Closes the gap surfaced by Phase 7 live smoke (#240): DriverInstance rows in
the central config DB had no path to materialise as live IDriver instances in
DriverHost, so virtual-tag scripts read BadNodeIdUnknown for every tag.
## DriverFactoryRegistry (Core.Hosting)
Process-singleton type-name → factory map. Each driver project's static
Register call pre-loads its factory at Program.cs startup; the bootstrapper
looks up by DriverInstance.DriverType + invokes with (DriverInstanceId,
DriverConfig JSON). Case-insensitive; duplicate-type registration throws.
## GalaxyProxyDriverFactoryExtensions.Register (Driver.Galaxy.Proxy)
Static helper — no Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection dep, keeps the
driver project free of DI machinery. Parses DriverConfig JSON for PipeName +
SharedSecret + ConnectTimeoutMs. DriverInstanceId from the row wins over JSON
per the schema's UX_DriverInstance_Generation_LogicalId.
## DriverInstanceBootstrapper (Server)
After NodeBootstrap loads the published generation: queries DriverInstance
rows scoped to that generation, looks up the factory per row, constructs +
DriverHost.RegisterAsync (which calls InitializeAsync). Per plan decision
#12 (driver isolation), failure of one driver doesn't prevent others —
logs ERR + continues + returns the count actually registered. Unknown
DriverType (factory not registered) logs WRN + skips so a missing-assembly
deployment doesn't take down the whole server.
## Wired into OpcUaServerService.ExecuteAsync
After NodeBootstrap.LoadCurrentGenerationAsync, before
PopulateEquipmentContentAsync + Phase7Composer.PrepareAsync. The Phase 7
chain now sees a populated DriverHost so CachedTagUpstreamSource has an
upstream feed.
## Live evidence on the dev box
Re-ran the Phase 7 smoke from task #240. Pre-#248 vs post-#248:
Equipment namespace snapshots loaded for 0/0 driver(s) ← before
Equipment namespace snapshots loaded for 1/1 driver(s) ← after
Galaxy.Host pipe ACL denied our SID (env-config issue documented in
docs/ServiceHosting.md, NOT a code issue) — the bootstrapper logged it as
"failed to initialize, driver state will reflect Faulted" and continued past
the failure exactly per plan #12. The rest of the pipeline (Equipment walker
+ Phase 7 composer) ran to completion.
## Tests — 5 new DriverFactoryRegistryTests
Register + TryGet round-trip, case-insensitive lookup, duplicate-type throws,
null-arg guards, RegisteredTypes snapshot. Pure functions; no DI/DB needed.
The bootstrapper's DB-query path is exercised by the live smoke (#240) which
operators run before each release.
