Phase 6.1 Stream B.3/B.4/B.5 — MemoryRecycle + ScheduledRecycleScheduler + demand-aware WedgeDetector

Closes out Stream B per docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-1-resilience-and-observability.md.

Core.Abstractions:
- IDriverSupervisor — process-level supervisor contract a Tier C driver's
  out-of-process topology provides (Galaxy Proxy/Supervisor implements this in
  a follow-up Driver.Galaxy wiring PR). Concerns: DriverInstanceId + RecycleAsync.
  Tier A/B drivers don't implement this; Stream B code asserts tier == C before
  ever calling it.

Core.Stability:
- MemoryRecycle — companion to MemoryTracking. On HardBreach, invokes the
  supervisor IFF tier == C AND a supervisor is wired. Tier A/B HardBreach logs
  a promotion-to-Tier-C recommendation and returns false. Soft/None/Warming
  never triggers a recycle at any tier.
- ScheduledRecycleScheduler — Tier C opt-in periodic recycler per decision #67.
  Ctor throws for Tier A/B (structural guard — scheduled recycle on an
  in-process driver would kill every OPC UA session and every co-hosted
  driver). TickAsync(now) advances the schedule by one interval per fire;
  RequestRecycleNowAsync drives an ad-hoc recycle without shifting the cron.
- WedgeDetector — demand-aware per decision #147. Classify(state, demand, now)
  returns:
    * NotApplicable when driver state != Healthy
    * Idle when Healthy + no pending work (bulkhead=0 && monitored=0 && historic=0)
    * Healthy when Healthy + pending work + progress within threshold
    * Faulted when Healthy + pending work + no progress within threshold
  Threshold clamps to min 60 s. DemandSignal.HasPendingWork ORs the three counters.
  The three false-wedge cases the plan calls out all stay Healthy: idle
  subscription-only, slow historian backfill making progress, write-only burst
  with drained bulkhead.

Tests (22 new, all pass):
- MemoryRecycleTests (7): Tier C hard-breach requests recycle; Tier A/B
  hard-breach never requests; Tier C without supervisor no-ops; soft-breach
  at every tier never requests; None/Warming never request.
- ScheduledRecycleSchedulerTests (6): ctor throws for A/B; zero/negative
  interval throws; tick before due no-ops; tick at/after due fires once and
  advances; RequestRecycleNow fires immediately without shifting schedule;
  multiple fires across ticks advance one interval each.
- WedgeDetectorTests (9): threshold clamp to 60 s; unhealthy driver always
  NotApplicable; idle subscription stays Idle; pending+fresh progress stays
  Healthy; pending+stale progress is Faulted; MonitoredItems active but no
  publish is Faulted; MonitoredItems active with fresh publish stays Healthy;
  historian backfill with fresh progress stays Healthy; write-only burst with
  empty bulkhead is Idle; HasPendingWork theory for any non-zero counter.

Full solution dotnet test: 989 passing (baseline 906, +83 for Phase 6.1 so far).
Pre-existing Client.CLI Subscribe flake unchanged.

Stream B complete. Next up: Stream C (health endpoints + structured logging).

+### Active Directory configuration
+
+Production deployments typically point at Active Directory instead of GLAuth. Only four properties differ from the dev defaults: `Server`, `Port`, `UserNameAttribute`, and `ServiceAccountDn`. The same `GroupToRole` mechanism works — map your AD security groups to OPC UA roles.
+

+      "Enabled": true,

+
+Notes:
+
+- `UserNameAttribute: "sAMAccountName"` is the critical AD override — the default `uid` is not populated on AD user entries, so the user-DN lookup returns no results without it. Use `userPrincipalName` instead if operators log in with `user@corp.example.com` form.
+- `Port: 636` + `UseTls: true` is required under AD's LDAP-signing enforcement. AD increasingly rejects plain-LDAP bind; set `AllowInsecureLdap: false` to refuse fallback.
+- `ServiceAccountDn` should name a dedicated read-only service principal — not a privileged admin. The account needs read access to user and group entries in the search base.
+- `memberOf` values come back as full DNs like `CN=OPCUA-Operators,OU=OPC UA Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=corp,DC=example,DC=com`. The authenticator strips the leading `CN=` RDN value so operators configure `GroupToRole` with readable group common-names.
+- Nested group membership is **not** expanded — assign users directly to the role-mapped groups, or pre-flatten membership in AD. `LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN` / `tokenGroups` expansion is an authenticator enhancement, not a config change.
+
 ### Security Considerations
 
 - LDAP credentials are transmitted in plaintext over the OPC UA channel unless transport security is enabled. Use `Basic256Sha256-SignAndEncrypt` for production deployments.

+# AutomationDirect DirectLOGIC DL205 / DL260 — Modbus quirks
+
+AutomationDirect's DirectLOGIC DL205 family (D2-250-1, D2-260, D2-262, D2-262M) and
+its larger DL260 sibling speak Modbus TCP (via the H2-ECOM100 / H2-EBC100 Ethernet
+coprocessors, and the DL260's built-in Ethernet port) and Modbus RTU (via the CPU
+serial ports in "Modbus" mode). They are mostly spec-compliant, but every one of
+the following categories has at least one trap that a textbook Modbus client gets
+wrong: octal V-memory to decimal Modbus translation, non-IEEE "BCD-looking" default
+numeric encoding, CDAB word order for 32-bit values, ASCII character packing that
+the user flagged as non-standard, and sub-spec maximum-register limits on the
+Ethernet modules. This document catalogues each quirk, cites primary sources, and
+names the ModbusPal integration test we'd write for it (convention from
+`docs/v2/modbus-test-plan.md`: `DL205_<behavior>`).
+
+## Strings
+
+DirectLOGIC does not have a first-class Modbus "string" type; strings live inside
+V-memory as consecutive 16-bit registers, and the CPU's string instructions
+(`PRINTV`, `VPRINT`, `ACON`/`NCON` in ladder) read/write them in a specific layout
+that a naive Modbus client will byte-swap [1][2].
+
+- **Packing**: two ASCII characters per V-memory register (two per holding
+  register). The *first* character of the pair occupies the **low byte** of the
+  register, the *second* character occupies the **high byte** [2]. This is the
+  opposite of the big-endian Modbus convention that Kepware / Ignition / most
+  generic drivers assume by default, so strings come back with every pair of
+  characters swapped (`"Hello"` reads as `"eHll o\0"`).
+- **Termination**: null-terminated (`0x00` in the character byte). There is no
+  length prefix. Writes must pad the final register's unused byte with `0x00`.
+- **Byte order within the register**: little-endian for character data, even
+  though the same CPU stores **numeric** V-memory values big-endian on the wire.
+  This mixed-endianness is the single most common reason DL-series strings look
+  corrupted in a generic HMI. Kepware's DirectLogic driver exposes a per-tag
+  "String Byte Order = Low/High" toggle specifically for this [3].
+- **K-memory / KSTR**: DirectLOGIC does **not** expose a dedicated `KSTR` string
+  address space — K-memory on these CPUs is scratch bit/word memory, not a string
+  pool. Strings live wherever the ladder program allocates them in V-memory
+  (typically user V2000-V7777 octal on DL260, V2000-V3777 on DL205 D2-260) [2].
+- **Maximum length**: bounded only by the V-memory region assigned. The `VPRINT`
+  instruction allows up to 128 characters (64 registers) per call [2]; larger
+  strings require multiple reads.
+- **V-memory interaction**: an "address a string at V2000 of length 20" tag is
+  really "read 10 consecutive holding registers starting at the Modbus address
+  that V2000 translates to (see next section), unpack each register low-byte
+  then high-byte, stop at the first `0x00`."
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_String_low_byte_first_within_register`,
+`DL205_String_null_terminator_stops_read`,
+`DL205_String_write_pads_final_byte_with_zero`.
+
+## V-Memory Addressing
+
+DirectLOGIC addresses are **octal**; Modbus addresses are **decimal**. The CPU's
+internal Modbus server performs the translation, but the formulas differ per
+CPU family and are 1-based in the "Modicon 4xxxx" form vs 0-based on the wire
+[4][5].
+
+Canonical DL260 / DL250-1 mapping (from the D2-USER-M appendix and the H2-ECOM
+manual) [4][5]:
+
+```
+V-memory (octal)        Modicon 4xxxx (1-based)   Modbus PDU addr (0-based)
+V0        (user)        40001                     0x0000
+V1                      40002                     0x0001
+V2000     (user)        41025                     0x0400
+V7777     (user)        44096                     0x0FFF
+V40400    (system)      48449                     0x2100
+V41077                  ~8848                     (read-only status)
+```
+
+Formula: `Modbus_0based = octal_to_decimal(Vaddr)`. So `V2000` octal = `1024`
+decimal = Modbus PDU address `0x0400`. The "4xxxx" Modicon view just adds 1 and
+prefixes the register bank digit.
+
+- **V40400 is the Modbus starting offset for system registers on the DL260**;
+  its 0-based PDU address is `0x2100` (decimal 8448), not 0. The widespread
+  "V40400 = register 0" shorthand is wrong on modern firmware — that was true
+  on the older DL05/DL06 when the ECOM module was configured in "relative"
+  addressing mode. On the H2-ECOM100 factory default ("absolute" mode), V40400
+  maps to 0x2100 [5].
+- **DL205 (D2-260) vs DL260 differences**:
+    - DL205 D2-260 user V-memory: V1400-V7377 and V10000-V17777 octal.
+    - DL260 user V-memory: V1400-V7377, V10000-V35777, and V40000-V77777 octal
+      (much larger) [4].
+    - DL205 D2-262 / D2-262M adds the same extended V-memory as DL260 but
+      retains the DL205 I/O base form factor.
+    - Neither DL205 sub-model changes the *formula* — only the valid range.
+- **Bit-in-V-memory (C, X, Y relays)**: control relays `C0`-`C1777` octal live
+  in V40600-V40677 (DL260) as packed bits; the Modbus server exposes them *both*
+  as holding-register bits (read the whole word and mask) *and* as Modbus coils
+  via FC01/FC05 at coil addresses 3072-4095 (0-based) [5]. `X` inputs map to
+  Modbus discrete inputs starting at FC02 address 0; `Y` outputs map to Modbus
+  coils starting at FC01/FC05 address 2048 (0-based) on the DL260.
+- **Off-by-one gotcha**: the AutomationDirect manuals use the 1-based 4xxxx
+  form. Kepware, libmodbus, pymodbus, and the .NET stack all take the 0-based
+  PDU form. When the manual says "V2000 = 41025" you send `0x0400`, not
+  `0x0401`.
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_Vmem_V2000_maps_to_PDU_0x0400`,
+`DL260_Vmem_V40400_maps_to_PDU_0x2100`,
+`DL260_Crelay_C0_maps_to_coil_3072`.
+
+## Word Order (Int32 / UInt32 / Float32)
+
+DirectLOGIC CPUs store 32-bit values across **two consecutive V-memory words,
+low word first** — i.e., `CDAB` when viewed as a Modbus register pair [1][3].
+Within each word, bytes are big-endian (high byte of the word in the high byte
+of the Modbus register), so the full wire layout for a 32-bit value `0xAABBCCDD`
+is:
+
+```
+Register N   : 0xCC 0xDD   (low word, big-endian bytes)
+Register N+1 : 0xAA 0xBB   (high word, big-endian bytes)
+```
+
+- This is the same "little-endian word / big-endian byte" layout Kepware calls
+  `Double Word Swapped` and Ignition calls `CDAB` [3][6].
+- **DL205 and DL260 agree** — the convention is a CPU-level choice, not a
+  module choice. The H2-ECOM100 and H2-EBC100 do **not** re-swap; they're pure
+  Modbus-TCP-to-backplane bridges [5]. The DL260 built-in Ethernet port
+  behaves identically.
+- **Float32**: IEEE 754 single-precision, but only when the ladder explicitly
+  uses the `R` (real) data type. DirectLOGIC's default numeric storage is
+  **BCD** — `V2000 = 1234` in ladder stores `0x1234` on the wire, not `0x04D2`.
+  A Modbus client reading what the operator sees as "1234" gets back a raw
+  register value of `0x1234` and must BCD-decode it. Float32 values are only
+  IEEE 754 if the ladder programmer used `LDR`/`OUTR` instructions [1].
+- **Operator-reported**: on very old D2-240 firmware (predecessor, not in our
+  target set) the word order was `ABCD`, but every DL205/DL260 firmware
+  released since 2004 is `CDAB` [3]. _Unconfirmed_ whether any field-deployed
+  DL205 still runs pre-2004 firmware.
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_Int32_word_order_is_CDAB`,
+`DL205_Float32_IEEE754_roundtrip_when_ladder_uses_R_type`,
+`DL205_BCD_register_decodes_as_hex_nibbles`.
+
+## Function Code Support
+
+The Hx-ECOM / Hx-EBC modules and the DL260 built-in Ethernet port implement the
+following Modbus function codes [5][7]:
+
+| FC | Name                        | Supported | Max qty / request |
+|----|-----------------------------|-----------|-------------------|
+| 01 | Read Coils                  | Yes       | 2000 bits         |
+| 02 | Read Discrete Inputs        | Yes       | 2000 bits         |
+| 03 | Read Holding Registers      | Yes       | **128** (not 125) |
+| 04 | Read Input Registers        | Yes       | 128               |
+| 05 | Write Single Coil           | Yes       | 1                 |
+| 06 | Write Single Register       | Yes       | 1                 |
+| 15 | Write Multiple Coils        | Yes       | 800 bits          |
+| 16 | Write Multiple Registers    | Yes       | **100**           |
+| 07 | Read Exception Status       | Yes (RTU) | —                 |
+| 17 | Report Server ID            | No        | —                 |
+
+- **FC03/FC04 limit is 128**, which is above the Modbus spec's 125. Requesting
+  129+ returns exception code `03` (Illegal Data Value) [5].
+- **FC16 limit is 100**, below the spec's 123. This is the most common source of
+  "works in test, fails in bulk-write production" bugs — our driver should cap
+  at 100 when the device profile is DL205/DL260.
+- **No custom function codes** are exposed on the Modbus port. AutomationDirect's
+  native "K-sequence" protocol runs on the serial port when the CPU is set to
+  `K-sequence` mode, *not* `Modbus` mode, and over TCP only via the H2-EBC100's
+  proprietary Ethernet/IP-like protocol — not Modbus [7].
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_FC03_129_registers_returns_IllegalDataValue`,
+`DL205_FC16_101_registers_returns_IllegalDataValue`,
+`DL205_FC17_ReportServerId_returns_IllegalFunction`.
+
+## Coils and Discrete Inputs
+
+DL260 mapping (0-based Modbus addresses) [5]:
+
+| DL memory | Octal range     | Modbus table      | Modbus addr (0-based) |
+|-----------|-----------------|-------------------|-----------------------|
+| X inputs  | X0-X777         | Discrete Input    | 0 - 511               |
+| Y outputs | Y0-Y777         | Coil              | 2048 - 2559           |
+| C relays  | C0-C1777        | Coil              | 3072 - 4095           |
+| SP specials | SP0-SP777     | Discrete Input    | 1024 - 1535 (RO)      |
+
+- **C0 → coil address 3072 (0-based) = 13073 (1-based Modicon)**. Y0 → coil
+  2048 = 12049. These offsets are wired into the CPU and cannot be remapped.
+- **Reading a non-populated X input** (no physical module in that slot) returns
+  **zero**, not an exception. The CPU sizes the discrete-input table to the
+  configured I/O, not the installed hardware. Confirmed in the DL260 user
+  manual's I/O configuration chapter [4].
+- **Writing Y outputs on an output point that's forced in ladder**: the CPU
+  accepts the write and silently ignores it (the force wins). No exception is
+  returned. _Operator-reported_, matches Kepware driver release notes [3].
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_C0_maps_to_coil_3072`,
+`DL205_Y0_maps_to_coil_2048`,
+`DL205_Xinput_unpopulated_reads_as_zero`.
+
+## Register Zero
+
+The DL260's H2-ECOM100 **accepts FC03 at register 0** and returns the contents
+of `V0`. This contradicts a widespread internet claim that "DirectLOGIC rejects
+register 0" — that rumour stems from older DL05/DL06 CPUs in *relative*
+addressing mode, where V40400 was mapped to register 0 and registers below
+40400 were invalid [5][3]. On DL205/DL260 with the ECOM module in its factory
+*absolute* mode, register 0 is valid user V-memory.
+
+- Our driver's `ModbusProbeOptions.ProbeAddress` default of 0 is therefore
+  **safe** for DL205/DL260; operators don't need to override it.
+- If the module is reconfigured to "relative" addressing (a historical
+  compatibility mode), register 0 then maps to V40400 and is still valid but
+  means something different. The probe will still succeed.
+
+Test name: `DL205_FC03_register_0_returns_V0_contents`.
+
+## Exception Codes
+
+DL205/DL260 returns only the standard Modbus exception codes [5]:
+
+| Code | Name                   | When                                            |
+|------|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
+| 01   | Illegal Function       | FC not in supported list (e.g., FC17)           |
+| 02   | Illegal Data Address   | Register outside mapped V-memory / coil range   |
+| 03   | Illegal Data Value     | Quantity > 128 (FC03/04), > 100 (FC16), > 2000 (FC01/02), > 800 (FC15) |
+| 04   | Server Failure         | CPU in PROGRAM mode during a protected write    |
+
+- **No proprietary exception codes** (06/07/0A/0B are not used).
+- **Write to a write-protected bit** (CPU password-locked or bit in a force
+  list): returns `02` (Illegal Data Address) on newer firmware, `04` on older
+  firmware [3]. _Unconfirmed_ which firmware revision the transition happened
+  at; treat both as "not writable" in the driver's status-code mapping.
+- **Read of a write-only register**: there are no write-only registers in the
+  DL-series Modbus map. Every writable register is also readable.
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_FC03_unmapped_register_returns_IllegalDataAddress`,
+`DL205_FC06_in_ProgramMode_returns_ServerFailure`.
+
+## Behavioral Oddities
+
+- **Transaction ID echo**: the H2-ECOM100 and DL260 built-in port reliably
+  echo the MBAP TxId on every response, across firmware revisions from 2010+.
+  The rumour that "DL260 drops TxId under load" appears on the AutomationDirect
+  support forum but is _unconfirmed_ and has not reproduced on our bench; it
+  may be a user-software issue rather than firmware [8]. Our driver's
+  single-flight + TxId-match guard handles it either way.
+- **Concurrency**: the ECOM serializes requests internally. Opening multiple
+  TCP sockets from the same client does not parallelize — the CPU scans the
+  Ethernet mailbox once per PLC scan (typically 2-10 ms) and processes one
+  request per scan [5]. High-frequency polling from multiple clients
+  multiplies scan overhead linearly; keep poll rates conservative.
+- **Partial-frame disconnect recovery**: the ECOM's TCP stack closes the
+  socket on any malformed MBAP header or any frame that exceeds the declared
+  PDU length. It does not resynchronize mid-stream. The driver must detect
+  the half-close, reconnect, and replay the last request [5].
+- **Keepalive**: the ECOM does **not** send TCP keepalives. An idle socket
+  stays open on the PLC side indefinitely, but intermediate NAT/firewall
+  devices often drop it after 2-5 minutes. Driver-side keepalive or
+  periodic-probe is required for reliable long-lived subscriptions.
+- **Maximum concurrent TCP clients**: H2-ECOM100 accepts up to **4 simultaneous
+  TCP connections**; the 5th is refused at TCP accept [5]. This matters when
+  an HMI + historian + engineering workstation + our OPC UA gateway all want
+  to talk to the same PLC.
+
+Test names:
+`DL205_TxId_preserved_across_burst_of_50_requests`,
+`DL205_5th_TCP_connection_refused`,
+`DL205_socket_closes_on_malformed_MBAP`.

+# Phase 6.1 — Resilience & Observability Runtime
+
+> **Status**: DRAFT — implementation plan for a cross-cutting phase that was never formalised. The v2 `plan.md` specifies Polly, Tier A/B/C protections, structured logging, and local-cache fallback by decision; none are wired end-to-end.
+>
+> **Branch**: `v2/phase-6-1-resilience-observability`
+> **Estimated duration**: 3 weeks
+> **Predecessor**: Phase 5 (drivers) — partial; S7 + OPC UA Client shipped, AB/TwinCAT/FOCAS paused
+> **Successor**: Phase 6.2 (Authorization runtime)
+
+## Phase Objective
+
+Land the cross-cutting runtime protections + operability features that `plan.md` + `driver-stability.md` specify by decision but that no driver-phase actually wires. End-state: every driver goes through the same Polly resilience layer, health endpoints render the live driver fleet, structured logs carry per-request correlation IDs, and the config substrate survives a central DB outage via a LiteDB local cache.
+
+Closes these gaps flagged in the 2026-04-19 audit:
+
+1. Polly v8 resilience pipelines wired to every `IDriver` capability (no-op per-driver today; Galaxy has a hand-rolled `CircuitBreaker` only).
+2. Tier A/B/C enforcement at runtime — `driver-stability.md` §2–4 and decisions #63–73 define memory watchdog, bounded queues, scheduled recycle, wedge detection; `MemoryWatchdog` exists only inside `Driver.Galaxy.Host`.
+3. Health endpoints (`/healthz`, `/readyz`) on `OtOpcUa.Server`.
+4. Structured Serilog with per-request correlation IDs (driver instance, OPC UA session, IPC call).
+5. LiteDB local cache + Polly retry + fallback on central-DB outage (decision #36).
+
+## Scope — What Changes
+
+| Concern | Change |
+|---------|--------|
+| `Core` → new `Core.Resilience` sub-namespace | Shared Polly pipeline builder (`DriverResiliencePipelines`). **Pipeline key = `(DriverInstanceId, HostName)`** so one dead PLC behind a multi-device driver doesn't open the breaker for healthy siblings (decision #35 per-device isolation). **Per-capability policy** — Read / HistoryRead / Discover / Probe / Alarm get retries; **Write does NOT** unless `[WriteIdempotent]` on the tag definition (decisions #44-45). |
+| Every capability-interface consumer in the server | Wrap `IReadable.ReadAsync`, `IWritable.WriteAsync`, `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync`, `ISubscribable.SubscribeAsync/UnsubscribeAsync`, `IHostConnectivityProbe` probe loop, `IAlarmSource.SubscribeAlarmsAsync/AcknowledgeAsync`, `IHistoryProvider.ReadRawAsync/ReadProcessedAsync/ReadAtTimeAsync/ReadEventsAsync`. Composition: timeout → (retry when capability supports) → circuit breaker → bulkhead. |
+| `Core.Abstractions` → new `WriteIdempotentAttribute` | Marker on `ModbusTagDefinition` / `S7TagDefinition` / `OpcUaClientDriver` tag rows; opts that tag into auto-retry on Write. Absence = no retry, per spec. |
+| `Core` → new `Core.Stability` sub-namespace — **split** | Two separate subsystems: (a) **`MemoryTracking`** runs all tiers; captures baseline (median of first 5 min `GetMemoryFootprint` samples) + applies the hybrid rule `soft = max(multiplier × baseline, baseline + floor)`; soft breach logs + surfaces to Admin; never kills. (b) **`MemoryRecycle`** (Tier C only — requires out-of-process topology) handles hard-breach recycle via the Proxy-side supervisor. Tier A/B overrun escalates to Tier C promotion ticket, not auto-kill. |
+| `ScheduledRecycleScheduler` | Tier C only per decisions #73-74. Weekly/time-of-day recycle via Proxy supervisor. Tier A/B opt-in recycle lands in a future phase together with a Tier-C-escalation workflow. |
+| `WedgeDetector` | **Demand-aware**: flips a driver to Faulted only when `(hasPendingWork AND noProgressIn > threshold)`. `hasPendingWork` derives from non-zero Polly bulkhead depth OR ≥1 active MonitoredItem OR ≥1 queued historian read. Idle + subscription-only drivers stay Healthy. |
+| `DriverTypeRegistry` | Each driver type registers its `DriverTier` {A, B, C}. Tier C drivers must advertise their out-of-process topology; the registry enforces invariants (Tier C has a `Proxy` + `Host` pair). |
+| `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy/Supervisor/` | **Retains** existing `CircuitBreaker` + `Backoff` — they guard IPC respawn (decision #68), different concern from the per-call Polly layer. Only `HeartbeatMonitor` is referenced downstream (IPC liveness). |
+| `OtOpcUa.Server` → Minimal API endpoints on `http://+:4841` | `/healthz` = process alive + (config DB reachable OR `UsingStaleConfig=true`). `/readyz` = ANDed driver health; state-machine per `DriverState`: `Unknown`/`Initializing` → 503, `Healthy` → 200, `Degraded` → 200 + `{degradedDrivers: [...]}` in body, `Faulted` → 503. JSON body always reports per-instance detail. |
+| Serilog configuration | Centralize enrichers in `OtOpcUa.Server/Observability/LogContextEnricher.cs`. Every capability call runs inside a `LogContext.PushProperty` scope with {DriverInstanceId, DriverType, CapabilityName, CorrelationId (UA RequestHandle or internal GUID)}. Sink config stays rolling-file per CLAUDE.md; JSON sink added alongside plain-text (switchable via `Serilog:WriteJson` appsetting). |
+| `Configuration` project | Add `LiteDbConfigCache` adapter. **Generation-sealed snapshots**: `sp_PublishGeneration` writes `<cache-root>/<cluster>/<generationId>.db` as a read-only sealed file. Reads serve the last-known-sealed generation; mixed-generation reads are impossible. Write path bypasses cache + fails hard on DB outage. Pipeline: timeout (2 s) → retry (3×, jittered) → fallback-to-sealed-snapshot. |
+| `DriverHostStatus` vs. `DriverInstanceResilienceStatus` | New separate entity `DriverInstanceResilienceStatus { DriverInstanceId, HostName, LastCircuitBreakerOpenUtc, ConsecutiveFailures, CurrentBulkheadDepth, LastRecycleUtc, BaselineFootprintBytes }`. `DriverHostStatus` keeps per-host connectivity only; Admin `/hosts` joins both for display. |
+
+## Scope — What Does NOT Change
+
+| Item | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| Driver wire protocols | Resilience is a server-side wrapper; individual drivers don't see Polly. Their existing retry logic (ModbusTcpTransport reconnect, SessionReconnectHandler) stays in place as inner layers. |
+| Config DB schema | LiteDB cache is a read-only mirror; no new central tables except `DriverHostStatus` column additions. |
+| OPC UA wire behavior visible to clients | Health endpoints live on a separate HTTP port (4841 by convention); the OPC UA server on 4840 is unaffected. |
+| The four 2026-04-13 Galaxy stability findings | Already closed in Phase 2. Phase 6.1 *generalises* the pattern, doesn't re-fix Galaxy. |
+| Driver-layer SafeHandle usage | Existing Galaxy `SafeMxAccessHandle` + Modbus `TcpClient` disposal stay — they're driver-internal, not part of the cross-cutting layer. |

+
+## Task Breakdown
+
+### Stream A — Resilience layer (1 week)
+
+1. **A.1** Add `Polly.Core` + `Microsoft.Extensions.Resilience` to `Core`. Build `DriverResiliencePipelineBuilder` — key on `(DriverInstanceId, HostName)`; composes Timeout → (Retry when the capability allows it; skipped for Write unless `[WriteIdempotent]`) → CircuitBreaker → Bulkhead. Per-capability policy map documented in `DriverResilienceOptions.CapabilityPolicies`.
+2. **A.2** `DriverResilienceOptions` record bound from `DriverInstance.ResilienceConfig` JSON column (new nullable). **Per-tier × per-capability** defaults: Tier A (OpcUaClient, S7) Read 3 retries/2 s/5-failure-breaker, Write 0 retries/2 s/5-failure-breaker; Tier B (Modbus) Read 3/4 s/5, Write 0/4 s/5; Tier C (Galaxy) Read 1 retry/10 s/no-kill, Write 0/10 s/no-kill. Idempotent writes can opt into Read-shaped retry via the attribute.
+3. **A.3** `CapabilityInvoker<TCapability, TResult>` wraps every method on the capability interfaces (`IReadable.ReadAsync`, `IWritable.WriteAsync`, `ITagDiscovery.DiscoverAsync`, `ISubscribable.SubscribeAsync/UnsubscribeAsync`, `IHostConnectivityProbe` probe loop, `IAlarmSource.SubscribeAlarmsAsync/AcknowledgeAsync`, `IHistoryProvider.ReadRawAsync/ReadProcessedAsync/ReadAtTimeAsync/ReadEventsAsync`). Existing server-side dispatch routes through it.
+4. **A.4** **Retain** `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy/Supervisor/CircuitBreaker.cs` + `Backoff.cs` — they guard IPC process respawn (decision #68), orthogonal to the per-call Polly layer. Only `HeartbeatMonitor` is consumed outside the supervisor.
+5. **A.5** Unit tests: per-policy, per-composition. Negative integration tests: (a) Modbus FlakeyTransport fails 5× on Read, succeeds 6th — invoker surfaces success; (b) Modbus FlakeyTransport fails 1× on Write with `[WriteIdempotent]=false` — invoker surfaces failure without retry (no duplicate pulse); (c) Modbus FlakeyTransport fails 1× on Write with `[WriteIdempotent]=true` — invoker retries. Bench: no-op overhead < 1%.
+6. **A.6** `WriteIdempotentAttribute` in `Core.Abstractions`. Modbus/S7/OpcUaClient tag-definition records pick it up; invoker reads via reflection once at driver init.
+
+### Stream B — Tier A/B/C stability runtime — split into MemoryTracking + MemoryRecycle (1 week)
+
+1. **B.1** `Core.Abstractions` → `DriverTier` enum {A, B, C}. Extend `DriverTypeRegistry` to require `DriverTier` at registration. Existing driver types stamped (Galaxy = C, Modbus = B, S7 = B, OpcUaClient = A).
+2. **B.2** **`MemoryTracking`** (all tiers) lifted from `Driver.Galaxy.Host/MemoryWatchdog.cs`. Captures `BaselineFootprintBytes` as the median of first 5 min of `IDriver.GetMemoryFootprint()` samples post-`InitializeAsync`. Applies **decision #70 hybrid formula**: `soft = max(multiplier × baseline, baseline + floor)`; Tier A multiplier=3, floor=50 MB; Tier B multiplier=3, floor=100 MB; Tier C multiplier=2, floor=500 MB. Soft breach → log + `DriverInstanceResilienceStatus.CurrentFootprint` tick; never kills. Hard = 2 × soft.
+3. **B.3** **`MemoryRecycle`** (Tier C only per decisions #73-74). Hard-breach on a Tier C driver triggers `ScheduledRecycleScheduler.RequestRecycleNow(driverInstanceId)`; scheduler proxies to `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy/Supervisor/` which restarts the Host process. Tier A/B hard-breach logs a promotion-to-Tier-C recommendation; **never auto-kills** the in-process driver.
+4. **B.4** **`ScheduledRecycleScheduler`** per decision #67: Tier C driver instances opt-in to a weekly recycle at a configured cron. Tier A/B scheduled recycle deferred to a later phase paired with Tier-C escalation.
+5. **B.5** **`WedgeDetector`** demand-aware: `if (state==Healthy && hasPendingWork && noProgressIn > WedgeThreshold) → force ReinitializeAsync`. `hasPendingWork` = (bulkhead depth > 0) OR (active monitored items > 0) OR (queued historian-read count > 0). `WedgeThreshold` default 5 × PublishingInterval, min 60 s. Idle driver stays Healthy.
+6. **B.6** Tests: tracking unit tests drive synthetic allocation against a fake `GetMemoryFootprint`; recycle tests use a mock supervisor; wedge tests include the false-fault cases — idle subscriber, slow historian backfill, write-only burst.
+
+### Stream C — Health endpoints + structured logging (4 days)
+
+1. **C.1** `OtOpcUa.Server/Observability/HealthEndpoints.cs` — Minimal API on a second Kestrel binding (default `http://+:4841`). `/healthz` reports process uptime + config-DB reachability (or cache-warm). `/readyz` enumerates `DriverInstance` rows + reports each driver's `DriverHealth.State`; returns 503 if ANY driver is Faulted. JSON body per `docs/v2/acl-design.md` §"Operator Dashboards" shape.
+2. **C.2** `LogContextEnricher` installed at Serilog config time. Every driver-capability call site wraps its body in `using (LogContext.PushProperty("DriverInstanceId", id)) using (LogContext.PushProperty("CorrelationId", correlationId))`. Correlation IDs: reuse OPC UA `RequestHeader.RequestHandle` when in-flight; otherwise generate `Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N")[..12]`.
+3. **C.3** Add JSON-formatted Serilog sink alongside the existing rolling-file plain-text sink so SIEMs (Splunk, Datadog) can ingest without a regex parser. Sink switchable via `Serilog:WriteJson` appsetting.
+4. **C.4** Integration test: boot server, issue Modbus read, assert log line contains `DriverInstanceId` + `CorrelationId` structured fields.
+
+### Stream D — Config DB LiteDB fallback — generation-sealed snapshots (1 week)
+
+1. **D.1** `LiteDbConfigCache` adapter backed by **sealed generation snapshots**: each successful `sp_PublishGeneration` writes `<cache-root>/<clusterId>/<generationId>.db` as read-only after commit. The adapter maintains a `CurrentSealedGenerationId` pointer updated atomically on successful publish. Mixed-generation reads are **impossible** — every read served from the cache serves one coherent sealed generation.
+2. **D.2** Write-path queries (draft save, publish) bypass the cache entirely and fail hard on DB outage. Read-path queries (DriverInstance enumeration, LdapGroupRoleMapping, cluster + namespace metadata) go through the pipeline: timeout 2 s → retry 3× jittered → fallback to the current sealed snapshot.
+3. **D.3** `UsingStaleConfig` flag flips true when a read fell back to the sealed snapshot; cleared on the next successful DB round-trip. Surfaced on `/healthz` body and Admin `/hosts`.
+4. **D.4** Tests: (a) SQL-container kill mid-operation — read returns sealed snapshot, `UsingStaleConfig=true`, driver stays Healthy; (b) mixed-generation guard — attempt to serve partial generation by corrupting a snapshot file mid-read → adapter fails closed rather than serving mixed data; (c) first-boot-no-snapshot case — adapter refuses to start, driver fails `InitializeAsync` with a clear config-DB-required error.
+
+### Stream E — Admin `/hosts` page refresh (3 days)
+
+1. **E.1** Extend `DriverHostStatus` schema with Stream A resilience columns. Generate EF migration.
+2. **E.2** `Admin/FleetStatusHub` SignalR hub pushes `LastCircuitBreakerOpenUtc` + `CurrentBulkheadDepth` + `LastRecycleUtc` on change.
+3. **E.3** `/hosts` Blazor page renders new columns; red badge if `ConsecutiveFailures > breakerThreshold / 2`.
+
+## Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)
+
+- [ ] **Invoker coverage**: every method on `IReadable` / `IWritable` / `ITagDiscovery` / `ISubscribable` / `IHostConnectivityProbe` / `IAlarmSource` / `IHistoryProvider` in the server dispatch layer routes through `CapabilityInvoker`. Enforce via a Roslyn analyzer (error-level; warning-first is rejected — the compliance check is the gate).
+- [ ] **Write-retry guard**: writes without `[WriteIdempotent]` never get retried. Unit-test the invoker path asserts zero retry attempts.
+- [ ] **Pipeline isolation**: pipeline key is `(DriverInstanceId, HostName)`. Integration test with two Modbus hosts under one instance — failing host A does not open the breaker for host B.
+- [ ] **Tier registry**: every driver type registered in `DriverTypeRegistry` has a non-null `Tier`. Unit test walks the registry + asserts no gaps. Tier C registrations must declare their out-of-process topology.
+- [ ] **MemoryTracking never kills**: soft/hard breach tests on a Tier A/B driver log + surface without terminating the process.
+- [ ] **MemoryRecycle Tier C only**: hard breach on a Tier A driver never invokes the supervisor; on Tier C it does.
+- [ ] **Wedge demand-aware**: test suite includes idle-subscription-only, slow-historian-backfill, and write-only-burst cases — driver stays Healthy.
+- [ ] **Galaxy supervisor preserved**: `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy/Supervisor/CircuitBreaker.cs` + `Backoff.cs` still present + still invoked on Host crash.
+- [ ] **Health state machine**: `/healthz` + `/readyz` respond within 500 ms for every `DriverState`; state-machine table in this doc drives the test matrix.
+- [ ] **Structured log**: CI grep asserts at least one log line per capability call has `"DriverInstanceId"` + `"CorrelationId"` JSON fields.
+- [ ] **Generation-sealed cache**: integration tests cover (a) SQL-kill mid-operation serves last-sealed snapshot; (b) mixed-generation corruption fails closed; (c) first-boot no-snapshot + DB-down → `InitializeAsync` fails with clear error.
+- [ ] No regression in existing test suites — `dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` count equal-or-greater than pre-Phase-6.1 baseline.

+## Adversarial Review — 2026-04-19 (Codex, thread `019da489-e317-7aa1-ab1f-6335e0be2447`)
+
+Plan substantially rewritten before implementation to address these findings. Each entry: severity · verdict · adjustment.
+
+1. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Auto-retry collides with decisions #44/#45 (no auto-write-retry; opt-in via `WriteIdempotent` + CAS). Pipeline now **capability-specific**: Read/HistoryRead/Discover/Probe/Alarm-subscribe all get retries; **Write does not** unless the tag metadata carries `WriteIdempotent=true`. New `WriteIdempotentAttribute` surfaces on `ModbusTagDefinition` / `S7TagDefinition` / etc.
+2. **Crit · ACCEPT** — "One pipeline per driver instance" breaks decision #35's per-device isolation. **Change**: pipeline key is `(DriverInstanceId, HostName)` not just `DriverInstanceId`. One dead PLC behind a multi-device Modbus driver no longer opens the breaker for healthy siblings.
+3. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Memory watchdog + scheduled recycle at Tier A/B breaches decisions #73/#74 (process-kill protections are Tier-C-only). **Change**: Stream B splits into two — `MemoryTracking` (all tiers, soft/hard thresholds log + surface to Admin `/hosts`; never kills) and `MemoryRecycle` (Tier C only, requires out-of-process topology). Tier A/B overrun paths escalate to Tier C via a future PR, not auto-kill.
+4. **High · ACCEPT** — Removing Galaxy's hand-rolled `CircuitBreaker` drops decision #68 host-supervision crash-loop protection. **Change**: keep `Driver.Galaxy.Proxy/Supervisor/CircuitBreaker.cs` + `Backoff.cs` — they guard the IPC *process* re-spawn, not the per-call data path. Data-path Polly is an orthogonal layer.
+5. **High · ACCEPT** — Roslyn analyzer targeting `IDriver` misses the hot paths (`IReadable.ReadAsync`, `IWritable.WriteAsync`, `ISubscribable.SubscribeAsync` etc.). **Change**: analyzer rule now matches every method on the capability interfaces; compliance doc enumerates the full call-site list.
+6. **High · ACCEPT** — `/healthz` + `/readyz` under-specified for degraded-running. **Change**: add a state-matrix sub-section explicitly covering `Unknown` (pre-init: `/readyz` 503), `Initializing` (503), `Healthy` (200), `Degraded` (200 with JSON body flagging the degraded driver; `/readyz` is OR across drivers), `Faulted` (503), plus cached-config-serving (`/healthz` returns 200 + `UsingStaleConfig: true` in JSON body).
+7. **High · ACCEPT** — `WedgeDetector` based on "no successful Read" false-fires on write-only subscriptions + idle systems. **Change**: wedge criteria now `(hasPendingWork AND noProgressIn > threshold)` where `hasPendingWork` comes from the Polly bulkhead depth + active MonitoredItem count. Idle driver stays Healthy.
+8. **High · ACCEPT** — LiteDB cache serving mixed-generation reads breaks publish atomicity. **Change**: cache is snapshot-per-generation. Each published generation writes a sealed snapshot into `<cache-root>/<cluster>/<generationId>.db`; reads serve the last-known-sealed generation and never mix. Central DB outage during a *publish* means that publish fails (write path doesn't use cache); reads continue from the prior sealed snapshot.
+9. **Med · ACCEPT** — `DriverHostStatus` schema conflates per-host connectivity with per-driver-instance resilience counters. **Change**: new `DriverInstanceResilienceStatus` table separate from `DriverHostStatus`. Admin `/hosts` joins both for display.
+10. **Med · ACCEPT** — Compliance says analyzer-error; risks say analyzer-warning. **Change**: phase 6.1 ships at **error** level (this phase is the gate); warning-mode option removed.
+11. **Med · ACCEPT** — Hardcoded per-tier MB bands ignore decision #70's `max(multiplier × baseline, baseline + floor)` formula with observed-baseline capture. **Change**: watchdog captures baseline at post-init plateau (median of first 5 min GetMemoryFootprint samples) + applies the hybrid formula. Tier constants now encode the multiplier + floor, not raw MB.
+12. **Med · ACCEPT** — Tests mostly cover happy path. **Change**: Stream A.5 adds negative tests for duplicate-write-replay-under-timeout; Stream B.5 adds false-wedge-on-idle-subscription + false-wedge-on-slow-historic-backfill; Stream D.4 adds mixed-generation cache test + corrupt-first-boot cache test.

+# Phase 6.2 — Authorization Runtime (ACL + LDAP grants)
+
+> **Status**: DRAFT — the v2 `plan.md` decision #129 + `acl-design.md` specify a 6-level permission-trie evaluator with `NodePermissions` bitmask grants, but no runtime evaluator exists. ACL tables are schematized but unread by the data path.
+>
+> **Branch**: `v2/phase-6-2-authorization-runtime`
+> **Estimated duration**: 2.5 weeks
+> **Predecessor**: Phase 6.1 (Resilience & Observability) — reuses the Polly pipeline for ACL-cache refresh retries
+> **Successor**: Phase 6.3 (Redundancy)
+
+## Phase Objective
+
+Wire ACL enforcement on every OPC UA Read / Write / Subscribe / Call path + LDAP group → admin role grants that the v2 plan specified but never ran. End-state: a user's effective permissions resolve through a per-session permission-trie over the 6-level `Cluster / Namespace / UnsArea / UnsLine / Equipment / Tag` hierarchy, cached per session, invalidated on generation-apply + LDAP group expiry.
+
+Closes these gaps:
+
+1. **Data-path ACL enforcement** — `NodeAcl` table + `NodePermissions` flags shipped; `NodeAclService.cs` present as a CRUD surface; no code consults ACLs at `Read`/`Write` time. OPC UA server answers everything to everyone.
+2. **`LdapGroupRoleMapping` for cluster-scoped admin grants** — decision #105 shipped as the *design*; admin roles are hardcoded (`FleetAdmin` / `ConfigEditor` / `ReadOnly`) with no cluster-scoping and no LDAP-to-grant table. Decision #105 explicitly lifts this from v2.1 into v2.0.
+3. **Explicit Deny pathway** — deferred to v2.1 (decision #129 note). Phase 6.2 ships *grants only*; `Deny` stays out.
+4. **Admin UI ACL grant editor** — `AclsTab.razor` exists but edits the now-unused `NodeAcl` table; needs to wire to the runtime evaluator + the new `LdapGroupRoleMapping` table.
+
+## Scope — What Changes
+
+**Architectural separation** (critical for correctness): `LdapGroupRoleMapping` is **control-plane only** — it maps LDAP groups to Admin UI roles (`FleetAdmin` / `ConfigEditor` / `ReadOnly`) and cluster scopes for Admin access. **It is NOT consulted by the OPC UA data-path evaluator.** The data-path evaluator reads `NodeAcl` rows joined directly against the session's **resolved LDAP group memberships**. The two concerns share zero runtime code path.
+
+| Concern | Change |
+|---------|--------|
+| `Configuration` project | New entity `LdapGroupRoleMapping { Id, LdapGroup, Role, ClusterId? (nullable = system-wide), IsSystemWide, GeneratedAtUtc }`. **Consumed only by Admin UI role routing.** Migration. Admin CRUD. |
+| `Core` → new `Core.Authorization` sub-namespace | `IPermissionEvaluator.Authorize(IEnumerable<Claim> identity, OpcUaOperation op, NodeId nodeId) → AuthorizationDecision`. `op` covers every OPC UA surface: Browse, Read, Write, HistoryRead, HistoryUpdate, CreateMonitoredItems, TransferSubscriptions, Call, Acknowledge, Confirm, Shelve. Result is tri-state (internal model distinguishes `Allow` / `NotGranted` / `Denied` + carries matched-grant provenance). Phase 6.2 only produces `Allow` + `NotGranted`; v2.1 Deny lands without API break. |
+| `PermissionTrieBuilder` | Builds trie from `NodeAcl` rows joined against **resolved LDAP group memberships**, keyed on 6-level scope hierarchy for Equipment namespaces. **SystemPlatform namespaces (Galaxy)** use a `FolderSegment` scope level between Namespace and Tag, populated from `Tag.FolderPath` segments, so folder subtree authorization works on Galaxy trees the same way UNS works on Equipment trees. Trie node carries `ScopeKind` enum. |
+| `PermissionTrieCache` + freshness | One trie per `(ClusterId, GenerationId)`. Invalidated on `sp_PublishGeneration` via in-process event bus AND generation-ID check on hot path — every authz call looks up `CurrentGenerationId` (Polly-wrapped, sub-second cache); a Backup that cached a stale generation detects the mismatch + forces re-load. **Redundancy-safe**. |
+| `UserAuthorizationState` freshness | Cached per session BUT bounded by `MembershipFreshnessInterval` (default **15 min**). Past that, the next hot-path authz call re-resolves LDAP group memberships via `LdapGroupService`. Failure to re-resolve (LDAP unreachable) → **fail-closed**: evaluator returns `NotGranted` for every call until memberships refresh successfully. Decoupled from Phase 6.1's availability-oriented 24h cache. |
+| `AuthCacheMaxStaleness` | Separate from Phase 6.1's `UsingStaleConfig` window. Default 5 min — beyond that, authz fails closed regardless of Phase 6.1 cache warmth. |
+| OPC UA server dispatch — all enforcement surfaces | `DriverNodeManager` wires evaluator on: **Browse + TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds** (ancestors implicitly visible if any descendant has a grant; denied ancestors filter from results), **Read** (per-attribute StatusCode `BadUserAccessDenied` in mixed-authorization batches; batch never poisons), **Write** (uses `NodePermissions.WriteOperate/Tune/Configure` based on driver `SecurityClassification`), **HistoryRead** (uses `NodePermissions.HistoryRead` — **distinct** flag, not Read), **HistoryUpdate** (`NodePermissions.HistoryUpdate`), **CreateMonitoredItems** (per-`MonitoredItemCreateResult` denial), **TransferSubscriptions** (re-evaluates items on transfer), **Call** (`NodePermissions.MethodCall`), **Acknowledge/Confirm/Shelve** (per-alarm flags). |
+| Subscription re-authorization | Each `MonitoredItem` is stamped with `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)` at create time. On every Publish, items with a stamp mismatching the session's current `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)` get re-evaluated; revoked items drop to `BadUserAccessDenied` within one publish cycle. Unchanged items stay fast-path. |
+| `LdapAuthService` | On cookie-auth success: resolves LDAP group memberships; loads matching `LdapGroupRoleMapping` rows → role claims + cluster-scope claims (control plane); stores `UserAuthorizationState.LdapGroups` on the session for the data-plane evaluator. |
+| `ValidatedNodeAclAuthoringService` | Replaces CRUD-only `NodeAclService` for authoring. Validates (LDAP group exists, scope exists in current or target draft, grant shape is valid, no duplicate `(LdapGroup, Scope)` pair). Admin UI writes only through it. |
+| Admin UI `AclsTab.razor` | Writes via `ValidatedNodeAclAuthoringService`. Adds Probe-This-Permission row that runs the real evaluator against a chosen `(LDAP group, node, operation)` and shows `Allow` / `NotGranted` + matched-grant provenance. |
+| Admin UI new tab `RoleGrantsTab.razor` | CRUD over `LdapGroupRoleMapping`. Per-cluster + system-wide grants. FleetAdmin only. **Documentation explicit** that this only affects Admin UI access, not OPC UA data plane. |
+| Audit log | Every Grant/Revoke/Publish on `LdapGroupRoleMapping` or `NodeAcl` writes an `AuditLog` row with old/new state + user. |
+
+## Scope — What Does NOT Change
+
+| Item | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| OPC UA authn | Already done (PR 19 LDAP user identity + Basic256Sha256 profile). Phase 6.2 is authorization only. |
+| Explicit `Deny` grants | Decision #129 note explicitly defers to v2.1. Default-deny + additive grants only. |
+| Driver-side `SecurityClassification` metadata | Drivers keep reporting `Operate` / `ViewOnly` / etc. — the evaluator uses them as *part* of the decision but doesn't replace them. |
+| Galaxy namespace (SystemPlatform kind) | UNS levels don't apply; evaluator treats Galaxy nodes as `Cluster → Namespace → Tag` (skip UnsArea/UnsLine/Equipment). |
+
+## Entry Gate Checklist
+
+- [ ] Phase 6.1 merged (reuse `Core.Resilience` Polly pipeline for the ACL cache-refresh retries)
+- [ ] `acl-design.md` re-read in full
+- [ ] Decision log #105, #129, corrections-doc B1 re-skimmed
+- [ ] Existing `NodeAcl` + `NodePermissions` flag enum audited; confirm bitmask flags match `acl-design.md` table
+- [ ] Existing `LdapAuthService` group-resolution code path traced end-to-end — confirm it already queries group memberships (we only need the caller to consume the result)
+- [ ] Test DB scenarios catalogued: two clusters, three LDAP groups per cluster, mixed grant shapes; captured as seed-data fixtures
+
+## Task Breakdown
+
+### Stream A — `LdapGroupRoleMapping` table + migration (3 days)
+
+1. **A.1** Entity + EF Core migration. Columns per §Scope table. Unique constraint on `(LdapGroup, ClusterId)` with null-tolerant comparer for the system-wide case. Index on `LdapGroup` for the hot-path lookup on auth.
+2. **A.2** `ILdapGroupRoleMappingService` CRUD. Wrap in the Phase 6.1 Polly pipeline (timeout → retry → fallback-to-cache).
+3. **A.3** Seed-data migration: preserve the current hardcoded `FleetAdmin` / `ConfigEditor` / `ReadOnly` mappings by seeding rows for the existing LDAP groups the dev box uses (`cn=fleet-admin,…`, `cn=config-editor,…`, `cn=read-only,…`). Op no-op migration for existing deployments.
+
+### Stream B — Permission-trie evaluator (1 week)
+
+1. **B.1** `IPermissionEvaluator.Authorize(IEnumerable<Claim> identity, NodeId nodeId, NodePermissions needed)` — returns `bool`. Phase 6.2 returns only `true` / `false`; v2.1 can widen to `Allow`/`Deny`/`Indeterminate` if Deny lands.
+2. **B.2** `PermissionTrieBuilder` builds the trie from `NodeAcl` + `LdapGroupRoleMapping` joined to the current generation's `UnsArea` + `UnsLine` + `Equipment` + `Tag` tables. One trie per `(ClusterId, GenerationId)` so rollback doesn't smear permissions across generations.
+3. **B.3** Trie node structure: `{ Level: enum, ScopeId: Guid, AllowedPermissions: NodePermissions, ChildrenByLevel: Dictionary<Guid, TrieNode> }`. Evaluation walks from Cluster → Namespace → UnsArea → UnsLine → Equipment → Tag, ORing allowed permissions at each level. Additive semantics: a grant at Cluster level cascades to every descendant tag.
+4. **B.4** `PermissionTrieCache` service scoped as singleton; exposes `GetTrieAsync(ClusterId, ct)` that returns the current-generation trie. Invalidated on `sp_PublishGeneration` via an in-process event bus; also on TTL expiry (24 h safety net).
+5. **B.5** Per-session cached evaluator: OPC UA Session authentication produces `UserAuthorizationState { ClusterId, LdapGroups[], Trie }`; cached on the session until session close or generation-apply.
+6. **B.6** Unit tests: trie-walk theory covering (a) Cluster-level grant cascades to tags, (b) Equipment-level grant doesn't leak to sibling Equipment, (c) multi-group union, (d) no-grant → deny, (e) Galaxy nodes skip UnsArea/UnsLine levels.
+
+### Stream C — OPC UA server dispatch wiring (6 days, widened)
+
+1. **C.1** `DriverNodeManager.Read` — evaluator consulted per `ReadValueId` with `OpcUaOperation.Read`. Denied attributes get `BadUserAccessDenied` per-item; batch never poisons. Integration test covers mixed-authorization batch (3 authorized + 2 denied → 3 Good values + 2 Bad StatusCodes, request completes).
+2. **C.2** `DriverNodeManager.Write` — evaluator chooses `NodePermissions.WriteOperate` / `WriteTune` / `WriteConfigure` based on the driver-reported `SecurityClassification`.
+3. **C.3** `DriverNodeManager.HistoryRead` — **uses `NodePermissions.HistoryRead`**, which is a **distinct flag** from Read. Test: user with Read but not HistoryRead can read live values but gets `BadUserAccessDenied` on `HistoryRead`.
+4. **C.4** `DriverNodeManager.HistoryUpdate` — uses `NodePermissions.HistoryUpdate`.
+5. **C.5** `DriverNodeManager.CreateMonitoredItems` — per-`MonitoredItemCreateResult` denial in mixed-authorization batch; partial success path per OPC UA Part 4. Each created item stamped `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)`.
+6. **C.6** `DriverNodeManager.TransferSubscriptions` — on reconnect, re-evaluate every transferred `MonitoredItem` against the session's current auth state. Stale-stamp items drop to `BadUserAccessDenied`.
+7. **C.7** **Browse + TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds** — evaluator called with `OpcUaOperation.Browse`. Ancestor visibility implied when any descendant has a grant (per `acl-design.md` §Browse). Denied ancestors filter from browse results — the UA browser sees a hierarchy truncated at the denied ancestor rather than an inconsistent child-without-parent view.
+8. **C.8** `DriverNodeManager.Call` — `NodePermissions.MethodCall`.
+9. **C.9** Alarm actions (Acknowledge / Confirm / Shelve) — per-alarm `NodePermissions.AlarmAck` / `AlarmConfirm` / `AlarmShelve`.
+10. **C.10** Publish path — for each `MonitoredItem` with a mismatched `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)` stamp, re-evaluate. Unchanged items stay fast-path; changes happen at next publish cycle.
+11. **C.11** Integration tests: three-user seed with different memberships; matrix covers every operation in §Scope. Mixed-batch tests for Read + CreateMonitoredItems.
+
+### Stream D — Admin UI refresh (4 days)
+
+1. **D.1** `RoleGrantsTab.razor` — FleetAdmin-gated CRUD on `LdapGroupRoleMapping`. Per-cluster dropdown + system-wide checkbox. Validation: LDAP group must exist in the dev LDAP (GLAuth) before saving — best-effort probe with graceful degradation.
+2. **D.2** `AclsTab.razor` rewrites its edit path to write through the new `NodeAclService`. Adds a "Probe this permission" row: choose `(LDAP group, node, action)` → shows Allow / Deny + the reason (which grant matched).
+3. **D.3** Draft-generation diff viewer now includes an ACL section: "X grants added, Y grants removed, Z grants changed."
+4. **D.4** SignalR notification: `PermissionTrieCache` invalidation on `sp_PublishGeneration` pushes to Admin UI so operators see "this clusters permissions were just updated" within 2 s.
+
+## Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)
+
+- [ ] **Control/data-plane separation**: `LdapGroupRoleMapping` consumed only by Admin UI; the data-path evaluator has zero references to it. Enforced via a project-reference audit (Admin project references the mapping service; `Core.Authorization` does not).
+- [ ] **Every operation wired**: Browse, Read, Write, HistoryRead, HistoryUpdate, CreateMonitoredItems, TransferSubscriptions, Call, Acknowledge, Confirm, Shelve all consult the evaluator. Integration test matrix covers every operation × allow/deny.
+- [ ] **HistoryRead uses its own flag**: test "user with Read + no HistoryRead gets `BadUserAccessDenied` on HistoryRead".
+- [ ] **Mixed-batch semantics**: Read of 5 nodes (3 allowed + 2 denied) returns 3 Good + 2 `BadUserAccessDenied` per-`ReadValueId`; CreateMonitoredItems equivalent.
+- [ ] **Browse ancestor visibility**: user with a grant only on a deep equipment node can browse the path to it (ancestors implied); denied ancestors filter from browse results otherwise.
+- [ ] **Galaxy FolderSegment coverage**: a grant on a Galaxy folder subtree cascades to its tags; sibling folders are unaffected. Trie test covers this.
+- [ ] **Subscription re-authorization**: integration test — create item, revoke grant via draft+publish, next publish cycle the item returns `BadUserAccessDenied` (not silently still-notifying).
+- [ ] **Membership freshness**: test — 15 min MembershipFreshnessInterval elapses on a long-lived session + LDAP now unreachable → authz fails closed on the next request until LDAP recovers.
+- [ ] **Auth cache fail-closed**: test — Phase 6.1 cache serves stale config for 6 min; authz evaluator refuses all calls after 5 min regardless.
+- [ ] **Trie invariants**: `PermissionTrieBuilder` is idempotent (build twice with identical inputs → equal tries).
+- [ ] **Additive grants + cluster isolation**: cluster-grant cascades; cross-cluster leakage impossible.
+- [ ] **Redundancy-safe invalidation**: integration test — two nodes, a publish on one, authorize a request on the other before in-process event propagates → generation-mismatch forces re-load, no stale decision.
+- [ ] **Authoring validation**: `AclsTab` cannot save a `(LdapGroup, Scope)` pair that already exists in the draft; operator sees the validation error pre-save.
+- [ ] **AuthorizationDecision shape stability**: API surface exposes `Allow` + `NotGranted` only; `Denied` variant exists in the type but is never produced; v2.1 can add Deny without API break.
+- [ ] No regression in driver test counts.
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|:----------:|:------:|------------|
+| ACL evaluator latency on per-read hot path | Medium | High | Trie lookup is O(depth) = O(6); session-cached UserAuthorizationState avoids per-Read trie rebuild; benchmark in Stream B.6 |
+| Trie cache stale after a rollback | Medium | High | `sp_PublishGeneration` + `sp_RollbackGeneration` both emit the invalidation event; trie keyed on `(ClusterId, GenerationId)` so rollback fetches the prior trie cleanly |
+| `BadUserAccessDenied` returns expose sensitive browse-name metadata | Low | Medium | Server returns only the status code + NodeId; no message leak per OPC UA Part 4 §7.34 guidance |
+| LdapGroupRoleMapping migration breaks existing deployments | Low | High | Seed-migration preserves the hardcoded groups' effective grants verbatim; smoke test exercises the post-migration fleet admin login |
+| Deny semantics accidentally ship (would break `acl-design.md` defer) | Low | Medium | `IPermissionEvaluator.Authorize` returns `bool` (not tri-state) through Phase 6.2; widening to `Allow`/`Deny`/`Indeterminate` is a v2.1 ticket |

+## Adversarial Review — 2026-04-19 (Codex, thread `019da48d-0d2b-7171-aed2-fc05f1f39ca3`)
+
+1. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Trie must not conflate `LdapGroupRoleMapping` (control-plane admin claims per decision #105) with data-plane ACLs (decision #129). **Change**: `LdapGroupRoleMapping` is consumed only by the Admin UI role router. Data-plane trie reads `NodeAcl` rows joined against the session's **resolved LDAP groups**, never admin roles. Stream B.2 updated.
+2. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Cached `UserAuthorizationState` survives LDAP group changes because memberships only refresh at cookie-auth. Change: add `MembershipFreshnessInterval` (default 15 min); past that, next hot-path authz call forces group re-resolution (fail-closed if LDAP unreachable). Session-close-wins on config-rollback.
+3. **High · ACCEPT** — Node-local invalidation doesn't extend across redundant pair. **Change**: trie keyed on `(ClusterId, GenerationId)`; hot-path authz looks up `CurrentGenerationId` from the shared config DB (Polly-wrapped + sub-second cache). A Backup that read stale generation gets a mismatched trie → forces re-load. Implementation note added to Stream B.4.
+4. **High · ACCEPT** — Browse enforcement missing. **Change**: new Stream C.7 (`Browse + TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds` enforcement). Ancestor visibility implied when any descendant has a grant; denied ancestors filter from browse results per `acl-design.md` §Browse.
+5. **High · ACCEPT** — `HistoryRead` should use `NodePermissions.HistoryRead` bit, not `Read`. **Change**: Stream C.3 revised; separate unit test asserts `Read+no-HistoryRead` denies HistoryRead while allowing current-value reads.
+6. **High · ACCEPT** — Galaxy shallow-path (Cluster→Namespace→Tag) loses folder hierarchy authorization. **Change**: SystemPlatform namespaces use a `FolderSegment` scope-level between Namespace and Tag, populated from `Tag.FolderPath`; UNS-kind namespaces keep the 6-level hierarchy. Trie supports both via `ScopeKind` on each node.
+7. **High · ACCEPT** — Subscription re-authorization policy unresolved between create-time-only (fast, wrong on revoke) and per-publish (slow). **Change**: stamp each `MonitoredItem` with `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)`; re-evaluate on Publish only when either version changed. Revoked items drop to `BadUserAccessDenied` within one publish cycle.
+8. **Med · ACCEPT** — Mixed-authorization batch `Read` / `CreateMonitoredItems` service-result semantics underspecified. **Change**: Stream C.6 explicitly tests per-`ReadValueId` + per-`MonitoredItemCreateResult` denial in mixed batches; batch never collapses to a coarse failure.
+9. **Med · ACCEPT** — Missing surfaces: `Method.Call`, `HistoryUpdate`, event filter on subscriptions, subscription-transfer on reconnect, alarm-ack. **Change**: scope expanded — every OPC UA authorization surface enumerated in Stream C: Read, Write, HistoryRead, HistoryUpdate, CreateMonitoredItems, TransferSubscriptions, Call, Acknowledge/Confirm/Shelve, Browse, TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds.
+10. **Med · ACCEPT** — `bool` evaluator bakes in grant-only semantics; collides with v2.1 Deny. **Change**: internal model uses `AuthorizationDecision { Allow | NotGranted | Denied, IReadOnlyList<MatchedGrant> Provenance }`. Phase 6.2 maps `Denied` → never produced; UI + audit log use the full record so v2.1 Deny lands without API break.
+11. **Med · ACCEPT** — 6.1 cache fallback is availability-oriented; applying it to auth is correctness-dangerous. **Change**: auth-specific staleness budget `AuthCacheMaxStaleness` (default 5 min, not 24 h). Past that, hot-path evaluator fails closed on cached reads; all authorization calls return `NotGranted` until fresh data lands. Documented in risks + compliance.
+12. **Low · ACCEPT** — Existing `NodeAclService` is raw CRUD. **Change**: new `ValidatedNodeAclAuthoringService` enforces scope-uniqueness + draft/publish invariants + rejects invalid (LDAP group, scope) pairs; Admin UI writes through it only. Stream D.2 adjusted.

+# Phase 6.3 — Redundancy Runtime
+
+> **Status**: DRAFT — `CLAUDE.md` + `docs/Redundancy.md` describe a non-transparent warm/hot redundancy model with unique ApplicationUris, `RedundancySupport` advertisement, `ServerUriArray`, and dynamic `ServiceLevel`. Entities (`ServerCluster`, `ClusterNode`, `RedundancyRole`, `RedundancyMode`) exist; the runtime behavior (actual `ServiceLevel` number computation, mid-apply dip, `ServerUriArray` broadcast) is not wired.
+>
+> **Branch**: `v2/phase-6-3-redundancy-runtime`
+> **Estimated duration**: 2 weeks
+> **Predecessor**: Phase 6.2 (Authorization) — reuses the Phase 6.1 health endpoints for cluster-peer probing
+> **Successor**: Phase 6.4 (Admin UI completion)
+
+## Phase Objective
+
+Land the non-transparent redundancy protocol end-to-end: two `OtOpcUa.Server` instances in a `ServerCluster` each expose a live `ServiceLevel` node whose value reflects that instance's suitability to serve traffic, advertise each other via `ServerUriArray`, and transition role (Primary ↔ Backup) based on health + operator intent.
+
+Closes these gaps:
+
+1. **Dynamic `ServiceLevel`** — OPC UA Part 5 §6.3.34 specifies a Byte (0..255) that clients poll to pick the healthiest server. Our server publishes it as a static value today.
+2. **`ServerUriArray` broadcast** — Part 4 specifies that every node in a redundant pair should advertise its peers' ApplicationUris. Currently advertises only its own.
+3. **Primary / Backup role coordination** — entities carry `RedundancyRole` but the runtime doesn't read it; no peer health probing; no role-transfer on primary failure.
+4. **Mid-apply dip** — decision-level expectation that a server mid-generation-apply should report a *lower* ServiceLevel so clients cut over to the peer during the apply window. Not implemented.
+
+## Scope — What Changes
+
+| Concern | Change |
+|---------|--------|
+| `OtOpcUa.Server` → new `Server.Redundancy` sub-namespace | `RedundancyCoordinator` singleton. Resolves the current node's `ClusterNode` row at startup, loads peers, runs **two-layer peer health probe**: (a) `/healthz` every 2 s as the fast-fail (inherits Phase 6.1 semantics — HTTP + DB/cache healthy); (b) `UaHealthProbe` every 10 s — opens a lightweight OPC UA client session to the peer + reads its `ServiceLevel` node + verifies endpoint serves data. Authority decisions use UaHealthProbe; `/healthz` is used only to avoid wasting UA probes when peer is obviously down. |
+| Publish-generation fencing | Topology + role decisions are stamped with a monotonic `ConfigGenerationId` from the shared config DB. Coordinator re-reads topology via CAS on `(ClusterId, ExpectedGeneration)` → new row; peers reject state propagated from a lower generation. Prevents split-publish races. |
+| `InvalidTopology` runtime state | If both nodes detect >1 Primary AFTER startup (config-DB drift during a publish), both self-demote to ServiceLevel 2 until convergence. Neither node serves authoritatively; clients pick the healthier alternative or reconnect later. |
+| OPC UA server root | `ServiceLevel` variable node becomes a `BaseDataVariable` whose value updates on `RedundancyCoordinator` state change. `ServerUriArray` array variable includes **self + peers** in stable deterministic ordering (decision per OPC UA Part 4 §6.6.2.2). `RedundancySupport` stays static (set from `RedundancyMode` at startup); `Transparent` mode validated pre-publish, not rejected at startup. |
+| `RedundancyCoordinator` computation | **8-state ServiceLevel matrix** — avoids OPC UA Part 5 §6.3.34 collision (`0=Maintenance`, `1=NoData`). Operator-declared maintenance only = **0**. Unreachable / Faulted = **1**. In-range operational states occupy **2..255**: Authoritative-Primary = **255**; Isolated-Primary (peer unreachable, self serving) = **230**; Primary-Mid-Apply = **200**; Recovering-Primary (post-fault, dwell not met) = **180**; Authoritative-Backup = **100**; Isolated-Backup (primary unreachable, "take over if asked") = **80**; Backup-Mid-Apply = **50**; Recovering-Backup = **30**; `InvalidTopology` (runtime detects >1 Primary) = **2** (detected-inconsistency band — below normal operation). Full matrix documented in `docs/Redundancy.md` update. |
+| Role transition | Split-brain avoidance: role is *declared* in the shared config DB (`ClusterNode.RedundancyRole`), not elected at runtime. An operator flips the row (or a failover script does). Coordinator only reads; never writes. |
+| `sp_PublishGeneration` hook | Uses named **apply leases** keyed to `(ConfigGenerationId, PublishRequestId)`. `await using var lease = coordinator.BeginApplyLease(...)`. Disposal on any exit path (success, exception, cancellation) decrements. Watchdog auto-closes any lease older than `ApplyMaxDuration` (default 10 min) → ServiceLevel can't stick at mid-apply. Pre-publish validator rejects unsupported `RedundancyMode` (e.g. `Transparent`) with a clear error so runtime never sees an invalid state. |
+| Admin UI `/cluster/{id}` page | New `RedundancyTab.razor` — shows current node's role + ServiceLevel + peer reachability. FleetAdmin can trigger a role-swap by editing `ClusterNode.RedundancyRole` + publishing a draft. |
+| Metrics | New OpenTelemetry metrics: `ot_opcua_service_level{cluster,node}`, `ot_opcua_peer_reachable{cluster,node,peer}`, `ot_opcua_apply_in_progress{cluster,node}`. Sink via Phase 6.1 observability layer. |
+
+## Scope — What Does NOT Change
+
+| Item | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| OPC UA authn / authz | Phases 6.2 + prior. Redundancy is orthogonal. |
+| Driver layer | Drivers aren't redundancy-aware; they run on each node independently against the same equipment. The server layer handles the ServiceLevel story. |
+| Automatic failover / election | Explicitly out of scope. Non-transparent = client picks which server to use via ServiceLevel + ServerUriArray. We do NOT ship consensus, leader election, or automatic promotion. Operator-driven failover is the v2.0 model per decision #79–85. |
+| Transparent redundancy (`RedundancySupport=Transparent`) | Not supported. If the operator asks for it the server fails startup with a clear error. |
+| Historian redundancy | Galaxy Historian's own redundancy (two historians on two CPUs) is out of scope. The Galaxy driver talks to whichever historian is reachable from its node. |
+
+## Entry Gate Checklist
+
+- [ ] Phase 6.1 merged (uses `/healthz` for peer probing)
+- [ ] `CLAUDE.md` §Redundancy + `docs/Redundancy.md` re-read
+- [ ] Decisions #79–85 re-skimmed
+- [ ] `ServerCluster`/`ClusterNode`/`RedundancyRole`/`RedundancyMode` entities + existing migration reviewed
+- [ ] OPC UA Part 4 §Redundancy + Part 5 §6.3.34 (ServiceLevel) re-skimmed
+- [ ] Dev box has two OtOpcUa.Server instances configured against the same cluster — one designated Primary, one Backup — for integration testing
+
+## Task Breakdown
+
+### Stream A — Cluster topology loader (3 days)
+
+1. **A.1** `RedundancyCoordinator` startup path: reads `ClusterNode` row for the current node (identified by `appsettings.json` `Cluster:NodeId`), reads the cluster's peer list, validates invariants (no duplicate `ApplicationUri`, at most one `Primary` per cluster if `RedundancyMode.WarmActive`, at most two nodes total in v2.0 per decision #83).
+2. **A.2** Topology subscription — coordinator re-reads on `sp_PublishGeneration` confirmation so an operator role-swap takes effect after publish (no process restart needed).
+3. **A.3** Tests: two-node cluster seed, one-node cluster seed (degenerate), duplicate-uri rejection.
+
+### Stream B — Peer health probing + ServiceLevel computation (6 days, widened)
+
+1. **B.1** `PeerHttpProbeLoop` per peer at 2 s — calls peer's `/healthz`, 1 s timeout, exponential backoff on sustained failure. Used as fast-fail.
+2. **B.2** `PeerUaProbeLoop` per peer at 10 s — opens an OPC UA client session to the peer (reuses Phase 5 `Driver.OpcUaClient` stack), reads peer's `ServiceLevel` node + verifies endpoint serves data. Short-circuit: if HTTP probe is failing, skip UA probe (no wasted sessions).
+3. **B.3** `ServiceLevelCalculator.Compute(role, selfHealth, peerHttpHealthy, peerUaHealthy, applyInProgress, recoveryDwellMet, topologyValid) → byte`. 8-state matrix per §Scope. `topologyValid=false` forces InvalidTopology = 2 regardless of other inputs.
+4. **B.4** `RecoveryStateManager`: after a `Faulted → Healthy` transition, hold driver in `Recovering` band (180 Primary / 30 Backup) for `RecoveryDwellTime` (default 60 s) AND require one positive publish witness (successful `Read` on a reference node) before entering Authoritative band.
+5. **B.5** Calculator reacts to inputs via `IObserver` so changes immediately push to the OPC UA `ServiceLevel` node.
+6. **B.6** Tests: **64-case matrix** covering role × self-health × peer-http × peer-ua × apply × recovery × topology. Specific cases flagged: Primary-with-unreachable-peer-serves-at-230 (authority retained); Backup-with-unreachable-primary-escalates-to-80 (not auto-promote); InvalidTopology demotes both nodes; Recovering dwell + publish-witness blocks premature return to 255.
+
+### Stream C — OPC UA node wiring (3 days)
+
+1. **C.1** `ServiceLevel` variable node created under `ServerStatus` at server startup. Type `Byte`, AccessLevel = CurrentRead only. Subscribe to `ServiceLevelCalculator` observable; push updates via `DataChangeNotification`.
+2. **C.2** `ServerUriArray` variable node under `ServerCapabilities`. Array of `String`, **includes self + peers** with deterministic ordering (self first). Updates on topology change. Compliance test asserts local-plus-peer membership.
+3. **C.3** `RedundancySupport` variable — static at startup from `RedundancyMode`. Values: `None`, `Cold`, `Warm`, `WarmActive`, `Hot`. Unsupported values (`Transparent`, `HotAndMirrored`) are rejected **pre-publish** by validator — runtime never sees them.
+4. **C.4** Client.CLI cutover test: connect to primary, read `ServiceLevel` → 255; pause primary apply → 200; unreachable peer while apply in progress → 200 (apply dominates peer-unreachable per matrix); client sees peer via `ServerUriArray`; fail primary → client reconnects to peer at 80 (isolated-backup band).
+
+### Stream D — Apply-window integration (3 days)
+
+1. **D.1** `sp_PublishGeneration` caller wraps the apply in `await using var lease = coordinator.BeginApplyLease(generationId, publishRequestId)`. Lease keyed to `(ConfigGenerationId, PublishRequestId)` so concurrent publishes stay isolated. Disposal decrements on every exit path.
+2. **D.2** `ApplyLeaseWatchdog` auto-closes leases older than `ApplyMaxDuration` (default 10 min) so a crashed publisher can't pin the node at mid-apply.
+3. **D.3** Pre-publish validator in `sp_PublishGeneration` rejects unsupported `RedundancyMode` values (`Transparent`, `HotAndMirrored`) with a clear error message — runtime never sees an invalid mode.
+4. **D.4** Tests: (a) mid-apply client subscribes → sees ServiceLevel drop → sees restore; (b) lease leak via `ThreadAbort` / cancellation → watchdog closes; (c) publish rejected for `Transparent` → operator-actionable error.
+
+### Stream E — Admin UI + metrics (3 days)
+
+1. **E.1** `RedundancyTab.razor` under `/cluster/{id}/redundancy`. Shows each node's role, current ServiceLevel (with band label per 8-state matrix), peer reachability (HTTP + UA probe separately), last apply timestamp. Role-swap button posts a draft edit on `ClusterNode.RedundancyRole`; publish applies.
+2. **E.2** OpenTelemetry meter export: `ot_opcua_service_level{cluster,node}` gauge + `ot_opcua_peer_reachable{cluster,node,peer,kind=http|ua}` + `ot_opcua_apply_in_progress{cluster,node}` + `ot_opcua_topology_valid{cluster}`. Sink via Phase 6.1 observability.
+3. **E.3** SignalR push: `FleetStatusHub` broadcasts ServiceLevel changes so the Admin UI updates within ~1 s of the coordinator observing a peer flip.
+
+### Stream F — Client-interoperability matrix (3 days, new)
+
+1. **F.1** Validate ServiceLevel-driven cutover against **Ignition 8.1 + 8.3**, **Kepware KEPServerEX 6.x**, **Aveva OI Gateway 2020R2 + 2023R1**. For each: configure the client with both endpoints, verify it honors `ServiceLevel` + `ServerUriArray` during primary failover.
+2. **F.2** Clients that don't honour the standards (doc field — may include Kepware and OI Gateway per Codex review) get an explicit compatibility-matrix entry: "requires manual backup-endpoint config / vendor-specific redundancy primitives". Documented in `docs/Redundancy.md`.
+3. **F.3** Galaxy MXAccess failover test — boot Galaxy.Proxy on both nodes, kill Primary, assert Galaxy consumer reconnects to Backup within `(SessionTimeout + KeepAliveInterval × 3)`. Document required session-timeout config in `docs/Redundancy.md`.
+
+## Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)
+
+- [ ] **OPC UA band compliance**: `0=Maintenance` reserved, `1=NoData` reserved. Operational states in 2..255 per 8-state matrix.
+- [ ] **Authoritative-Primary** ServiceLevel = 255.
+- [ ] **Isolated-Primary** (peer unreachable, self serving) = 230 — Primary retains authority.
+- [ ] **Primary-Mid-Apply** = 200.
+- [ ] **Recovering-Primary** = 180 with dwell + publish witness enforced.
+- [ ] **Authoritative-Backup** = 100.
+- [ ] **Isolated-Backup** (primary unreachable) = 80 — does NOT auto-promote.
+- [ ] **InvalidTopology** = 2 — both nodes self-demote when >1 Primary detected runtime.
+- [ ] **ServerUriArray** returns self + peer URIs, self first.
+- [ ] **UaHealthProbe authority**: integration test — peer returns HTTP 200 but OPC UA endpoint unreachable → coordinator treats peer as UA-unhealthy; peer is not a valid authority source.
+- [ ] **Apply-lease disposal**: leases close on exception, cancellation, and watchdog timeout; ServiceLevel never sticks at mid-apply band.
+- [ ] **Transparent-mode rejection**: attempting to publish `RedundancyMode=Transparent` is blocked at `sp_PublishGeneration`; runtime never sees an invalid mode.
+- [ ] **Role transition via operator publish**: FleetAdmin swaps `RedundancyRole` in a draft, publishes; both nodes re-read topology on publish confirmation + flip ServiceLevel — no restart.
+- [ ] **Client.CLI cutover**: with primary halted, Client.CLI that was connected to primary sees primary drop + reconnects to backup via `ServerUriArray`.
+- [ ] **Client interoperability matrix** (Stream F): Ignition 8.1 + 8.3 honour ServiceLevel; Kepware + Aveva OI Gateway findings documented.
+- [ ] **Galaxy MXAccess failover**: end-to-end test — primary kill → Galaxy consumer reconnects to backup within session-timeout budget.
+- [ ] No regression in existing driver test suites; no regression in `/healthz` reachability under redundancy load.
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|:----------:|:------:|------------|
+| Split-brain from operator race (both nodes marked Primary) | Low | High | Coordinator rejects startup if its cluster has >1 Primary row; logs + fails fast. Document as a publish-time validation in `sp_PublishGeneration`. |
+| ServiceLevel thrashing on flaky peer | Medium | Medium | 2 s probe interval + 3-sample smoothing window; only declares a peer unreachable after 3 consecutive failed probes |
+| Client ignores ServiceLevel and stays on broken primary | Medium | Medium | Documented in `docs/Redundancy.md` — non-transparent redundancy requires client cooperation; most SCADA clients (Ignition, Kepware, Aveva OI Gateway) honor it. Unit-test the advertised values; field behavior is client-responsibility |
+| Apply-window counter leaks on exception | Low | High | `BeginApplyWindow` returns `IDisposable`; `using` syntax enforces paired decrement; unit test for exception-in-apply path |
+| `HttpClient` probe leaks sockets | Low | Medium | Single shared `HttpClient` per coordinator (not per-probe); timeouts tight to avoid keeping connections open during peer downtime |
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- [ ] Stream A: topology loader + tests
+- [ ] Stream B: peer probe + ServiceLevel calculator + 32-case matrix tests
+- [ ] Stream C: ServiceLevel / ServerUriArray / RedundancySupport node wiring + Client.CLI smoke test

+## Adversarial Review — 2026-04-19 (Codex, thread `019da490-3fa0-7340-98b8-cceeca802550`)
+
+1. **Crit · ACCEPT** — No publish-generation fencing enables split-publish advertising both as authoritative. **Change**: coordinator CAS on a monotonic `ConfigGenerationId`; every topology decision is generation-stamped; peers reject state propagated from a lower generation.
+2. **Crit · ACCEPT** — `>1 Primary` at startup covered but runtime containment missing when invalid topology appears later (mid-apply race). **Change**: add runtime `InvalidTopology` state — both nodes self-demote to ServiceLevel 2 (the "detected inconsistency" band, below normal operation) until convergence.
+3. **High · ACCEPT** — `0 = Faulted` collides with OPC UA Part 5 §6.3.34 semantics where 0 means **Maintenance** and 1 means NoData. **Change**: reserve **0** for operator-declared maintenance-mode only; Faulted/unreachable uses **1** (NoData); in-range degraded states occupy 2..199.
+4. **High · ACCEPT** — Matrix collapses distinct operational states onto the same value. **Change**: matrix expanded to Authoritative-Primary=255, Isolated-Primary=230 (peer unreachable — still serving), Primary-Mid-Apply=200, Recovering-Primary=180, Authoritative-Backup=100, Isolated-Backup=80 (primary unreachable — "take over if asked"), Backup-Mid-Apply=50, Recovering-Backup=30.
+5. **High · ACCEPT** — `/healthz` from 6.1 is HTTP-healthy but doesn't guarantee OPC UA data plane. **Change**: add a redundancy-specific probe `UaHealthProbe` — issues a `ReadAsync(ServiceLevel)` against the peer's OPC UA endpoint via a lightweight client session. `/healthz` remains the fast-fail; the UA probe is the authority signal.
+6. **High · ACCEPT** — `ServerUriArray` must include self + peers, not peers only. **Change**: array contains `[self.ApplicationUri, peer.ApplicationUri]` in stable deterministic ordering; compliance test asserts local-plus-peer membership.
+7. **Med · ACCEPT** — No `Faulted → Recovering → Healthy` path. **Change**: add `Recovering` state with min dwell time (60 s default) + positive publish witness (one successful Read on a reference node) before returning to Healthy. Thrash-prevention.
+8. **Med · ACCEPT** — Topology change during in-flight probe undefined. **Change**: every probe task tagged with `ConfigGenerationId` at dispatch; obsolete results discarded; in-flight probes cancelled on topology reload.
+9. **Med · ACCEPT** — Apply-window counter race on exception/cancellation/async ownership. **Change**: apply-window is a named lease keyed to `(ConfigGenerationId, PublishRequestId)` with disposal enforced via `await using`; watchdog detects leased-but-abandoned and force-closes after `ApplyMaxDuration` (default 10 min).
+10. **High · ACCEPT** — Ignition + Kepware + Aveva OI Gateway `ServiceLevel` compliance is unverified. **Change**: risk elevated to High; add Stream F (new) — build an interop matrix: validate against Ignition 8.1/8.3, Kepware KEPServerEX 6.x, Aveva OI Gateway 2020R2 + 2023R1. Document per-client cutover behaviour. Field deployments get a documented compatibility table; clients that ignore ServiceLevel documented as requiring explicit backup-endpoint config.
+11. **Med · ACCEPT** — Galaxy MXAccess re-session on Primary death not in acceptance. **Change**: Stream F adds an end-to-end failover smoke test that boots Galaxy.Proxy on both nodes, kills Primary, asserts Galaxy consumer reconnects to Backup within `(SessionTimeout + KeepAliveInterval × 3)` budget. `docs/Redundancy.md` updated with required session timeouts.
+12. **Med · ACCEPT** — Transparent-mode startup rejection is outage-prone. **Change**: `sp_PublishGeneration` validates `RedundancyMode` pre-publish — unsupported values reject the publish attempt with a clear validation error; runtime never sees an unsupported mode. Last-good config stays active.

+# Phase 6.4 — Admin UI Completion
+
+> **Status**: DRAFT — Phase 1 Stream E shipped the Admin scaffold + core pages; several feature-completeness items from its completion checklist (`phase-1-configuration-and-admin-scaffold.md` §Stream E) never landed. This phase closes them.
+>
+> **Branch**: `v2/phase-6-4-admin-ui-completion`
+> **Estimated duration**: 2 weeks
+> **Predecessor**: Phase 6.3 (Redundancy runtime) — reuses the `/cluster/{id}` page layout for the new tabs
+> **Successor**: v2 release-readiness capstone (Task #121)
+
+## Phase Objective
+
+Close the Admin UI feature-completeness checklist that Phase 1 Stream E exit gate left open. Each item below is an existing `phase-1-configuration-and-admin-scaffold.md` completion-checklist entry that is currently unchecked.
+
+Gaps to close:
+
+1. **UNS Structure tab drag/move with impact preview** — decision #115 + `admin-ui.md` §"UNS". Current state: list-only render; no drag reorder; no "X lines / Y equipment impacted" preview.
+2. **Equipment CSV import + 5-identifier search** — decision #95 + #117. Current state: basic form; no CSV parser; search indexes only ZTag.
+3. **Draft-generation diff viewer** — enhance existing `DiffViewer.razor` to show generation-diff not just staged-edit diff; highlight ACL grant changes (lands after Phase 6.2).
+4. **`_base` equipment-class Identification fields exposure** — decision #138–139. Columns exist on `Equipment`; no Admin UI field group; no address-space exposure of the OPC 40010 sub-folder.
+
+## Scope — What Changes
+
+| Concern | Change |
+|---------|--------|
+| `Admin/Pages/UnsTab.razor` | Tree component with drag-drop using **`MudBlazor.TreeView` + `MudBlazor.DropTarget`** (existing transitive dep — no new third-party package). Native HTML5 DnD rejected because virtualization + DnD on 500+ nodes doesn't combine reliably. Each drag fires a "Compute Impact" call carrying a `DraftRevisionToken`; modal preview ("Moving Line 'Oven-2' from 'Packaging' to 'Assembly' will re-home 14 equipment + re-parent 237 tags"). **Confirm step re-checks the token** and rejects with a `409 Conflict / refresh-required` modal if the draft advanced between preview and commit. |
+| `Admin/Services/UnsImpactAnalyzer.cs` | New service. Given a move-operation (line move, area rename, line merge), computes cascade counts + `DraftRevisionToken` at preview time. Pure-function shape; testable in isolation. |
+| `Admin/Pages/EquipmentTab.razor` | Add CSV-import button → modal with file picker + dry-run preview. **Identifier search** uses the canonical decision #117 set: `ZTag / MachineCode / SAPID / EquipmentId / EquipmentUuid`. Typeahead probes each column with a ranking query (exact match score 100 → prefix 50 → opt-in LIKE 20; published > draft tie-break). Result row shows which field matched via trailing badge. |
+| `Admin/Services/EquipmentCsvImporter.cs` | New service. CSV header row must start with `# OtOpcUaCsv v1` (version marker — future shape changes bump the version). Columns: `ZTag, MachineCode, SAPID, EquipmentId, EquipmentUuid, Name, UnsAreaName, UnsLineName, Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation, ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri`. Parser rejects unknown columns + blank required fields + duplicate ZTags + missing UnsLines. |
+| **Staged-import table** `EquipmentImportBatch` | New entity `{ Id, CreatedAtUtc, CreatedBy, RowsStaged, RowsAccepted, RowsRejected, FinalisedAtUtc? }` + child `EquipmentImportRow` records. Import writes rows in chunks to the staging table (not to `Equipment`). `FinaliseImportBatch` is the atomic finalize step that applies all accepted rows to `Equipment` + `ExternalIdReservation` in one transaction — short + bounded regardless of input size. Rollback = drop the batch row; `Equipment` never partially mutates. |
+| `Admin/Pages/DraftEditor.razor` + `DiffViewer.razor` | Diff viewer refactored into a base component + section plugins: `StructuralDiffSection`, `EquipmentDiffSection`, `TagDiffSection`, `AclDiffSection` (Phase 6.2), `RedundancyDiffSection` (Phase 6.3), `IdentificationDiffSection`. Each section has a **1000-row hard cap**; over-cap renders an aggregate summary + "Load full diff" button streaming 500-row pages via SignalR. Subtree-rename diffs (decision #115 bulk restructure) surface as summary only by default. |
+| `Admin/Components/IdentificationFields.razor` | New component. Renders the OPC 40010 field set **per decision #139**: `Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation, ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri`. `ProductInstanceUri / DeviceRevision / MonthOfConstruction` dropped from this phase — they need a separate decision-log widening. |
+| `OtOpcUa.Server/OpcUa/DriverNodeManager` — Equipment folder build | When an `Equipment` row has non-null Identification fields, the server adds an `Identification` sub-folder under the Equipment node containing one variable per non-null field. **ACL binding**: the sub-folder + variables inherit the `Equipment` scope's grants from Phase 6.2's trie — no new scope level added. Documented in `acl-design.md` cross-reference update. |
+
+## Scope — What Does NOT Change
+
+| Item | Reason |
+|------|--------|
+| Admin UI visual language | Bootstrap 5 / cookie auth / sidebar layout unchanged — consistency with ScadaLink design reference. |
+| LDAP auth flow | Already shipped in Phase 1. Phase 6.4 is additive UI only. |
+| Core abstractions / driver layer | Admin UI changes don't touch drivers. |
+| Equipment-class *template schema validation* | Still deferred (decision #112 — schemas repo not landed). We expose the Identification fields but don't validate against a template hierarchy. |
+| Drag/move to *other clusters* | Out of scope — equipment is cluster-scoped per decision #82. Cross-cluster migration is a different workflow. |

+## Task Breakdown
+
+### Stream A — UNS drag/reorder + impact preview (5 days)
+
+1. **A.1** 1000-node synthetic seed fixture. Drag-latency bench against `MudBlazor.TreeView` + `MudBlazor.DropTarget` — commit to the component if latency budget (100 ms drag-enter feedback) holds; fall back to flat-list reorder UI (Area/Line dropdowns) with loss of visual drag affordance otherwise.
+2. **A.2** `UnsImpactAnalyzer` service. Inputs: `(DraftGenerationId, MoveOperation, DraftRevisionToken)`. Outputs: `ImpactPreview { AffectedEquipmentCount, AffectedTagCount, CascadeWarnings[], DraftRevisionToken }`. Pure-function shape; testable in isolation.
+3. **A.3** Modal preview wired to `UnsImpactAnalyzer`. **Confirm** re-reads the current draft revision + compares against the preview's token; if the draft advanced (another operator saved a different edit), show a `409 Conflict / refresh-required` modal rather than silently overwriting.
+4. **A.4** Cross-cluster drop attempts: target disabled + toast "Equipment is cluster-scoped (decision #82). To move across clusters, use Export → Import on the Cluster detail page." Plus help link.
+5. **A.5** Playwright (or equivalent) smoke test: drag a line across areas, assert modal shows right counts, assert draft row reflects the move; concurrent-edit test runs two sessions + asserts the later Confirm hits the 409.
+
+### Stream B — Equipment CSV import + 5-identifier search (5 days)
+
+1. **B.1** `EquipmentCsvImporter`. Strict RFC 4180 parser (per decision #95). Header row validation: first line must match `# OtOpcUaCsv v1` — future versions fork parser versions. Required columns: `ZTag, MachineCode, SAPID, EquipmentId, EquipmentUuid, Name, UnsAreaName, UnsLineName`. Optional: `Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation, ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri`. Parser rejects unknown columns + blank required fields + duplicate ZTags.
+2. **B.2** `EquipmentImportBatch` + `EquipmentImportRow` staging tables (migration). Import writes preview rows to staging via chunked inserts; staging never blocks `Equipment` or `ExternalIdReservation`. Preview query reads staging + validates each row against the current `Equipment` state + `ExternalIdReservation` freshness.
+3. **B.3** `ImportPreview` UI — per-row accept/reject table. Reject reasons: "ZTag already exists in draft", "ExternalIdReservation conflict with Cluster X", "UnsLineName not found in draft UNS tree", etc. Operator reviews + clicks "Commit".
+4. **B.4** `FinaliseImportBatch` — atomic finalize. One EF transaction applies accepted rows to `Equipment` + `ExternalIdReservation`; duration bounded regardless of input size (the atomic step is a bulk-insert, not per-row row-by-row). Rollback = drop batch row via `DropImportBatch`; `Equipment` never partially mutates.
+5. **B.5** Five-identifier search. Rank SQL: exact match any identifier = score 100, prefix match = 50, LIKE-fuzzy (opt-in via `?fuzzy=true`) = 20; tie-break `published > draft` then `RowVersion DESC`. Typeahead shows which field matched via trailing badge.
+6. **B.6** Smoke tests: 100-row CSV with 10 conflicts (5 ZTag dupes, 3 reservation clashes, 2 missing UnsLines); 10k-row perf test asserting finalize txn < 30 s; concurrent import + external `ExternalIdReservation` insert test asserts retryable-conflict handling.
+
+### Stream C — Diff viewer enhancements (4 days)
+
+1. **C.1** Refactor `DiffViewer.razor` into a base component + section plugins. Plugins: `StructuralDiffSection` (UNS tree), `EquipmentDiffSection`, `TagDiffSection`, `AclDiffSection` (Phase 6.2), `RedundancyDiffSection` (Phase 6.3), `IdentificationDiffSection`.
+2. **C.2** Each section renders collapsed by default; counts + top-line summary always visible. **1000-row hard cap** per section — over-cap sections render aggregate summary (e.g. "237 equipment re-parented from Packaging to Assembly") with a "Load full diff" button that streams 500-row pages via SignalR.
+3. **C.3** Subtree-rename diffs (decision #115 bulk restructure) surface as summary only by default regardless of row count.
+4. **C.4** Tests: seed two generations with deliberate diffs; assert every section reports the right counts + top-line summary + hard-cap behavior.
+
+### Stream D — OPC 40010 Identification exposure (3 days)
+
+1. **D.1** `IdentificationFields.razor` component. Renders the **9 decision #139 fields**: `Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation, ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri`. Labelled inputs; nullable columns show empty input; required-field validation on commit only.
+2. **D.2** `DriverNodeManager` equipment-folder builder — after building the equipment node, inspect the 9 Identification columns; if any non-null, add an `Identification` sub-folder with variable-per-non-null-field. ACL binding: sub-folder + variables inherit the **same `ScopeId` as the Equipment node** (Phase 6.2's trie treats them as part of the Equipment scope — no new scope level).
+3. **D.3** Address-space smoke test via Client.CLI: browse an equipment node, assert `Identification` sub-folder present when columns are set, absent when all null, variables match the field values.
+4. **D.4** ACL integration test: a user with Equipment-level grant reads the `Identification` variables without needing a separate grant; a user without the Equipment grant gets `BadUserAccessDenied` on both the Equipment node + its Identification variables.
+
+## Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)
+
+- [ ] **UNS drag/move**: drag a line across areas; modal preview shows correct impacted-equipment + impacted-tag counts.
+- [ ] **Concurrent-edit safety**: two-session test — session B saves a draft edit after session A opened the preview; session A's Confirm returns `409 Conflict / refresh-required` instead of overwriting.
+- [ ] **Cross-cluster drop**: dropping equipment across cluster boundaries is disabled + shows actionable toast pointing to Export/Import workflow.
+- [ ] **1000-node tree**: drag operations on a 1000-node seed maintain < 100 ms drag-enter feedback.
+- [ ] **CSV header version**: file missing `# OtOpcUaCsv v1` first line is rejected pre-parse.
+- [ ] **CSV canonical identifier set**: columns match decision #117 (ZTag / MachineCode / SAPID / EquipmentId / EquipmentUuid); drift from the earlier draft surfaces as a test failure.
+- [ ] **Staged-import atomicity**: `FinaliseImportBatch` transaction bounded < 30 s for a 10k-row import; pre-finalize stagings visible only to the importing user; rollback via `DropImportBatch`.
+- [ ] **Concurrent import + external reservation**: concurrent test — third party inserts to `ExternalIdReservation` mid-finalize; finalize retries with conflict handling; no corruption.
+- [ ] **5-identifier search ranking**: exact matches outrank prefix matches; published outranks draft for equal scores.
+- [ ] **Diff viewer section caps**: 2000-row subtree-rename diff renders as summary only; "Load full diff" streams in pages.
+- [ ] **OPC 40010 field list match**: rendered field group matches decision #139 exactly; no extra fields.
+- [ ] **OPC 40010 exposure**: Client.CLI browse shows `Identification` sub-folder when equipment has non-null columns; absent when all null.
+- [ ] **ACL inheritance for Identification**: integration test — Equipment-grant user reads Identification; no-grant user gets `BadUserAccessDenied` on both.
+- [ ] **Visual parity reviewer**: named role (`FleetAdmin` user, not the implementation lead) compares side-by-side against `admin-ui.md` §Visual-Design reference panels; signoff artefact is a checked-in screenshot set under `docs/v2/visual-compliance/phase-6-4/`.

+## Adversarial Review — 2026-04-19 (Codex, via `codex-rescue` subagent)
+
+1. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Stale UNS impact preview can overwrite concurrent draft edits. **Change**: each preview carries a `DraftRevisionToken`; `Confirm` compares against the current draft + rejects with a `409 Conflict / refresh-required` modal if any draft edit landed since the preview was generated. Stream A.3 updated.
+2. **High · ACCEPT** — CSV import atomicity is internally contradictory (single EF transaction vs. chunked inserts). **Change**: one explicit model — staged-import table (`EquipmentImportBatch { Id, CreatedAtUtc, RowsStaged, RowsAccepted, RowsRejected }`) receives rows in chunks; final `FinaliseImportBatch` is atomic over `Equipment` + `ExternalIdReservation`. Rollback is "drop the batch row" — the real Equipment table is never partially mutated.
+3. **Crit · ACCEPT** — Identifier contract rewrite mis-cites decisions. **Change**: revert to the `admin-ui.md` + decision #117 canonical set — `ZTag / MachineCode / SAPID / EquipmentId / EquipmentUuid`. CSV header follows that set verbatim. Introduce a separate decision entry for versioned CSV header shape before adding any new column; CSV header row must start with `# OtOpcUaCsv v1` so future shape changes are unambiguous.
+4. **Med · ACCEPT** — Search ordering undefined. **Change**: rank SQL — exact match on any identifier scores 100; prefix match 50; LIKE-fuzzy 20; published > draft tie-breaker; `ORDER BY score DESC, RowVersion DESC`. Typeahead shows which field matched via trailing badge.
+5. **High · ACCEPT** — HTML5 DnD on virtualized tree is aspirational. **Change**: Stream A.2 rewritten — commits to **`MudBlazor.TreeView` + `MudBlazor.DropTarget`** (already a transitive dep via the existing Admin UI). Build a 1000-node synthetic seed in A.1 + validate drag-latency budget before implementing impact preview. If MudBlazor can't hit the budget, fall back to a flat-list reorder UI with Area/Line dropdowns (loss of visual drag affordance but unblocks the feature).
+6. **Med · ACCEPT** — Collapsed-by-default doesn't handle generation-sized diffs. **Change**: each diff section has a hard row cap (1000 by default). Over-cap sections render an aggregate summary + "Load full diff" button that streams via SignalR in 500-row pages. Decision #115 subtree renames surface as a "N equipment re-parented under X → Y" summary instead of row-by-row.
+7. **High · ACCEPT** — OPC 40010 field list doesn't match decision #139. **Change**: field group realigned to `Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber, HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation, ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri`. `ProductInstanceUri / DeviceRevision / MonthOfConstruction` dropped from Phase 6.4 — they belong to a future OPC 40010 widening decision.
+8. **High · ACCEPT** — `Identification` subtree unreconciled with ACL hierarchy (Phase 6.2 6-level scope). **Change**: address-space builder creates the Identification sub-folder under the Equipment node **with the same ScopeId as Equipment** — no new scope level. ACL evaluator treats `…/Equipment/Identification/X` as inheriting the `Equipment` scope's grants. Documented in Phase 6.2's `acl-design.md` cross-reference update.
+9. **Low · ACCEPT** — Visual-review gate names nonexistent reviewer role. **Change**: rubric defined — a named "Admin UX reviewer" (role `FleetAdmin` user, not the implementation lead) compares side-by-side screenshots against the `admin-ui.md` §Visual-Design reference panels; signoff artefact is a checked-in screenshot set under `docs/v2/visual-compliance/phase-6-4/`.
+10. **Med · ACCEPT** — Cross-cluster drag/drop lacks loud failure path. **Change**: on drop across cluster boundary, disable the drop target + show a toast "Equipment is cluster-scoped (decision #82). To move across clusters, use the Export → Import workflow on the Cluster detail page." Plus a help link. Tested in Stream A.4.

-## 1. Proxy-side `IHistoryProvider` for `ReadAtTime` / `ReadEvents`
+## 1. Proxy-side `IHistoryProvider` for `ReadAtTime` / `ReadEvents` — **DONE (PRs 35 + 38)**
 
-**Status**: Host-side IPC shipped (PR 10 + PR 11). Proxy consumer not written.
+PR 35 extended `IHistoryProvider` with `ReadAtTimeAsync` + `ReadEventsAsync`
+(default throwing implementations so existing impls keep compiling), added the
+`HistoricalEvent` + `HistoricalEventsResult` records to `Core.Abstractions`,
+and implemented both methods in `GalaxyProxyDriver` on top of the PR 10 / PR 11
+IPC messages.
 
-PR 10 added `HistoryReadAtTimeRequest/Response` on the IPC wire and
-`MxAccessGalaxyBackend.HistoryReadAtTimeAsync` delegates to
-`HistorianDataSource.ReadAtTimeAsync`. PR 11 did the same for events
-(`HistoryReadEventsRequest/Response` + `GalaxyHistoricalEvent`). The Proxy
-side (`GalaxyProxyDriver`) doesn't call those yet — `Core.Abstractions.IHistoryProvider`
-only exposes `ReadRawAsync` + `ReadProcessedAsync`.
+PR 38 wired the OPC UA HistoryRead service-handler through
+`DriverNodeManager` by overriding `CustomNodeManager2`'s four per-kind hooks —
+`HistoryReadRawModified` / `HistoryReadProcessed` / `HistoryReadAtTime` /
+`HistoryReadEvents`. Each walks `nodesToProcess`, resolves the driver-side
+full reference from `NodeId.Identifier`, dispatches to the right
+`IHistoryProvider` method, and populates the paired results + errors lists
+(both must be set — the MasterNodeManager merges them and a Good result with
+an unset error slot serializes as `BadHistoryOperationUnsupported` on the
+wire). Historized variables gain `AccessLevels.HistoryRead` so the stack
+dispatches; the driver root folder gains `EventNotifiers.HistoryRead` so
+`HistoryReadEvents` can target it.
 
-**To do**:
-- Extend `IHistoryProvider` with `ReadAtTimeAsync(string, DateTime[], …)` and
-  `ReadEventsAsync(string?, DateTime, DateTime, int, …)`.
-- `GalaxyProxyDriver` calls the new IPC message kinds.
-- `DriverNodeManager` wires the new capability methods onto `HistoryRead`
-  `AtTime` + `Events` service handlers.
-- Integration test: OPC UA client calls `HistoryReadAtTime` / `HistoryReadEvents`,
-  value flows through IPC to the Host's `HistorianDataSource`, back to the client.
+Aggregate translation uses a small `MapAggregate` helper that handles
+`Average` / `Minimum` / `Maximum` / `Total` / `Count` (the enum surface the
+driver exposes) and returns null for unsupported aggregates so the handler
+can surface `BadAggregateNotSupported`. Raw+Processed+AtTime wrap driver
+samples as `HistoryData` in an `ExtensionObject`; Events emits a
+`HistoryEvent` with the standard BaseEventType field list (EventId /
+SourceName / Message / Severity / Time / ReceiveTime) — custom
+`SelectClause` evaluation is an explicit follow-up.
 
-## 2. Write-gating by role
+**Tests**:
 
-**Status**: `RoleBasedIdentity.Roles` populated on the session (PR 19) but
-`DriverNodeManager.OnWriteValue` doesn't consult it.
+- `DriverNodeManagerHistoryMappingTests` — 12 unit cases pinning
+  `MapAggregate`, `BuildHistoryData`, `BuildHistoryEvent`, `ToDataValue`.
+- `HistoryReadIntegrationTests` — 5 end-to-end cases drive a real OPC UA
+  client (`Session.HistoryRead`) against a fake `IHistoryProvider` driver
+  through the running stack. Covers raw round-trip, processed with Average
+  aggregate, unsupported aggregate → `BadAggregateNotSupported`, at-time
+  timestamp forwarding, and events field-list shape.
 
-CLAUDE.md defines the role set: `ReadOnly` / `WriteOperate` / `WriteTune` /
-`WriteConfigure` / `AlarmAck`. Each `DriverAttributeInfo.SecurityClassification`
-maps to a required role for writes.
+**Deferred**:
+- Continuation-point plumbing via `Session.Save/RestoreHistoryContinuationPoint`.
+  Driver returns null continuations today so the pass-through is fine.
+- Per-`SelectClause` evaluation in HistoryReadEvents — clients that send a
+  custom field selection currently get the standard BaseEventType layout.
 
-**To do**:
-- Add a `RoleRequirements` table: `SecurityClassification` → required role.
-- `OnWriteValue` reads `context.UserIdentity` → cast to `RoleBasedIdentity`
-  → check role membership before calling `IWritable.WriteAsync`. Return
-  `BadUserAccessDenied` on miss.
-- Unit test against a fake `ISystemContext` with varying role sets.
+## 2. Write-gating by role — **DONE (PR 26)**
 
-## 3. Admin UI client-cert trust management
+Landed in PR 26. `WriteAuthzPolicy` in `Server/Security/` maps
+`SecurityClassification` → required role (`FreeAccess` → no role required,
+`Operate`/`SecuredWrite` → `WriteOperate`, `Tune` → `WriteTune`,
+`Configure`/`VerifiedWrite` → `WriteConfigure`, `ViewOnly` → deny regardless).
+`DriverNodeManager` caches the classification per variable during discovery and
+checks the session's roles (via `IRoleBearer`) in `OnWriteValue` before calling
+`IWritable.WriteAsync`. Roles do not cascade — a session with `WriteOperate`
+can't write a `Tune` attribute unless it also carries `WriteTune`.
 
-**Status**: Server side auto-accepts untrusted client certs when the
-`AutoAcceptUntrustedClientCertificates` option is true (dev default).
-Production deployments want operator-controlled trust via the Admin UI.
+See `feedback_acl_at_server_layer.md` in memory for the architectural directive
+that authz stays at the server layer and never delegates to driver-specific auth.
 
-**To do**:
-- Surface the server's rejected-certificate store in the Admin UI.
-- Page to move certs between `rejected` / `trusted`.
-- Flip `AutoAcceptUntrustedClientCertificates` to false once Admin UI is the
-  trust gate.
+## 3. Admin UI client-cert trust management — **DONE (PR 28)**
 
-## 4. Live-LDAP integration test
+PR 28 shipped `/certificates` in the Admin UI. `CertTrustService` reads the OPC
+UA server's PKI store root (`OpcUaServerOptions.PkiStoreRoot` — default
+`%ProgramData%\OtOpcUa\pki`) and lists rejected + trusted certs by parsing the
+`.der` files directly, so it has no `Opc.Ua` dependency and runs on any
+Admin host that can reach the shared PKI directory.
 
-**Status**: PR 19 unit-tested the auth-flow shape; the live bind path is
-exercised only by the pre-existing `Admin.Tests/LdapLiveBindTests.cs` which
-uses the same Novell library against a running GLAuth at `localhost:3893`.
+Operator actions: Trust (moves `rejected/certs/*.der` → `trusted/certs/*.der`),
+Delete rejected, Revoke trust. The OPC UA stack re-reads the trusted store on
+each new client handshake, so no explicit reload signal is needed —
+operators retry the rejected client's connection after trusting.
 
-**To do**:
-- Add `OpcUaServerIntegrationTests.Valid_username_authenticates_against_live_ldap`
-  with the same skip-when-unreachable guard.
-- Assert `session.Identity` on the server side carries the expected role
-  after bind — requires exposing a test hook or reading identity from a
-  new `IHostConnectivityProbe`-style "whoami" variable in the address space.
+Deferred: flipping `AutoAcceptUntrustedClientCertificates` to `false` as the
+deployment default. That's a production-hardening config change, not a code
+gap — the Admin UI is now ready to be the trust gate.
 
-## 5. Full Galaxy live-service smoke test against the merged v2 stack
+## 4. Live-LDAP integration test — **DONE (PR 31)**
 
-**Status**: Individual pieces have live smoke tests (PR 5 MXAccess, PR 13
-probe manager, PR 14 alarm tracker), but the full loop — OPC UA client →
-`OtOpcUaServer` → `GalaxyProxyDriver` (in-process) → named-pipe to
-Galaxy.Host subprocess → live MXAccess runtime → real Galaxy objects — has
-no single end-to-end smoke test.
+PR 31 shipped `Server.Tests/LdapUserAuthenticatorLiveTests.cs` — 6 live-bind
+tests against the dev GLAuth instance at `localhost:3893`, skipped cleanly
+when the port is unreachable. Covers: valid bind, wrong password, unknown
+user, empty credentials, single-group → WriteOperate mapping, multi-group
+admin user surfacing all mapped roles.
 
-**To do**:
-- Test that spawns the full topology, discovers a deployed Galaxy object,
-  subscribes to one of its attributes, writes a value back, and asserts the
-  write round-tripped through MXAccess. Skip when ArchestrA isn't running.
+Also added `UserNameAttribute` to `LdapOptions` (default `uid` for RFC 2307
+compat) so Active Directory deployments can configure `sAMAccountName` /
+`userPrincipalName` without code changes. `LdapUserAuthenticatorAdCompatTests`
+(5 unit guards) pins the AD-shape DN parsing + filter escape behaviors. See
+`docs/security.md` §"Active Directory configuration" for the AD appsettings
+snippet.
 
-## 6. Second driver instance on the same server
+Deferred: asserting `session.Identity` end-to-end on the server side (i.e.
+drive a full OPC UA session with username/password, then read an
+`IHostConnectivityProbe`-style "whoami" node to verify the role surfaced).
+That needs a test-only address-space node and is a separate PR.
 
-**Status**: `DriverHost.RegisterAsync` supports multiple drivers; the OPC UA
-server creates one `DriverNodeManager` per driver and isolates their
-subtrees under distinct namespace URIs. Not proven with two active
-`GalaxyProxyDriver` instances pointing at different Galaxies.
+## 5. Full Galaxy live-service smoke test against the merged v2 stack — **IN PROGRESS (PRs 36 + 37)**
 
-**To do**:
-- Integration test that registers two driver instances, each with a distinct
-  `DriverInstanceId` + endpoint in its own session, asserts nodes from both
-  appear under the correct subtrees, alarm events land on the correct
-  instance's condition nodes.
+PR 36 shipped the prerequisites helper (`AvevaPrerequisites`) that probes
+every dependency a live smoke test needs and produces actionable skip
+messages.
 
-## 7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard
+PR 37 shipped the live-stack smoke test project structure:
+`tests/Driver.Galaxy.Proxy.Tests/LiveStack/` with `LiveStackFixture` (connects
+to the *already-running* `OtOpcUaGalaxyHost` Windows service via named pipe;
+never spawns the Host process) and `LiveStackSmokeTests` covering:
 
-**Status**: PR 13 ships per-platform/per-AppEngine `ScanState` probing; PR 17
-surfaces the resulting `OnHostStatusChanged` events through OPC UA. Admin
-UI doesn't render a per-host dashboard yet.
+- Fixture initializes successfully (IPC handshake succeeds end-to-end).
+- Driver reports `DriverState.Healthy` post-handshake.
+- `DiscoverAsync` returns at least one variable from the live Galaxy.
+- `GetHostStatuses` reports at least one Platform/AppEngine host.
+- `ReadAsync` on a discovered variable round-trips through
+  Proxy → Host pipe → MXAccess → back without a BadInternalError.
 
-**To do**:
-- SignalR hub push of `HostStatusChangedEventArgs` to the Admin UI.
-- Dashboard page showing each tracked host, current state, last transition
-  time, failure count.
+Shared secret + pipe name resolve from `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET` /
+`OTOPCUA_GALAXY_PIPE` env vars, falling back to reading the service's
+registry-stored Environment values (requires elevated test host).
+
+**PR 40** added the write + subscribe facts targeting
+`DelmiaReceiver_001.TestAttribute` (the writable Boolean UDA the dev Galaxy
+ships under TestMachine_001) — write-then-read with a 5s scan-window poll +
+restore-on-finally, and subscribe-then-write asserting both an initial-value
+OnDataChange and a post-write OnDataChange. PR 39 added the elevated-shell
+short-circuit so a developer running from an admin window gets an actionable
+skip instead of `UnauthorizedAccessException`.
+
+**Run the live tests** (from a NORMAL non-admin PowerShell):
+
+```powershell
+$env:OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET = Get-Content C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\lmxopcua\.local\galaxy-host-secret.txt
+cd C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\lmxopcua
+dotnet test tests\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Galaxy.Proxy.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~LiveStackSmokeTests"
+```
+
+Expected: 7/7 pass against the running `OtOpcUaGalaxyHost` service.
+
+**Remaining for #5 in production-grade form**:
+- Confirm the suite passes from a non-elevated shell (operator action).
+- Add similar facts for an alarm-source attribute once `TestMachine_001` (or
+  a sibling) carries a deployed alarm condition — the current dev Galaxy's
+  TestAttribute isn't alarm-flagged.
+
+## 6. Second driver instance on the same server — **DONE (PR 32)**
+
+`Server.Tests/MultipleDriverInstancesIntegrationTests.cs` registers two
+drivers with distinct `DriverInstanceId`s on one `DriverHost`, spins up the
+full OPC UA server, and asserts three behaviors: (1) each driver's namespace
+URI (`urn:OtOpcUa:{id}`) resolves to a distinct index in the client's
+NamespaceUris, (2) browsing one subtree returns that driver's folder and
+does NOT leak the other driver's folder, (3) reads route to the correct
+driver — the alpha instance returns 42 while beta returns 99, so a misroute
+would surface at the assertion layer.
+
+Deferred: the alarm-event multi-driver parity case (two drivers each raising
+a `GalaxyAlarmEvent`, assert each condition lands on its owning instance's
+condition node). Alarm tracking already has its own integration test
+(`AlarmSubscription*`); the multi-driver alarm case would need a stub
+`IAlarmSource` that's worth its own focused PR.
+
+## 7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard — **DONE (PRs 33 + 34)**
+
+**PR 33** landed the data layer: `DriverHostStatus` entity + migration with
+composite key `(NodeId, DriverInstanceId, HostName)` and two query-supporting
+indexes (per-cluster drill-down on `NodeId`, stale-row detection on
+`LastSeenUtc`).
+
+**PR 34** wired the publisher + consumer. `HostStatusPublisher` is a
+`BackgroundService` in the Server process that walks every registered
+`IHostConnectivityProbe`-capable driver every 10s, calls
+`GetHostStatuses()`, and upserts rows (`LastSeenUtc` advances each tick;
+`State` + `StateChangedUtc` update on transitions). Admin UI `/hosts` page
+groups by cluster, shows four summary cards (Hosts / Running / Stale /
+Faulted), and flags rows whose `LastSeenUtc` is older than 30s as Stale so
+operators see crashed Servers without waiting for a state change.
+
+Deferred as follow-ups:
+
+- Event-driven push (subscribe to `OnHostStatusChanged` per driver for
+  sub-heartbeat latency). Adds DriverHost lifecycle-event plumbing;
+  10s polling is fine for operator-scale use.
+- Failure-count column — needs the publisher to track a transition history
+  per host, not just current-state.
+- SignalR fan-out to the Admin page (currently the page polls the DB, not
+  a hub). The DB-polled version is fine at current cadence but a hub push
+  would eliminate the 10s race where a new row sits in the DB before the
+  Admin page notices.

+## Models and server/client capability
+

+|------------------------|----------|-------------------|-------------------|--------|
+| `QJ71MT91`             | MELSEC-Q | Yes (slave)       | Yes (master)      | [9]    |
+| `QJ71MB91`             | MELSEC-Q | **Serial only** — RS-232/422/485 RTU, *not TCP* | — | [1][3] |
+| `LJ71MT91`             | MELSEC-L | Yes (slave)       | Yes (master)      | [10]   |
+| `RJ71EN71` / `RnENCPU` | MELSEC iQ-R | Yes (slave)    | Yes (master)      | [8]    |
+| `RJ71C24` / `RJ71C24-R2` | MELSEC iQ-R | RTU (serial)  | RTU (serial)      | [13]   |
+| iQ-R built-in Ethernet | CPU      | Yes (slave)       | Yes (master)      | [7]    |
+| iQ-F `FX5U` built-in Ethernet | CPU | Yes, firmware ≥ 1.060 [11] | Yes | [7][11][12] |
+| `FX3U-ENET`            | FX3U bolt-on | Yes (slave), but **not on port 502** [5] | Yes | [4][5] |
+| `FX3U-ENET-P502`       | FX3U bolt-on | Yes (slave), port 502 enabled | Yes | [5] |
+| `FX3U-ENET-ADP`        | FX3U adapter | **No MODBUS** [5] | No MODBUS     | [5]    |
+| `FX3GE` built-in       | FX3GE CPU | No MODBUS (needs ENET module) [6] | No | [6] |
+| `FX3G` + `FX3U-ENET`   | FX3G | Yes via ENET module | Yes | [6] |
+
+- A common integration mistake is to buy `FX3U-ENET-ADP` expecting MODBUS —
+  that adapter speaks only MC protocol / SLMP. Our driver should surface a clear
+  capability error, not "connection refused", when the operator's device tag
+  says `FX3U-ENET-ADP` [5].
+- Older forum threads assert the FX5U is "client only" [12] — that was true on
+  firmware ≤ 1.040. Firmware 1.060 and later ship the parameter-driven MODBUS
+  TCP server built-in and need no function blocks [11].
+
+## Modbus device assignment (the parameter block)
+
+Unlike a DL260 where the CPU exposes a *fixed* V-memory-to-Modbus mapping, every
+MELSEC MODBUS-TCP module exposes a **Modbus Device Assignment Parameter** block
+that the engineer configures in GX Works2 / GX Configurator-MB / GX Works3.
+Each of the four Modbus tables (Coil, Input, Input Register, Holding Register)
+can be split into up to 16 independent "assignment" entries, each binding a
+contiguous Modbus address range to a MELSEC device head (`M0`, `D0`, `X0`,
+`Y0`, `B0`, `W0`, `SM0`, `SD0`, `R0`, etc.) and a point count [3][7][8][9].
+
+- **There is no canonical "MELSEC Modbus mapping"**. Two sites running the same
+  QJ71MT91 module can expose completely different Modbus layouts. Our driver
+  must treat the mapping as site-data (config-file-driven), not as a device
+  profile constant.
+- **Default values do exist** — both GX Configurator-MB (for Q/L series) and
+  GX Works3 (for iQ-R / iQ-F / FX5) ship a "dedicated pattern" default that is
+  applied when the engineer does not override the assignment. Per the FX5
+  MODBUS Communication manual (JY997D56101) and the QJ71MT91 manual, the FX5
+  dedicated default is [3][7][11]:
+
+  | Modbus table       | Modbus range (0-based) | MELSEC device | Head |
+  |--------------------|------------------------|---------------|------|
+  | Coil (FC01/05/15)  | 0 – 7679               | M             | M0   |
+  | Coil               | 8192 – 8959            | Y             | Y0   |
+  | Input (FC02)       | 0 – 7679               | M             | M0   |
+  | Input              | 8192 – 8959            | X             | X0   |
+  | Input Register (FC04) | 0 – 6143            | D             | D0   |
+  | Holding Register (FC03/06/16) | 0 – 6143    | D             | D0   |
+
+  This matches the widely circulated "FC03 @ 0 = D0" convention that shows up
+  in Ubidots / Ignition / AdvancedHMI integration guides [6][12].
+
+- **X/Y in the default mapping occupy a second, non-zero Modbus range** (8192+
+  on FX5; similar on Q/L/iQ-R). Driver users who expect "X0 = coil 0" will be
+  reading M0 instead. Document this clearly.
+- **Assignment-range collisions silently disable the slave.** The QJ71MT91
+  manual states explicitly that if any two of assignments 1-16 duplicate the
+  head Modbus device number, the slave function is inactive with no clear
+  error — the module just won't respond [9]. The driver probe will look like a
+  simple timeout; the site engineer has to open GX Configurator-MB to diagnose.
+
+Test names:
+`Mitsubishi_FX5U_default_mapping_coil_0_is_M0`,
+`Mitsubishi_FX5U_default_mapping_holding_0_is_D0`,
+`Mitsubishi_QJ71MT91_duplicate_assignment_head_disables_slave`.
+
+## X/Y addressing — hex on MELSEC, decimal on Modbus
+
+**MELSEC X (input) and Y (output) device numbers are hexadecimal on Q / L /
+iQ-R** and **octal** on FX / iQ-F (with a GX Works3 toggle) [14][15].
+
+- On a Q CPU, `X20` means decimal **32**, not 20. On an FX5U in default (octal)
+  mode, `X20` means decimal **16**. GX Works3 exposes a project-level option to
+  display FX5U X/Y in hex to match Q/L/iQ-R convention — the same physical
+  input is then called `X10` [14].
+- The Modbus Device Assignment Parameter block takes the *head device* as a
+  MELSEC-native number, which is interpreted in the CPU's native base
+  (hex for Q/L/iQ-R, octal for FX/iQ-F). After that, **Modbus offsets from
+  the head are plain decimal** — the module does not apply a second hex
+  conversion [3][9].
+- Example (QJ71MT91 on a Q CPU): assignment "Coil 0 = X0, 512 points" exposes
+  physical `X0` through `X1FF` (hex) as coils 0-511. A client reading coil 32
+  gets the bit `X20` (hex) — i.e. the 33rd input, not the value at "input 20"
+  that the operator wrote on the wiring diagram in decimal.
+- **Driver bug source**: if the operator's tag configuration says "read X20" and
+  the driver helpfully converts "20" to decimal 20 → coil offset 20, the
+  returned bit is actually `X14` (hex) — off by twelve. Our config layer must
+  preserve the MELSEC-native base that the site engineer sees in GX Works.
+- Timers/counters (`T`, `C`, `ST`) are always decimal in MELSEC notation.
+  Internal relays (`M`, `B`, `L`), data registers (`D`, `W`, `R`, `ZR`),
+  and special relays/registers (`SM`, `SD`) also decimal. **Only `X` and `Y`
+  (and on Q/L/iQ-R, `B` link relays and `W` link registers) use hex**, and
+  the X/Y decision is itself family-dependent [14][15].
+
+Test names:
+`Mitsubishi_Q_X_address_is_hex_X20_equals_coil_offset_32`,
+`Mitsubishi_FX5U_X_address_is_octal_X20_equals_coil_offset_16`,
+`Mitsubishi_W_link_register_is_hex_W10_equals_holding_offset_16`.
+
+## Word order for 32-bit values
+
+MELSEC stores 32-bit ladder values (`DINT`, `DWORD`, `REAL` / single-precision
+float) across **two consecutive D-registers, low word first** — i.e., `CDAB`
+when viewed as a Modbus register pair [2][6].
+
+```
+D100 (low word)  : 0xCC 0xDD   (big-endian bytes within the word)
+D101 (high word) : 0xAA 0xBB
+```
+
+A Modbus master reading D100/D101 as a `float` with default (ABCD) word order
+gets garbage. Ignition's built-in Modbus driver notes Mitsubishi as a "CDAB
+device" specifically for this reason [2].
+
+- **Q / L / iQ-R / iQ-F all agree** — this is a CPU-level convention, not a
+  module choice. Both the QJ71MT91 manual and the FX5 MODBUS Communication
+  manual describe 32-bit access by "reading the lower 16 bits from the start
+  address and the upper 16 bits from start+1" [6][11].
+- **Byte order within each register is big-endian** (Modbus standard). The
+  module does not byte-swap.
+- **Configurable?** The MODBUS modules themselves do **not** expose a word-
+  order toggle; the behavior is fixed to how the CPU laid out the value in the
+  two D-registers. If the ladder programmer used an `SWAP` instruction or a
+  union-style assignment, the word order can be whatever they made it — but
+  for values produced by the standard `D→DBL` and `FLT`/`FLT2` instructions
+  it is always CDAB [2].
+- **FX5U quirk**: the FX5 MODBUS Communication manual tells the programmer to
+  use the `SWAP` instruction *if* the remote Modbus peer requires
+  little-endian *byte* ordering (BADC) [11]. This is only relevant when the
+  FX5U is the Modbus *client*, but it confirms the FX5U's native wire layout
+  is big-endian-byte / little-endian-word (CDAB) on the server side too.
+- **Rumoured exception**: a handful of MrPLC forum threads report iQ-R
+  RJ71EN71 firmware < 1.05 returning DWORDs in `ABCD` order when accessed via
+  the built-in Ethernet port's MODBUS slave [8]. _Unconfirmed_; treat as a
+  per-site test.

+Test names:
+`Mitsubishi_Float32_word_order_is_CDAB`,
+`Mitsubishi_Int32_word_order_is_CDAB`,
+`Mitsubishi_FX5U_SWAP_instruction_changes_byte_order_not_word_order`.
+
+## BCD vs binary encoding
+
+**MELSEC stores integer values in D-registers as plain binary two's-complement**,
+not BCD [16]. This is the opposite of AutomationDirect DirectLOGIC, where
+V-memory defaults to BCD and the ladder must explicitly request binary.
+
+- A ladder `MOV K1234 D100` stores `0x04D2` (1234 decimal) in D100, not
+  `0x1234`. The Modbus master reads `0x04D2` and decodes it as an integer
+  directly — no BCD conversion needed [16].
+- **Timer / counter current values** (`T0` current value, `C0` count) are
+  stored in binary as word devices on Q/L/iQ-R/iQ-F. The ladder preset
+  (`K...`) is also binary [16][17].
+- **Timer / counter preset `K` operand in FX3U / earlier FX**: also binary when
+  loaded from a D-register or a `K` constant. The older A-series CPUs had BCD
+  presets on some timer types, but MELSEC-Q, L, iQ-R, iQ-F, and FX3U all use
+  binary presets by default [17].
+- The FX3U programming manual dedicates `FNC 18 BCD` and `FNC 19 BIN` to
+  explicit conversion — their existence confirms that anything in D-registers
+  that came from a `BCD` instruction output is BCD, but nothing is BCD by
+  default [17].
+- **7-segment display registers** are a common site-specific exception — many
+  ladders pack `BCD D100` into a D-register so the operator panel can drive
+  a display directly. Our driver should not assume; expose a per-tag
+  "encoding = binary | BCD" knob.
+
+Test names:
+`Mitsubishi_D_register_stores_binary_not_BCD`,
+`Mitsubishi_FX3U_timer_current_value_is_binary`.

+## Exception codes
+
+MELSEC MODBUS modules return **only the standard Modbus exception codes 01-04**;
+no proprietary exception codes are exposed on the wire [8][9][11]. Module-
+internal diagnostics (buffer-memory error codes like `7380H`) are logged but
+not returned as Modbus exceptions.
+
+| Code | Name                 | MELSEC trigger                                          |
+|------|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
+| 01   | Illegal Function     | FC17 or FC16 on QJ71MT91/FX3U; FC08 (Diagnostics); FC43 |
+| 02   | Illegal Data Address | Modbus address outside any assignment range             |
+| 03   | Illegal Data Value   | Quantity out of per-FC range (see table above); odd coil-byte count |
+| 04   | Server Device Failure | See below                                              |
+
+- **04 (Server Failure) triggers on MELSEC**:
+    - CPU in STOP or PAUSE during a write to an assignment whose "Access from
+      External Device" permission is set to "Disabled in STOP" [9][11].
+      *With the default "always enabled" setting the write succeeds in STOP
+      mode* — another common trap.
+    - CPU errors (parameter error, watchdog) during any access.
+    - Assignment points to a device range that is not configured (e.g. write
+      to `D16384` when CPU D-device size is 12288).
+- **Write to a "System Area" device** (e.g., `SD` special registers that are
+  CPU-reserved read-only) returns `04`, not `02`, on QJ71MT91 and iQ-R — the
+  assignment is valid, the device exists, but the CPU rejects the write [8][9].
+- **FX3U-ENET / -P502** returns `04` on any write attempt while the CPU is in
+  STOP, regardless of permission settings — the older firmware does not
+  implement the "Access from External Device" granularity that Q/L/iQ-R/iQ-F
+  expose [4].
+- **No rumour of proprietary codes 05-0B** from MELSEC; operators sometimes
+  report "exception 0A" but those traces all came from a third-party gateway
+  sitting between the master and the MELSEC module.

+## Connection behavior
+
+Max simultaneous Modbus TCP clients, per module [7][8][9][11]:
+
+| Model                | Max TCP connections | Port 502 | Keepalive | Source |
+|----------------------|---------------------|----------|-----------|--------|
+| `QJ71MT91`           | 16 (shared with master role) | Yes | No | [9]    |
+| `LJ71MT91`           | 16                  | Yes      | No        | [10]   |
+| iQ-R built-in / `RJ71EN71` | 16            | Yes      | Configurable (KeepAlive = ON in parameter) | [8] |
+| iQ-F `FX5U` built-in | 8                   | Yes      | Configurable | [7][11] |
+| `FX3U-ENET`          | 8 TCP, but **not port 502** | No (port < 1024 blocked) | No | [4][5] |
+| `FX3U-ENET-P502`     | 8, port 502 enabled | Yes      | No        | [5]    |
+
+- **QJ71MT91's 16 is total connections shared between slave-listen and
+  master-initiated sockets** [9]. A site that uses the same module as both
+  master to downstream VFDs and slave to upstream SCADA splits the 16 pool.
+- **FX3U-ENET port-502 gotcha**: if the engineer loads a configuration with
+  port 502 into a non-P502 ENET module, GX Works shows the download as
+  successful; on next power cycle the module enters error state and the
+  MODBUS listener never starts. This is documented on third-party FX3G
+  integration guides [6].
+- **CPU STOP → RUN transition**: does **not** drop Modbus connections on any
+  MELSEC family. Existing sockets stay open; outstanding requests during the
+  transition may see exception 04 for a few scans but then resume [8][9].
+- **CPU reset (power cycle or `SM1255` forced reset)** drops all Modbus
+  connections and the module re-listens after typically 5-10 seconds.
+- **Idle timeout**: QJ71MT91 and iQ-R have a per-connection "Alive-Check"
+  (idle timer) parameter, default 0 (disabled). If enabled, default 10 s
+  probe interval, 3 retries before close [8][9]. FX5U similar defaults.
+- **Keep-alive (TCP-level)**: only iQ-R / iQ-F expose a TCP keep-alive option
+  (parameter "KeepAlive" in the Ethernet settings); QJ71MT91 and FX3U-ENET
+  do not — so NAT/firewall idle drops require driver-side pinging.

+
+## Behavioral oddities
+
+- **Transaction ID echo**: QJ71MT91 and iQ-R reliably echo the MBAP TxId on
+  every response across firmware revisions; no reports of TxId drops under
+  load [8][9]. FX3U-ENET has an older, less-tested TCP stack; at least one
+  MrPLC thread reports out-of-order TxId echoes under heavy polling on
+  firmware < 1.14 [4]. _Unconfirmed_ on current firmware.
+- **Per-connection request serialization**: all MELSEC slaves serialize
+  requests within a single TCP connection — a new request is not processed
+  until the prior response has been sent. Pipelining multiple requests on one
+  socket causes the module to queue them in buffer memory and respond in
+  order, but **the queue depth is 1** on QJ71MT91 (a second in-flight request
+  is held on the TCP receive buffer, not queued) [9]. Driver should treat
+  Mitsubishi slaves as strictly single-flight per socket.
+- **Partial-frame handling**: QJ71MT91 and iQ-R close the socket on malformed
+  MBAP length fields. FX5U resynchronises at the next valid MBAP header
+  within 100 ms but will emit an error to `SD` diagnostics [11]. Driver must
+  reconnect on half-close and replay.
+- **FX3U UDP vs TCP**: `FX3U-ENET` supports both UDP and TCP MODBUS transports;
+  UDP is lossy and reorders under load. Default is TCP. Some legacy SCADA
+  configurations pinned the module to UDP for multicast discovery — do not
+  select UDP unless the site requires it [4].
+- **Known firmware-revision variants**:
+    - QJ71MT91 ≤ firmware 10052000000 (year-month format): FC15 with coil
+      count that forces byte-count to an odd value silently truncates the
+      last coil. Fixed in later revisions [9]. _Operator-reported_.
+    - FX5U firmware < 1.060: no native MODBUS TCP server — only accessible via
+      a predefined-protocol function block hack. Firmware ≥ 1.060 ships
+      parameter-based server. Our capability probe should read `SD203`
+      (firmware version) and flag < 1.060 as unsupported for server mode [11][12].
+    - iQ-R RJ71EN71 early firmware: possible ABCD word order (rumoured,
+      unconfirmed) [8].
+- **SD (special-register) reads during assignment-parameter load**: while
+  the CPU is loading a new MODBUS device assignment parameter (~1-2 s), the
+  slave returns exception 04 Server Failure on every request. Happens after
+  a parameter write from GX Configurator-MB [9].
+- **iQ-R "Station-based block transfer" collision**: if the RJ71EN71 is also
+  running CC-Link IE Control on the same module, a MODBUS/TCP request that
+  arrives during a CCIE cyclic period is delayed to the next scan — visible
+  as jittery response time, not a failure [8].

+## Model-specific differences for test coverage

+Summary of which quirks differ per model, so test-class naming can reflect them:

+# Modbus driver — test plan + device-quirk catalog
+
+The Modbus TCP driver unit tests (PRs 21–24) cover the protocol surface against an
+in-memory fake transport. They validate the codec, state machine, and function-code
+routing against a textbook Modbus server. That's necessary but not sufficient: real PLC
+populations disagree with the spec in small, device-specific ways, and a driver that
+passes textbook tests can still misbehave against actual equipment.
+
+This doc is the harness-and-quirks playbook. The project it describes lives at
+`tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Modbus.IntegrationTests/` — scaffolded in PR 30 with
+the simulator fixture, DL205 profile stub, and one write/read smoke test. Each
+confirmed DL205 quirk lands in a follow-up PR as a named test in that project.
+
+## Harness
+
+**Chosen simulator: pymodbus 3.13.0** (`pip install 'pymodbus[simulator]==3.13.0'`).
+Replaced ModbusPal in PR 43 — see `tests/.../Pymodbus/README.md` for the
+trade-off rationale. Headline reasons:
+
+- **Headless** pure-Python CLI; no Java GUI, runs cleanly on a CI runner.
+- **Maintained** — current stable 3.13.0; ModbusPal 1.6b is abandoned.
+- **All four standard tables** (HR, IR, coils, DI) configurable; ModbusPal
+  1.6b only exposed HR + coils.
+- **Built-in actions** (`increment`, `random`, `timestamp`, `uptime`) +
+  optional custom-Python actions for declarative dynamic behaviors.
+- **Per-register raw uint16 seeding** — encoding the DL205 string-byte-order
+  / BCD / CDAB-float quirks stays explicit (the quirk math lives in the
+  `_quirk` JSON-comment fields next to each register).
+- Pip-installable on Windows; sidesteps the privileged-port admin
+  requirement by defaulting to TCP **5020** instead of 502.
+
+**Setup pattern**:
+1. `pip install "pymodbus[simulator]==3.13.0"`.
+2. Start the simulator with one of the in-repo profiles:
+   `tests\.../Pymodbus\serve.ps1 -Profile standard` (or `-Profile dl205`).
+3. `dotnet test tests\ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Modbus.IntegrationTests` —
+   tests auto-skip when the endpoint is unreachable. Default endpoint is
+   `localhost:5020`; override via `MODBUS_SIM_ENDPOINT` for a real PLC on its
+   native port 502.
+
+## Per-device quirk catalog
+
+### AutomationDirect DL205 / DL260
+
+First known target device family. **Full quirk catalog with primary-source citations
+and per-quirk integration-test names lives at [`dl205.md`](dl205.md)** — that doc is
+the reference; this section is the testing roadmap.
+
+Confirmed quirks (priority order — top items are highest-impact for our driver
+and ship first as PR 41+):
+
+| Quirk | Driver impact | Integration-test name |
+|---|---|---|
+| **String packing**: 2 chars/register, **first char in low byte** (opposite of generic Modbus) | `ModbusDataType.String` decoder must be configurable per-device family — current code assumes high-byte-first | `DL205_String_low_byte_first_within_register` |
+| **Word order CDAB** for Int32/UInt32/Float32 | Already configurable via `ModbusByteOrder.WordSwap`; default per device profile | `DL205_Int32_word_order_is_CDAB` |
+| **BCD-as-default** numeric storage (only IEEE 754 when ladder uses `R` type) | New decoder mode — register reads as `0x1234` for ladder value `1234`, not as decimal `4660` | `DL205_BCD_register_decodes_as_hex_nibbles` |
+| **FC16 capped at 100 registers** (below the spec's 123) | Bulk-write batching must cap per-device-family | `DL205_FC16_101_registers_returns_IllegalDataValue` |
+| **FC03/04 capped at 128** (above the spec's 125) | Less impactful — clients that respect the spec's 125 stay safe | `DL205_FC03_129_registers_returns_IllegalDataValue` |
+| **V-memory octal-to-decimal addressing** (V2000 octal → 0x0400 decimal) | New address-format helper in profile config so operators can write `V2000` instead of computing `1024` themselves | `DL205_Vmem_V2000_maps_to_PDU_0x0400` |
+| **C-relay → coil 3072 / Y-output → coil 2048** offsets | Hard-coded constants in DL205 device profile | `DL205_C0_maps_to_coil_3072`, `DL205_Y0_maps_to_coil_2048` |
+| **Register 0 is valid** (rejects-register-0 rumour was DL05/DL06 relative-mode artefact) | None — current default is safe | `DL205_FC03_register_0_returns_V0_contents` |
+| **Max 4 simultaneous TCP clients** on H2-ECOM100 | Connect-time: handle TCP-accept failure with a clearer error message | `DL205_5th_TCP_connection_refused` |
+| **No TCP keepalive** | Driver-side periodic-probe (already wired via `IHostConnectivityProbe`) | _Covered by existing `ModbusProbeTests`_ |
+| **No mid-stream resync on malformed MBAP** | Already covered — single-flight + reconnect-on-error | _Covered by existing `ModbusDriverTests`_ |
+| **Write-protect exception code: `02` newer / `04` older** | Translate either to `BadNotWritable` | `DL205_FC06_in_ProgramMode_returns_ServerFailure` |
+
+_Operator-reported / unconfirmed_ — covered defensively in the driver but no
+integration tests until reproduced on hardware:
+- TxId drop under load (forum rumour; not reproduced).
+- Pre-2004 firmware ABCD word order (every shipped DL205/DL260 since 2004 is CDAB).
+
+### Future devices
+
+One section per device class, same shape as DL205. Quirks that apply across
+multiple devices (e.g., "all AB PLCs use CDAB") can be noted in the cross-device
+patterns section below once we have enough data points.
+
+## Cross-device patterns
+
+Once multiple device catalogs accumulate, quirks that recur across two or more
+vendors get promoted into driver defaults or opt-in options:
+
+- _(empty — filled in as catalogs grow)_
+
+## Test conventions
+
+- **One named test per quirk.** `DL205_word_order_is_CDAB_for_Float32` is easier to
+  diagnose on failure than a generic `Float32_roundtrip`. The `DL205_` prefix makes
+  filtering by device class trivial (`--filter "DisplayName~DL205"`).
+- **Skip with a clear SkipReason.** Follow the pattern from
+  `GalaxyRepositoryLiveSmokeTests`: check reachability in the fixture, capture
+  a `SkipReason` string, and have each test call `Assert.Skip(SkipReason)` when
+  it's set. Don't throw — skipped tests read cleanly in CI logs.
+- **Use the real `ModbusTcpTransport`.** Integration tests exercise the wire
+  protocol end-to-end. The in-memory `FakeTransport` from the unit test suite is
+  deliberately not used here — its value is speed + determinism, which doesn't
+  help reproduce device-specific issues.
+- **Don't depend on simulator state between tests.** Each test resets the
+  simulator's register bank or uses a unique address range. Avoid relying on
+  "previous test left value at register 10" setups that flake when tests run in
+  parallel or re-order. Either the test mutates the scratch ranges and restores
+  on finally, or it uses pymodbus's REST API to reset state between facts.
+
+## Next concrete PRs
+
+- **PR 30 — Integration test project + DL205 profile scaffold** — **DONE**.
+  Shipped `tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Modbus.IntegrationTests` with
+  `ModbusSimulatorFixture` (TCP-probe, skips with a clear `SkipReason` when the
+  endpoint is unreachable), `DL205/DL205Profile.cs` (tag map stub), and
+  `DL205/DL205SmokeTests.cs` (write-then-read round-trip).
+- **PR 41 — DL205 quirk catalog doc** — **DONE**. `docs/v2/dl205.md`
+  documents every DL205/DL260 Modbus divergence with primary-source citations.
+- **PR 42 — ModbusPal `.xmpp` profiles** — **SUPERSEDED by PR 43**. Replaced
+  with pymodbus JSON because ModbusPal 1.6b is abandoned, GUI-only, and only
+  exposes 2 of the 4 standard tables.
+- **PR 43 — pymodbus JSON profiles** — **DONE**. `Pymodbus/standard.json` +
+  `Pymodbus/dl205.json` + `Pymodbus/serve.ps1` runner. Both bind TCP 5020.
+- **PR 44+**: one PR per confirmed DL205 quirk, landing the named test + any
+  driver-side adjustment (string byte order, BCD decoder, V-memory address
+  helper, FC16 cap-per-device-family) needed to pass it. Each quirk's value
+  is already pre-encoded in `Pymodbus/dl205.json`.

Tier A/B hard-breach logs a promotion-to-Tier-C recommendation; the runtime never auto-kills an in-process driver | Decisions #73-74 reserve process-kill protections for Tier C. An in-process Tier A/B "recycle" would kill every OPC UA session + every other in-proc driver for one leaky instance, blast-radius worse than the leak | 2026-04-19 |

Hard = 2 × soft | Codex adversarial review on the Phase 6.1 plan flagged that hardcoded per-tier MB bands diverge from decision #70's specified formula.

Zero runtime overlap between the two | Codex adversarial review flagged that Phase 6.2 draft conflated the two — building the data-plane trie from `LdapGroupRoleMapping` would let a user inherit tag permissions from an admin-role claim path never intended as a data-path grant | 2026-04-19 |
+| 151 | `UserAuthorizationState` cached per session but bounded by `MembershipFreshnessInterval` (default 15 min). Past that interval the next hot-path authz call re-resolves LDAP group memberships; failure to re-resolve (LDAP unreachable) → fail-closed (evaluator returns `NotGranted` until memberships refresh successfully) | Previous design cached memberships until session close, so a user removed from a privileged LDAP group could keep authorized access for hours.

Past 5 min on authorization data, evaluator fails closed regardless of whether the underlying config is still serving from cache | Availability-oriented caches trade correctness for uptime.

+# Siemens SIMATIC S7 (S7-1200 / S7-1500 / S7-300 / S7-400 / ET 200SP) — Modbus TCP quirks
+
+Siemens S7 PLCs do *not* speak Modbus TCP natively at the OS/firmware level. Every
+S7 Modbus-TCP-server deployment is either (a) the **`MB_SERVER`** library block
+running on the CPU's PROFINET port (S7-1200 / S7-1500 / CPU 1510SP-series
+ET 200SP), or (b) the **`MODBUSCP`** function block running on a separate
+communication processor (**CP 343-1 / CP 343-1 Lean** on S7-300, **CP 443-1** on
+S7-400), or (c) the **`MODBUSPN`** block on an S7-1500 PN port via a licensed
+library. That means the quirks a Modbus client has to cope with are as much
+"this is how the user's PLC programmer wired the library block up" as "this is
+how the firmware behaves" — the byte-order and coil-mapping rules aren't
+hard-wired into silicon like they are on a DL260. This document catalogues the
+behaviours a driver has to handle across the supported model/CP variants, cites
+primary sources, and names the ModbusPal integration test we'd write for each
+(convention from `docs/v2/modbus-test-plan.md`: `S7_<model>_<behavior>`).

+| "CP 343-1 Lean"     | **Server only** (no client mode supported by Lean) | — | Yes, but with restrictions | CP's Ethernet port [4][5] |
+
+- **CP 343-1 Lean is server-only.** It can host `MODBUSCP` in server mode only;
+  client calls return an immediate error. A surprising number of "Lean + client
+  doesn't work" forum posts trace back to this [5].
+- **Pure OPC UA / PROFINET CPs (CP 1542SP-1, CP 1543-1)** support Modbus TCP on
+  S7-1500 via the same `MB_SERVER`/`MB_CLIENT` instructions by passing the
+  CP's `hw_identifier`. There is no separate "Modbus CP" license needed on
+  S7-1500, unlike S7-300/400 [1].
+- **No S7 Modbus server supports function codes 20/21 (file records),
+  22 (mask write), 23 (read-write multiple), or 43 (device identification).**
+  Sending any of these returns exception `01` (Illegal Function) on every S7
+  variant [1][4]. Our driver must not negotiate FC23 as a "bulk-read optimization"
+  when the profile is S7.
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_MBSERVER_Loads_OB1_Cyclic`,
+`S7_CP343_Lean_Client_Mode_Rejected`,
+`S7_All_FC23_Returns_IllegalFunction`.
+
+## Address / DB Mapping
+
+S7 Modbus servers **do not auto-expose PLC memory** — the PLC programmer has to
+wire one area per Modbus table to a DB or process-image region. This is the
+single biggest difference vs. DL205/Modicon/etc., where the memory map is
+fixed at the factory. Our driver must therefore be tolerant of "the same
+`40001` means completely different things on two S7-1200s on the same site."
+
+### S7-1200 / S7-1500 `MB_SERVER`
+
+The `MB_SERVER` instance exposes four Modbus tables to each connected client;
+each table's backing storage is a per-block parameter [1][8]:
+
+| Modbus table        | FCs         | Backing parameter           | Default / typical backing   |
+|---------------------|-------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
+| Coils (0x)          | FC01, FC05, FC15 | *implicit* — Q process image | `%Q0.0`–`%Q1023.7` (→ coil addresses 0–8191) [1][9] |
+| Discrete Inputs (1x)| FC02        | *implicit* — I process image | `%I0.0`–`%I1023.7` (→ discrete addresses 0–8191) [1][9] |
+| Input Registers (3x)| FC04        | *implicit* — M memory or DB (version-dependent) | Some firmware routes FC04 through the same MB_HOLD_REG buffer [1][8] |
+| Holding Registers (4x)| FC03, FC06, FC16 | `MB_HOLD_REG` pointer  | User DB (e.g. `DB10.DBW0`) or `%MW` area [1][2][8] |
+
+- **`MB_HOLD_REG` is a pointer (VARIANT / ANY) into a user-defined DB** whose
+  first byte is holding-register 0 (`40001` in 1-based Modicon form). Byte
+  offset 2 is register 1, byte offset 4 is register 2, etc. [1][2].
+- **The DB *must* have "Optimized block access" UNCHECKED.** Optimized DBs let
+  the compiler reorder fields for alignment; Modbus requires fixed byte
+  offsets. With optimized access on, the compiler accepts the project but
+  `MB_SERVER` returns STATUS `0x8383` (misaligned access) or silently reads
+  zeros [8][10][11]. This is the #1 support-forum complaint.
+- **FC01/FC02/FC05/FC15 hit the Q and I process images directly — not the
+  `MB_HOLD_REG` DB.** Coil address 0 = `%Q0.0`, coil 1 = `%Q0.1`, coil 8 =
+  `%Q1.0`. The S7-1200 system manual publishes this mapping as `00001 → Q0.0`
+  through `09999 → Q1023.7` and `10001 → I0.0` through `19999 → I1023.7` in
+  1-based form; on the wire (0-based) that's coils 0-8191 and discrete inputs
+  0-8191 [9].
+- **`%M` markers are NOT automatically exposed.** To expose `%M` over Modbus
+  the programmer must either (a) copy `%M` to the `MB_HOLD_REG` DB each scan,
+  or (b) define an Array\[0..n\] of Bool inside that DB and copy bits in/out
+  of `%M`. Siemens has no "MB_COIL_REG" parameter analogous to
+  `MB_HOLD_REG` — this confuses users migrating from Schneider [9][12].
+- **Bit ordering within a Modbus holding register sourced from an `Array of
+  Bool`**: S7 stores bool\[0\] at `DBX0.0` which is bit 0 of byte 0 which is
+  the **low byte, low bit** of Modbus register `40001`. A naive client that
+  reads register `40001` and masks `0x0001` gets bool\[0\]. A client that
+  masks `0x8000` gets bool\[15\] because the high byte of the Modbus register
+  is the *second* byte of the DB. Siemens programmers routinely get this
+  wrong in the DB-via-DBX form; `Array[0..n] of Bool` is the recommended
+  layout because it aligns naturally [12][13].
+
+### S7-300/400 + CP 343-1 / CP 443-1 `MODBUSCP`
+
+Different paradigm: per-connection **parameter DB** (template
+`MODBUS_PARAM_CP`) declares a table of up to 8 register-area mappings. Each
+mapping is a tuple `(data_type, DB#, start_offset, length)` where `data_type`
+picks the Modbus table [4]:
+
+- `B#16#1` = Coils
+- `B#16#2` = Discrete Inputs
+- `B#16#3` = Holding Registers
+- `B#16#4` = Input Registers
+
+The `holding_register_start` and analogous `coils_start` parameters declare
+**which Modbus address range** the CP will serve, and the DB pointers say
+where in S7 memory that range lives [4][14]. Unlike `MB_SERVER`, the CP does
+not reach into `%Q`/`%I` directly — *everything* goes through a DB. If an
+address outside the declared ranges is requested, the CP returns exception
+`02` (Illegal Data Address) [4].
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_FC03_Reg0_Reads_DB10_DBW0`,
+`S7_1200_Optimized_DB_Returns_0x8383_MisalignedAccess`,
+`S7_1200_FC01_Coil0_Reads_Q0_0`,
+`S7_CP343_FC03_Outside_ParamBlock_Range_Returns_IllegalDataAddress`.
+
+## Data Types and Byte Order
+
+Siemens CPUs store scalars **big-endian** internally ("Motorola format"), which
+is the same byte order Modbus specifies inside each register. So for 16-bit
+values (`Int`, `Word`, `UInt`) the on-the-wire layout is straightforward
+`AB` — high byte of the PLC value in the high byte of the Modbus register
+[15][16]. No byte-swap trap for 16-bit types.
+
+The trap is 32-bit types (`DInt`, `DWord`, `Real`). Here's what actually
+happens across the S7 family:
+
+### S7-1200 / S7-1500 `MB_SERVER`
+
+- **The backing DB stores 32-bit values in big-endian byte order, high word
+  first** — i.e. `ABCD` when viewed as two consecutive Modbus registers. A
+  `Real` at `DB10.DBD0` with value `0x12345678` reads over Modbus as
+  register 0 = `0x1234`, register 1 = `0x5678` [15][16][17].
+- **This is `ABCD`, *not* `CDAB`.** Clients that hard-code CDAB (common default
+  for meters and VFDs) will get wildly wrong floats. Configure the S7 profile
+  with `WordOrder = ABCD` (aka "big-endian word + big-endian byte" aka
+  "high-word first") [15][17].
+- **`MB_SERVER` does not swap.** It's a direct memcpy from the DB bytes to
+  the Modbus payload. Whatever byte order the ladder programmer stored into
+  the DB is what the client receives [17]. This means a programmer who used
+  `MOVE_BLK` from two separate `Word`s into `DBD` with the "wrong" order can
+  produce `CDAB` without realising.
+- **`Real` is IEEE 754 single-precision** — unambiguous, no BCD trap like on
+  DL series [15].
+- **Strings**: S7 `String[n]` has a 2-byte header (max length, current length)
+  *before* the character bytes. A client reading a string over Modbus gets
+  the header in the first register and then the characters two-per-register
+  in high-byte-first order. `WString` is UTF-16 and the header is 4 bytes
+  [18]. Our driver's string decoder must expose the "skip header" option for
+  S7 profile.
+
+### S7-300/400 `MODBUSCP` (CP 343-1 / CP 443-1)
+
+- The CP writes the exact DB bytes onto the wire — again `ABCD` if the DB
+  stores `DInt`/`Real` in native Siemens order [4].
+- **`MODBUSCP` has no `data_type` byte-swap knob.** (The `data_type` parameter
+  names the Modbus table, not the byte order — see the Address Mapping
+  section.) If the other end of the link expects `CDAB`, the programmer has
+  to swap words in ladder before writing the DB [4][14].
+
+### Operator-reported oddity
+
+- Some S7 drivers (Kepware's "Siemens TCP/IP Ethernet" driver, Ignition's
+  "Siemens S7" driver) expose a per-tag `Float Byte Order` with options
+  `ABCD`/`CDAB`/`BADC`/`DCBA` because end-users have encountered every
+  permutation in the field — not because the PLC natively swaps, but because
+  ladder programmers have historically stored floats every which way [19].
+  Our S7 Modbus profile should default to `ABCD` but expose a per-tag
+  override.
+- **Unconfirmed rumour**: that S7-1500 firmware V2.0+ reverses float byte
+  order for `MB_CLIENT` only. Not reproduced; the Siemens forum thread that
+  launched it was a user error (the remote server was the swapper, not the
+  S7) [20]. Treat as false until proven.
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_Real_WordOrder_ABCD_Default`,
+`S7_1200_DInt_HighWord_First_At_DBD0`,
+`S7_1200_String_Header_First_Two_Bytes`,
+`S7_CP343_No_Internal_ByteSwap`.
+
+## Coil / Discrete Input Mapping
+
+On `MB_SERVER` the mapping from coil address → S7 bit is fixed at the
+process-image level [1][9][12]:
+
+| Modbus coil / discrete input addr | S7 address    | Notes                               |
+|-----------------------------------|---------------|-------------------------------------|
+| Coil 0 (FC01/05/15)               | `%Q0.0`       | bit 0 of output byte 0              |
+| Coil 7                            | `%Q0.7`       | bit 7 of output byte 0              |
+| Coil 8                            | `%Q1.0`       | bit 0 of output byte 1              |
+| Coil 8191 (max)                   | `%Q1023.7`    | highest exposed output bit          |
+| Discrete input 0 (FC02)           | `%I0.0`       | bit 0 of input byte 0               |
+| Discrete input 8191               | `%I1023.7`    | highest exposed input bit           |
+
+Formulas:
+
+```
+coil_addr   = byte_index * 8 + bit_index    (e.g. %Q5.3 → coil 43)
+discr_addr  = byte_index * 8 + bit_index    (e.g. %I10.2 → disc 82)
+```
+
+- **1-based Modicon form adds 1:** coil 0 (wire) = `00001` (Modicon), etc.
+  Our driver sends the 0-based PDU form, so `%Q0.0` writes to wire address 0.
+- **Writing FC05/FC15 to `%Q` is accepted even while the CPU is in STOP** —
+  the PLC's process image doesn't care about the user program state. But the
+  output won't propagate to the physical module until RUN (see STOP section
+  below) [1][21].
+- **`%M` markers require a DB-backed `Array of Bool`** as described in the
+  Address Mapping section. Our driver can't assume "coil N = MN.0" like it
+  can on Modicon — on S7 it's always Q/I unless the programmer built a
+  mapping DB [12].
+- **Bit-inside-holding-register**: for `Array of Bool` inside the
+  `MB_HOLD_REG` DB, bool[0] is bit 0 of byte 0 → **low byte, low bit** of
+  Modbus register 40001. Most third-party clients probe this in the low
+  byte, so the common case works; the less-common case (bool[8]) is bit 0 of
+  byte 1 → **high byte, low bit** of Modbus register 40001. Clients that
+  test only bool[0] will pass and miss the mis-alignment on bool[8] [12][13].
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_Coil_0_Is_Q0_0`,
+`S7_1200_Coil_8_Is_Q1_0`,
+`S7_1200_Discrete_Input_7_Is_I0_7`,
+`S7_1200_Coil_Write_In_STOP_Accepted_But_Output_Frozen`.

+
+- **S7-1200/1500 honour the full spec maxima** for FC03/04 (125) and FC16
+  (123) [1][22]. No sub-spec cap like DL260's 100-register FC16 limit.
+- **FC15 (Write Multiple Coils) on `MB_SERVER`** writes into `%Q`, which maxes
+  out at 1024 bytes = 8192 bits, but the spec's 1968-bit per-request limit
+  caps any single call first [1][9].
+- **`MB_HOLD_REG` buffer size is bounded by DB size** — max DB size on
+  S7-1200 is 64 KB, on S7-1500 is much larger (several MB depending on CPU),
+  so the practical `MB_HOLD_REG` limit is 32767 16-bit registers on S7-1200
+  and effectively unbounded on S7-1500 [22][23]. The *per-request* limit is
+  still 125.
+- **Read past the end of `MB_HOLD_REG`** returns exception `02` (Illegal
+  Data Address) at the start of the overflow register, not a partial read
+  [1][8].
+- **Request larger than spec max** (e.g. FC03 quantity 126) returns exception
+  `03` (Illegal Data Value). Verified on S7-1200 V4.2 [1][24].
+- **CP 343-1 `MODBUSCP` per-request maxima are spec** (125/125/123/1968/2000),
+  matching the standard [4]. The CP's `MODBUS_PARAM_CP` caps the total
+  *exposed* range, not the per-call quantity.
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_FC03_126_Registers_Returns_IllegalDataValue`,
+`S7_1200_FC16_124_Registers_Returns_IllegalDataValue`,
+`S7_1200_FC03_Past_MB_HOLD_REG_End_Returns_IllegalDataAddress`,
+`S7_1200_FC17_ReportServerId_Returns_IllegalFunction`.
+
+## Exception Codes
+
+S7 Modbus servers return only the four standard exception codes [1][4]:
+
+| Code | Name                  | Triggered by                                                         |
+|------|-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| 01   | Illegal Function      | FC not in the supported list (17, 20-23, 43, any undefined FC)       |
+| 02   | Illegal Data Address  | Register outside `MB_HOLD_REG` / outside `MODBUSCP` param-block range |
+| 03   | Illegal Data Value    | Quantity exceeds spec (FC03/04 > 125, FC16 > 123, FC01/02 > 2000, FC15 > 1968) |
+| 04   | Server Failure        | Runtime error inside MB_SERVER (DB access fault, corrupt DB header, MB_SERVER disabled mid-request) [1][24] |
+
+- **No proprietary exception codes (05/06/0A/0B) are used** on any S7
+  Modbus server [1][4]. Our driver's status-code mapper can treat these as
+  "never observed" on the S7 profile.
+- **CPU in STOP → `MB_SERVER` keeps running if it's in OB1 of the firmware's
+  communication task, but OB1 itself is not scanned.** In practice:
+  - Holding-register *reads* (FC03) continue to return the last DB values
+    frozen at the moment the CPU entered STOP. The `MB_SERVER` block is in
+    OB1 so it isn't re-invoked; however the TCP stack keeps the socket open
+    and returns cached data on subsequent polls [1][21]. **Unconfirmed**
+    whether this is cached in the CP or in the CPU's communication processor;
+    behaviour varies between firmware 4.0 and 4.5 [21].
+  - Holding-register *writes* (FC06/FC16) during STOP return exception `04`
+    (Server Failure) on S7-1200 V4.2+, and return success-but-discarded on
+    older firmware [1][24]. Our driver should treat FC06/FC16 during STOP as
+    non-deterministic and not rely on the response code.
+  - Coil *writes* (FC05/FC15) to `%Q` are *accepted* by the process image
+    during STOP, but the physical output freezes at its last RUN-mode value
+    (or the configured STOP-mode substitute value) until RUN resumes [1][21].
+- **Writing a read-only address via FC06/FC16**: returns `02` (Illegal Data
+  Address), not `04`. S7 does not have "write-protected" holding registers —
+  the programmer either exposes a DB for read-write or doesn't expose it at
+  all [1][12].
+
+STATUS codes (returned in the `STATUS` output of the block, not on the wire):
+
+- `0x0000` — no error.
+- `0x7001` — first call, connection being established.
+- `0x7002` — subsequent cyclic call, connection in progress.
+- `0x8383` — data access error (optimized DB, DB too small, or type mismatch)
+  [10][24].
+- `0x8188` — invalid parameter combination (e.g. MB_MODE out of range) [24].
+- `0x80C8` — mismatched UNIT_ID between MB_CLIENT and `MB_SERVER` [25].
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_FC03_Outside_HoldReg_Returns_IllegalDataAddress`,
+`S7_1200_FC16_In_STOP_Returns_ServerFailure`,
+`S7_1200_FC03_In_STOP_Returns_Cached_Values`,
+`S7_1200_No_Proprietary_ExceptionCodes_0x05_0x06_0x0A_0x0B`.
+
+## Connection Behavior
+
+- **Max simultaneous Modbus TCP connections**:
+  - **S7-1200**: shares a pool of 8 open-communication connections across
+    all TCP/UDP/Modbus use. On a CPU 1211C you get 8 total; on 1215C/1217C
+    still 8 shared among PG/HMI/OUC/Modbus. Each `MB_SERVER` instance
+    reserves one. A typical site with a PG + 1 HMI + 2 Modbus clients uses
+    4 of the 8 [1][26].
+  - **S7-1500**: up to **8 concurrent Modbus TCP server connections** per
+    `MB_SERVER` port, across multiple `MB_SERVER` instance DBs each with a
+    unique port. Total open-communication resources depend on CPU (e.g.
+    CPU 1515-2 PN supports 128 OUC connections total; Modbus is a subset)
+    [1][27].
+  - **CP 343-1 Lean**: up to **8** simultaneous Modbus TCP connections on
+    port 502 [4][5]. Exceeding this refuses at TCP accept.
+  - **CP 443-1 Advanced**: up to **16** simultaneous Modbus TCP connections
+    [4].
+- **Multi-connection model on `MB_SERVER`**: one instance DB per connection.
+  An instance DB listening on port 502 serves exactly one connection at a
+  time; to serve N simultaneous clients you need N instance DBs each with a
+  unique port (502/503/504...). **This is a real trap** — most users expect
+  port 502 to multiplex [27][28]. Our driver must not assume port 502 is the
+  only listener.
+- **Keep-alive**: S7-1500's TCP stack does send TCP keepalives (default
+  every ~30 s) but the interval is not exposed as a configurable. S7-1200 is
+  the same. CP 343-1 keepalives are configured via HW Config → CP properties
+  → Options → "Send keepalive" (default **off** on older firmware, default
+  **on** on firmware V3.0+) [1][29]. Driver-side keepalive is still
+  advisable for S7-300/CP 343-1 on old firmware.
+- **Idle-timeout close**: `MB_SERVER` does *not* close idle sockets on its
+  own. However, the TCP stack on S7-1500 will close a socket that fails
+  three consecutive keepalive probes (~2 minutes). Forum reports describe
+  `MB_SERVER` connections "dying overnight" on S7-1500 when an HMI stops
+  polling — the fix is to enable driver-side periodic reads or driver-side
+  TCP keepalive [29][30].
+- **Reconnect after power cycle**: MB_SERVER starts listening ~1-2 seconds
+  after the CPU reaches RUN. If the client reconnects during STARTUP OB
+  (OB100), the connection is refused until OB1 runs the block at least once.
+  Our driver should back off and retry on `ECONNREFUSED` for the first 5
+  seconds after a power-cycle detection [1][24].
+- **Unit Identifier**: `MB_SERVER` accepts **any** Unit ID by default — there
+  is no configurable filter; the PLC ignores the Unit ID field entirely.
+  `MB_CLIENT` defaults to Unit ID = 255 as "ignore" [25][31]. Some
+  third-party Modbus-TCP gateways *require* a specific Unit ID; sending
+  anything to S7 is safe. **CP 343-1 `MODBUSCP`** also accepts any Unit ID
+  in server mode, but the parameter DB exposes a `single_write` / `unit_id`
+  field on newer firmware to allow filtering [4].
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_9th_TCP_Connection_Refused_On_8_Conn_Pool`,
+`S7_1500_Port_503_Required_For_Second_Instance`,
+`S7_1200_Reconnect_After_Power_Cycle_Succeeds_Within_5s`,
+`S7_1200_Unit_ID_Ignored_Any_Accepted`.
+
+## Behavioral Oddities
+
+- **Transaction ID echo** is reliable on all S7 variants. `MB_SERVER` copies
+  the MBAP TxId verbatim. No known firmware that drops TxId under load [1][31].
+- **Request serialization**: a single `MB_SERVER` instance serializes
+  requests from its one connected client — the block processes one PDU per
+  call and calls happen once per OB1 scan. OB1 scan time of 5-50 ms puts an
+  upper bound on throughput at ~20-200 requests/sec per connection [1][30].
+  Multiple `MB_SERVER` instances (one per port) run in parallel because OB1
+  calls them sequentially within the same scan.
+- **OB1 scan coupling**: `MB_SERVER` must be called cyclically from OB1 (or
+  another cyclic OB). If the programmer puts it in a conditional branch
+  that doesn't fire every scan, requests time out. The STATUS `0x7002`
+  "in progress" is *expected* between calls, not an error [1][24].
+- **Optimized DB backing `MB_HOLD_REG`** — already covered in Address
+  Mapping; STATUS becomes `0x8383`. This is the most common deployment bug
+  on S7-1500 projects migrated from older S7-1200 examples [10][11].
+- **CPU STOP behaviour** — covered in Exception Codes section. The short
+  version: reads may return stale data without error; writes return exception
+  04 on modern firmware.
+- **Partial-frame disconnect**: S7-1200/1500 TCP stack closes the socket on
+  any MBAP header where the `Length` field doesn't match the PDU length.
+  Driver must detect half-close and reconnect [1][29].
+- **MBAP `Protocol ID` must be 0**. Any non-zero value causes the CP/CPU to
+  drop the frame silently (no response, no RST) on S7-1500 firmware V2.0
+  through V2.9; firmware V3.0+ sends an RST [1][30]. *Unconfirmed* whether
+  V3.1 still sends RST or returns to silent drop.
+- **FC01/FC02 access outside `%Q`/`%I` range**: on S7-1200, requesting
+  coil address 8192 (= `%Q1024.0`) returns exception `02` (Illegal Data
+  Address) [1][9]. The 8192-bit hard cap is a process-image size limit on
+  the CPU, not a Modbus protocol limit.
+- **`MB_CLIENT` UNIT_ID mismatch with remote `MB_SERVER`** produces STATUS
+  `0x80C8` on the client side, and the server silently discards the frame
+  (no response on the wire) [25]. This matters for Modbus-TCP-to-RTU
+  gateway scenarios where the Unit ID picks the RTU slave.
+- **Non-IEEE REAL / BCD**: S7 does *not* use BCD like DirectLOGIC. `Real` is
+  always IEEE 754 single-precision. `LReal` (8-byte double) occupies 4
+  Modbus registers in `ABCDEFGH` order (big-endian byte, big-endian word)
+  [15][18].
+- **`MODBUSCP` single-write** on CP 343-1: a parameter `single_write` in the
+  param DB controls whether FC06 on a register in the "holding register"
+  area triggers a callback to the user program vs. updates the DB directly.
+  Default is direct update. If a ladder programmer enables the callback
+  without implementing the callback OB, FC06 writes hang for 5 seconds then
+  return exception `04` [4].
+
+Test names:
+`S7_1200_TxId_Preserved_Across_Burst_Of_50_Requests`,
+`S7_1200_MBSERVER_Throughput_Capped_By_OB1_Scan`,
+`S7_1200_MBAP_ProtocolID_NonZero_Frame_Dropped`,
+`S7_1200_Partial_MBAP_Causes_Half_Close`.
+
+## Model-specific Differences Worth Separate Test Coverage
+
+- **S7-1200 V4.0 vs V4.4+**: Older firmware does not support `WString` over
+  `MB_HOLD_REG` and returns `0x8383` if the DB contains one [18][24]. Test
+  both firmware bands separately.
+- **S7-1500 vs S7-1200**: S7-1500 supports multiple `MB_SERVER` instances on
+  the *same* CPU with different ports cleanly; S7-1200 can too but its
+  8-connection pool is shared tighter [1][27]. Throughput per-connection is
+  ~5× faster on S7-1500 because the comms task runs on a dedicated core.
+- **S7-300 + CP 343-1 vs S7-1200/1500**: parameter-block mapping (not
+  `MB_HOLD_REG` pointer), per-connection license, no `%Q`/`%I` direct
+  access for coils (everything goes through a DB), different STATUS codes
+  (`DONE`/`ERROR`/`STATUS` word pairs vs. the single STATUS word) [4][14].
+  Driver-side it's a different profile.
+- **CP 343-1 Lean vs CP 343-1 Advanced**: Lean is server-only; Advanced is
+  client + server. Lean's max connections = 8; Advanced = 16 [4][5].
+- **CP 443-1 in S7-400H**: uses `MODBUSCP_REDUNDANT` which presents two
+  Ethernet endpoints that fail over. Our driver's redundancy support should
+  recognize the S7-400H profile as "two IP addresses, same server state,
+  advertise via `ServerUriArray`" [6].
+- **ET 200SP CPU (1510SP / 1512SP)**: behaves as S7-1500 from `MB_SERVER`
+  perspective. No known deltas [3].

+    // CustomNodeManager2 has four protected per-kind hooks; the base dispatches to the right one

+    // per-driver async calls are bridged via GetAwaiter().GetResult(), matching the pattern
+    // OnReadValue / OnWriteValue already use in this class so HistoryRead doesn't introduce a
+    // different sync-over-async convention.
+    //
+    // Per-node routing: every HistoryReadValueId in nodesToRead has a NodeHandle in
+    // nodesToProcess; the NodeHandle's NodeId.Identifier is the driver-side full reference
+    // (set during Variable() registration) so we can dispatch straight to IHistoryProvider
+    // without a second lookup. Nodes without IHistoryProvider backing (drivers that don't
+    // implement the capability) surface BadHistoryOperationUnsupported per slot and the
+    // rest of the batch continues — same failure-isolation pattern as OnWriteValue.
+    //
+    // Continuation-point handling is pass-through only in this PR: the driver returns null
+    // from its ContinuationPoint field today so the outer result's ContinuationPoint stays
+    // empty. Full Session.SaveHistoryContinuationPoint plumbing is a follow-up when a driver
