Phase 3 PR 74 -- OPC UA Client transparent reconnect via SessionReconnectHandler. Before this PR a session keep-alive failure flipped HostState to Stopped and stayed there until operator intervention. PR 74 wires the SDK's SessionReconnectHandler so the driver automatically retries + swaps in a new session when the upstream server comes back. New _reconnectHandler field lazily instantiated inside OnKeepAlive on a bad status; subsequent bad keep-alives during the same outage no-op (null-check prevents stacked handlers). Constructor uses (telemetry:null, reconnectAbort:false, maxReconnectPeriod:2min) -- reconnectAbort=false so the handler keeps trying across many retry cycles; 2min cap prevents pathological back-off from starving operator visibility. BeginReconnect takes the current ISession + ReconnectPeriod (from OpcUaClientDriverOptions, default 5s per driver-specs.md \u00A78) + our OnReconnectComplete callback. OnReconnectComplete reads handler.Session for the new session, unwires keepalive from the dead session, rewires to the new session (without this the NEXT drop wouldn't trigger another reconnect -- subtle and critical), swaps Session, disposes the handler. The SDK's Session.TransferSubscriptionsOnReconnect default=true handles subscription migration internally so local MonitoredItem handles stay live across the reconnect; no driver-side manual transfer needed. Shutdown path now aborts any in-flight reconnect via _reconnectHandler.CancelReconnect() + Dispose BEFORE touching Session.CloseAsync -- without this the handler's retry loop holds a reference to the about-to-close session and fights the close, producing BadSessionIdInvalid noise in the upstream log and potential disposal-race exceptions. Cancel-first is the documented SDK pattern. Kept the driver's own HostState/OnHostStatusChanged flow: bad keep-alive -> Stopped transition + reconnect kicks off; OnReconnectComplete -> Running transition + Healthy status. Downstream consumers see the bounce as Stopped->Running without needing to know about the reconnect handler internals. Unit tests (OpcUaClientReconnectTests, 3 facts): Default_ReconnectPeriod_matches_driver_specs_5_seconds (sanity check on the options default), Options_ReconnectPeriod_is_configurable_for_aggressive_or_relaxed_retry (500ms override works), Driver_starts_with_no_reconnect_handler_active_pre_init (lazy instantiation -- indirectly via lifecycle). Wire-level disconnect-reconnect-resume coverage against a live upstream server is deferred to the in-process-fixture PR -- testing the reconnect path needs a server we can kill + revive mid-test, non-trivial to scaffold in xUnit. 54/54 OpcUaClient.Tests pass (51 prior + 3 reconnect). dotnet build clean.
