+# OPC UA Client driver
+
+Tier-A in-process driver that opens a `Session` against a remote OPC UA server
+and re-exposes its address space through the local OtOpcUa server. The
+"gateway / aggregation" direction — opposite to the usual "server exposes PLC
+data" flow.
+
+For the test fixture (opc-plc) see [`OpcUaClient-Test-Fixture.md`](OpcUaClient-Test-Fixture.md).
+For the configuration surface see `OpcUaClientDriverOptions` in
+[`src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.OpcUaClient/OpcUaClientDriverOptions.cs`](../../src/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.OpcUaClient/OpcUaClientDriverOptions.cs).
+
+## Auto re-import on `ModelChangeEvent`
+
+The driver subscribes to `BaseModelChangeEventType` (and its subtype
+`GeneralModelChangeEventType`) on the upstream `Server` node (`i=2253`) at
+the end of `InitializeAsync`. When the upstream server advertises a
+topology change, the driver coalesces events over a debounce window and
+runs a single re-import (equivalent to calling `ReinitializeAsync` —
+internally `ShutdownAsync` + `InitializeAsync`).
+
+### Configuration
+
+| Option | Default | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `WatchModelChanges` | `true` | Disable to skip the watch entirely (no extra subscription, no re-import on topology change). |
+| `ModelChangeDebounce` | `5s` | Coalescing window. The first event starts the timer; further events extend it; when it elapses with no new events, the driver fires one re-import. |
+
+### Behaviour
+
+- One model-change subscription per driver instance, separate from the
+  data + alarm subscriptions. Created best-effort: a server that doesn't
+  advertise the event types or rejects the `EventFilter` falls through to
+  no-watch — `InitializeAsync` still succeeds.
+- The `EventFilter` selects only the `EventType` field (a `WhereClause`
+  constrains by `OfType BaseModelChangeEventType`). Payload fields like
+  `Changes[]` are intentionally ignored: the driver always re-imports the
+  full upstream root, so per-event delta tracking would just add wire
+  overhead.
+- Debounce is implemented via a single-shot `Timer`; every event calls
+  `Timer.Change(window, Infinite)` so a burst of N events triggers exactly
+  one re-import after the window elapses with no further events.
+- The re-import path acquires the same `_gate` semaphore that `ReadAsync`
+  / `WriteAsync` / `BrowseAsync` / `SubscribeAsync` use. Downstream callers
+  see a brief browse-gap (≈ the upstream `DiscoverAsync` duration) while
+  the gate is held — but no torn reads or split-batch writes.
+- Failure during the re-import is best-effort: the next `ModelChangeEvent`
+  triggers another attempt, and the keep-alive watchdog covers permanent
+  upstream loss. Operators see failures through `DriverHealth.LastError`
+  + the diagnostics counters.
+
+### When to disable
+
+Flip `WatchModelChanges` to `false` when:
+
+- The upstream topology is known-static (e.g. firmware-pinned PLC) and
+  the driver should never run a re-import unprompted.
+- The brief browse-gap during re-import is unacceptable and a manual
+  `ReinitializeAsync` call from the operator is preferred.
+- The upstream server fires spurious `ModelChangeEvent`s that don't
+  reflect real topology changes, causing wasted re-imports. Tighten or
+  disable rather than chasing the noise downstream.

+.SYNOPSIS
+  End-to-end CLI test for the OPC UA Client (gateway) driver bridged through
+  the OtOpcUa server. Stages: probe, read, subscribe, topology-change.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+  The OPC UA Client driver reads from an upstream OPC UA server (default:
+  Microsoft's opc-plc simulator on opc.tcp://localhost:50000) and re-exposes
+  its address space through the local OtOpcUa server. This script drives
+  the bridged path end-to-end via `otopcua-cli`.
+
+  Four stages:
+
+    1. Probe           — otopcua-cli connect succeeds against the OtOpcUa
+                         server; confirms the gateway is up.
+    2. Bridged read    — otopcua-cli read on the bridged NodeId returns a
+                         Good value with a non-null payload; proves the
+                         IReadable.ReadAsync path round-trips through the
+                         driver to the upstream simulator.
+    3. Subscribe       — otopcua-cli subscribe observes a data change within
+                         N seconds (opc-plc's StepUp ticks once per second by
+                         default, so this should always see a change).
+    4. Topology change — assert the auto-reimport-on-ModelChangeEvent path
+                         is wired up. We can't easily fire a real upstream
+                         model change without elevated opc-plc access, so
+                         this stage prints the option settings + asserts the
+                         driver's diagnostic surface reflects WatchModelChanges
+                         is enabled (or skips with INFO when the upstream
+                         doesn't expose ModelChangeEventType).
+
+  Requires:
+    - a running OtOpcUa server whose config DB has an OpcUaClient
+      DriverInstance bound to opc-plc (or another upstream server)
+    - the upstream OPC UA simulator reachable at $UpstreamUrl
+    - a Tag bridged from upstream NodeId $UpstreamNodeId to local
+      $BridgedNodeId
+
+.PARAMETER OpcUaUrl
+  Endpoint URL of the OtOpcUa server. Default opc.tcp://localhost:4840.
+
+.PARAMETER UpstreamUrl
+  Endpoint URL of the upstream OPC UA server (for documentation; the bridge
+  itself is wired in the OtOpcUa server config). Default opc.tcp://localhost:50000.
+
+.PARAMETER BridgedNodeId
+  Local NodeId the OtOpcUa server exposes for the upstream tag. Required —
+  set per your server config (e.g. 'ns=2;s=/warsaw/opc-plc/StepUp').
+
+.PARAMETER UpstreamNodeId
+  The upstream NodeId being bridged (informational only; default
+  'ns=3;s=StepUp' which is opc-plc's monotonically-increasing UInt32).
+
+.PARAMETER ChangeWaitSec
+  How long the subscribe stage waits for a data-change. Default 10s.
+
