Joseph Doherty 006af51768 docs: post-PR-7.2 cleanup — audit + three-track scrub
Audit (three parallel agent passes) found 43 markdown files carrying
stale references to the deleted Galaxy.Host/Proxy/Shared projects
after the v2-mxgw merge. This commit lands the prioritized fixes.

Track 1 — high-traffic in-place rewrites (3 files, ~454 lines deleted)
- README.md (202 → 91 lines): drops .NET 4.8 / x86 / TopShelf install
  text; leads with the multi-driver .NET 10 server identity and points
  at scripts/install/Install-Services.ps1 and the parity rig.
- docs/v2/driver-specs.md §1 Galaxy (~289 → ~66 lines): replaces the
  Tier-C out-of-process spec with a Tier-A in-process description
  matching the current GalaxyDriver code, with the four-section
  GalaxyDriverOptions JSON shape pulled verbatim from
  Config/GalaxyDriverOptions.cs.
- docs/drivers/Galaxy.md (211 → 92 lines): full rewrite around the
  current Browse/Runtime/Health/Config sub-folders.

Track 2 — historical banners (5 files)
- lmx_mxgw.md, lmx_mxgw_impl.md, lmx_backend.md,
  docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityMatrix.md,
  docs/v2/implementation/phase-2-galaxy-out-of-process.md each get a
  " Completed 2026-04-30 — historical record" banner block. lmx_mxgw.md
  also fixes two dead links (`docs/Galaxy.Driver.md` and
  `docs/v2/Galaxy.Driver.md`) → `docs/drivers/Galaxy.md`.

Track 3 — v1 archive sweep (10 git mv + 1 new index + 2 in-place scrubs)
- Moved 10 v1 docs under docs/v1/ preserving subpath structure:
  AlarmTracking, Configuration, DataTypeMapping, HistoricalDataAccess,
  Subscriptions (top-level); drivers/Galaxy-Repository,
  drivers/Galaxy-Test-Fixture; reqs/GalaxyRepositoryReqs,
  reqs/MxAccessClientReqs, reqs/ServiceHostReqs.
- New docs/v1/README.md is the shared archive banner + per-file table.
- docs/README.md repointed to the v1 paths and updated to reflect the
  v2 two-process deploy shape (Server + Admin + optional
  OtOpcUaWonderwareHistorian).
- docs/v2/Galaxy.ParityRig.md got a historical banner + four inline
  scrubs marking the OtOpcUaGalaxyHost service / Driver.Galaxy.Host
  EXE / Driver.Galaxy.ParityTests project as deleted-in-PR-7.2.

The repo's live-reading surface (README + CLAUDE.md + docs/v2/) now
describes only the post-PR-7.2 architecture. v1 docs are preserved as
a labelled archive under docs/v1/.

Phase 3 PR 55 -- Mitsubishi MELSEC Modbus TCP quirks research document. 451-line doc at docs/v2/mitsubishi.md mirroring the docs/v2/dl205.md template for the MELSEC family (Q-series + QJ71MT91, L-series + LJ71MT91, iQ-R + RJ71EN71, iQ-R built-in Ethernet, iQ-F FX5U built-in, FX3U + FX3U-ENET / FX3U-ENET-P502, FX3GE built-in). Like Siemens S7, MELSEC Modbus is a patchwork of per-site-configured add-on modules rather than a fixed firmware stack, but the MELSEC-specific traps are different enough to warrant their own document. Key findings worth flagging for the PR 58+ implementation track: (1) MODULE NAMING TRAP -- QJ71MB91 is SERIAL RTU, not TCP. The Q-series TCP module is QJ71MT91. Driver docs + config UI should surface this clearly because the confusion costs operators hours when they try to connect to an RS-232 module via Ethernet. (2) NO CANONICAL MAPPING -- every MELSEC Modbus site has a unique 'Modbus Device Assignment Parameter' block of up to 16 assignments (each binding a MELSEC device range like D0..D1023 to a Modbus-address range); the driver must treat the mapping as runtime config, not device-family profile. (3) X/Y BASE DEPENDS ON FAMILY -- Q/L/iQ-R use HEX notation for X/Y (X20 = decimal 32), FX/iQ-F use OCTAL (X20 = decimal 16, same as DL260); iQ-F has a GX Works3 project toggle that can flip this. Single biggest off-by-N source in MELSEC driver code -- driver address helper must take a family selector. (4) Word order CDAB across Q/L/iQ-R/iQ-F by default (CPU-level, not module-level) -- no user-configurable swap on the server side. FX5U's SWAP instruction is for CLIENT mode only. Driver Mitsubishi profile default must be ByteOrder.WordSwap, matching DL260 but OPPOSITE of Siemens S7. (5) D-registers are BINARY by default (opposite of DL205's BCD-by-default). FNC 18 BCD / FNC 19 BIN instructions confirm binary-by-default in the ladder. Caller must explicitly opt-in to Bcd16/Bcd32 tags when the ladder stores BCD, same pattern as DL205 but the default is inverted. (6) FX5U FIRMWARE GATE -- needs firmware >= 1.060 for native Modbus TCP server; older firmware is client-only. Surface a clear capability error on connect. (7) FX3U PORT 502 SPLIT -- the standard FX3U-ENET cannot bind port 502 (lower port range restricted on the firmware); only FX3U-ENET-P502 can. FX3U-ENET-ADP has no Modbus at all and is a common operator mis-purchase -- driver should surface 'module does not support Modbus' as a distinct error, not 'connection refused'. (8) QJ71MT91 does NOT support FC22 (Mask Write) or FC23 (Read-Write Multiple). iQ-R and iQ-F do. Driver bulk-read optimization must gate on module capability. (9) MAX CONNECTIONS -- 16 simultaneous on Q/L/iQ-R, 8 on FX5U and FX3U-ENET. (10) STOP-mode writes -- configurable on Q/L/iQ-R/iQ-F (default = accept writes even in STOP), always rejected with exception 04 on FX3U-ENET. Per-model test differentiation section names the tests Mitsubishi_QJ71MT91_*, Mitsubishi_FX5U_*, Mitsubishi_FX3U_ENET_*, with a shared Mitsubishi_Common_* fixture for CDAB-word-order + binary-not-BCD + standard-exception-codes tests. 17 cited references including primary Mitsubishi manuals (SH-080446 for QJ71MT91, JY997D56101 for FX5, SH-081259 for iQ-R Ethernet, JY997D18101 for FX3U-ENET) plus Ignition / Kepware / Fernhill / HMS third-party driver release notes. Three unconfirmed rumours flagged explicitly: iQ-R RJ71EN71 early firmware rumoured ABCD word order (no primary source), QJ71MT91 firmware < 2010-05 FC15 odd-byte-count truncation (forum report only), FX3U-ENET firmware < 1.14 out-of-order TxId echoes under load (unreproducible on bench). Pure documentation PR -- no code, no tests. Per-quirk implementation lands in PRs 58+. Research conducted 2026-04-18.

Phase 3 PR 54 -- Siemens S7 Modbus TCP quirks research document. 485-line doc at docs/v2/s7.md mirroring the docs/v2/dl205.md template for the Siemens SIMATIC S7 family (S7-1200 / S7-1500 / S7-300 / S7-400 / ET 200SP / CP 343-1 / CP 443-1 / CP 343-1 Lean / MODBUSPN). Siemens S7 is fundamentally different from DL260: there is no fixed Modbus memory map baked into firmware -- every deployment runs MB_SERVER (S7-1200/1500/ET 200SP), MODBUSCP (S7-300/400 + CP), or MODBUSPN (S7-300/400 PN) library blocks wired up to user DBs via the MB_HOLD_REG / ADDR parameters. The driver's job is therefore to handle per-site CONFIG rather than per-family QUIRKS, and the doc makes that explicit. Key findings worth flagging for the PR 56+ implementation track: (1) S7 has no fixed memory map -- must accept per-site DriverConfig, cannot assume vendor-standard layout. (2) MB_SERVER requires NON-optimized DBs in TIA Portal; optimized DBs cause the library to return STATUS 0x8383 on every access -- the single most common S7 Modbus deployment bug in the field. (3) Word order is ABCD by default (big-endian bytes + big-endian words) across all Siemens S7 Modbus paths, which is the OPPOSITE of DL260 CDAB -- the Modbus driver's S7 profile default must be ByteOrder.BigEndian, not WordSwap. (4) MB_SERVER listens on ONE port per FB instance; multi-client support requires running MB_SERVER on 502 / 503 / 504 / ... simultaneously -- most clients assume port 502 multiplexes, which is wrong on S7. (5) CP 343-1 Lean is SERVER-ONLY and requires the separate 2XV9450-1MB00 MODBUS TCP CP library license; client mode calls return immediate error on Lean. (6) MB_SERVER does NOT filter Unit ID, accepts any value. Means the driver can't use Unit ID to detect 'direct vs gateway' topology. (7) FC23 Read-Write Multiple, FC22 Mask Write, FC20/21 File Records, FC43 Device Identification all return exception 01 Illegal Function on every S7 variant -- the driver MUST NOT attempt bulk-read optimisation via FC23 when talking to S7. (8) STOP-mode read/write behaviour is non-deterministic across firmware bands: reads may return cached data (library internal buffer), writes may succeed-silently or return exception 04 depending on CPU firmware version -- flagged as 'driver treats both as unavailable, do not distinguish'. Unconfirmed rumours flagged separately: 'V2.0+ reverses float byte order' claim (cited but not reproduced), STOP-mode caching location (folklore, no primary source). Per-model test differentiation section names the tests as S7_<model>_<behavior> matching the DL205 template convention (e.g. S7_1200_MB_SERVER_requires_non_optimized_DB, S7_343_1_Lean_rejects_client_mode, S7_FC23_returns_IllegalFunction). 31 cited references across the Siemens Industry Online Support entry-ID system (68011496 for MB_SERVER FAQ, etc.), TIA Portal library manuals, and three third-party driver vendor release notes (Kepware, Ignition, FactoryTalk). This is a pure documentation PR -- no code, no tests, no csproj changes. Per-quirk implementation lands in PRs 56+. Research conducted 2026-04-18 against latest publicly-available Siemens documentation; STOP-mode behaviour and MB_SERVER versioning specifically cross-checked against Siemens forum answers from 2024-2025.

Phase 2 PR 61 -- Close V1_ARCHIVE_STATUS.md; Phase 2 Streams D + E done. Purely a documentation-closure PR. The v1 archive deletion itself happened across earlier PRs: PR 2 on phase-2-stream-d archive-marked the four v1 projects (IsTestProject=false so dotnet test slnx bypassed them); Phase 3 PR 18 deleted the archived project source trees. What remained on disk was stale bin/obj residue from pre-deletion builds -- git never tracked those, so removing them from the working tree is cosmetic only (no source-file diff in this PR). What this PR actually changes: V1_ARCHIVE_STATUS.md is rewritten from 'Deletion plan (Phase 2 PR 3)' pre-work prose to a CLOSED retrospective that (a) lists all five v1 directories as deleted with check-marks (src/OtOpcUa.Host, src/Historian.Aveva, tests/Historian.Aveva.Tests, tests/Tests.v1Archive, tests/IntegrationTests), (b) names the parity-bar tests that now fill the role the 494 v1 tests originally held (Driver.Galaxy.E2E cross-FX subprocess parity + stability-findings regression, per-component *.Tests projects, Driver.Modbus.IntegrationTests, LiveStack/ smoke tests), and (c) gives the closure timeline connecting PR 2 -> Phase 3 PR 18 -> this PR 61. Also added the Modbus TCP driver family as parity coverage that didn't exist in v1 (DL205 + S7-1500 + Mitsubishi MELSEC via pymodbus sim). Stream D (retire legacy Host) has been effectively done since Phase 3 PR 18; Stream E (parity validation) is done since PR 2 landed the Driver.Galaxy.E2E project with HostSubprocessParityTests + HierarchyParityTests + StabilityFindingsRegressionTests. This PR exists to definitively close the two pending Phase 2 tasks on the task list and give future-me (or anyone picking up Phase 2 retrospectives) a single 'what actually happened' doc instead of a 'what we plan to do' prose that didn't match reality. dotnet build ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx: 0 errors, 200 warnings (all xunit1051 cancellation-token analyzer advisories, unchanged from v2 tip). No test regressions -- no source code changed.
