the AS-LOADED blob, via the new `TagConfigParseGate`. One
authority for the verdict AND the wording.
Two cautions are load-bearing and are pinned by tests:
- The gate is the PARSE VERDICT, never "the inspector said something". FOCAS, MQTT and
Calculation inspectors emit advisories for blobs their reader ACCEPTS, so a
non-empty-inspection gate would make the modal stricter than the runtime and leave
rows nobody can save (#520/#535). Inspect is consulted only to word a refusal that
already happened.
- It judges the blob the model was LOADED FROM, not the typed fields — the lenient load
("address":"notanumber" ⇒ 0) is what hides the defect. Same capture-the-source shape
as S7's `_dataTypeMissingInSource`.
Deliberately-stricter editor rules were surveyed and KEPT, not aligned: AbLegacy's
arrayLength > 256 (reader clamps, but the un-clamped value still sets ArrayDimensions),
FOCAS's unparseable address (#540), MQTT wildcard topics + Sparkplug segment chars, and
Calculation's trigger/50 ms floors. They are now recorded fleet-wide in a table the
tests assert is still accurate.
Behaviour change: Modbus `{}` is now refused. Modbus was the one mapped editor with no
required field, and `{}` is exactly what the modal persists for a config nobody touched
— the driver skips it and it reads BadNodeIdUnknown forever with the deploy green. Its
pinned test asserted the old, weaker behaviour and is rewritten with the rationale.
Falsification: neutering only the Modbus consult turns 14 tests red, all Modbus-scoped;
every #549 enum test stays green.
RawBrowseCommitMapper.BuildTagConfig's unknown-driver fallback claimed to be
guarded by RawBrowseCommitMapperParityTests, which did not exist anywhere under
tests/. The claim it made — "every BROWSABLE driver is handled above" — is the
exact claim that stopped being true when SqlDriverBrowser registered (deferment.md
G-6), so the comment was asserting the invariant instead of pinning it.
The guard now exists and enumerates DriverTypeNames.All:
- Browsability's bespoke arm is DERIVED from production, not hand-listed: the test
runs AddAdminUI() and reads back every registered IDriverBrowser's DriverType —
the same set BrowserSessionService.CanBrowse indexes. A driver that gains or
loses a bespoke browser moves the guard with it.
- The universal arm (DiscoveryDriverBrowser -> ITagDiscovery) is NOT derivable from
the AdminUI assembly: it references driver Contracts/Browser projects, never the
runtime drivers, and IDriverFactory is composed in the Host. Covered instead by
requiring every declared driver type to be typed or explicitly exempted with a
reason (Modbus, Calculation), with a third fact mechanically refuting any
exemption the derived arm contradicts — the Sql failure mode.
Falsified three ways, each red naming the offender: disabling the Sql branch trips
the derived-arm fact; disabling the MTConnect branch trips the enumeration fact
(the universal-arm half, which no bespoke registration would have caught); adding
Sql to the exemption list trips the contradiction fact.
Comment corrected to state what the test actually asserts, including the residual
trust the universal arm leaves.
`RawBrowseCommitMapper.BuildSqlTagConfig` emitted a WideRow blob carrying only
table + columnName. A wide-row tag must also say WHICH row it reads, so both
`SqlEquipmentTagParser` (the runtime authority) and `SqlTagConfigModel.Validate`
(the authoring gate) refused it — a browse-committed Sql tag was never readable,
first silently as BadNodeIdUnknown and, since #551 put the gate on the import,
loudly at commit.
`SqlBrowseSession` now states a fourth address field: the table's preferred
date/time-typed column, computed from the columns its attributes call ALREADY
read (no extra catalog round-trip). Candidacy is decided by
`ISqlDialect.MapColumnType` reporting `DriverDataType.DateTime` — never by column
name, which would order a wide-row read by a string column that merely looks like
a timestamp. Multiple candidates tie-break on FIRST IN CATALOG ORDER (every
dialect's column SQL orders by ordinal position), so the pick is stable across
calls and servers; it is a visible, editable default the typed editor round-trips.
No candidate (a table with no date/time column) is an operator-actionable refusal,
not an invented selector: the only remaining selector is a whereColumn/whereValue
pair whose value is data, not schema, so `DescribeUncommittableLeaf` refuses that
leaf by name, names the table, and points at the tag editor.
The session and the mapper now agree via `SqlBrowseAddressFields` constants rather
than two independently spelled string literals — a disagreement there is silent,
and is exactly the shape this defect had.
`RawTagConfigGateTests`' Sql leg flips from "records the gap" to "browse-commit
output passes the gate", with the no-candidate case pinned as its own test.
ModelBackedCsvDriverTagMap.ApplyTypedColumns round-tripped the row's free-form
TagConfigJson cell through a driver model's FromJson/ToJson to fold the typed
columns in. That load is deliberately lenient — it has to be, so a poisoned blob
can be opened and repaired — so a typo'd value under a key the model owns
("dataType":"Intt16") came back out as the model's DEFAULT, before the #551
import gate or any later gate could judge it. The row imported clean and the tag
the operator described was gone. Only keys the model did not own survived to be
judged, which is why RawTagConfigGateTests looked like it covered this.
MTConnect carried the same defect from the export end. It is the one driver whose
blob accepts several spellings per field, and the runtime PREFERS driverDataType
over the dataType key the MtDataType column writes. The export residual carried
that alias (the map owned only the canonical key), so a re-imported row let it
out-rank the very column the operator had just edited — accepted, then silently
ignored at the driver — while the exported cell printed the spelling the driver
was ignoring, or nothing at all.
The fix preserves evidence; it does not move the verdict:
- ApplyTypedColumns writes the base cell's own tokens back over the model's
serialisation for every key no non-blank typed column overrode. The model still
stamps defaults for keys the row declares nowhere, so fragment cells compose
exactly as before.
- CsvTypedColumn gains ReadKeys / OwnedJsonKeys: the full ordered set of spellings
the RUNTIME reads for that column, mirroring TryFromTagConfig's FirstNonBlank
pairs. A firing column clears the out-ranking aliases; the export residual drops
them; the export cell shows the EFFECTIVE value.
- The review grid's override provenance reads the whole owned set, so an
overridden driverDataType is announced as an overridden dataType would be.
Nothing here decides which values are legal. The verdict stays with
TagConfigValidator on the assembled blob and with IRawTreeService.ImportTagsAsync
behind it — the deliberate reason NOT to follow the issue's own "run the validator
over the pre-merge cell" direction, which would have imposed completeness on a
cell that is legitimately a fragment and false-rejected every typed-column row.
Semantics chosen for the override contradiction: a cell token that a non-blank
column overrides is ACCEPTED with the column winning, and reported by name in
TypedOverrodeFallback. Typed-column-wins is the map's documented contract, the
override is announced rather than silent, and erroring would remove the only way
to repair a poisoned tag through the CSV surface. Every token that reaches the
stored blob is judged; a token the operator overrode is discarded openly.
Falsification: neutering the restore loop + alias handling turns exactly 7 of the
15 new tests red, while RawTagConfigGateTests (#551), RawTagCsvRoundTripTests and
CsvColumnMapReflectionTests all stay green — layering, not replacement.
AdminUI 1248, MTConnect 534, Modbus 373, S7 285, TwinCAT 205 — all green.
Verified against the live mapper: every browsable driver's browse-committed
TagConfig passes the gate the commit now runs, EXCEPT Sql — its branch emits a
WideRow blob with no rowSelector, which SqlTagConfigModel and
SqlEquipmentTagParser both refuse. That tag was never readable; the gate only
moves the failure from the deploy gate to the commit. Reported for its own fix
rather than special-cased here.
Gitea #551.
1. CSV import ran no driver-typed config gate. Its typed columns were always
strictly parsed, but the free-form TagConfigJson column reached the database
unread, so a CSV could author a tag the driver rejects — one that deploys
green and reads BadNodeIdUnknown forever. RawTagCsvMapper.Parse now names the
offending row in the staged review grid, and RawTreeService enforces the same
gate on CreateTag/UpdateTag/ImportTags: a form cannot be the guarantee (the
API and any future caller reach none of them, and this repo has no bUnit).
A rejected import row is an ERROR — the batch inserts nothing and the row is
named — never a skip.
Note the brief's premise that manual entry rides ImportTagsAsync is wrong:
RawManualTagEntryModal commits row-by-row via CreateTagAsync, which is why
the gate had to land on all three write paths.
2/3. The seven pre-#549 Inspect methods ran a hand-list of DescribeInvalidEnum
checks, so every rejection cause not on the list was invisible. They are now
ACCEPT-GATE-FIRST (the MTConnect/Sql/OpcUaClient/Calculation shape): ask the
driver's own reader for the verdict, then explain the refusal, with a
catch-all so "the parse rejects but Inspect said nothing" is unreachable.
That closes S7's absent dataType, AbCip members[], Modbus stringByteOrder and
the type-dependent guards, plus causes the issue did not name (absent
region/address/tagPath/symbolPath/topic, TwinCAT Structure, MQTT's Sparkplug
tuple). FOCAS and MQTT keep advisories about ACCEPTED blobs, so they
diagnose rather than return empty.
Authoring half: ModbusTagConfigModel gains stringByteOrder;
AbCipTagConfigModel asks the new AbCipTagDefinitionFactory.DescribeInvalidMember;
S7TagConfigModel captures whether the SOURCE blob declared dataType and asks
S7TagDefinitionFactory.DataTypeKey/DeclaresDataType. One authority per rule.
4. Doc sweep: the six factory Inspect summaries, EquipmentTagConfigInspector's
class remarks and AdminOperationsActor's comment all claimed invalid enums are
"silently defaulted by the lenient runtime" — false since R2-11 Phase C made
the runtime reads strict. They describe rejections now.
MTConnectTagDefinitionFactory.TryFromTagConfig resolves the coercion type as
FirstNonBlank(blob.DriverDataType, blob.DataType) — driverDataType OUT-RANKS
dataType — while MTConnectTagConfigModel read and wrote dataType alone. That
broke in both directions at once:
* a blob carrying "driverDataType": "Strng" was accepted at authoring while
the runtime rejected the tag (the residual slice of #549), and
* a VALID driverDataType silently overrode whatever type the editor displayed
and saved, so the editor showed a lie and a save RETYPED the tag.
Both halves land together, mirroring the existing IdKeys pattern:
* FromJson reads DataTypeKeys = [driverDataType, dataType] in the runtime's
precedence, with the runtime's own per-key semantics — absent/JSON-null and
present-but-blank fall through, a non-string token stops the walk (the
runtime deserialise throws JsonException on it and rejects the whole tag),
and the raw TOKEN is captured so Validate() judges what the driver judges.
* ToJson drops every non-canonical DataTypeKeys entry and writes dataType as
the enum NAME, so the alias can never out-rank the key the editor writes on
the next load.
* Validate() now names the offending spelling rather than always saying
"dataType".
Doing only one half silently retypes existing tags on their next save; the
falsification runs recorded in the PR confirm each half-fix reddens a distinct
test.
MTConnectTagConfigModel read `dataType` with TagConfigJson.GetEnum, which falls
back to String on ANY unrecognised value. A misspelled name ("Strng") from a
hand-authored blob, a CSV import or the API was therefore accepted at authoring
and silently rewritten, while the driver's strict parse rejected it and the tag
died with BadNodeIdUnknown. Found by the G-7 parity tests' falsifiability
control, which had to use the digits-only shape to have a case that failed.
The rule is not restated in the AdminUI. MTConnectTagDefinitionFactory exposes
its parse as `IsAcceptedDataTypeName`, documented as the one authority the
driver, the deploy gate and the authoring model all consult; the model's
Validate() asks it about the raw value the blob carries. The old digits-only
message is NOT retained as a special case: the runtime draws no distinction
between a bare number and a typo — one predicate, one Inspect warning — so a
second message here would be a second statement of a rule this model does not
own. The raw value is captured as the JSON TOKEN, because the runtime
deserialises the key into a `string?` DTO field and an unquoted number throws
there too.
The survey found the same asymmetry at six more editors, contrary to the
assumption that those runtimes silently default: R2-11 Phase C moved every
driver's TagConfig enum read to TagConfigJson.TryReadEnumStrict, which REJECTS
the tag on a present-but-invalid string, while the editors kept loading them
with a silent fallback. Modbus (region/dataType/byteOrder), S7, AbCip, AbLegacy,
TwinCAT and FOCAS now check their enums in Validate() through the runtime's own
TagConfigJson.DescribeInvalidEnumText — added alongside a public
ClassifyEnumText that TryReadEnum now delegates to, so the JSON-token door and
the string door reach one implementation. Mqtt and Sql already carried
equivalent strict checks and are untouched.
Care taken NOT to become stricter than the runtime: a present-but-non-string
token stays accepted for those six (TryReadEnum calls it absent), as does an
absent key, each pinned by a test.
Also adds a direct ProjectReference to Core.Abstractions from the AdminUI — the
save gate now leans on a type it was consuming only transitively.
Adds the Sql / MTConnect / Calculation / OpcUaClient Contracts ProjectReferences to
ControlPlane and their entries to EquipmentTagConfigInspector, closing the G-7 asymmetry: the
deploy gate now checks every driver the AdminUI checks. Galaxy is the sole remaining unmapped
type and is so by design — its dotted tag_name.AttributeName reference has no typed shape, and
the AdminUI has no typed editor for it either, so the two gates agree.
Adding the ProjectReference is what makes EquipmentTagConfigInspectorCoverageTests demand a map
entry (its sweep scans the output directory, so an unreferenced Contracts assembly is invisible
to it). Falsified: deleting the Sql entry fails
Every_driver_shipping_an_Inspect_is_wired_into_the_dispatch_map with
["SqlTagDefinitionFactory"]; restored.
Tests: three cases per driver in EquipmentTagConfigInspectorTests (canonical valid config warns
nothing / present-but-invalid field draws a warning naming it / broken JSON warns without
throwing), plus a Calculation control pinning that the two shapes the runtime accepts and the
editor refuses draw nothing. OpcUaClient moved out of the unmapped-driver theory.
New TagConfigAuthoringDeployParityTests (in AdminUI.Tests, the only suite that sees both gates)
pins the direction that matters: a config the AdminUI model's own ToJson produces and Validate
accepts draws no deploy warning. Its falsifiability control — the same driver types warning
about a blob the editor refuses — caught a pre-existing, unrelated authoring-side gap:
MTConnectTagConfigModel reads dataType leniently, so a misspelled name loads as String and
saves clean while the strict runtime rejects it. Left alone (rewriting the editors is out of
scope); the control uses the digits-only shape both gates refuse, and the case is documented
inline.
Blazor does not serialize OnParametersSetAsync against its own outstanding
task, and the modal's `_open` bool cannot tell two opens apart. ResetAndResolveAsync
awaits LoadMergedProbeConfigAsync and ResolveGroupContextAsync and then wrote
_driverType/_mergedConfig/_effectiveDeviceId/_groupPrefix/_canBrowse/_disabledReason
with no staleness re-check, so a close-reopen onto another device let the first
open's late continuation install its device's browse context under the displayed
modal — "Connect & browse" would silently dial the wrong controller and the commit
would land under the wrong tag-group.
Ports the per-open `_openGeneration` counter proven in the two sibling modals
(RawManualTagEntryModal, RawTagModal, 2026-08-05) to every post-await write here:
after both awaits, in the catch's error banner, and in the finally. The finally is
the one departure from the sibling shape and it is load-bearing — this modal resolves
inside a try/finally, so a stale `return` still runs the tail and would drop the LIVE
open's spinner mid-resolve.
Pinned by four RawBrowseModalStaleOpenTests facts, each observed red before the guard
and each re-falsified afterwards by reverting only its own guard. The modal calls
StateHasChanged on the open path, which throws without a render handle, so the test
attaches an inert Renderer subclass (file-local BL0006 pragma); [Parameter]s are set
by reflection per the BL0005 convention.
AdminUI suite 1117/1117 green.
#542 filed FleetStatusBroadcaster as blind to site nodes since the Phase 6 per-cluster mesh
split: it derives "the fleet" from central's own Akka gossip ring, which after the split is
just central's own pair. Scoping the cross-mesh rewrite found the deeper truth — the whole
chain is dead end to end, so this deletes it rather than reviving it.
- Zero consumers. FleetStatusBroadcaster published FleetStatusChanged on the DPS
"fleet-status" topic; FleetStatusSignalRBridge forwarded it to FleetStatusHub
("/hubs/fleet-status"); nothing anywhere connected. The AdminUI bans self-connecting
HubConnections, no browser JS subscribes, and /fleet (Fleet.razor) reads
NodeDeploymentState from the ConfigDb plus IClusterRoleInfo on a 5 s poll instead.
- Its second input never existed. DriverHostStatusHeartbeat had no production sender —
only the broadcaster's own test told it — so CurrentRevision was always null and the
30 s staleness -> Degraded flip could never fire.
- Post-Phase-6 DPS is pair-local, so even the central-only view it did produce was an
accident of topology rather than a design.
The fleet visibility that actually works is unchanged and already cross-mesh-correct:
/fleet over NodeDeploymentState, and the four Phase 5 per-node telemetry dials.
Precedent for deleting inert machinery rather than activating it: #522 (driver stability
tiers), #507 (discovered-node injection), #525 (GetMemoryFootprint).
Deleted: FleetStatusBroadcaster (+ its nested DriverHostStatusHeartbeat), its admin
singleton registration and FleetStatusBroadcasterKey, FleetStatusSignalRBridge and its
key, FleetStatusHub and its route mapping, and the FleetStatusChanged / FleetNodeStatus /
FleetNodeHealth messages. Both Fleet/ directories survive — ControlPlane keeps
ClusterNodeAddressReconciler, Commons keeps GetDiagnostics. Docs swept where they claimed
a fleet-status channel exists (Telemetry.md's Phase 5 non-migrated channels,
Configuration.md, CLAUDE.md); completed-program plan docs under docs/plans and docs/v2 are
left as the historical record they are.
Build 0 errors, 868 warnings — byte-identical to master's rebuild baseline.

DriverStatusPanel was orphaned — zero references repo-wide — so the Restart and
Reconnect driver commands had NO reachable UI at all, despite working end to end
over the new gRPC mesh transport. Nothing failed to build, test or deploy while
that was true, which is why it went unnoticed.
The panel is now reachable per driver row on /hosts, behind a per-row "Controls"
expander that is collapsed by default: the table stays scannable, and only the
opened panels hold snapshot-store subscriptions. Expansion state is a HashSet
keyed by DriverInstanceId held on the page, so it survives the 5 s refresh that
replaces every row record. Both rows are @key'd by instance id so the panel —
which binds its DriverInstanceId once in OnInitializedAsync — can never be diffed
onto a different driver.
The panel's Enabled parameter is fed from real config rather than defaulted:
HostsDriverInstanceInfo/HostsDriverRow now carry DriverInstance.Enabled, which
LoadConfigAsync already had in hand. A snapshot with no matching configured
instance is treated as enabled — the row exists only because live health arrived,
so "Disabled — not deployed" would contradict the same row.
The expander is visible to every AuthenticatedRead viewer; the panel self-gates
only its Reconnect/Restart buttons on DriverOperator.
A source-scan pin (HostsPanelWiringTests) asserts /hosts still renders the panel
and still binds it to the row's own driver, cluster and enabled state — removing
the tag would silently restore the orphaned state.

MeshGrpcBoundaryTests replaces the MeshClusterClientBoundaryTests deleted in step 1. Three
self-seeded single-member clusters sharing the ActorSystem name, joined ONLY by gRPC, driving
the REAL CentralCommunicationActor -> MeshGrpcCommandDialer -> Kestrel h2c ->
MeshCommandAuthInterceptor -> NodeCommandGrpcService -> NodeCommunicationActor -> EventStream:
1. No_cross_mesh_Akka_association_forms_between_central_and_either_site — the program's own
point, kept as a test rather than a live-gate note: each cluster stays single-member and
none ever holds another's address as a member.
2. One_dispatch_through_central_reaches_a_node_in_every_cluster_mesh — the fan, with each
site holding its OWN per-cluster PSK, so a dial that selected the wrong cluster's key
would be refused at the far side.
3. Falsifiability_control_a_dial_carrying_the_wrong_cluster_key_delivers_nothing — without
it, (2) cannot distinguish "the gRPC boundary carried it" from "something else in the
process did". The same node then accepts the right key, so the silence is the auth gate
and not a dead endpoint.
All three run fully offline — no Docker fixture — and pass.
Comment sweep across every remaining clusterclient|receptionist hit in src/ and tests/:
the program label becomes "mesh gRPC command plane", and every comment that described the
deleted transport as live now describes what actually runs (Dps = pair-local default,
Grpc = cross-mesh). mesh_transport.proto's header/service comments are reworded; no message,
field or enum is touched — the contract is locked. MeshCommActorPathTests is reshaped rather
than retired: the two paths still exist and still matter, but what a mismatch costs is now a
misleading Unavailable from the gRPC ingress rather than a silently dropped receptionist send.
The only surviving mentions of the old names are the ones that must survive: the fail-closed
rules that name "ClusterClient" as a retired value refused at boot, their tests, and this
test class's own account of what it replaces.
Two review items from Task 1B.1, both diagnostic:
1. CentralCommandGrpcService's "actor not ready" Warning omitted the peer and
the correlation id while the decode-failure Warning six lines above carried
both. These are the only two ways an ack fails to reach the coordinator, and
an operator has to correlate either against the node's own log. Decoding has
already succeeded on this path, so the DECODED correlation id is free.
2. A fused driver,admin,cluster-MAIN node under Mode=Grpc owes BOTH validator
surfaces at once (driver keys AND ConfigServe:GrpcListenPort). The two blocks
are independent `if`s; chained as `else if` a fused central node would be
graded on one surface only and boot with nowhere for any ack to land. Pinned
from both sides plus the fully-configured pass.
A driver builds its RawPath -> definition table at init and tolerates a
per-tag miss: an unmappable TagConfig, an unparseable address, a
capability-matrix rejection. That tolerance is right -- one bad tag must not
take down the other few thousand. What was missing is any statement of the
fact afterwards. A skip is not an error and happens before any read, so the
driver stays Healthy, errors/5 min stays 0, Last error stays empty, and Last
read advances live off the tags that did map. On the wonder Makino in #540
that reading held while focas-z-34184 ignored 20 of its 22 tags.
New optional capability ISkippedTagReporter, backed by a shared
SkippedTagLedger so the reset/commit/cap rules are one implementation rather
than one per driver. The report -- authored count, exact skipped count, and a
capped sample of RawPath + reason -- rides DriverHealthChanged to a new Tags
column on /hosts, over the Phase 5 telemetry stream. No table: a driver-only
node has no ConfigDb to write to, the lesson from #521.
The issue named eight drivers. It is twelve -- every driver in
DriverTypeNames.All has an authored-tag skip path. Calculation (no scriptId),
MTConnect (no readable DataItem id), Galaxy (no attributeRef) and OpcUaClient
(no nodeId) were unlisted, and OpcUaClient's was the quietest of the twelve:
NamespaceMap drops such an entry with a bare `continue` and not even a log
line. SkippedTagReporterFleetTests pins the invariant reflectively over every
IDriver in src/Drivers/, so a thirteenth cannot re-introduce the silence.
Sql drops a tag at TWO points and its report is the union of both: a blob
that does not map, AND an identifier the 8.1 catalog gate rejects against the
live catalog. The second is what schema drift produces -- a renamed column, a
dropped view -- months after a deployment sealed green, and reporting only
the first would have that driver claim "0 skipped" while polling half its
tags, which is worse than reporting nothing because the column would then be
actively reassuring.
Deliberately additive to driver state, never a change of it. Latching
non-Healthy for a config problem would satisfy both halves of the #527
comms-loss conjunction -- 90 s without a successful read AND non-Healthy --
and a driver whose tags were ALL skipped has no successful reads by
construction, so it would reconnect-loop forever against a healthy device.
Three details that are load-bearing rather than incidental:
- The skip digest is part of the publish fingerprint. A skipped tag leaves
every other fingerprint component identical to a clean driver's, so without
it PublishHealthSnapshot's dedup swallows exactly the publish carrying the
signal -- the trap that already bit the rediscovery and host-status
channels. The digest covers the sample, not just the counts: a redeploy
that fixes one tag and breaks another leaves both counts unchanged.
- The count is exact; only the sample is capped, and the tooltip says so when
it is showing fewer than it counted. A truncated list that looked complete
would have an operator fix twenty tags and believe the job done.
- The ledger stages and commits, so an init that throws part-way leaves the
previous report standing. A partial snapshot would read as "we now skip
fewer tags", the opposite of the truth.
The proto field needs no companion presence flag, unlike host_statuses: a
singular message field carries real presence in proto3, and a has_ flag would
collide with protoc's generated HasSkippedTags.
Verified red-first three ways: dropping SkippedTagDigest from the fingerprint
fails the two dedup tests, removing the seam from one driver fails the fleet
guard, and dropping the catalog-gate leg fails the Sql union test. Full
solution builds with zero new warnings against 4e22f024.
Authoring FOCAS tags through /raw -> Browse device... produced tags the driver
could never read. Every committed tag read BadNodeIdUnknown forever, and the
failure was silent end to end: the AdminUI accepted it, the deploy gate sealed
green, and the driver reported Healthy with 0 errors while ignoring the tags.
Net effect: the whole fixed-tree surface could not be published through any v3
authoring path. Found cutting wonder-app-vd03 over to v3 against a real Makino
Pro 5 / Fanuc 30i, where 0 of 20 committed tags read while two hand-authored
MACRO: tags on the same device read Good.
A captured browse leaf's id IS its DriverAttributeInfo.FullName, and the fixed
tree emitted "{deviceHost}/{path}" there -- an internal cache key, not an
address. Both authoring paths wrote it verbatim into TagConfig.address, and
FocasAddress.TryParse accepts no such form, so the driver skipped the tags at
init.
Fixed at the emitter rather than by stripping the host at commit, which fixes
the browse-commit flow and the manual picker's tree-select together and leaves
one canonical address form:
- FocasAddress gains a fourth kind, FIXED:<path>, and moves to Contracts so the
AdminUI and ControlPlane can parse without referencing the runtime driver
(#526). A FIXED: read is served from the fixed-tree snapshot the poll loop
already maintains -- no area read, no connection. Writes refuse: nothing in
that tree is a writable location on the CNC.
- The address carries no device. A tag's device comes from its Device row, and
a second routing channel for one fact is what created this defect.
- An authored FIXED: tag arms the fixed-tree poll loop by itself. Enabled
defaults false and the browser force-enables it only for a browse, so the
operator would otherwise browse, commit, deploy, and land on a driver whose
loop never starts -- every tag Bad with a correct address.
- Fixed-tree values are now dated from the last answered poll and go
BadCommunicationError once it is stale (8 cadences, floored at 30s). The poll
loop swallows a failed tick by design, so a dead CNC would otherwise serve its
last snapshot as Good indefinitely -- harmless while nothing could bind to the
tree, not harmless now.
Guardrails, so this class cannot recur silently:
- FocasTagConfigModel.Validate() runs the real parser instead of a non-empty
check, and FocasTagDefinitionFactory.Inspect() warns at the deploy gate, which
covers CSV/API config that never touches the modal.
- The manual picker offered axis/spindle/program/status "parameter groups" --
none of which is a FOCAS addressing space -- and its own default value,
axis:5, was unusable. It now composes PMC / PARAM: / MACRO: through
FocasAddress, so what it emits is parseable by construction.
Tests assert addresses ROUND-TRIP through the parser rather than matching an
expected string: the previous FocasAddressBuilderTests pinned "axis:5" exactly,
which is how a green suite coexisted with a picker nobody could use. Verified
red-first against the old emitter. FOCAS 308, AdminUI 1095, ControlPlane 169,
Core 581 -- all pass, 0 warnings.
The remaining half of #540 -- a driver reporting Healthy/0 errors while
skipping tags at init -- is fleet-wide (eight drivers do this) and is filed
separately rather than patched per-driver.
