Joseph Doherty 7f9d6a778e Auto: focas-f3a — cnc_rdalmhistry alarm-history extension
Adds FocasAlarmProjection with two modes (ActiveOnly default, ActivePlusHistory)
that polls cnc_rdalmhistry on connect + on a configurable cadence (5 min default,
HistoryDepth=100 capped at 250). Emits historic events via IAlarmSource with
SourceTimestampUtc set from the CNC's reported timestamp; dedup keyed on
(OccurrenceTime, AlarmNumber, AlarmType). Ships the ODBALMHIS packed-buffer
decoder + encoder in Wire/FocasAlarmHistoryDecoder.cs and threads
ReadAlarmHistoryAsync through IFocasClient (default no-op so existing transport
variants stay back-compat). FocasDriver now implements IAlarmSource.

13 new unit tests cover: mode switch, dedup, distinct-timestamp emission,
type-as-key behaviour, OccurrenceTime passthrough (not Now), HistoryDepth
clamp/fallback, and decoder round-trip. All 341 FOCAS unit tests still pass.

# FOCAS driver
Fanuc CNC driver for the FS 0i / 16i / 18i / 21i / 30i / 31i / 32i / 35i /
Power Mate i families. Talks to the controller via the licensed
`Fwlib32.dll` (Tier C, process-isolated per
[`docs/v2/driver-stability.md`](../v2/driver-stability.md)).
For range-validation and per-series capability surface see
[`docs/v2/focas-version-matrix.md`](../v2/focas-version-matrix.md).
## Alarm history (`cnc_rdalmhistry`) — issue #267, plan PR F3-a
`FocasAlarmProjection` exposes two modes via `FocasDriverOptions.AlarmProjection`:
| Mode | Behaviour |
| --- | --- |
| `ActiveOnly` *(default)* | Subscribe / unsubscribe / acknowledge wire up so capability negotiation works, but no history poll runs. Back-compat with every pre-F3-a deployment. |
| `ActivePlusHistory` | On subscribe (== "on connect") and on every `HistoryPollInterval` tick, the projection issues `cnc_rdalmhistry` for the most recent `HistoryDepth` entries. Each previously-unseen entry fires an `OnAlarmEvent` with `SourceTimestampUtc` set from the CNC's reported timestamp — OPC UA dashboards see the real occurrence time, not the moment the projection polled. |
### Config knobs
```jsonc
{
"AlarmProjection": {
"Mode": "ActivePlusHistory", // "ActiveOnly" (default) | "ActivePlusHistory"
"HistoryPollInterval": "00:05:00", // default 5 min
"HistoryDepth": 100 // default 100, capped at 250
}
}
```
### Dedup key
`(OccurrenceTime, AlarmNumber, AlarmType)`. The same triple across two
polls only emits once. The dedup set is in-memory and **resets on
reconnect** — first poll after reconnect re-emits everything in the ring
buffer. OPC UA clients that need exactly-once semantics dedupe client-side
on the same triple (the timestamp + type + number tuple is stable across
the boundary).
### `HistoryDepth` cap
Capped at `FocasAlarmProjectionOptions.MaxHistoryDepth = 250` so an
operator who types `10000` by accident can't blast the wire session with a
giant request. Typical FANUC ring buffers cap at ~100 entries; the default
`HistoryDepth = 100` matches the most common ring-buffer size.
### Wire surface
- Wire-protocol command id: `0x0F1A` (see
[`docs/v2/implementation/focas-wire-protocol.md`](../v2/implementation/focas-wire-protocol.md)).
- ODBALMHIS struct decoder: `Wire/FocasAlarmHistoryDecoder.cs`.
- Tier-C Fwlib32 backend short-circuits the packed-buffer decoder by
surfacing the FWLIB struct fields directly into
`FocasAlarmHistoryEntry`.
