AB Legacy PR 2 — IReadable + IWritable. IAbLegacyTagRuntime + IAbLegacyTagFactory abstraction mirrors IAbCipTagRuntime from AbCip PR 3. LibplctagLegacyTagRuntime default implementation wraps libplctag.Tag with Protocol=ab_eip + PlcType dispatched from the profile's libplctag attribute (Slc500/MicroLogix/Plc5/LogixPccc) — libplctag routes PCCC-over-EIP internally based on PlcType, so our layer just forwards the atomic type to Get/Set calls. DecodeValue handles Bit (GetBit when bitIndex is set, else GetInt8!=0), Int/AnalogInt (GetInt16 widened to int), Long (GetInt32), Float (GetFloat32), String (GetString), TimerElement/CounterElement/ControlElement (GetInt32 — sub-element selection is in the libplctag tag name like T4:0.ACC, PLC-side decode picks the right slot). EncodeValue handles the same types; bit-within-word writes throw NotSupportedException pointing at follow-up task #181 (same read-modify-write gap as Modbus BitInRegister). AbLegacyDriver implements IReadable + IWritable with the exact same shape as AbCip PR 3-4 — per-tag lazy runtime init via EnsureTagRuntimeAsync cached in DeviceState.Runtimes dict, ordered-snapshot results, health surface updates. Exception table — OperationCanceledException rethrows, NotSupportedException → BadNotSupported, FormatException/InvalidCastException → BadTypeMismatch (guard pattern C# 11 syntax), OverflowException → BadOutOfRange, anything else → BadCommunicationError. ShutdownAsync disposes every cached runtime so the native tag handles get released. 14 new unit tests in AbLegacyReadWriteTests covering unknown ref → BadNodeIdUnknown, successful N-file read with Good status + captured value, repeat-read reuses cached runtime (init count 1 across 2 reads), libplctag non-zero status mapping (-14 → BadNodeIdUnknown), read exception → BadCommunicationError + Degraded health, batched reads preserve order across N/F/ST types, TagCreateParams composition (gateway/port/path/slc500 attribute/tag-name), non-writable tag → BadNotWritable, successful write encodes + flushes, bit-within-word → BadNotSupported (RmwThrowingFake mirrors LibplctagLegacyTagRuntime's runtime check), write exception → BadCommunicationError, batch preserves order across success+fail+unknown, cancellation propagates, ShutdownAsync disposes runtimes. Total AbLegacy unit tests now 82/82 passing (+14 from PR 1's 68). Full solution builds 0 errors; Modbus + AbCip + other drivers untouched.

+
+## Release blockers (must close before v2 GA)
+
+Ordered by severity + impact on production fitness.
+
+### ~~Security — Phase 6.2 dispatch wiring~~ (task #143 — **CLOSED** 2026-04-19, PR #94)
+
+**Closed**. `AuthorizationGate` + `NodeScopeResolver` now thread through `OpcUaApplicationHost → OtOpcUaServer → DriverNodeManager`. `OnReadValue` + `OnWriteValue` + all four HistoryRead paths call `gate.IsAllowed(identity, operation, scope)` before the invoker. Production deployments activate enforcement by constructing `OpcUaApplicationHost` with an `AuthorizationGate(StrictMode: true)` + populating the `NodeAcl` table.
+
+Additional Stream C surfaces (not release-blocking, hardening only):
+
+- Browse + TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds gating with ancestor-visibility logic per `acl-design.md` §Browse.
+- CreateMonitoredItems + TransferSubscriptions gating with per-item `(AuthGenerationId, MembershipVersion)` stamp so revoked grants surface `BadUserAccessDenied` within one publish cycle (decision #153).
+- Alarm Acknowledge / Confirm / Shelve gating.
+- Call (method invocation) gating.
+- Finer-grained scope resolution — current `NodeScopeResolver` returns a flat cluster-level scope. Joining against the live Configuration DB to populate UnsArea / UnsLine / Equipment path is tracked as Stream C.12.
+- 3-user integration matrix covering every operation × allow/deny.
+
+These are additional hardening — the three highest-value surfaces (Read / Write / HistoryRead) are now gated, which covers the base-security gap for v2 GA.
+
+### ~~Config fallback — Phase 6.1 Stream D wiring~~ (task #136 — **CLOSED** 2026-04-19, PR #96)
+
+**Closed**. `SealedBootstrap` consumes `ResilientConfigReader` + `GenerationSealedCache` + `StaleConfigFlag` end-to-end: bootstrap calls go through the timeout → retry → fallback-to-sealed pipeline; every central-DB success writes a fresh sealed snapshot so the next cache-miss has a known-good fallback; `StaleConfigFlag.IsStale` is now consumed by `HealthEndpointsHost.usingStaleConfig` so `/healthz` body reports reality.
+
+Production activation: Program.cs switches `NodeBootstrap → SealedBootstrap` + constructs `OpcUaApplicationHost` with the `StaleConfigFlag` as an optional ctor parameter.
+
+Remaining follow-ups (hardening, not release-blocking):
+
+- A `HostedService` that polls `sp_GetCurrentGenerationForCluster` periodically so peer-published generations land in this node's cache without a restart.
+- Richer snapshot payload via `sp_GetGenerationContent` so fallback can serve the full generation content (DriverInstance enumeration, ACL rows, etc.) from the sealed cache alone.
+
+### ~~Redundancy — Phase 6.3 Streams A/C core~~ (tasks #145 + #147 — **CLOSED** 2026-04-19, PRs #98–99)
+
+**Closed**. The runtime orchestration layer now exists end-to-end:
+
+- `RedundancyCoordinator` reads `ClusterNode` + peer list at startup (Stream A shipped in PR #98). Invariants enforced: 1-2 nodes (decision #83), unique ApplicationUri (#86), ≤1 Primary in Warm/Hot (#84). Startup fails fast on violation; runtime refresh logs + flips `IsTopologyValid=false` so the calculator falls to band 2 without tearing down.
+- `RedundancyStatePublisher` orchestrates topology + apply lease + recovery state + peer reachability through `ServiceLevelCalculator` + emits `OnStateChanged` / `OnServerUriArrayChanged` edge-triggered events (Stream C core shipped in PR #99). The OPC UA `ServiceLevel` Byte variable + `ServerUriArray` String[] variable subscribe to these events.
+
+Remaining Phase 6.3 surfaces (hardening, not release-blocking):
+
+- `PeerHttpProbeLoop` + `PeerUaProbeLoop` HostedServices that poll the peer + write to `PeerReachabilityTracker` on each tick. Without these the publisher sees `PeerReachability.Unknown` for every peer → Isolated-Primary band (230) even when the peer is up. Safe default (retains authority) but not the full non-transparent-redundancy UX.
+- OPC UA variable-node wiring layer: bind the `ServiceLevel` Byte node + `ServerUriArray` String[] node to the publisher's events via `BaseDataVariable.OnReadValue` / direct value push. Scoped follow-up on the Opc.Ua.Server stack integration.
+- `sp_PublishGeneration` wraps its apply in `await using var lease = coordinator.BeginApplyLease(...)` so the `PrimaryMidApply` band (200) fires during actual publishes (task #148 part 2).
+- Client interop matrix validation — Ignition / Kepware / Aveva OI Gateway (Stream F, task #150). Manual + doc-only work; doesn't block code ship.
+
+### Remaining drivers (task #120)
+
+AB CIP, AB Legacy, TwinCAT ADS, FOCAS drivers are planned but unshipped. Decision pending on whether these are release-blocking for v2 GA or can slip to a v2.1 follow-up.
+
+## Nice-to-haves (not release-blocking)
+
+- **Admin UI** — Phase 6.1 Stream E.2/E.3 (`/hosts` column refresh), Phase 6.2 Stream D (`RoleGrantsTab` + `AclsTab` Probe), Phase 6.3 Stream E (`RedundancyTab`), Phase 6.4 Streams A/B UI pieces, Stream C DiffViewer, Stream D `IdentificationFields.razor`. Tasks #134, #144, #149, #153, #155, #156, #157.
+- **Background services** — Phase 6.1 Stream B.4 `ScheduledRecycleScheduler` HostedService (task #137), Phase 6.1 Stream A analyzer (task #135 — Roslyn analyzer asserting every capability surface routes through `CapabilityInvoker`).
+- **Multi-host dispatch** — Phase 6.1 Stream A follow-up (task #135). Currently every driver gets a single pipeline keyed on `driver.DriverInstanceId`; multi-host drivers (Modbus with N PLCs) need per-PLC host resolution so failing PLCs trip per-PLC breakers without poisoning siblings. Decision #144 requires this but we haven't wired it yet.
+
+## Running the release-readiness check
+
+```bash
+pwsh ./scripts/compliance/phase-6-all.ps1
+```
+
+This meta-runner invokes each `phase-6-N-compliance.ps1` script in sequence and reports an aggregate PASS/FAIL. It is the single-command verification that what we claim is shipped still compiles + tests pass + the plan-level invariants are still satisfied.
+
+Exit 0 = every phase passes its compliance checks + no test-count regression.
+
+## Release-readiness exit criteria
+
+v2 GA requires all of the following:
+
+- [ ] All four Phase 6.N compliance scripts exit 0.
+- [ ] `dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx` passes with ≤ 1 known-flake failure.
+- [ ] Release blockers listed above all closed (or consciously deferred to v2.1 with a written decision).
+- [ ] Production deployment checklist (separate doc) signed off by Fleet Admin.
+- [ ] At least one end-to-end integration run against the live Galaxy on the dev box succeeds.
+- [ ] OPC UA conformance test (CTT or UA Compliance Test Tool) passes against the live endpoint.
+- [ ] Non-transparent redundancy cutover validated with at least one production client (Ignition 8.3 recommended — see decision #85).
+
+## Change log
+
+- **2026-04-19** — Release blocker #3 **closed** (PRs #98–99). Phase 6.3 Streams A + C core shipped: `ClusterTopologyLoader` + `RedundancyCoordinator` + `RedundancyStatePublisher` + `PeerReachabilityTracker`. Code-path release blockers all closed; remaining Phase 6.3 surfaces (peer-probe HostedServices, OPC UA variable-node binding, sp_PublishGeneration lease wrap, client interop matrix) are hardening follow-ups.
+- **2026-04-19** — Release blocker #2 **closed** (PR #96). `SealedBootstrap` consumes `ResilientConfigReader` + `GenerationSealedCache` + `StaleConfigFlag`; `/healthz` now surfaces the stale flag. Remaining follow-ups (periodic poller + richer snapshot payload) downgraded to hardening.
+- **2026-04-19** — Release blocker #1 **closed** (PR #94). `AuthorizationGate` wired into `DriverNodeManager` Read / Write / HistoryRead dispatch. Remaining Stream C surfaces (Browse / Subscribe / Alarm / Call + finer-grained scope resolution) downgraded to hardening follow-ups — no longer release-blocking.
+- **2026-04-19** — Phase 6.4 data layer merged (PRs #91–92). Phase 6 core complete. Capstone doc created.
+- **2026-04-19** — Phase 6.3 core merged (PRs #89–90). `ServiceLevelCalculator` + `RecoveryStateManager` + `ApplyLeaseRegistry` land as pure logic; coordinator / UA-node wiring / Admin UI / interop deferred.
+- **2026-04-19** — Phase 6.2 core merged (PRs #84–88). `AuthorizationGate` + `TriePermissionEvaluator` + `LdapGroupRoleMapping` land; dispatch wiring + Admin UI deferred.
+- **2026-04-19** — Phase 6.1 shipped (PRs #78–83). Polly resilience + Tier A/B/C stability + health endpoints + LiteDB generation-sealed cache + Admin `/hosts` data layer all live.

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Phase 6.2 exit-gate compliance check — stub. Each `Assert-*` either passes
-    (Write-Host green) or throws. Non-zero exit = fail.
+    Phase 6.2 exit-gate compliance check. Each check either passes or records a
+    failure; non-zero exit = fail.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     Validates Phase 6.2 (Authorization runtime) completion. Checks enumerated
     in `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-2-authorization-runtime.md`
     §"Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)".
 
-    Current status: SCAFFOLD. Every check writes a TODO line and does NOT throw.
-    Each implementation task in Phase 6.2 is responsible for replacing its TODO
-    with a real check before closing that task.
-

 .SYNOPSIS
-    Phase 6.3 exit-gate compliance check — stub. Each `Assert-*` either passes
-    (Write-Host green) or throws. Non-zero exit = fail.
+    Phase 6.3 exit-gate compliance check. Each check either passes or records a
+    failure; non-zero exit = fail.
 
 .DESCRIPTION
     Validates Phase 6.3 (Redundancy runtime) completion. Checks enumerated in
     `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-3-redundancy-runtime.md`
     §"Compliance Checks (run at exit gate)".
 
-    Current status: SCAFFOLD. Every check writes a TODO line and does NOT throw.
-    Each implementation task in Phase 6.3 is responsible for replacing its TODO
-    with a real check before closing that task.
-
 .NOTES
     Usage:  pwsh ./scripts/compliance/phase-6-3-compliance.ps1
-    Exit:   0 = all checks passed (or are still TODO); non-zero = explicit fail
+    Exit:   0 = all checks passed; non-zero = one or more FAILs

+/// <summary>
+///     RFC 4180 CSV parser for equipment import per decision #95 and Phase 6.4 Stream B.1.
+///     Produces a validated <see cref="EquipmentCsvParseResult"/> the caller (CSV import
+///     modal + staging tables) consumes. Pure-parser concern — no DB access, no staging
+///     writes; those live in the follow-up Stream B.2 work.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+///     <para><b>Header contract</b>: line 1 must be exactly <c># OtOpcUaCsv v1</c> (version
+///     marker). Line 2 is the column header row. Unknown columns are rejected; required
+///     columns must all be present. The version bump handshake lets future shapes parse
+///     without ambiguity — v2 files go through a different parser variant.</para>
+///
+///     <para><b>Required columns</b> per decision #117: ZTag, MachineCode, SAPID,
+///     EquipmentId, EquipmentUuid, Name, UnsAreaName, UnsLineName.</para>
+///
+///     <para><b>Optional columns</b> per decision #139: Manufacturer, Model, SerialNumber,
+///     HardwareRevision, SoftwareRevision, YearOfConstruction, AssetLocation,
+///     ManufacturerUri, DeviceManualUri.</para>
+///
+///     <para><b>Row validation</b>: blank required field → rejected; duplicate ZTag within
+///     the same file → rejected. Duplicate against the DB isn't detected here — the
+///     staged-import finalize step (Stream B.4) catches that.</para>
