Phase 2 PR 13 — port GalaxyRuntimeProbeManager state machine + wire per-platform ScanState probing. PR 8 gave operators the gateway-level transport signal (MxAccessClient.ConnectionStateChanged → OnHostStatusChanged tagged with the Wonderware client identity) — enough to detect when the entire MXAccess COM proxy dies, but silent when a specific or goes down while the gateway stays alive. This PR closes that gap: a pure-logic GalaxyRuntimeProbeManager (ported from v1's 472-LOC GalaxyRuntimeProbeManager.cs, distilled to ~240 LOC of state machine without the OPC UA node-manager entanglement) lives in Backend/Stability/, advises <TagName>.ScanState per WinPlatform + AppEngine gobject discovered during DiscoverAsync, runs the Unknown → Running → Stopped state machine with v1's documented semantics preserved verbatim, and raises a StateChanged event on transitions operators should react to. MxAccessGalaxyBackend instantiates the probe manager in the constructor with SubscribeAsync/UnsubscribeAsync delegate pointers into MxAccessClient, hooks StateChanged to forward each transition through the same OnHostStatusChanged IPC event the gateway signal uses (HostName = platform/engine TagName, RuntimeStatus = 'Running'|'Stopped'|'Unknown', LastObservedUtcUnixMs from the state-change timestamp), so Admin UI gets per-host signals flowing through the existing PR 8 wire with no additional IPC plumbing. State machine rules ported from v1 runtimestatus.md: (a) ScanState is on-change-only — a stably-Running host may go hours without a callback, so Running → Stopped is driven only by explicit ScanState=false, never by starvation; (b) Unknown → Running is a startup transition and does NOT fire StateChanged (would paint every host as 'just recovered' at startup, which is noise and can clear Bad quality set by a concurrently-stopping sibling); (c) Stopped → Running fires StateChanged for the real recovery case; (d) Running → Stopped fires StateChanged; (e) Unknown → Stopped fires StateChanged because that's the first-known-bad signal operators need when a host is down at our startup time. MxAccessGalaxyBackend.DiscoverAsync calls _probeManager.SyncAsync with the runtime-host subset of the hierarchy (CategoryId == 1 WinPlatform or 3 AppEngine) as a best-effort step after building the Discover response — probe failures are swallowed so Discover still returns the hierarchy even if a per-host advise fails; the gateway signal covers the critical rung. SyncAsync is idempotent (second call with the same set is a no-op) and handles the diff on re-Discover for tag rename / host add / host remove. Subscribe failure rolls back the host's state entry under the lock so a later probe callback for a never-advised tag can't transition a phantom state from Unknown to Stopped and fan out a false host-down signal (the same protection v1's GalaxyRuntimeProbeManager had at line 237-243 of v1 with a captured-probe-string comparison under the lock). MxAccessGalaxyBackend.Dispose unsubscribes the StateChanged handler before disposing the probe manager to prevent dangling invocation-list references across reconnects, same discipline as PR 8's ConnectionStateChanged and PR 6's SubscriptionReplayFailed. Tests (12 new GalaxyRuntimeProbeManagerTests): Sync_subscribes_to_ScanState_per_host verifies tag.ScanState subscriptions are advised per Platform/Engine; Sync_is_idempotent_on_repeat_call_with_same_set verifies no duplicate subscribes; Sync_unadvises_removed_hosts verifies the diff unadvises gone hosts; Subscribe_failure_rolls_back_host_entry_so_later_transitions_do_not_fire_stale_events covers the rollback-on-subscribe-fail guard; Unknown_to_Running_does_not_fire_StateChanged preserves the startup-noise rule; Running_to_Stopped_fires_StateChanged_with_both_states asserts OldState and NewState are both captured in the transition record; Stopped_to_Running_fires_StateChanged_for_recovery verifies the recovery case; Unknown_to_Stopped_fires_StateChanged_for_first_known_bad_signal preserves the first-bad rule; Repeated_Good_Running_callbacks_do_not_fire_duplicate_events verifies the state-tracking de-dup; Unknown_callback_for_non_tracked_probe_is_dropped asserts a foreign callback is silently ignored; Snapshot_reports_current_state_for_every_tracked_host covers the dashboard query hook; IsRuntimeHost_recognizes_WinPlatform_and_AppEngine_category_ids asserts the CategoryId filter. Galaxy.Host.Tests Unit suite 75 pass / 0 fail (12 new probe + 63 pre-existing). Galaxy.Host builds clean (0 errors / 0 warnings). Branches off v2.

+# V1 Archive Status (Phase 2 Stream D, 2026-04-18)
+
+This document inventories every v1 surface that's been **functionally superseded** by v2 but
+**physically retained** in the build until the deletion PR (Phase 2 PR 3). Rationale: cascading
+references mean a single deletion is high blast-radius; archive-marking lets the v2 stack ship
+on its own merits while the v1 surface stays as parity reference.
+
+## Archived projects
+
+| Path | Status | Replaced by | Build behavior |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/` | Archive (executable in build) | `OtOpcUa.Server` + `Driver.Galaxy.Host` + `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy` | Builds; not deployed by v2 install scripts |
+| `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Historian.Aveva/` | Archive (plugin in build) | TODO: port into `Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/` (Task B.1.h follow-up) | Builds; loaded only by archived Host |
+| `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive/` | Archive | `Driver.Galaxy.E2E` + per-component test projects | `<IsTestProject>false</IsTestProject>` — `dotnet test slnx` skips |
+| `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests/` | Archive | `Driver.Galaxy.E2E` | `<IsTestProject>false</IsTestProject>` — `dotnet test slnx` skips |
+
+## How to run the archived suites explicitly
+
+```powershell
+# v1 unit tests (494):
+dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive
+
+# v1 integration tests (6):
+dotnet test tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests
+```
+
+Both still pass on this dev box — they're the parity reference for Phase 2 PR 3's deletion
+decision.
+
+## Deletion plan (Phase 2 PR 3)
+
+Pre-conditions:
+- [ ] `Driver.Galaxy.E2E` test count covers the v1 IntegrationTests' 6 integration scenarios
+      at minimum (currently 7 tests; expand as needed)
+- [ ] `Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/` ports the Wonderware Historian plugin
+      so `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.HistoryReadAsync` returns real data (Task B.1.h)
+- [ ] Operator review on a separate PR — destructive change
+
+Steps:
+1. `git rm -r src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/`
+2. `git rm -r src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Historian.Aveva/`
+   (or move it under Driver.Galaxy.Host first if the lift is part of the same PR)
+3. `git rm -r tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive/`
+4. `git rm -r tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests/`
+5. Edit `ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` — remove the four project lines
+6. `dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` → confirm clean
+7. `dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` → confirm 470+ pass / 1 baseline (or whatever the
+   current count is plus any new E2E coverage)
+8. Commit: "Phase 2 Stream D — delete v1 archive (Host + Historian.Aveva + v1Tests + IntegrationTests)"
+9. PR 3 against `v2`, link this doc + exit-gate-phase-2-final.md
+10. One reviewer signoff
+
+## Rollback
+
+If Phase 2 PR 3 surfaces downstream consumer regressions, `git revert` the deletion commit
+restores the four projects intact. The v2 stack continues to ship from the v2 branch.

+
+## Status: **All five Phase 2 streams addressed. Stream D split across PR 2 (archive) + PR 3 (delete) per safety protocol.**
+
+## Stream-by-stream status

+## What changed in PR 2 (this branch `phase-2-stream-d`)
+
+1. **`tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests/`** renamed to `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive/`,
+   `<AssemblyName>` kept as `ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests` so the v1 Host's `InternalsVisibleTo`
+   still matches, `<IsTestProject>false</IsTestProject>` so `dotnet test slnx` excludes it.
+2. **Three other v1 projects archive-marked** with PropertyGroup comments:
+   `OtOpcUa.Host`, `Historian.Aveva`, `IntegrationTests`. `IntegrationTests` also gets
+   `<IsTestProject>false</IsTestProject>`.
+3. **New `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.E2E/`** project (.NET 10):
+   - `ParityFixture` spawns `OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Host.exe` (net48 x86) as subprocess via
+     `Process.Start`, connects via real named pipe, exposes a connected `GalaxyProxyDriver`.
+     Skips when Galaxy ZB unreachable, when Host EXE not built, or when running as
+     Administrator (PipeAcl denies admins).
+   - `RecordingAddressSpaceBuilder` captures Folder + Variable + Property registrations so
+     parity tests can assert shape.
+   - `HierarchyParityTests` (3) — Discover returns gobjects with attributes;
+     attribute full references match `tag.attribute` shape; HistoryExtension flag flows
+     through.
+   - `StabilityFindingsRegressionTests` (4) — one test per 2026-04-13 finding:
+     phantom-probe-doesn't-corrupt-status, host-status-event-is-scoped, all-async-no-sync-
+     over-async, AcknowledgeAsync-completes-before-returning.
+4. **`docs/v2/V1_ARCHIVE_STATUS.md`** — inventory + deletion plan for PR 3.
+5. **`docs/v2/implementation/exit-gate-phase-2-final.md`** (this doc) — supersedes the two
+   partial-exit docs.
+

+- `OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive` — 494 pass (v1 unit tests, kept as parity reference)
+- `OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests` — 6 pass (v1 integration tests, kept as parity reference)
+
+## Adversarial review of the PR 2 diff
+
+Independent pass over the PR 2 deltas. New findings ranked by severity; existing findings
+from the previous exit-gate doc still apply.
+
+### New findings
+
+**Medium 1 — `IsTestProject=false` on `OtOpcUa.IntegrationTests` removes the safety net.**
+The 6 v1 integration tests no longer run on solution test. *Mitigation:* the new E2E suite
+covers the same scenarios in the v2 topology shape. *Risk:* if E2E test count regresses or
+fails to cover a scenario, the v1 fallback isn't auto-checked. **Procedure**: PR 3
+checklist includes "E2E test count covers v1 IntegrationTests' 6 scenarios at minimum".
+
+**Medium 2 — Stability-finding regression tests #2, #3, #4 are structural (reflection-based)
+not behavioral.** Findings #2 and #3 use type-shape assertions (event signature carries
+HostName; methods return Task) rather than triggering the actual race. *Mitigation:* the v1
+defects were structural — fixing them required interface changes that the type-shape
+assertions catch. *Risk:* a future refactor that re-introduces sync-over-async via a non-
+async helper called inside a Task method wouldn't trip the test. **Filed as v2.1**: add a
+runtime async-call-stack analyzer (Roslyn or post-build).
+
+**Low 1 — `ParityFixture` defaults to `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_BACKEND=db`** (not `mxaccess`).
+Discover works against ZB without needing live MXAccess. The MXAccess-required tests will
+need a second fixture once they're written.
+
+**Low 2 — `Process.Start(EnvironmentVariables)` doesn't always inherit clean state.** The
+test inherits the parent's PATH + locale, which is normally fine but could mask a missing
+runtime dependency. *Mitigation:* in CI, pin a clean environment block.
+
+### Existing findings (carried forward from `exit-gate-phase-2.md`)
+
+All 8 still apply unchanged. Particularly:
+- High 1 (MxAccess Read subscription-leak on cancellation) — open
+- High 2 (no MXAccess reconnect loop, only supervisor-driven recycle) — open
+- Medium 3 (SubscribeAsync doesn't push OnDataChange frames yet) — open
+- Medium 4 (WriteValuesAsync doesn't await OnWriteComplete) — open
+
+## Cross-cutting deferrals (out of Phase 2)
+
+- **Deletion of v1 archive** — PR 3, gated on operator review + E2E coverage parity check
+- **Wonderware Historian SDK plugin port** (`Historian.Aveva` → `Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/`) — Task B.1.h, opportunistically with PR 3 or as PR 4
+- **MxAccess subscription push frames** — Task B.1.s, follow-up to enable real-time data
+  flow (currently subscribes register but values aren't pushed back)
+- **Wonderware Historian-backed HistoryRead** — depends on B.1.h
+- **Alarm subsystem wire-up** — `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAlarmsAsync` is a no-op
+- **Reconnect-without-recycle** in MxAccessClient — v2.1 refinement
+- **Real downstream-consumer cutover** (ScadaBridge / Ignition / SystemPlatform IO) — outside this repo
+
+## Recommended order
+
+1. **PR 1** (`phase-1-configuration` → `v2`) — merge first; self-contained, parity preserved
+2. **PR 2** (`phase-2-stream-d` → `v2`, this PR) — merge after PR 1; introduces E2E suite +
+   archive markings; v1 surface still builds and is run-able explicitly
+3. **PR 3** (next session) — delete v1 archive; depends on operator approval after PR 2
+   reviewer signoff
+4. **PR 4** (Phase 2 follow-up) — Historian port + MxAccess subscription push frames + the
+   open high/medium findings

+# Phase 2 Exit Gate Record (2026-04-18)
+
+> Supersedes `phase-2-partial-exit-evidence.md`. Captures the as-built state of Phase 2 after
+> the MXAccess COM client port + DB-backed and MXAccess-backed Galaxy backends + adversarial
+> review.
+
+## Status: **Streams A, B, C complete. Stream D + E gated only on legacy-Host removal + parity-test rewrite.**
+
+The Phase 2 plan exit criterion ("v1 IntegrationTests pass against v2 Galaxy.Proxy + Galaxy.Host
+topology byte-for-byte") still cannot be auto-validated in a single session. The blocker is no
+longer "the Galaxy code lift" — that's done in this session — but the structural fact that the
+494 v1 IntegrationTests instantiate v1 `OtOpcUa.Host` classes directly. They have to be rewritten
+to use the IPC-fronted Proxy topology before legacy `OtOpcUa.Host` can be deleted, and the plan
+budgets that work as a multi-day debug-cycle (Task E.1).
+
+What changed today: the MXAccess COM client now exists in Galaxy.Host with a real
+`ArchestrA.MxAccess.dll` reference, runs end-to-end against live `LMXProxyServer`, and 3 live
+COM smoke tests pass on this dev box. `MxAccessGalaxyBackend` (the third
+`IGalaxyBackend` implementation, alongside `StubGalaxyBackend` and `DbBackedGalaxyBackend`)
+combines the ported `GalaxyRepository` with the ported `MxAccessClient` so Discover / Read /
+Write / Subscribe all flow through one production-shape backend. `Program.cs` selects between
+the three backends via the `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_BACKEND` env var (default = `mxaccess`).
+
+## Delivered in Phase 2 (full scope, not just scaffolds)
+
+### Stream A — Driver.Galaxy.Shared (✅ complete)
+- 9 contract files: Hello/HelloAck (version negotiation), OpenSession/CloseSession/Heartbeat,
+  Discover + GalaxyObjectInfo + GalaxyAttributeInfo, Read/Write + GalaxyDataValue,
+  Subscribe/Unsubscribe/OnDataChange, AlarmSubscribe/Event/Ack, HistoryRead, HostConnectivityStatus,
+  Recycle.
+- Length-prefixed framing (4-byte BE length + 1-byte kind + MessagePack body) with a
+  16 MiB cap.
+- Thread-safe `FrameWriter` (semaphore-gated) and single-consumer `FrameReader`.
+- 6 round-trip tests + reflection-scan that asserts contracts only reference BCL + MessagePack.
+
+### Stream B — Driver.Galaxy.Host (✅ complete, exceeded original scope)
+- Real Win32 message pump in `StaPump` — `GetMessage`/`PostThreadMessage`/`PeekMessage`/
+  `PostQuitMessage` P/Invoke, dedicated STA thread, `WM_APP=0x8000` work dispatch, `WM_APP+1`
+  graceful-drain → `PostQuitMessage`, 5s join-on-dispose, responsiveness probe.
+- Strict `PipeAcl` (allow configured server SID only, deny LocalSystem + Administrators),
+  `PipeServer` with caller-SID verification + per-process shared-secret `Hello` handshake.
+- Galaxy-specific `MemoryWatchdog` (warn `max(1.5×baseline, +200 MB)`, soft-recycle
+  `max(2×baseline, +200 MB)`, hard ceiling 1.5 GB, slope ≥5 MB/min over 30-min window).
+- `RecyclePolicy` (1/hr cap + 03:00 daily scheduled), `PostMortemMmf` (1000-entry ring
+  buffer, hard-crash survivable, cross-process readable), `MxAccessHandle : SafeHandle`.
+- `IGalaxyBackend` interface + 3 implementations:
+  - **`StubGalaxyBackend`** — keeps IPC end-to-end testable without Galaxy.
+  - **`DbBackedGalaxyBackend`** — real Discover via the ported `GalaxyRepository` against ZB.
+  - **`MxAccessGalaxyBackend`** — Discover via DB + Read/Write/Subscribe via the ported
+    `MxAccessClient` over the StaPump.
+- `GalaxyRepository` ported from v1 (HierarchySql + AttributesSql byte-for-byte identical).
+- `MxAccessClient` ported from v1 (Connect/Read/Write/Subscribe/Unsubscribe + ConcurrentDict
+  handle tracking + OnDataChange / OnWriteComplete event marshalling). The reconnect loop +
+  Historian plugin loader + extended-attribute query are explicit follow-ups.
+- `MxProxyAdapter` + `IMxProxy` for COM-isolation testability.
+- `Program.cs` env-driven backend selection (`OTOPCUA_GALAXY_BACKEND=stub|db|mxaccess`,
+  `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_ZB_CONN`, `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_CLIENT_NAME`, plus the Phase 2 baseline
+  `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_PIPE` / `OTOPCUA_ALLOWED_SID` / `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET`).
+- ArchestrA.MxAccess.dll referenced via HintPath at `lib/ArchestrA.MxAccess.dll`. Project
+  flipped to **x86 platform target** (the COM interop requires it).
+
+### Stream C — Driver.Galaxy.Proxy (✅ complete)
+- `GalaxyProxyDriver` implements **all 9** capability interfaces — `IDriver`, `ITagDiscovery`,
+  `IReadable`, `IWritable`, `ISubscribable`, `IAlarmSource`, `IHistoryProvider`,
+  `IRediscoverable`, `IHostConnectivityProbe` — each forwarding through the matching IPC
+  contract.
+- `GalaxyIpcClient` with `CallAsync` (request/response gated through a semaphore so concurrent
+  callers don't interleave frames) + `SendOneWayAsync` for fire-and-forget calls
+  (Unsubscribe / AlarmAck / CloseSession).
+- `Backoff` (5s → 15s → 60s, capped, reset-on-stable-run), `CircuitBreaker` (3 crashes per
+  5 min opens; 1h → 4h → manual escalation; sticky alert), `HeartbeatMonitor` (2s cadence,
+  3 misses = host dead).
+
+### Tests
+- **963 pass / 1 pre-existing baseline** across the full solution.
+- New in this session:
+  - `StaPumpTests` — pump still passes 3/3 against the real Win32 implementation
+  - `EndToEndIpcTests` (5) — every IPC operation through Pipe + dispatcher + StubBackend
+  - `IpcHandshakeIntegrationTests` (2) — Hello + heartbeat + secret rejection
+  - `GalaxyRepositoryLiveSmokeTests` (5) — live SQL against ZB, skip when ZB unreachable
+  - `MxAccessLiveSmokeTests` (3) — live COM against running `aaBootstrap` + `LMXProxyServer`
+  - All net48 x86 to match Galaxy.Host

+Independent pass over the Phase 2 deltas. Findings ranked by severity; **all open items are
+explicitly deferred to Stream D/E or v2.1 with rationale.**
+
+### Critical — none.
+
+### High
+
+1. **MxAccess `ReadAsync` has a subscription-leak window on cancellation.** The one-shot read
+   uses subscribe → first-OnDataChange → unsubscribe. If the caller cancels between the
+   `SubscribeOnPumpAsync` await and the `tcs.Task` await, the subscription stays installed.
+   *Mitigation:* the StaPump's idempotent unsubscribe path drops orphan subs at disconnect, but
+   a long-running session leaks them. **Fix scoped to Phase 2 follow-up** alongside the proper
+   subscription registry that v1 had.
+
+2. **No reconnect loop on the MXAccess COM connection.** v1's `MxAccessClient.Monitor` polled
+   a probe tag and triggered reconnect-with-replay on disconnection. The ported client's
+   `ConnectAsync` is one-shot and there's no health monitor. *Mitigation:* the Tier C
+   supervisor on the Proxy side (CircuitBreaker + HeartbeatMonitor) restarts the whole Host
+   process on liveness failure, so connection loss surfaces as a process recycle rather than
+   silent data loss. **Reconnect-without-recycle is a v2.1 refinement** per `driver-stability.md`.
+
+### Medium
+
+3. **`MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAsync` doesn't push OnDataChange frames back to the
+   Proxy.** The wire frame `MessageKind.OnDataChangeNotification` is defined and `GalaxyProxyDriver`
+   has the `RaiseDataChange` internal entry point, but the Host-side push pipeline isn't wired —
+   the subscribe registers on the COM side but the value just gets discarded. *Mitigation:* the
+   SubscribeAsync handle is still useful for the ack flow, and one-shot reads work. **Push
+   plumbing is the next-session item.**
+
+4. **`WriteValuesAsync` doesn't await the OnWriteComplete callback.** v1's implementation
+   awaited a TCS keyed on the item handle; the port fires the write and returns success without
+   confirming the runtime accepted it. *Mitigation:* the StatusCode in the response will be 0
+   (Good) for a fire-and-forget — false positive if the runtime rejects post-callback. **Fix
+   needs the same TCS-by-handle pattern as v1; queued.**
+
+5. **`MxAccessGalaxyBackend.Discover` re-queries SQL on every call.** v1 cached the tree and
+   only refreshed on the deploy-watermark change. *Mitigation:* AttributesSql is the slow one
+   (~30s for a large Galaxy); first-call latency is the symptom, not data loss. **Caching +
+   `IRediscoverable` push is a v2.1 follow-up.**
+
+### Low
+
+6. **Live MXAccess test `Backend_ReadValues_against_discovered_attribute_returns_a_response_shape`
+   silently passes if no readable attribute is found.** Documented; the test asserts the *shape*
+   not the *value* because some Galaxy installs are configuration-only.
+
+7. **`FrameWriter` allocates the length-prefix as a 4-byte heap array per call.** Could be
+   stackalloc. Microbenchmark not done — currently irrelevant.
+
+8. **`MxProxyAdapter.Unregister` swallows exceptions during `Unregister(handle)`.** v1 did the
+   same; documented as best-effort during teardown. Consider logging the swallow.
+
+### Out of scope (correctly deferred)
+
+- Stream D.1 — delete legacy `OtOpcUa.Host`. **Cannot be done in any single session** because
+  the 494 v1 IntegrationTests reference Host classes directly. Requires the test rewrite cycle
+  in Stream E.
+- Stream E.1 — run v1 IntegrationTests against v2 topology. Requires (a) test rewrite to use
+  Proxy/Host instead of in-process Host classes, then (b) the parity-debug iteration that the
+  plan budgets 3-4 weeks for.
+- Stream E.2 — Client.CLI walkthrough diff. Requires the v1 baseline capture.
+- Stream E.3 — four 2026-04-13 stability findings regression tests. Requires the parity test
+  harness from Stream E.1.
+- Wonderware Historian SDK plugin loader (Task B.1.h). HistoryRead returns a recognisable
+  error until the plugin loader is wired.
+- Alarm subsystem wire-up (`MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAlarmsAsync` is a no-op today).
+  v1's alarm tracking is its own subtree; queued as Phase 2 follow-up.
+
+## Stream-D removal checklist (next session)
+
+1. Decide policy on the 494 v1 tests:
+   - **Option A**: rewrite to use `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy` + `Driver.Galaxy.Host` topology
+     (multi-day; full parity validation as a side effect)
+   - **Option B**: archive them as `OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive` and write a smaller v2 parity suite
+     against the new topology (faster; less coverage initially)
+2. Execute the chosen option.
+3. Delete `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/`, remove from `.slnx`.
+4. Update Windows service installer to register two services
+   (`OtOpcUa` + `OtOpcUaGalaxyHost`) with the correct service-account SIDs.
+5. Migration script for `appsettings.json` Galaxy sections → `DriverInstance.DriverConfig` JSON.
+6. PR + adversarial review + `exit-gate-phase-2-final.md`.

-## Status: **Streams A + B + C scaffolded and test-green. Streams D + E deferred.**
+## Status: **Streams A + B + C complete (real Win32 pump, all 9 capability interfaces, end-to-end IPC dispatch). Streams D + E remain — gated only on the iterative Galaxy code lift + parity-debug cycle.**
 
 The goal per the plan is "parity, not regression" — the phase exit gate requires v1
 IntegrationTests to pass against the v2 Galaxy.Proxy + Galaxy.Host topology byte-for-byte.
 Achieving that requires live MXAccess runtime plus the Galaxy code lift out of the legacy
-`OtOpcUa.Host`. Both are operations that need a dev Galaxy up and a parity test cycle to verify.
-Without that cycle, deleting the legacy Host would break the 494 passing v1 tests that are the
-parity baseline.

+# PR 4 — Phase 2 follow-up: close the 4 open MXAccess findings
+
+**Source**: `phase-2-pr4-findings` (branched from `phase-2-stream-d`)
+**Target**: `v2`
+
+## Summary
+
+Closes the 4 high/medium open findings carried forward in `exit-gate-phase-2-final.md`:
+
+- **High 1 — `ReadAsync` subscription-leak on cancel.** One-shot read now wraps the
+  subscribe→first-OnDataChange→unsubscribe pattern in a `try/finally` so the per-tag
+  callback is always detached, and if the read installed the underlying MXAccess
+  subscription itself (no other caller had it), it tears it down on the way out.
+- **High 2 — No reconnect loop on the MXAccess COM connection.** New
+  `MxAccessClientOptions { AutoReconnect, MonitorInterval, StaleThreshold }` + a background
+  `MonitorLoopAsync` that watches a stale-activity threshold + probes the proxy via a
+  no-op COM call, then reconnects-with-replay (re-Register, re-AddItem every active
+  subscription) when the proxy is dead. Liveness signal: every `OnDataChange` callback bumps
+  `_lastObservedActivityUtc`. Defaults match v1 monitor cadence (5s poll, 60s stale).
+  `ReconnectCount` exposed for diagnostics; `ConnectionStateChanged` event for downstream
+  consumers (the supervisor on the Proxy side already surfaces this through its
+  HeartbeatMonitor, but the Host-side event lets local logging/metrics hook in).
+- **Medium 3 — `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAsync` doesn't push OnDataChange frames back to
+  the Proxy.** New `IGalaxyBackend.OnDataChange` / `OnAlarmEvent` / `OnHostStatusChanged`
+  events that the new `GalaxyFrameHandler.AttachConnection` subscribes per-connection and
+  forwards as outbound `OnDataChangeNotification` / `AlarmEvent` /
+  `RuntimeStatusChange` frames through the connection's `FrameWriter`. `MxAccessGalaxyBackend`
+  fans out per-tag value changes to every `SubscriptionId` that's listening to that tag
+  (multiple Proxy subs may share a Galaxy attribute — single COM subscription, multi-fan-out
+  on the wire). Stub + DbBacked backends declare the events with `#pragma warning disable
+  CS0067` (treat-warnings-as-errors would otherwise fail on never-raised events that exist
+  only to satisfy the interface).
+- **Medium 4 — `WriteValuesAsync` doesn't await `OnWriteComplete`.** New
+  `WriteAsync(...)` overload returns `bool` after awaiting the OnWriteComplete callback via
+  the v1-style `TaskCompletionSource`-keyed-by-item-handle pattern in `_pendingWrites`.
+  `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.WriteValuesAsync` now reports per-tag `Bad_InternalError` when the
+  runtime rejected the write, instead of false-positive `Good`.
+
+## Pipe server change
+
+`IFrameHandler` gains `AttachConnection(FrameWriter writer): IDisposable` so the handler can
+register backend event sinks on each accepted connection and detach them at disconnect. The
+`PipeServer.RunOneConnectionAsync` calls it after the Hello handshake and disposes it in the
+finally of the per-connection scope. `StubFrameHandler` returns `IFrameHandler.NoopAttachment.Instance`
+(net48 doesn't support default interface methods, so the empty-attach lives as a public nested
+class).
+
+## Tests
+
+**`dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx`**: **460 pass / 7 skip (E2E on admin shell) / 1
+pre-existing baseline failure**. No regressions. The Driver.Galaxy.Host unit tests + 5 live
+ZB smoke + 3 live MXAccess COM smoke all pass unchanged.
+
+## Test plan for reviewers
+
+- [ ] `dotnet build` clean
+- [ ] `dotnet test` shows 460/7-skip/1-baseline
+- [ ] Spot-check `MxAccessClient.MonitorLoopAsync` against v1's `MxAccessClient.Monitor`
+      partial (`src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/MxAccess/MxAccessClient.Monitor.cs`) — same
+      polling cadence, same probe-then-reconnect-with-replay shape
+- [ ] Read `GalaxyFrameHandler.ConnectionSink.Dispose` and confirm event handlers are
+      detached on connection close (no leaked invocation list refs)
+- [ ] `WriteValuesAsync` returning `Bad_InternalError` on a runtime-rejected write is the
+      correct shape — confirm against the v1 `MxAccessClient.ReadWrite.cs` pattern
+
+## What's NOT in this PR
+
+- Wonderware Historian SDK plugin port (Task B.1.h) — separate PR, larger scope.
+- Alarm subsystem wire-up (`MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAlarmsAsync` is still a no-op).
+  `OnAlarmEvent` is declared on the backend interface and pushed by the frame handler when
+  raised; `MxAccessGalaxyBackend` just doesn't raise it yet (waits for the alarm-tracking
+  port from v1's `AlarmObjectFilter` + Galaxy alarm primitives).
+- Host-status push (`OnHostStatusChanged`) — declared on the interface and pushed by the
+  frame handler; `MxAccessGalaxyBackend` doesn't raise it (the Galaxy.Host's
+  `HostConnectivityProbe` from v1 needs porting too, scoped under the Historian PR).
+
+## Adversarial review
+
+Quick pass over the PR 4 deltas. No new findings beyond:
+
+- **Low 1** — `MonitorLoopAsync`'s `$Heartbeat` probe item-handle is leaked
+  (`AddItem` succeeds, never `RemoveItem`'d). Cosmetic — the probe item is internal to
+  the COM connection, dies with `Unregister` at disconnect/recycle. Worth a follow-up
+  to call `RemoveItem` after the probe succeeds.
+- **Low 2** — Replay loop in `MonitorLoopAsync` swallows per-subscription failures. If
+  Galaxy permanently rejects a previously-valid reference (rare but possible after a
+  re-deploy), the user gets silent data loss for that one subscription. The stub-handler-
+  unaware operator wouldn't notice. Worth surfacing as a `ConnectionStateChanged(false)
+  → ConnectionStateChanged(true)` payload that includes the replay-failures list.
+
+Both are low-priority follow-ups, not PR 4 blockers.

+# Stream D — Legacy `OtOpcUa.Host` Removal Procedure
+
+> Sequenced playbook for the next session that takes Phase 2 to its full exit gate.
+> All Stream A/B/C work is committed. The blocker is structural: the 494 v1
+> `OtOpcUa.Tests` instantiate v1 `Host` classes directly, so they must be
+> retargeted (or archived) before the Host project can be deleted.
+
+## Decision: Option A or Option B
+
+### Option A — Rewrite the 494 v1 tests to use v2 topology
+
+**Effort**: 3-5 days. Highest fidelity (full v1 test coverage carries forward).
+
+**Steps**:
+1. Build a `ProxyMxAccessClientAdapter` in a new `OtOpcUa.LegacyTestCompat/` project that
+   implements v1's `IMxAccessClient` by forwarding to `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy.GalaxyProxyDriver`.
+   Maps v1 `Vtq` ↔ v2 `DataValueSnapshot`, v1 `Quality` enum ↔ v2 `StatusCode` u32, the v1
+   `OnTagValueChanged` event ↔ v2 `ISubscribable.OnDataChange`.
+2. Same idea for `IGalaxyRepository` — adapter that wraps v2's `Backend.Galaxy.GalaxyRepository`.
+3. Replace `MxAccessClient` constructions in `OtOpcUa.Tests` test fixtures with the adapter.
+   Most tests use a single fixture so the change-set is concentrated.
+4. For each test class: run; iterate on parity defects until green. Expected defect families:
+   timing-sensitive assertions (IPC adds ~5ms latency; widen tolerances), Quality enum vs
+   StatusCode mismatches, value-byte-encoding differences.
+5. Once all 494 pass: proceed to deletion checklist below.
+
+**When to pick A**: regulatory environments that need the full historical test suite green,
+or when the v2 parity gate is itself a release-blocking artifact downstream consumers will
+look for.
+
+### Option B — Archive the 494 v1 tests, build a smaller v2 parity suite
+
+**Effort**: 1-2 days. Faster to green; less coverage initially, accreted over time.
+
+**Steps**:
+1. Rename `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests/` → `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Tests.v1Archive/`.
+   Add `<IsTestProject>false</IsTestProject>` so CI doesn't run them; mark every class with
+   `[Trait("Category", "v1Archive")]` so a future operator can opt in via `--filter`.
+2. New `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.E2E/` project (.NET 10):
+   - `ParityFixture` spawns Galaxy.Host EXE per test class with `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_BACKEND=mxaccess`
+     pointing at the dev box's live Galaxy. Pattern from `HostSubprocessParityTests`.
+   - 10-20 representative tests covering the core paths: hierarchy shape, attribute count,
+     read-Manufacturer-Boolean, write-Operate-Float roundtrip, subscribe-receives-OnDataChange,
+     Bad-quality on disconnect, alarm-event-shape.
+3. The four 2026-04-13 stability findings get individual regression tests in this project.
+4. Once green: proceed to deletion checklist below.
+
+**When to pick B**: typical dev velocity case. The v1 archive is reference, the new suite is
+the live parity bar.
+
+## Deletion checklist (after Option A or B is green)
+
+Pre-conditions:
+- [ ] Chosen-option test suite green (494 retargeted OR new E2E suite passing on this box)
+- [ ] `phase-2-compliance.ps1` runs and exits 0
+- [ ] `Get-Service aaGR, aaBootstrap` → Running
+- [ ] `Driver.Galaxy.Host` x86 publish output verified at
+      `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Host/bin/Release/net48/`
+- [ ] Migration script tested: `scripts/migration/Migrate-AppSettings-To-DriverConfig.ps1
+      -AppSettingsPath src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/appsettings.json -DryRun` produces a
+      well-formed DriverConfig
+- [ ] Service installer scripts dry-run on a test box: `scripts/install/Install-Services.ps1
+      -InstallRoot C:\OtOpcUa -ServiceAccount LOCALHOST\testuser` registers both services
+      and they start
+
+Steps:
+1. Delete `src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host/` (the legacy in-process Host project).
+2. Edit `ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` — remove the legacy Host `<Project>` line; keep all v2
+   project lines.
+3. Migrate the dev `appsettings.json` Galaxy sections to `DriverConfig` JSON via the
+   migration script; insert into the Configuration DB for the dev cluster's Galaxy driver
+   instance.
+4. Run the chosen test suite once more — confirm zero regressions from the deletion.
+5. Build full solution (`dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx`) — confirm clean build with
+   no references to the deleted project.
+6. Commit:
+   `git rm -r src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Host` followed by the slnx + cleanup edits in one
+   atomic commit titled "Phase 2 Stream D — retire legacy OtOpcUa.Host".
+7. Run `/codex:adversarial-review --base v2` on the merged Phase 2 diff.
+8. Record `exit-gate-phase-2-final.md` with: Option chosen, deletion-commit SHA, parity
+   test count + duration, adversarial-review findings (each closed or deferred with link).
+9. Open PR against `v2`, link the exit-gate doc + compliance script output + parity report.
+10. Merge after one reviewer signoff.
+
+## Rollback
+
+If Stream D causes downstream consumer failures (ScadaBridge / Ignition / SystemPlatform IO
+clients seeing different OPC UA behavior), the rollback is `git revert` of the deletion
+commit — the whole v2 codebase keeps Galaxy.Proxy + Galaxy.Host installed alongside the
+restored legacy Host. Production can run either topology. `OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Proxy`
+becomes dormant until the next attempt.
+
+## Why this can't one-shot in an autonomous session
+
+- The parity-defect debug cycle is intrinsically interactive: each iteration requires running
+  the test suite against live Galaxy, inspecting the diff, deciding if the difference is a
+  legitimate v2 improvement or a regression, then either widening the assertion or fixing the
+  v2 code. That decision-making is the bottleneck, not the typing.
+- The legacy-Host deletion is destructive — needs explicit operator authorization on a real
+  PR review, not unattended automation.
+- The downstream consumer cutover (ScadaBridge, Ignition, AppServer) lives outside this repo
+  and on an integration-team track; "Phase 2 done" inside this repo is a precondition, not
+  the full release.
