Joseph Doherty 8adc8f5ab8 Phase 3 PR 37 — End-to-end live-stack Galaxy smoke test. Closes the code side of LMX follow-up #5; once OtOpcUaGalaxyHost is installed + started on the dev box, the suite exercises the full topology GalaxyProxyDriver in-process → named-pipe IPC → running OtOpcUaGalaxyHost Windows service → MxAccessGalaxyBackend → live MXAccess runtime → real deployed Galaxy objects. Never spawns the Host process itself — connects to the already-running service per project_galaxy_host_service.md, which is the only way to exercise the production COM-apartment + service-account + pipe-ACL configuration.
LiveStackConfig resolves the pipe name + per-install shared secret from two sources in order: OTOPCUA_GALAXY_PIPE + OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET env vars first (for CI / benchwork overrides), then the service's per-process Environment registry values under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OtOpcUaGalaxyHost (what Install-Services.ps1 writes at install time). Registry read requires the test host to run elevated on most boxes — the skip message says so explicitly so operators see the right remediation. Hard-coded secrets are deliberately avoided: the installer generates 32 fresh random bytes per install, a committed secret would diverge from production the moment the service is re-installed.
LiveStackFixture is an IAsyncLifetime that (1) runs AvevaPrerequisites.CheckAllAsync with CheckGalaxyHostPipe=true + CheckHistorian=false — produces a structured PrerequisiteReport whose SkipReason is the exact operator-facing 'here's what you need to fix' text, (2) resolves LiveStackConfig and surfaces a clear skip when the secret isn't discoverable, (3) instantiates GalaxyProxyDriver + calls InitializeAsync (the IPC handshake), capturing a skip with the exception detail + common-cause hints (secret mismatch, SID not in pipe ACL, Host's backend couldn't connect to ZB) rather than letting a NullRef cascade through every subsequent test. SkipIfUnavailable() translates the captured SkipReason into Assert.Skip at the top of every fact so tests read as cleanly-skipped with a visible reason, not silently-passed or crashed.
LiveStackSmokeTests (5 facts, Collection=LiveStack, Category=LiveGalaxy): Fixture_initialized_successfully (cheapest possible end-to-end assertion — if this passes, the IPC handshake worked); Driver_reports_Healthy_after_IPC_handshake (DriverHealth.State post-connect); DiscoverAsync_returns_at_least_one_variable_from_live_galaxy (captures every Variable() call from DiscoverAsync via CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder and asserts > 0 — zero here usually means the Host couldn't read ZB, the skip message names OTOPCUA_GALAXY_ZB_CONN to check); GetHostStatuses_reports_at_least_one_platform (IHostConnectivityProbe surface — zero means the probe loop hasn't fired or no Platform is deployed locally); Can_read_a_discovered_variable_from_live_galaxy (reads the first discovered attribute's full reference, asserts status != BadInternalError — Galaxy's Uncertain-quality-until-first-Engine-scan is intentionally NOT treated as failure since it depends on runtime state that varies across test runs). Read-only by design; writes need an agreed scratch tag to avoid mutating a process-critical attribute — deferred to a follow-up PR that reuses this fixture.
CapturingAddressSpaceBuilder is a minimal IAddressSpaceBuilder that flattens every Variable() call into a list so tests can inspect what discovery produced without booting the full OPC UA node-manager stack; alarm annotation + property calls are no-ops. Scoped private to the test class.
Galaxy.Proxy.Tests csproj gains a ProjectReference to Driver.Galaxy.TestSupport (PR 36) for AvevaPrerequisites. The NU1702 warning about the Host project being net48-referenced-by-net10 is pre-existing from the HostSubprocessParityTests — Proxy.Tests only needs the Host EXE path for that parity scenario, not type surface.
Test run on THIS machine (OtOpcUaGalaxyHost not yet installed): Skipped! Failed 0, Passed 0, Skipped 5 — each skip message includes the full prerequisites report pointing at the missing service. Once the service is installed + started (scripts\install\Install-Services.ps1), the 5 facts will execute against live Galaxy. Proxy.Tests Unit: 17 pass / 0 fail (unchanged — new tests are Category=LiveGalaxy, separate suite). Full Proxy build clean. Memory already captures the 'live tests run via already-running service, don't spawn' convention (project_galaxy_host_service.md).
lmx-followups.md #5 updated: status is 'IN PROGRESS' across PRs 36 + 37 with the explicit remaining work (install + start services, subscribe-and-receive, write round-trip).

# LMX Galaxy bridge — remaining follow-ups
State after PR 19: the Galaxy driver is functionally at v1 parity through the
`IDriver` abstraction; the OPC UA server runs with LDAP-authenticated
Basic256Sha256 endpoints and alarms are observable through
`AlarmConditionState.ReportEvent`. The items below are what remains LMX-
specific before the stack can fully replace the v1 deployment, in
rough priority order.
## 1. Proxy-side `IHistoryProvider` for `ReadAtTime` / `ReadEvents`
**Status**: Capability surface complete (PR 35). OPC UA HistoryRead service-handler
wiring in `DriverNodeManager` remains as the next step; integration-test still
pending.
PR 35 extended `IHistoryProvider` with `ReadAtTimeAsync` + `ReadEventsAsync`
(default throwing implementations so existing impls keep compiling), added the
`HistoricalEvent` + `HistoricalEventsResult` records to
`Core.Abstractions`, and implemented both methods in `GalaxyProxyDriver` on top
of the PR 10 / PR 11 IPC messages. Wire-to-domain mapping (`ToHistoricalEvent`)
is unit-tested for field fidelity, null-preservation, and `DateTimeKind.Utc`.
**Remaining**:
- `DriverNodeManager` wires the new capability methods onto `HistoryRead`
`AtTime` + `Events` service handlers.
- Integration test: OPC UA client calls `HistoryReadAtTime` / `HistoryReadEvents`,
value flows through IPC to the Host's `HistorianDataSource`, back to the client.
## 2. Write-gating by role — **DONE (PR 26)**
Landed in PR 26. `WriteAuthzPolicy` in `Server/Security/` maps
`SecurityClassification` → required role (`FreeAccess` → no role required,
`Operate`/`SecuredWrite``WriteOperate`, `Tune``WriteTune`,
`Configure`/`VerifiedWrite``WriteConfigure`, `ViewOnly` → deny regardless).
`DriverNodeManager` caches the classification per variable during discovery and
checks the session's roles (via `IRoleBearer`) in `OnWriteValue` before calling
`IWritable.WriteAsync`. Roles do not cascade — a session with `WriteOperate`
can't write a `Tune` attribute unless it also carries `WriteTune`.
See `feedback_acl_at_server_layer.md` in memory for the architectural directive
that authz stays at the server layer and never delegates to driver-specific auth.
## 3. Admin UI client-cert trust management — **DONE (PR 28)**
PR 28 shipped `/certificates` in the Admin UI. `CertTrustService` reads the OPC
UA server's PKI store root (`OpcUaServerOptions.PkiStoreRoot` — default
`%ProgramData%\OtOpcUa\pki`) and lists rejected + trusted certs by parsing the
`.der` files directly, so it has no `Opc.Ua` dependency and runs on any
Admin host that can reach the shared PKI directory.
Operator actions: Trust (moves `rejected/certs/*.der``trusted/certs/*.der`),
Delete rejected, Revoke trust. The OPC UA stack re-reads the trusted store on
each new client handshake, so no explicit reload signal is needed —
operators retry the rejected client's connection after trusting.
Deferred: flipping `AutoAcceptUntrustedClientCertificates` to `false` as the
deployment default. That's a production-hardening config change, not a code
gap — the Admin UI is now ready to be the trust gate.
## 4. Live-LDAP integration test — **DONE (PR 31)**
PR 31 shipped `Server.Tests/LdapUserAuthenticatorLiveTests.cs` — 6 live-bind
tests against the dev GLAuth instance at `localhost:3893`, skipped cleanly
when the port is unreachable. Covers: valid bind, wrong password, unknown
user, empty credentials, single-group → WriteOperate mapping, multi-group
admin user surfacing all mapped roles.
Also added `UserNameAttribute` to `LdapOptions` (default `uid` for RFC 2307
compat) so Active Directory deployments can configure `sAMAccountName` /
`userPrincipalName` without code changes. `LdapUserAuthenticatorAdCompatTests`
(5 unit guards) pins the AD-shape DN parsing + filter escape behaviors. See
`docs/security.md` §"Active Directory configuration" for the AD appsettings
snippet.
Deferred: asserting `session.Identity` end-to-end on the server side (i.e.
drive a full OPC UA session with username/password, then read an
`IHostConnectivityProbe`-style "whoami" node to verify the role surfaced).
That needs a test-only address-space node and is a separate PR.
## 5. Full Galaxy live-service smoke test against the merged v2 stack — **IN PROGRESS (PRs 36 + 37)**
PR 36 shipped the prerequisites helper (`AvevaPrerequisites`) that probes
every dependency a live smoke test needs and produces actionable skip
messages.
PR 37 shipped the live-stack smoke test project structure:
`tests/Driver.Galaxy.Proxy.Tests/LiveStack/` with `LiveStackFixture` (connects
to the *already-running* `OtOpcUaGalaxyHost` Windows service via named pipe;
never spawns the Host process) and `LiveStackSmokeTests` covering:
- Fixture initializes successfully (IPC handshake succeeds end-to-end).
- Driver reports `DriverState.Healthy` post-handshake.
- `DiscoverAsync` returns at least one variable from the live Galaxy.
- `GetHostStatuses` reports at least one Platform/AppEngine host.
- `ReadAsync` on a discovered variable round-trips through
Proxy → Host pipe → MXAccess → back without a BadInternalError.
Shared secret + pipe name resolve from `OTOPCUA_GALAXY_SECRET` /
`OTOPCUA_GALAXY_PIPE` env vars, falling back to reading the service's
registry-stored Environment values (requires elevated test host).
**Remaining**:
- Install + run the `OtOpcUaGalaxyHost` + `OtOpcUa` services on the dev box
(`scripts/install/Install-Services.ps1`) so the skip-on-unready tests
actually execute and the smoke PR lands green.
- Subscribe-and-receive-data-change fact (needs a known tag that actually
ticks; deferred until operators confirm a scratch tag exists).
- Write-and-roundtrip fact (needs a test-only UDA or agreed scratch tag
so we can't accidentally mutate a process-critical value).
## 6. Second driver instance on the same server — **DONE (PR 32)**
`Server.Tests/MultipleDriverInstancesIntegrationTests.cs` registers two
drivers with distinct `DriverInstanceId`s on one `DriverHost`, spins up the
full OPC UA server, and asserts three behaviors: (1) each driver's namespace
URI (`urn:OtOpcUa:{id}`) resolves to a distinct index in the client's
NamespaceUris, (2) browsing one subtree returns that driver's folder and
does NOT leak the other driver's folder, (3) reads route to the correct
driver — the alpha instance returns 42 while beta returns 99, so a misroute
would surface at the assertion layer.
Deferred: the alarm-event multi-driver parity case (two drivers each raising
a `GalaxyAlarmEvent`, assert each condition lands on its owning instance's
condition node). Alarm tracking already has its own integration test
(`AlarmSubscription*`); the multi-driver alarm case would need a stub
`IAlarmSource` that's worth its own focused PR.
## 7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard — **DONE (PRs 33 + 34)**
**PR 33** landed the data layer: `DriverHostStatus` entity + migration with
composite key `(NodeId, DriverInstanceId, HostName)` and two query-supporting
indexes (per-cluster drill-down on `NodeId`, stale-row detection on
`LastSeenUtc`).
**PR 34** wired the publisher + consumer. `HostStatusPublisher` is a
`BackgroundService` in the Server process that walks every registered
`IHostConnectivityProbe`-capable driver every 10s, calls
`GetHostStatuses()`, and upserts rows (`LastSeenUtc` advances each tick;
`State` + `StateChangedUtc` update on transitions). Admin UI `/hosts` page
groups by cluster, shows four summary cards (Hosts / Running / Stale /
Faulted), and flags rows whose `LastSeenUtc` is older than 30s as Stale so
operators see crashed Servers without waiting for a state change.
Deferred as follow-ups:
- Event-driven push (subscribe to `OnHostStatusChanged` per driver for
sub-heartbeat latency). Adds DriverHost lifecycle-event plumbing;
10s polling is fine for operator-scale use.
- Failure-count column — needs the publisher to track a transition history
per host, not just current-state.
- SignalR fan-out to the Admin page (currently the page polls the DB, not
a hub). The DB-polled version is fine at current cadence but a hub push
would eliminate the 10s race where a new row sits in the DB before the
Admin page notices.
