Modbus has no push protocol, so the driver layers a per-subscription polling Task on the existing IReadable path. Initial-data push fires per-tag; subsequent polls diff vs last-known DataValueSnapshot (value + StatusCode) and raise OnDataChange only on change. Interval floored to 100ms. Unsubscribe cancels the per-subscription CTS. Multiple overlapping subs run independently. ShutdownAsync cancels everything before tearing down the transport. 6 new tests cover initial-data, stable-value silence, value-change detection, unsubscribe-stops-loop, interval floor, independent-subscription fan-out. 195/195 solution tests pass.

Phase 3 PR 22 — Modbus ISubscribable via polling overlay. Modbus has no push model at the wire protocol (unlike MXAccess's OnDataChange callback or OPC UA's own Subscription service), so the driver layers a per-subscription polling loop on top of the existing IReadable path: SubscribeAsync returns an opaque ModbusSubscriptionHandle, starts a background Task.Run that sleeps for the requested publishing interval (floored to 100ms so a misconfigured sub-10ms request doesn't hammer the PLC), reads every subscribed tag through the same FC01/03/04 path the one-shot ReadAsync uses, diffs the returned DataValueSnapshot against the last known value per tag, and raises OnDataChange exactly when (a) it's the first poll (initial-data push per OPC UA Part 4 convention) or (b) boxed value changed or (c) StatusCode changed — stable values don't generate event traffic after the initial push, matching the v1 MXAccess OnDataChange shape. SubscriptionState record holds the handle + tag list + interval + per-subscription CancellationTokenSource + ConcurrentDictionary<string,DataValueSnapshot> LastValues; UnsubscribeAsync removes the state from _subscriptions and cancels the CTS, stopping the polling loop cleanly. Multiple overlapping subscriptions each get their own polling Task so a slow PLC on one subscription can't stall the others. ShutdownAsync cancels every active subscription CTS before tearing down the transport so the driver doesn't leave orphaned polling tasks pumping requests against a disposed socket. Transient poll errors are swallowed inside the loop (the loop continues to the next tick) — the driver's health surface reflects the last-known Degraded state from the underlying ReadAsync path. OperationCanceledException is caught separately to exit the loop silently on unsubscribe/shutdown. Tests (6 new ModbusSubscriptionTests): Initial_poll_raises_OnDataChange_for_every_subscribed_tag asserts the initial-data push fires once per tag in the subscribe call (2 tags → 2 events with FullReference='Level' and FullReference='Temp'); Unchanged_values_do_not_raise_after_initial_poll lets the loop run ~5 cycles at 100ms with a stable register value, asserts only the initial push fires (no event spam on stable tags); Value_change_between_polls_raises_OnDataChange mutates the fake register bank between poll ticks and asserts a second event fires with the new value (verified via e.Snapshot.Value.ShouldBe((short)200)); Unsubscribe_stops_the_polling_loop captures the event count right after UnsubscribeAsync, mutates a register that would have triggered a change if polling continued, asserts the count stays the same after 400ms; SubscribeAsync_floors_intervals_below_100ms passes a 10ms interval + asserts only 1 event fires across 300ms (if the floor weren't enforced we'd see 30 — the test asserts the floor semantically by counting events on stable data); Multiple_subscriptions_fire_independently creates two subs on different tags, unsubscribes only one, mutates the other's tag, asserts only the surviving sub emits while the unsubscribed one stays at its pre-unsubscribe count. FakeTransport in this test file is scoped to FC03 only since that's all the subscription path exercises — keeps the test doubles minimal and the failure modes obvious. WaitForCountAsync helper polls a ConcurrentQueue up to a deadline, makes the tests tolerant of scheduler jitter on slow CI runners. Full solution: 0 errors, 195 tests pass (6 new subscription + 9 existing Modbus + 180 pre-existing). ModbusDriver now implements IDriver + ITagDiscovery + IReadable + IWritable + ISubscribable — five of the eight capability interfaces. IAlarmSource + IHistoryProvider remain unimplemented because Modbus has no wire-level alarm or history semantics; IHostConnectivityProbe is a plausible future addition (treat transport disconnect as a Stopped signal) but needs the socket-level connection-state tracking plumbed through IModbusTransport which is its own PR. 18b3e24710
