The node manager composes the start/end bounds from each backend's existing raw
reads (one authority, HistoryBounds): at-or-before = a capped reverse read
(native, or ReverseRawReader's walk-back on a forward-only backend — never
AVEVA's synthetic boundary row), at-or-after = a capped forward read. Bounds
count toward NumValuesPerNode, the start bound leads the first page, the end
bound ends the last (carried in the continuation point). Missing bound =
Bad_BoundNotFound (null, at the bound time; one-sided reads ±1 s from the
previous value, Table 1 footnotes a/b). A modified read with ReturnBounds is
Bad_InvalidArgument (Part 11 6.5.3.3).
The .NET SDK's ReadRawModifiedDetails defaults ReturnBounds to TRUE; the
existing tests built details without setting it and now set it false.
Oracle: every row of Part 11 Table 1 over three backend shapes, plus paging
concatenation, ties, Bad bounds, microsecond truncation; conformance pins the
lookup primitives on SqlServer + QuestDB.
