# Follow-ups from `auto/driver-gaps` queue (PRs #225–#316, 92 merged)

Captured 2026-04-26 after the plan-execution queue drained. Organised by category.

## Wrapper / library-version-blocked (waiting on upstream)

| Driver | PR | Blocker | Resolution path |
|---|---|---|---|
| AbCip | abcip-3.1 | libplctag.NET 1.5.2 doesn't expose `connection_size` | Reflection fallback ships; remove when wrapper publishes the property |
| AbCip | abcip-3.2 | libplctag.NET 1.5.x has no public instance-ID knob | Wire stays Symbolic regardless of mode; flip when wrapper exposes it |
| AbCip | abcip-3.3 | libplctag.NET wire-level multi-service-packet bundling not exposed | Planner ships correct; runtime currently issues N reads. Switch when wrapper bundles |
| S7 | s7-e1 | S7netplus 0.20 has no public `ReadSzlAsync` (request builder is internal) | Parser tested + cached; `BadNotSupported` until S7netplus exposes it or we add raw S7comm SZL-PDU helper |
| S7 | s7-e2 | S7netplus 0.20 doesn't expose `SendPassword` | `IS7PlcAuthGate` reflection probe; logs warning, no exception. Flip when library exposes it |
| TwinCAT | twincat-2.2 | Bulk Sum path stays on symbolic | Phase-2 perf sweep follow-up to switch bulk to handle-based |
| TwinCAT | twincat-5.1 | Beckhoff doesn't ship a managed `TcEventLogger` wrapper | Gate seam ships; production `AdsTwinCATAlarmGate` binary decoder against `ADSIGRP_TCEVENTLOG_ALARMS` is the next chunk of work |

## Fixture / simulator gaps

### focas-mock simulator doesn't exist
- Blocks integration tests for: f3a (alarm history ring-buffer + `mock_patch_alarmhistory`), f4b (`mock_set_unlock_state`, `mock_get_last_write`), f4c (`pmc_wrpmcrng` handler), f4d (`cnc_wrunlockparam` + `mock_set_password`), f5a (`mock_simulate_cycle_completion`).
- No FOCAS IntegrationTests project exists yet — it needs to be created when the mock lands.

### opc-plc fixture upgrades
- **opcuaclient-10**: `TriggerModelChangeAsync` is a stub. Live HTTP-driven model-change verification deferred. Tests use an inject seam.
- **opcuaclient-11**: `opc-plc-rc` Docker fixture session-open assertion (gated `OPCUACLIENT_TOPOLOGY_TRIGGER_CMD` / `OPCUA_RC_SIM`).
- **opcuaclient-12**: opc-plc `--alm` fixture run for HistoryRead Events (waiting for fixture image upgrade).
- **opcuaclient-13**: opc-plc historian-sim wire-level sweep for the 25 new aggregates (only ~5 likely honoured today).
- **opcuaclient-14**: Two-container failover smoke against opc-plc + opc-plc-secondary on the live fixture.

### AbCip HSBY paired-fixture
- **abcip-5.1/5.2**: `hsby-mux` Python sidecar is a stub; the patched `ab_server` image and live role-flip integration test are gated until that stabilises.

### AbLegacy auto-demote fixture
- **ablegacy-12**: `slc500-faulty` is a commented compose placeholder; tests use the `127.0.0.1:1` ECONNREFUSED trick. Real refusing-proxy fixture is follow-up.

### TCBSD TwinCAT project
- twincat-2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 5.1 added new fixture stub files that need to be imported into the actual TwinCAT XAE project before `[TwinCATFact]` integration tests can exercise them:
  - `PLC/GVLs/GVL_Perf.TcGVL` + `PLC/POUs/FB_PerfChurn.TcPOU` (twincat-2.1)
  - `PLC/DUTs/ST_NestedFlags.TcDUT`, `ST_RecursiveCap.TcDUT`, `ST_AlarmRecord.TcDUT` (twincat-4.1)
  - `PLC/GVLs/GVL_Plant.TcGVL` extensions (twincat-4.1)
  - `PLC/GVLs/GVL_Alarms.TcGVL` + `PLC/POUs/FB_AlarmHarness.TcPOU` (twincat-5.1)

### Snap7 round-trip tests
- s7-d1 (TIA CSV), s7-d2 (UDT fan-out), s7-d3 (instance-DB), s7-c1 (negotiated PDU), s7-c3 (scan groups), s7-c4 (deadband) integration tests are build-only until run against the live Snap7 fixture.

## Live-firmware / hardware verification

- **s7-c2** — hardened S7-1500 with non-PG TSAP modes (gated `--with-real-plc`).
- **s7-c5** — hardened PLC with PUT/GET disabled (currently only Snap7 happy-path tested).
- **s7-f** — manual checklist: toggle Optimized block access in TIA + Track 3 OPC UA bridge verification.
- **ablegacy-13** — DH+ via real 1756-DHRIO + PLC-5. No Docker fixture possible.
- **twincat-2.1 perf-tier** — `Driver_sum_read_1000_tags_beats_loop_baseline_by_5x` gated `TWINCAT_PERF=1`.
- **twincat-2.3** — symbol-version online-change drill (`TWINCAT_MANUAL_ONLINE_CHANGE=1`).
- **focas-f4b/c/d** — live CNC parameter / macro / PMC writes + password-protected CNC.

## Cross-driver / ecosystem

- **opcuaclient-12** — Galaxy A&E projection currently keeps the fixed-field `ReadEventsAsync(sourceName, ...)` overload; richer SelectClause-aware projection on the Galaxy A&E log is best-effort future work.
- **per-driver plan files don't exist** — opcuaclient-12 cross-driver `IHistoryProvider` heads-up went into doc-comments instead. If anyone adds per-driver plan files later, the heads-up note belongs in each.

## Pre-existing red-build issues (NOT touched, will block solution-level CI)

- **NU1902 OpenTelemetry warning-as-error in Admin** — predates the queue.
- **`Server/Phase7/DriverSubscriptionBridge.cs` cref ambiguity** — predates the queue.

Both must be fixed before solution-level CI can pass on the merged-up `task-galaxy-e2e`.

## Integration-branch merge

- **`auto/driver-gaps` has 92 stacked PRs** vs `task-galaxy-e2e`. Final merge needs a careful single review — likely staged or one big PR — and will collide with whatever has landed on `task-galaxy-e2e` in parallel.

## Plan-vs-reality deltas (informational; nothing to chase)

- **focas-f4a/b/c/d** — Plan referenced doc lines that had already been removed in prior evolution (FOCAS.md "intentionally returns BadNotWritable" callout; FOCAS-Test-Fixture.md alarms-not-covered caveat).
- **opcuaclient-12** — Repo has no per-driver plan files for abcip / ablegacy / s7 / twincat — heads-up went into IHistoryProvider doc-comments instead.
- **twincat-4.1** — `docs/v3/twincat-backlog.md` doesn't exist; UDT-gap-removal item N/A.

## Highest-leverage cleanup once upstream catches up

When the upstream library bumps, these reflection / `BadNotSupported` paths simplify to direct calls:

- **abcip-3.1**: remove reflection fallback in `LibplctagTagRuntime.TrySetIntAttribute(connection_size, ...)`.
- **abcip-3.2**: remove `LibplctagTagRuntime.TrySetLogicalAddressing` reflection.
- **abcip-3.3**: switch `MultiPacket` runtime from N-reads to true wire-bundle.
- **s7-e1**: replace `S7NetSzlReader.ReadAsync` returning null with real `Plc.ReadSzlAsync`.
- **s7-e2**: replace `ReflectionS7PlcAuthGate` warning path with direct `Plc.SendPasswordAsync` call.
- **twincat-5.1**: ship `AdsTwinCATAlarmGate` binary decoder.
