docs: reconcile alarms-over-gateway banner with audited source

The 'All 19 PRs merged' banner contradicted the warning paragraph in
the same block and overstated reality against the source tree. Audit
of the lmxopcua + mxaccessgw repos on 2026-05-01 found:

- 17 of 19 PRs merged. Four merged PRs ship inert scaffolds:
  - A.2: MxAccessAlarmEventSink.Attach is a no-op.
  - A.3 / A.4: NotWiredAlarmRpcDispatcher returns OK-with-diagnostic
    for AcknowledgeAlarm and an empty stream for QueryActiveAlarms.
  - C.1: SdkAlarmHistorianWriteBackend.WriteBatchAsync returns
    RetryPlease for every event with a placeholder log.
- The architectural decision the warning paragraph asks the operator
  to make was already resolved 2026-04-30. MxAccessAlarmEventSink.cs
  in mxaccessgw records that aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient is x86
  net48 (same bitness as the worker), and pins the discovered API
  surface (RegisterConsumer / Subscribe / GetStatistics /
  GetAlarmExtendedRec / AlarmAckByGUID). What remains is wiring PRs
  in the worker, not architectural choice.
- D.1 smoke artifact (docs/plans/artifacts/d1-rollout-YYYY-MM-DD.md)
  not yet captured; directory does not exist.

Banner rewritten to split functional-end-to-end vs merged-but-inert
PRs explicitly so future readers don't have to reconcile the doc
against the source tree themselves.

 # Plan — alarms over the mxaccessgw gateway
 
-> ✅ **All 19 PRs merged 2026-04-30 — historical record.**
-> A.1 / A.2 / A.3 / A.4 (gateway proto + handlers + worker scaffold),
-> B.1 / B.2 / B.3 / B.4 / B.5 (driver, server, docs), C.1 / C.2
-> (sidecar alarm historian writer), D.1 (deploy script),
-> E.1 / E.2 / E.3 / E.4 / E.5 / E.6 / E.7 (5 client SDKs + lmxopcua
-> client surface). Public contract surface is live; client SDKs ship
-> the new RPCs; the sub-attribute fallback path keeps Galaxy alarms
-> functional today.
+> **17 of 19 PRs merged. Public contract surface and the lmxopcua /
+> sidecar consumers are live; four merged PRs ship as scaffolds
+> pending worker-side wiring.** Status reconciled against the source

-> ⚠️ **Worker-side native alarm subscription blocked on a dev-rig
-> finding (2026-04-30):** the MXAccess COM Toolkit at
-> `C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\ArchestrA.MXAccess.dll`
-> exposes no alarm-event family — only `OnDataChange`,
-> `OnWriteComplete`, `OperationComplete`, `OnBufferedDataChange`.
-> AVEVA's `aaAlarmManagedClient` / `ArchestrAAlarmsAndEvents.SDK`
-> assemblies are x64-only and incompatible with the worker's x86
-> bitness. **Operator decision needed before
-> `MX_EVENT_FAMILY_ON_ALARM_TRANSITION` carries any events:** either
-> accept the value-driven sub-attribute path as the production
-> architecture (operator-comment fidelity is the only v1 regression)
-> or add an x64 alarm-helper sub-process alongside the worker. See
-> `src/MxGateway.Worker/MxAccess/MxAccessAlarmEventSink.cs` in the
-> mxaccessgw repo for the architectural notes. Live
-> `aahClientManaged` alarm-event write call site
-> (`SdkAlarmHistorianWriteBackend` placeholder from PR C.1) and the
-> D.1 smoke artifact ship once those decisions resolve. The
-> remainder of this document is preserved as the design record.
+> **Functional end-to-end today:** B.1 / B.2 / B.3 / B.4 / B.5
+> (EventPump branch, GalaxyDriver `IAlarmSource`, DriverNodeManager
+> ack routing, `WonderwareHistorianClient : IAlarmHistorianWriter`,
+> docs sweep), C.2 (sidecar wires the alarm-write slot), D.1 script
+> (`scripts/install/Refresh-Services.ps1`), E.1 – E.7 (proto regen +
+> .NET / Python / Go / Java / Rust SDK alarm methods + lmxopcua client
+> surface). The value-driven sub-attribute fallback path keeps Galaxy
+> alarms functional today.

+> **Merged-but-inert scaffolds (gated on worker AlarmClient wiring):**
+>
+> - **A.2** — `MxAccessAlarmEventSink.Attach` is a no-op; the COM-side
+>   `aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient` registration / subscription has
+>   not landed yet, so the gateway's
+>   `MX_EVENT_FAMILY_ON_ALARM_TRANSITION` is reserved on the wire but
+>   never emitted.
+> - **A.3** AcknowledgeAlarm + **A.4** QueryActiveAlarms — public RPC
+>   handlers in `MxAccessGatewayService.cs` route through
+>   `NotWiredAlarmRpcDispatcher` (Ack returns OK with a `worker dispatch
+>   pending dev-rig wiring` diagnostic; Query yields an empty stream).
+> - **C.1** sidecar — `AahClientManagedAlarmEventWriter` exists and the
+>   IPC slot is wired, but the production backend
+>   `SdkAlarmHistorianWriteBackend.WriteBatchAsync` returns
+>   `RetryPlease` for every event with a placeholder log — the live
+>   `aahClientManaged` SDK call site is pinned during the D.1 dev-rig
+>   smoke. Effect: scripted-alarm transitions queue locally in
+>   `SqliteStoreAndForwardSink` and the drain worker repeatedly retries.
+>
+> **Architectural decision RESOLVED 2026-04-30** (recorded in the
+> mxaccessgw repo at `src/MxGateway.Worker/MxAccess/MxAccessAlarmEventSink.cs`
+> xmldoc): the worker hosts `aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient` (x86
+> .NET Framework 4.8 — same bitness as the existing MxAccess COM
+> consumer) alongside the COM consumer, sharing the worker's STA +
+> WM_APP message pump. The discovered API surface
+> (`RegisterConsumer`, `Subscribe`, `GetStatistics`,
+> `GetAlarmExtendedRec`, `AlarmAckByGUID`) is documented in that
+> file's xmldoc. The earlier concern that AVEVA's alarm SDK was
+> x64-only proved wrong against the deployed assemblies. What remains
+> is wiring PRs in the worker — session-startup `RegisterConsumer` +
+> `Subscribe`, an STA WM_APP handler that routes
+> alarm-changed messages into `EnqueueTransition`, and the worker
+> command path that calls `AlarmAckByGUID` from a gateway
+> `AcknowledgeAlarm` RPC.
+>
+> **D.1 smoke artifact**
+> (`docs/plans/artifacts/d1-rollout-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, called for in the
+> Track D test plan below) not yet captured — gated on the worker
+> AlarmClient wiring being live on the dev rig so the smoke can
+> exercise the alarm scenarios end-to-end and pin the
+> `SdkAlarmHistorianWriteBackend` SDK entry point.
+>
+> The remainder of this document is preserved as the design record.
