Layer 4 of the condition-Quality chain (#477 -> #478). #478 gave a scripted
condition the worst quality of its input tags, but only for inputs whose driver
PUBLISHES a Bad data change. A poll driver whose device goes unreachable
publishes nothing — it raises ConnectivityChanged(false) and goes silent — so
the engine held its last Good value, WorstInputStatus stayed Good, and worse,
AreInputsReady stayed true, so the predicate went on evaluating a stale value
after the source had died.
`DriverHostActor.FanCommsLossToDependencyMux` pushes a synthetic
BadNoCommunication with a null value into the dependency mux for every value ref
the disconnected driver owns.
The issue asked for a driver -> all-tag-refs map to be built for this. It
already exists: `_nodeIdByDriverRef`, keyed (DriverInstanceId, RawPath) and
rebuilt from the composition on every apply. Alarm-bearing tags live in the
separate `_alarmNodeIdByDriverRef` and are deliberately excluded — a native
condition is not a mux value and takes the Part 9 quality path instead.
Nothing is pushed on reconnect, deliberately: publishing Good would assert a
value quality this actor has not observed. Recovery rides the driver's own
republish, and the mechanism was verified rather than assumed — the
Connected -> Reconnecting edge calls DetachSubscription, which nulls the
subscription handle, so the reconnect's ResubscribeDesired builds a FRESH
subscription whose PollGroupEngine initial push runs with forceRaise: true.
Without that detach the poll engine would compare against its retained
LastValues, see an unchanged value, raise nothing, and strand these refs Bad
forever — the value-dedup trap that bit the v3 Batch 4 virtual-tag reassert.
Closes#478 Finding 3, which the above depends on. WorstInputStatus skipped
every input whose VALUE was null as "no data yet" — and Bad-with-no-value is
exactly the shape a comms-lost driver produces, so the skip was hiding the case
that matters most; without this half the fan-out above would be silently inert.
The upstream source now stamps a never-pushed path BadWaitingForInitialData —
the honest Part 4 code for that state — and the engine skips that specific code
rather than every null value.
Deleting the null-skip outright is the obvious fix and is wrong in the other
direction: it makes every not-yet-published input drag its condition Bad at
deploy, flooding the quality path with load-time annotations, which is what the
skip existed to prevent. Both mistakes are pinned by a test pair that goes red
under the opposite error, and both were falsified by reverting the production
code:
old null-skip restored -> A_pushed_Bad_carrying_no_value RED
null-skip deleted outright -> An_input_that_was_never_pushed RED
fan-out call removed -> the three DriverHostActor tests RED (1 of 7)
The never-pushed test was vacuous on first writing and is worth recording: the
quality bucket only emits on CHANGE, so the load-time evaluation is the one that
flashes Bad, and subscribing to OnEvent after LoadAsync made the assertion
unfalsifiable — it passed against the broken behaviour. It now subscribes first.
`FakeUpstream.ReadTag` returned 0x80340000 (BadNotConnected) for an unset path,
a different Bad code from production's placeholder. Harmless while any Bad
behaved alike; load-bearing now, so it is aligned and pinned by a reflection
guard asserting the engine's private constant agrees with what the production
source stamps.
Behaviour change to weigh, flagged in the issue and confirmed: virtual tags
computed from a comms-lost input now go Bad too. That follows from using the
shared mux and reads as correct, but it is broader than scripted alarms.

#519 — a driver's OPC UA status code now reaches a client with its sub-code intact.
DriverInstanceActor projected the driver's uint onto a 3-state Good/Uncertain/Bad enum
and OtOpcUaNodeManager re-expanded Bad to a bare 0x80000000, so BadNoCommunication,
BadTypeMismatch and BadNotSupported were indistinguishable on the wire and every
driver's status constants (incl. the 16 #497 had just corrected) were diagnostic in
logs only. Resolved by option (b): the raw uint rides AttributeValuePublished ->
AttributeValueUpdate -> IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink.WriteValue, OpcUaQuality is deleted, and
severity classification is a helper (OpcUaStatus.IsGood/IsUncertain/IsBad).
The surface was wider than the issue costed (41 files, not "the sink and 3
implementations"): OpcUaQuality had non-driver producers with no uint to carry.
Each got its natural code — BadInternalError for a failed virtual-tag script,
BadNoCommunication for driver comms loss — and ScriptedAlarmHostActor's pair of
mutually-inverse uint<->enum mappers is deleted, having round-tripped a code the
engine already held. AddressSpaceApplier's removal writes deliberately keep the
generic Bad: not losing a code the driver had is this issue; inventing one for the
deploy path is a separate call.
Behaviour change: WriteAlarmQuality fires its Part 9 event on a status-code change
rather than a severity-bucket change. While the annotation was 3-state those were the
same predicate; now a move between two Bad reasons changes what a subscriber reads.
New SDK-free named constants live on Commons.OpcUa.OpcUaStatus, and
StatusCodeParityTests is widened to cover them — that guard is reflection-driven, so
it can only see a named constant, never an inline literal.
#517 — the symptom is real but the issue named the wrong path and its fix was unsafe.
ShutdownAsync cannot race: DriverInstanceActor calls it from PostStop, after the
mailbox drains. (Core/Hosting/DriverHost, the one class with a concurrent GetHealth,
has no production call site.) InitializeAsync can: it runs on a fire-and-forget
Task.Run, and MTConnectDriver writes Healthy then starts loops that can throw into a
catch which disposes the client before writing Faulted.
Moving the write earlier, as suggested, inverts the terminal state — teardown drains
in-flight loops that write health as they unwind, so a late loop could leave Healthy at
rest with every connection closed. The fix is a bracket (conservative before, terminal
after), applied to MTConnect's init-failure path only; shutdown keeps its single
trailing write, and the rule plus the reachability table are documented on
IDriver.ShutdownAsync.
CalculationDriver.GetHealth returned a hard-coded Healthy that consulted nothing —
Healthy before initialize, after shutdown and after dispose. Now derived from _running.
Its test, named Health_is_always_Connected, asserted the defect and is replaced.
Every new guard was falsified by breaking the production code and watching it go red.
The two sub-code tests each assert two different Bad codes, since a single-code
assertion could pass against a hard-coded constant under the old projection.
Pre-existing failures, verified unchanged on a stashed tree and not chased: 4 in
Driver.AbLegacy.IntegrationTests (slc500/micrologix/plc5 fixtures not up) and 3 in
Host.IntegrationTests.

Wave B of Batch 4 — the runtime binding seam for the dual namespace.
Applier (both realms, explicit realm at every sink call site):
- MaterialiseRawSubtree: Raw containers as folders + Raw tags as variables
keyed by RawPath (native-alarm tag → single Part 9 condition at the RawPath),
all in AddressSpaceRealm.Raw; historian tagname = override else RawPath.
- MaterialiseUnsReferences: each UNS reference Variable under its equipment
folder (Uns realm) + an Organizes UNS->Raw edge; inherits writable/array/
historian tagname from the backing raw tag (both NodeIds -> one tagname).
- FeedHistorizedRefs / ProvisionHistorizedTags now source RAW tags (mux ref
stays single, keyed by RawPath); ApplyPureRemove tears down raw tags + UNS
refs in place (raw-container removal falls back to rebuild).
DriverHostActor (dual-NodeId, single-source fan-out):
- _nodeIdByDriverRef value gains a realm (NodeRealmRef); rebuilt from
RawTags UNION UnsReferenceVariables so one (DriverInstanceId, RawPath) fans
to the raw NodeId AND every referencing UNS NodeId with identical
value/quality/timestamp. Write inverse map keyed by the bare id; the
ns-qualified NodeId the write hook passes is normalised (BareNodeId) so a
write to either NodeId resolves the same driver ref (-> RawPath write).
- Native raw alarm condition routing is realm-tagged (Raw); AttributeValueUpdate
+ AlarmStateUpdate carry the realm through to the sink.
Retire EquipmentNodeIds -> V3NodeIds.Uns (applier/VirtualTagHostActor) and
RawPaths.Combine (DiscoveredNodeMapper, discovered nodes are Raw now).
DeploymentArtifact.ParseComposition emits the Raw + UNS subtrees byte-parity
with the composer (reconstruct entities -> AddressSpaceComposer.Compose).
Sink surface: removed the transitional `= AddressSpaceRealm.Uns` defaults from
IOpcUaAddressSpaceSink / ISurgicalAddressSpaceSink / SdkAddressSpaceSink /
DeferredAddressSpaceSink / NullOpcUaAddressSpaceSink — every call site is now
explicit (realm reordered before the trailing optionals on EnsureVariable +
MaterialiseAlarmCondition). Node-manager convenience methods keep their
defaults (they are not the interface impl; Sdk delegates explicitly).
Tests: rewrote DriverHostActorLiveValueTests (fan-out drift, 1:N) +
DriverHostActorWriteRoutingTests (dual-NodeId raw/uns write routing) to the v3
raw+uns model; new AddressSpaceApplierRawUnsTests; migrated the EquipmentTags
provisioning/feed tests to RawTags; swept EquipmentNodeIds test callers.

Fix TESTS only (production already green) so the four in-scope test projects
compile + pass under the v3 dark address space:
- Core.Abstractions.Tests: drop AllowedNamespaceKinds/NamespaceKindCompatibility
from DriverTypeMetadata; rewrite EquipmentTagRefResolver tests to the single-func
RawPath-lookup contract (no parseRef/transient cache).
- Core.Tests: rewrite EquipmentNodeWalkerTests to EquipmentNamespaceContent(Areas,
Lines,Equipment,VirtualTags?,ScriptedAlarms?) — folders + VirtualTags +
ScriptedAlarms only; raw-tag variables dark (skipped Batch-4 placeholder). Drop
retired Equipment.DriverInstanceId.
- Runtime.Tests: rewrite golden corpus + TagConfigCorpusParityTests to the v3
RawPath/RawTagEntry round-trip (byte + TagConfigIntent parity; EquipmentTags dark).
Salvage VirtualTag + ScriptedAlarm artifact parity to the new Compose signature.
Retire the equipment-tag-materialization parity files (Array/Historize/Alias) and
the equipment-device-binding DeviceHost parity to documented skipped placeholders.
Skip 34 dark equipment-tag routing/value/alarm/write/discovery actor tests with a
shared DarkAddressSpaceReasons constant. Re-key cluster-scoped tests to v3 UNS
line->area attribution.
- ControlPlane.Tests: ConfigComposer round-trips re-keyed to RawFolder/Device (no
Namespaces); tag-config gate resolves driver via Device; deploy-gate collision test
re-keyed to UnsEffectiveNameCollision; drop retired BadCrossClusterNamespaceBinding
case.
