Coordinator rulings and Important findings from review r0:
1. FC23 is opt-in (new UseFC23ForMultiRegisterWrites, default false); a config
without it - including the persisted "disableFC23": false every form-saved
config carries - keeps the FC16 wire. DisableFC23 stays the hard kill-switch.
2. An explicit maxReadGap 0 means coalescing off again (its pre-lane meaning);
the gap-8 default applies only to an absent key.
3. Coils/DiscreteInputs tags persisted with a register dataType (the old
editor saved Int16) are coerced to Bool, never refused, with no deploy
warning (a warning can be promoted to a blocking error). The editor loads
them as Bool. Register region + Bool is still refused.
4. One comms-fault slot for reads and writes: a good read clears a write's
transport fault and vice versa.
Minors: Dispose writes its own Unknown health (m1); persisted region/address
are authoritative over addressString so a Family change cannot remap a live
tag (m2); a malformed-but-delivered reply no longer fails the unit fast (m3);
a fresh socket published after a concurrent dispose is torn down (m4); the
editor resets address text per tag (m5); master merged (m6); the FC23 latch
log says re-init restores it (m7). Back-compat tests use the old persisted
JSON shapes and fail without the fixes.

U1: a tag's addressString (Modicon / mnemonic / DL205 V-memory / MELSEC
D-X-Y grammar) now resolves through ModbusAddressParser with the DRIVER's
Family and MelsecSubFamily at every initialize and is authoritative; the
family-unaware gates (deploy Inspect, AdminUI parse consult) accept what
some family resolves. The tag editor gets an address-text field that
resolves with the owning driver's family and persists both the string and
the resolved region/offset/type fields; a hand edit drops the string.
DisableFC23 now gates FC23: by default a 2..121-register holding write is
one FC23 write + read-back (a unit answering exception 01, or failing FC23 at
the transport, moves to FC16 for the rest of the generation); RTU framing
deframes the FC23 reply. Live-checked: the pymodbus fixture implements FC23.
Also: the AdminUI driver form serialises ModbusDriverOptions (TimeSpan
strings), which the factory DTO never read - every timing field on the form
was dead. The DTO now accepts both shapes (*Ms keys win).

U2: MaxReadGap defaults to 8 and 0 now means adjacent-only rather than
off; a new DisableReadCoalescing switch (factory DTO + AdminUI form) turns it
off entirely. The planner also merges Coils/DiscreteInputs (FC01/FC02, gap in
bits), String scalars and BitInRegister tags - sixteen bit tags on one status
word are one FC03 instead of sixteen. Auto-prohibition and its re-probe /
bisection use the region's own function code (a coil range was re-probed
with FC04).

P6: Coils/DiscreteInputs carry only Bool and register regions never Bool;
the factory (and so the deploy-gate Inspect and the AdminUI parse consult)
refuses a mismatch, and an absent dataType defaults per region (Bool for a
bit region). A HoldingRegisters+Bool tag used to throw out of the coalescing
planner and stall every tag of the subscription; the planner also skips any
incompatible pair defensively. The tag editor keeps the type compatible when
the region changes; the CLI refuses the pair up front. The array-write parity
test records the Coils divergence from DriverArrayWriteSupport (owned outside
this lane) as follow-up F1.

P8: on the native transport the bounded-parallel read window is also the cap
on services per Multiple Service Packet (the device's shared scheduler packs
whatever is queued, within the connection's request/reply byte budget), so the
default 8 cost a 1000-tag controller ~125 round trips per poll instead of ~10.
The effective window (AbCipDriver.ReadWindow) is now max(64, option) when the
native tag factory serves reads; libplctag and injected factories keep the
option exactly. Option doc + AdminUI help text updated (Razor: Wave 4 live
check).
P7 addendum: a work item now takes its window slot only after its runtime
exists. A cold create queues on its device's single-flight connect gate, and
holding a slot there let one dead device's backoff-expiry attempt occupy the
whole window for a full Timeout, stalling every other device's reads.

FocasDataType.String was authorable on any address, but no area read returns text: PMC
fell through to a byte read, PARAM to Int32, MACRO to a double, and the String node
received a boxed number at Good.
One rule, FocasTagDefinitionFactory.DescribeDataTypeMismatch, now backs every path:
- FromTagConfig rejects the pair, so the driver skips + reports it (BadNodeIdUnknown,
never a Good number) and Inspect names the reason at deploy;
- FocasTagConfigModel.Validate refuses it on the typed fields;
- the AdminUI editor only offers String where it is readable and shows the rule's text
inline (kept visible for a loaded blob that already carries it);
- the CLI read/subscribe/probe/write commands refuse it at the boundary.
String stays valid on FIXED: paths (Identity/Program name/mode text) and is ignored on
ALARM: tags; an unparseable address keeps its own diagnosis.
Razor change (FocasTagConfigEditor.razor) needs the Wave 4 live check.

- Writes: a second write to a tag already inside the driver waits in the
queue behind it (_tagsInFlight) while other tags still run under the
cap of 4; queued writes are stamped and failed BadTimeout at dequeue
once older than the 8 s host Ask budget (Props queuedWriteBudget)
instead of being written late.
- Initialise attempts are bounded pessimistically (initializeTimeout,
default 30 s = 2x Tier C) on top of the invoker's token-only timeout:
an overrun is logged as abandoned, reported InitializeFailed so the
retry loop continues, and its late result is dropped by generation.
Generations come from a process-wide Interlocked counter so a prior
incarnation's late result cannot collide (F6).
- PostStop shares one shutdownTimeout budget across shutdown + dispose.
- TelemetryDialSupervisor cancels the establishment deadline on
StreamStopped; FleetDiagnosticsClient builds the ActorSelection inside
the try (a malformed node degrades to "unavailable"); the diagnostics
page labels the column "Last health publish".
- Tests: same-tag serialisation with a distinct-tag positive control;
stale queued write BadTimeout; token-ignoring hung init -> later
attempt connects; stopwatch assertion demoted to a ceiling.

DriverInstanceDiagnostics.Name carries the string driver-instance id
(what /hosts, telemetry and the artifact key on) and DriverInstanceId
the DB row Guid; the wire record has no slot for the authored display
name. The write-cap test asserts entry order per slot pair instead of
completion order of two concurrent writes.

DriverHostActor wraps the health publisher it hands its children in a
ChildHealthLedger (last snapshot per driver id, forwarded to the real
publisher), so GetDiagnostics now answers with each child's row id,
authored name, last-published state, device counts (host statuses when
the driver probes hosts, else one device) and last-change time — instead
of Guid.Empty / "Spawned" / 0 / now. Entries are forgotten on StopChild
and operator Restart.
IFleetDiagnosticsClient gains its first consumer: the new
/fleet/diagnostics page (node selector + ?node= query, revision,
running-from-cache notice, per-driver table). FleetDiagnosticsClient
logs the degrade-to-empty path at Warning.

Review 2026-10-21 G-5, G-6, G-8 ("wire them all").
- G-5: GatewayGalaxyHierarchySource now pages the DiscoverHierarchy RPC
itself (DiscoverHierarchyRawAsync) at Repository.DiscoverPageSize. The
mxaccessgw client's typed DiscoverHierarchyAsync overloads hard-code a
5000-row page and DiscoverHierarchyOptions carries no page size, so the
authored knob reached nothing; the raw request takes page_size on the
wire, so it is honoured here (non-positive → 5000). The loop keeps the
client's repeated-page-token guard.
- G-6: GalaxyDriverProbe reads ProbeTimeoutSeconds from the config and
runs under min(caller budget, configured cap) — the knob can shorten a
probe, never extend it past the host's budget. The TCP preflight now
shares that deadline instead of hanging on the caller's token alone.
- G-8: GatewayGalaxyDataWriter runs a batch as one lane per distinct tag,
concurrently and bounded at 8 (MaxConcurrentWriteLanes); same-tag
writes keep their authored order inside one lane and results land at
their request's index. Acks stay serial by design.
- GalaxyDriverForm: help text now says what the two knobs actually do.

Clears CommentChecker findings in src/ (3,280 -> 209, the remainder being false
positives like PLC-5/IEEE-754/M0.0) by adding missing summaries/params/returns,
normalising inheritdoc usage, and removing Gitea/review tracking IDs while keeping
the rationale they annotated. Comment-only: comment-stripped sources are identical
to the parent commit.
- Endpoint rewrite: the driver now connects to the configured host AND port (scheme
match, advertised path kept) instead of the server-advertised URL — fixes NAT/port-map
upstreams and lets an in-test proxy carry the session (SDK SelectEndpoint rule).
- TcpStallProxy + OpcUaClientDriverStallWireTests: the in-place blip (#670) is now
wire-tested on loopback — one Bad, frozen read stamp, same session, identical value
republished Good, a post-recovery change arrives, no source-time regression after
the SDK's late backlog flush.
- Defect found by that test, fixed: a change published right after a stall rode a
Publish response the SDK timed out and never republished, leaving the node Good on
the pre-change value indefinitely. New trailing reconcile read (Timeout +
KeepAliveInterval after recovery) publishes any Good value newer than the last
accepted one, through the replay guard's mark.
- IDriverConnectionLossSource (Core.Abstractions): opt-in definitive-loss signal.
DriverInstanceActor attaches in PreStart / detaches in PostStop and turns a raise
into a disconnect only while Connected. OpcUaClient raises once per session on
keep-alive BadSessionIdInvalid/BadSessionClosed/BadSessionNotActivated/
BadServerHalted (measured: the SDK never re-opens a halted channel) or a dropped
subscription; ambiguous codes stay with the #527 watchdog.
- Replay guard: one Information summary per recovery when the window closes
("dropped N late notifications across M refs"), with a timer so quiet
subscriptions log it too.
- ReconnectPeriod deleted (options, AdminUI form, docs, tests); stored configs that
carry reconnectPeriod still parse in the factory, probe and browser.
- Docs: OpcUaClient.md, DriverLifecycle.md, driver-specs.md, CLAUDE.md.
- OtOpcUaNodeManager overrides HistoryUpdateData / HistoryDeleteRawModified / HistoryDeleteAtTime,
block-bridging to the optional IHistorianDataUpdater under the shared HistoryRead batch limiter +
deadline. Insert/Replace/Update map to HistoryUpdateMode; Remove, IsDeleteModified, events and
structure data are BadHistoryOperationUnsupported. Per-item codes stitched back in request order
(MinValue SourceTimestamp => BadInvalidTimestamp, untypeable value => BadTypeMismatch); success
clears the base's pre-seeded Unsupported error.
- HistoryWrite AccessLevel bit OR-ed in for historized nodes when an updater is wired (raw + UNS);
it is dispatch-load-bearing in the SDK base. OtOpcUaSdkServer.SetHistorianDataUpdater; the hosted
service assigns it from an optional HistorianUpdaterHolder before SetSink, clears it on stop.
- AuthorizeHistoryUpdate: ACL on => scoped OpcUaOperation.HistoryUpdate decision (replaces the role
check); ACL off => #563 key re-check + new OpcUaDataPlaneRoles.HistoryUpdate role, conferred by
ApiKeyInterimRoleMapper only from a Cluster-scoped HistoryUpdate grant (WriteOperate does not).
- AdminUI ACL editor offers NodePermissions.HistoryUpdate.

HistoryRead is served server-side by IHistorianDataSource; nothing ever dispatched
to a driver's IHistoryProvider. Removes IHistoryProvider, the OpcUaClient history
passthrough, DriverCapability.HistoryRead (+ resilience tier rows and AdminUI row),
HistoryReadStatusException and its node-manager catches, and the tests that only
covered them. Shared result types and HistoryAggregateNotSupportedException stay
(moved to Historian/HistoryReadContracts.cs). A stored ResilienceConfig still
carrying a HistoryRead key parses (diagnostic only; new test).

An ALARM: address (*, <Type>, <Type>/<n>, <Type>/<lo>-<hi>, T<code>, OTHER) on a raw tag that
also carries the cross-driver alarm object is ONE condition with ConditionId == RawPath and a
Kind (Raise / Retrigger / Clear), so DriverHostActor.ForwardNativeAlarm routes it and
NativeAlarmProjector activates it. Fixes all seven triage defects:
1. SubscribeAlarmsAsync treated the host's RawPaths as device hosts -> nothing polled.
2. Decorated "{host}#{Type}:{Number}" ConditionId -> every event dropped.
3. No Kind -> projector kept prior state.
4. WireFocasClient.ReadAlarmsAsync answered [] on failure -> mass clear + un-acked re-raise.
It now throws; a failed device read keeps every condition's state.
5. Acks lost on reconnect -> told-record dedup (MTConnect #626 pattern) held for the driver's
lifetime; same-set re-subscribe / re-init re-raise nothing; changed set prunes leavers only.
6. Subscribe threw while AlarmProjection.Enabled=false -> the tag is the opt-in; flag is a no-op.
7. Alarm tags could not be authored -> ALARM: grammar (FocasAlarmSelector, Contracts) backs the
editor, the address picker, the deploy-time inspector and driver init.
Severity: authored alarm.severity -> exact OpcUaSeverity; else the 16i-era type bucket. The type
table stays the only one (moved to Contracts, documented 16i-era; 30i codes not invented; raw
T<code> selector + raw code in every message). Read-only: ack is server-side. Also clears the
value table on a re-initialise (#630 gap that let a removed/moved tag keep reading).
E2E: Runtime.Tests FocasNativeAlarmEndToEndTests drives the real driver through the real
DriverHostActor and asserts the condition goes Active then inactive.

The old AdminUI cannot author the per-driver transport key (#576), so the
'pin before upgrading' recipe had no working path. A node-level appsetting
(env Drivers__AbCip__DefaultTransport) now supplies the default for AbCip
drivers with no key: explicit key > node default > compiled Native. Bound
and validated unconditionally (bad value fails host start); the driver
factory and the Test Connect probe both read it so they agree. AbCip.md
upgrade recipe rewritten around the key; Configuration.md documents it.
Also documents first-wins for AllowPacking/probe and host-alias throttles
(final review M6) and moves the status-bit note out of AbCip.md (M5).

On a wire the native PCCC path is proven only for N-file reads/writes and
one F8 read (ab_server). An absent transport key now resolves to Libplctag
for every family; explicit Native still wins and still warns once per
instance on PLC-5/LogixPccc. AdminUI dropdown, CLI help, evidence claims
(PcccFileType, AbLegacy.md wire-evidence table, release note) corrected:
S:0 (default probe) and B/T/C/R/S/L/ST/A/O/I are unverified natively.

Task 22 (spec section 8 P5), with the controller rulings that exclude PLC-5 and LogixPccc.
- Transport is nullable on both option records; null (key absent) means "use the default" and is
never serialized. Factory DTO parse: absent -> null; a bad value still fails via ParseEnum.
- One resolver per driver (AbCipTransportResolver / AbLegacyTransportResolver), used by the driver
constructor, the Test Connect probe and (through the driver) the CLI.
AbCip: null -> Native. AbLegacy: null -> Native unless any device is Plc5 or LogixPccc, then the
whole driver resolves to Libplctag. Explicit values always win; explicit Native with a
Plc5/LogixPccc device logs one Warning at init.
- Init log shows configured vs effective, e.g. transport=Native (default).
- AdminUI forms: "Default (...)" / "Native (managed)" / "libplctag (fallback)". Default omits the
key on save (reverses Task 19's explicit re-emit, which would have pinned every edited driver).
- CLIs: --transport default|native|libplctag, default "default" via the resolver, so
--plc-type Plc5 with no --transport runs libplctag.
- Tests pinned to Libplctag where a default-path runtime was created: found by instrumenting the
native factories with the current xUnit test name (one unit test, AbLegacyReinitConfigAdoption;
plus the two fixture-gated AbCip probe E2E tests whose exact messages were proven on libplctag).
TransportMatrix and the differential harness already pass explicit transports.
- Switch/resolver/CLI/form tests are falsified by mutating the resolver (default -> Libplctag,
exclusion removed, AbLegacy default -> Libplctag): each mutation turns them red.
- Replaces the inline role-name literal in AbCipDriverFactoryExtensions' ParseEnum call with a named
constant; RoleAuthorityGuardTests was already red on the base commit for that line.
- Docs: AbCip.md / AbLegacy.md default + release note; CLAUDE.md AB section.

- AbCip/AbLegacy driver forms gain a Transport InputSelect; FromOptions/ToOptions now carry
Transport, so saving any other field no longer silently reverts Native to libplctag.
- Both drivers log the constructed transport once per init.
- AbCip factory now takes the host ILoggerFactory (it ran on NullLogger in production, hiding
every AbCip log line); DriverFactoryBootstrap passes it.
- Gate results: AdminUI /run (T19) native, inverted (dead port) and libplctag legs.
