+# ADR-001 — Equipment node walker: how driver tags bind to the UNS address space
+
+**Status:** Accepted 2026-04-20 — Option A (Config-primary); Option D deferred to v2.1
+
+**Related tasks:** [#195 IdentificationFolderBuilder wire-in](../../../) (blocked on this)
+
+**Related decisions in `plan.md`:** #110 (Tag belongs to Equipment via FK in Equipment ns),
+#116 / #117 / #121 (five identifiers as properties, `Equipment.Name` as path segment),
+#120 (UNS hierarchy mandatory in Equipment ns; SystemPlatform ns exempt).
+
+## Context
+
+Today the `DriverNodeManager` builds its address space by calling
+`ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` on each registered driver. Every driver returns whatever
+browse shape its wire protocol produces — Galaxy returns gobjects with attributes, Modbus
+returns whatever tag configs the operator authored, AB CIP returns controller-walk output,
+etc. The result is a per-driver subtree, rooted under the driver's own namespace, with no
+UNS levels.
+
+The Config DB meanwhile carries the authoritative UNS model for every Equipment-kind
+namespace:
+
+```
+ConfigGeneration
+ └─ ServerCluster
+    └─ Namespace (Kind=Equipment)
+       └─ UnsArea
+          └─ UnsLine
+             └─ Equipment (carries 9 OPC 40010 Identification fields + 5 identifiers)
+                └─ Tag (EquipmentId FK when Kind=Equipment; DriverInstanceId + FolderPath when Kind=SystemPlatform)
+```
+
+Decision #110 already binds `Tag → Equipment` by foreign key. Decision #120 requires the
+Equipment-namespace browse tree to conform to `Enterprise/Site/Area/Line/Equipment/TagName`.
+The building blocks exist:
+
+- `IdentificationFolderBuilder.Build(equipmentBuilder, row)` — pure function that hangs
+  nine OPC 40010 properties under an Equipment node. Shipped, untested in integration.
+- `Equipment` table rows with `UnsLineId` FK + the 9 identification columns + the 5
+  identifier columns.
+- `Tag` table rows with nullable `EquipmentId` + a `TagConfig` JSON column carrying the
+  wire-level address.
+- `NodeScopeResolver` — Phase-1 stub that returns a cluster-level scope only, with an
+  explicit "future resolver will join against the Configuration DB" note.
+
+What's missing is the **walker**: server-side code that reads the UNS + Equipment + Tag
+rows for the current published generation, traverses them in UNS order, materializes each
+level as an OPC UA folder, and wires `IdentificationFolderBuilder.Build` + the 5-identifier
+properties under each Equipment node.
+
+The walker isn't pure bookkeeping — it has to decide **how driver-discovered tags bind to
+UNS Equipment nodes**. That's the decision this ADR resolves.
+
+## Open question
+
+> For an Equipment-kind driver, is the published OPC UA surface driven by (a) the Config
+> DB's `Tag` rows, (b) the driver's `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` output, or (c) some
+> combination?
+
+SystemPlatform-kind drivers (Galaxy only, today) are unambiguous: decision #120 exempts
+them from UNS + they keep their v1 native hierarchy. The walker does not touch
+SystemPlatform namespaces beyond the existing driver-discovery path. This ADR only decides
+Equipment-kind composition.
+
+## Options
+
+### Option A — Config-primary
+
+The `Tag` table is the sole source of truth for what gets published. `ITagDiscovery`
+becomes a validation + enrichment surface, not a discovery surface.
+
+**Walker flow:**
+
+1. Read `UnsArea` / `UnsLine` / `Equipment` / `Tag` for the published generation.
+2. Walk Area → Line → Equipment, materializing each level as an OPC UA folder.
+3. Under each Equipment node:
+   - Add the 5 identifier properties (`EquipmentId`, `EquipmentUuid`, `MachineCode`,
+     `ZTag`, `SAPID`) as OPC UA properties per decision #121.
+   - Call `IdentificationFolderBuilder.Build` to add the `Identification` sub-folder with
+     the 9 OPC 40010 fields.
+   - For each `Tag` row bound to this Equipment: ask the driver's `IReadable` /
+     `IWritable` surface whether it can address `Tag.TagConfig.address`; if yes, create a
+     variable node. If no, create a `BadNotFound` placeholder with a diagnostic so
+     operators see the mismatch instead of a silent drop.
+4. `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` is re-purposed to **enrich** — driver may return schema
+   hints (data type, bounds, description) that operators missed when authoring the Tag
+   row. The Admin UI surfaces them as "driver suggests" hints for next-draft edits.
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+
+- ✅ Matches decision #110's framing cleanly. `Tag` rows carry the contract; nothing gets
+  published that's not explicitly authored.
+- ✅ Same model for every Equipment-kind driver. Modbus / S7 / AB CIP / AB Legacy /
+  TwinCAT / FOCAS / OpcUaClient all compose identically.
+- ✅ UNS hierarchy is always exactly as-authored. No race between "driver added a tag at
+  runtime" and "operator hasn't approved it yet."
+- ✅ Aligns with the Config-DB-first operator story the Admin UI already tells.
+- ❌ Drivers with large native schemas (TwinCAT PLCs with thousands of symbols, AB CIP
+  controllers with full @tags walkers) can't "just publish everything" — operators must
+  author Tag rows. This is a pure workflow cost, not a correctness cost.
+- ❌ A Tag row whose driver can't address it produces a placeholder node at runtime
+  (BadNotFound), not a publish-time validation failure. Mitigation: `sp_ValidateDraft`
+  already validates per-driver references at publish — extend it to call each driver's
+  existence check, or keep it as runtime-visible with an Admin UI indicator.
+
+### Option B — Discovery-primary
+
+`ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` is the source of truth for what gets published. The walker
+joins discovered tags against Config-DB Equipment rows to assemble the UNS tree.
+
+**Walker flow:**
+
+1. Driver runs `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` — returns its native tag graph.
+2. Walker reads `Equipment` + `Tag` rows; uses `Tag.TagConfig.address` to match against
+   discovered references.
+3. For each match: materialize the UNS path + attach the discovered variable under the
+   bound Equipment node.
+4. Discovered tags with no matching `Tag` row: silently dropped (or surfaced under a
+   `Unmapped/` diagnostic folder).
+5. `Tag` rows with no discovered match: hidden (or surfaced as `BadNotFound` placeholder
+   same as Option A).
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+
+- ✅ Lets drivers with rich discovery (TwinCAT `SymbolLoaderFactory`, AB CIP `@tags`)
+  publish live controller state without operator-authored Tag rows for every symbol.
+- ✅ Driver-native metadata (real OPC UA data types, real bounds) is authoritative.
+- ❌ Conflicts with the Config-DB-first publish workflow. Operators publish a generation
+  + discover a different set at runtime + the two don't necessarily match. Diff tooling
+  becomes harder.
+- ❌ Galaxy's SystemPlatform-namespace path still uses Option-B-like discovery — so the
+  codebase would host two compositions regardless. But adding a second
+  discovery-primary composition for Equipment-kind would double the surface operators
+  have to reason about.
+- ❌ Requires each driver to emit tag identifiers that stably match `Tag.TagConfig.address`
+  shape across re-discovery. Works for Galaxy (attribute full refs are stable); harder for
+  AB CIP where the @tags walker may return tags operators haven't declared.
+- ❌ Operator-visible symptom of "my tag didn't publish" splits between two places: the
+  Tag row exists (Config DB) + the driver can't find it (runtime discovery). Option A
+  surfaces the same gap as a single `BadNotFound` placeholder; B multiplies it.
+
+### Option C — Parallel namespaces
+
+Driver tags are always published under a driver-native folder hierarchy (discovery-driven,
+same as today). A secondary UNS "view" namespace is overlaid, containing Equipment nodes
+with Identification sub-folders + `Organizes` references pointing at the driver-native tag
+nodes.
+
+**Walker flow:**
+
+1. Driver's native discovery publishes `ns=2;s={DriverInstanceId}/{...driver shape}` as
+   today.
+2. Walker reads UNS + Equipment + Tag rows.
+3. For each Equipment, creates a node under the UNS namespace (`ns=3;s=UNS/Site/Area/Line/Equipment`)
+   + adds Identification properties + creates `Organizes` references from the Equipment
+   node to the matching driver-native variable nodes.
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+
+- ✅ Preserves the discovery-first driver shape — no change to what Modbus / S7 / AB CIP
+  publish natively; those projects keep working identically.
+- ✅ UNS tree becomes an overlay that operators can opt into or out of. External consumers
+  that want UNS addressing browse via the UNS namespace; consumers that want driver-native
+  addressing keep using the driver namespace.
+- ❌ Doubles the OPC UA node count for every Equipment-kind tag (one node in driver ns,
+  one reference in UNS ns). OPC UA clients handle it but it inflates browse-result sizes.
+- ❌ Contradicts decision #120: "Equipment namespace browse paths must conform to the
+  canonical 5-level Unified Namespace structure." Option C makes the driver namespace
+  browse path NOT conform; the UNS namespace is a second view. An external client that
+  reads the Equipment namespace in driver-native shape doesn't see UNS at all.
+- ❌ Identification ACL semantics get complicated — the sub-folder lives in the UNS ns,
+  but the tag data lives in the driver ns. Two different scope ids; two grants to author.
+
+### Option D — Config-primary with driver-discovery-assist
+
+Same as Option A, but `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync` is called during *draft authoring*
+(not at server runtime) to populate an Admin UI "discovered tags available" panel that
+operators can one-click-add to the draft Tag table. At publish time the Tag rows drive
+the server as in Option A — discovery runs only as an offline helper.
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+
+- ✅ Keeps Option A's runtime semantics — Config DB is the sole publish-time truth.
+- ✅ Closes Option A's only real workflow weakness (authoring Tag rows for large
+  controllers) by letting operators import discovered tags with a click.
+- ✅ Draws a clean line between author-time discovery (optional, offline) and publish-time
+  resolution (strict, Config-DB-driven).
+- ❌ Adds work that isn't on the Phase 6.4 checklist — Admin UI needs a "pull discovered
+  tags from this driver" flow, which means the Admin host needs to proxy a DiscoverAsync
+  call through the Server process (or directly into the driver — more complex deployment
+  topology). v2.1 work, not v2.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Pick Option A.** Ship the walker as Config-primary immediately; defer Option D's
+Admin-UI discovery-assist to v2.1 once the walker is proven.
+
+Reasons:
+
+1. **Decision #110 already points here.** `Tag.EquipmentId` + `Tag.TagConfig` are the
+   published contract. Option A is the straight-line implementation of that contract.
+2. **Identical composition across seven drivers.** Every Equipment-kind driver uses the
+   same walker code path. New drivers (e.g. a future OPC UA Client gateway mode) plug in
+   without touching the walker.
+3. **Phase 6.4 Admin UI already authors Tag rows.** CSV import, UnsTab drag/drop, draft
+   diff — all operate on Tag rows. The walker being Tag-row-driven means the Admin UI
+   and the server see the same surface.
+4. **BadNotFound is a clean failure mode.** An operator publishes a Tag row whose
+   address the driver can't reach → client sees a `BadNotFound` variable with a
+   diagnostic, operator fixes the Tag row + republishes. This is legible + easy to
+   debug. Options B and C smear the failure across multiple namespaces.
+5. **Option D is additive, not alternative.** Nothing in A blocks adding D later; the
+   walker contract stays the same, Admin UI just gets a discovery-assist panel.
+
+The walker implementation lands under two tasks this ADR spawns (if accepted):
+
+- **Task A** — Build `EquipmentNodeWalker` in `Core.OpcUa` that drives the
+  `ClusterNode → Namespace → UnsArea → UnsLine → Equipment → Tag` traversal, calls
+  `IdentificationFolderBuilder.Build` per Equipment, materializes the 5 identifier
+  properties, and creates variable nodes for each bound Tag row. Writes integration
+  tests covering the happy path + BadNotFound placeholder.
+- **Task B** — Extend `NodeScopeResolver` to join against Config DB + populate the
+  full `NodeScope` path (UnsAreaId / UnsLineId / EquipmentId / TagId). Unblocks the
+  Phase 6.2 finer-grained ACL (per-Equipment, per-UnsLine grants). Add ACL integration
+  test per task #195 — browse `Equipment/Identification` as unauthorized user,
+  assert `BadUserAccessDenied`.
+
+Task #195 closes on Task B's landing.
+
+## Consequences if we don't decide
+
+- Task #195 stays blocked. The `IdentificationFolderBuilder` exists but is dead code
+  reachable only from its unit tests.
+- `NodeScopeResolver` stays at cluster-level scope. Per-Equipment / per-UnsLine ACL
+  grants work at the Admin UI authoring layer + the data-plane evaluator, but the
+  runtime scope resolution never populates anything below `ClusterId + TagId` — so
+  finer grants are effectively cluster-wide at dispatch. Phase 6.2's rollout plan calls
+  this out as a rollout limitation; it's not a correctness bug but it's a feature gap.
+- Equipment metadata (the 9 OPC 40010 fields, the 5 identifiers) ships in the Config DB
+  + the Admin UI editor but never surfaces on the OPC UA endpoint. External consumers
+  (ERP, SAP PM) can't resolve equipment via OPC UA properties as decision #121 promises.
+
+## Next step
+
+Accept this ADR + spawn Task A + Task B.
+
+If the recommendation is rejected, the alternative options (B / C / D) are ranked by
+implementation cost in the Trade-offs sections above. My strong preference is A + defer D.

+| High 1 | MxAccess Read subscription-leak on cancellation | One-shot read now wraps subscribe → first `OnDataChange` → unsubscribe in try/finally. Per-tag callback always detached. If the read installed the underlying subscription (prior `_addressToHandle` key was absent) it tears it down on the way out — no leaked probe item handles on caller cancel or timeout. |
+| High 2 | No MXAccess reconnect loop, only supervisor-driven recycle | `MxAccessClient` gains `MxAccessClientOptions { AutoReconnect, MonitorInterval=5s, StaleThreshold=60s }` + a background `MonitorLoopAsync` started on first `ConnectAsync`. Checks `_lastObservedActivityUtc` each interval (bumped by every `OnDataChange` callback); if stale, probes the proxy with a no-op COM `AddItem("$Heartbeat")` on the StaPump; on probe failure does reconnect-with-replay — Unregister (best-effort), Register, snapshot `_addressToHandle.Keys`, clear, re-AddItem every previously-active subscription. `ConnectionStateChanged` fires on the false→true transition; `ReconnectCount` bumps. |
+| Medium 3 | `SubscribeAsync` doesn't push `OnDataChange` frames yet | `IGalaxyBackend` gains `OnDataChange` / `OnAlarmEvent` / `OnHostStatusChanged` events. New `IFrameHandler.AttachConnection(FrameWriter)` called per-connection by `PipeServer` after Hello. `GalaxyFrameHandler.ConnectionSink` subscribes the events for the connection lifetime, fire-and-forgets pushes as `MessageKind.OnDataChangeNotification` / `AlarmEvent` / `RuntimeStatusChange` frames through the writer, swallows `ObjectDisposedException` for dispose race, unsubscribes on Dispose. `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.SubscribeAsync` wires `OnTagValueChanged` that fans values out per-tag to every subscription listening (one MXAccess subscription, multi-fan-out via `_refToSubs` reverse map). `UnsubscribeAsync` only calls `mx.UnsubscribeAsync` when the last sub for a tag drops. |
+| Medium 4 | `WriteValuesAsync` doesn't await `OnWriteComplete` | `MxAccessClient.WriteAsync` rewritten to return `Task<bool>` via the v1-style TCS-keyed-by-item-handle pattern in `_pendingWrites`. TCS added before the `Write` call, awaited with configurable timeout (default 5s), removed in finally. Returns true only when `OnWriteComplete` reported success. `MxAccessGalaxyBackend.WriteValuesAsync` reports per-tag `Bad_InternalError` ("MXAccess runtime reported write failure") when the bool returns false. |
+
+## Cross-cutting deferrals — resolved
+
+| Deferral | Resolution |
+|----------|------------|
+| Deletion of v1 archive | Phase 3 PR 18 deleted the source trees; PR 61 closed `V1_ARCHIVE_STATUS.md` |
+| Wonderware Historian SDK plugin port | `Driver.Galaxy.Host/Backend/Historian/` ports the 10 source files (`HistorianDataSource`, `HistorianClusterEndpointPicker`, `HistorianHealthSnapshot`, etc.). `MxAccessGalaxyBackend` implements `HistoryReadAsync` / `HistoryReadProcessedAsync` / `HistoryReadAtTimeAsync` / `HistoryReadEventsAsync`. `GalaxyProxyDriver.MapAggregateToColumn` translates `HistoryAggregateType` → `AnalogSummaryQuery` column names on the proxy side so Host stays OPC-UA-free. |
+| MxAccess subscription push frames | Closed under Medium 3 above |
+| Wonderware Historian-backed HistoryRead | Closed under the Historian port row |
+| Alarm subsystem wire-up | PR 14. `GalaxyAlarmTracker` in `Backend/Alarms/` advises the four Galaxy alarm-state attributes per `IsAlarm=true` attribute (`.InAlarm`, `.Priority`, `.DescAttrName`, `.Acked`), runs the OPC UA Part 9 lifecycle simplified for the Galaxy AlarmExtension model, raises `AlarmTransition` events (Active / Acknowledged / Inactive) forwarded through the existing `OnAlarmEvent` IPC frame. `AcknowledgeAlarmAsync` writes operator comment to `<tag>.AckMsg` through the PR 4 TCS-by-handle write path. |
+| Reconnect-without-recycle in MxAccessClient | Closed under High 2 (reconnect-with-replay loop is the "without-recycle" path — supervisor recycle remains the fallback). |
+| Real downstream-consumer cutover | Out of scope for this repo; phased Year-3 rollout per `docs/v2/plan.md` §Rollout — not a Phase 2 deliverable. |

+**Observed flake**: one Configuration.Tests failure on the first full-solution run turned
+green on re-run. Not a stable regression; logged as a known flake until it reproduces.
+
+**Skips are all infra-gated**:
+- Modbus 21 skips — oitc/modbus-server Docker container not started.
+- AbCip 1 skip — libplctag `ab_server` binary not on PATH.
+- Galaxy.Proxy 7 skips — live Galaxy stack not reachable from the current shell (admin-token pipe ACL).
+
+## What "Phase 2 closed" means for Phase 3 and later
+
+- Galaxy runs as first-class v2 driver, same capability-interface contract as Modbus / S7 /
+  AbCip / AbLegacy / TwinCAT / FOCAS / OpcUaClient.
+- No v1 code path remains. Anything invoking the `ZB.MOM.WW.LmxOpcUa.*` namespaces is
+  historical; any future work routes through `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy` + the named-pipe IPC.
+- The 2026-04-13 stability findings live on as named regression tests under
+  `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.E2E/StabilityFindingsRegressionTests.cs` — a
+  future refactor that reintroduces any of those four defects trips the test.
+- Aveva Historian integration is wired end-to-end; new driver families don't need
+  Historian-specific plumbing in the IPC — they just implement `IHistoryProvider`.
+
+## Outstanding — not Phase 2 blockers
+
+- **AB CIP whole-UDT read optimization** (task #194) — niche performance win for large UDT
+  reads; current per-member fan-out works correctly.
+- **AB CIP `IAlarmSource` via tag-projected ALMA/ALMD** (task #177) — AB CIP driver doesn't
+  currently expose alarms; feature-flagged follow-up.
+- **IdentificationFolderBuilder wire-in** (task #195) — blocked on Equipment node walker.
+- **UnsTab Playwright E2E** (task #199) — infra setup PR.
+
+None of these are Phase 2 scope; all are tracked independently.
