C1 (CRITICAL). AuthoredTable routed any wildcard-authored tag into `Wildcards`
and never into the concrete topic index. But the two paths that reconstruct
state from a SUBSCRIBED FILTER STRING — OnReconnectedAsync's re-subscribe set
and DegradeTopic — both looked up that concrete-only index, and
`_subscribedTopics` keys on the wildcard PATTERN ("f/+/temp"). So:
- reconnect resolved zero filters for a wildcard tag, hit a silent early
return, and issued NO subscribe. The cache keeps its last Good value, so the
tag never turns Bad — it just stops updating forever behind a connection
reporting healthy. Exactly the silent-death mode MqttConnection's own remarks
warn about, left unguarded for wildcards.
- DegradeTopic missed too, so a SUBACK rejection of a wildcard filter degraded
nothing and left the tag at BadWaitingForInitialData.
Fix: AuthoredTable now carries `ByFilter` (EVERY def, keyed by its authored
topic filter, wildcards included) alongside `ByExactTopic` (concrete only) and
`Wildcards`. Delivery matches an incoming published topic — which never carries
a wildcard — so it keeps using ByExactTopic + the comparer scan. Every path
keyed on a filter string uses ByFilter. The distinction is documented on the
record. The silent early return is now a Warning naming the orphaned topics.
Also in this pass:
- I2: bounded decode on the dispatcher thread. A body over `MaxPayloadBytes`
(default 1 MiB, ctor-settable) is refused BEFORE any GetString/JsonDocument
parse and degrades its own tags. Unbounded decode on the shared dispatcher is
paid by every subscription, not just the offending topic. NOTE: promoting this
to an operator-facing MqttDriverOptions key (+ WithMaximumPacketSize) needs a
.Contracts edit this task is scoped out of; flagged in the XML docs.
- I3: integral-valued reals now coerce to integer tags. JS/Python edge gateways
serialize an integer as 5.0, and TryGetInt32/int.TryParse are syntactic — an
Int32 tag fed by such a gateway silently never received data. Parsed via
decimal so integrality and range are exact across Int64/UInt64. A genuinely
fractional 5.5 is still refused, never rounded.
- I4: the JSON document is parsed ONCE per message and shared across the whole
fan-out (the documented "one document, one JSONPath per signal" shape was
re-parsing per tag). Zero-alloc via a ref struct when no Json tag matches.
- I5: pinned the documented JSON-string-holding-a-number coercion end-to-end.
- Minor: Register now prunes `_subscribedTopics` / `_handleByRawPath` entries for
tags a redeploy dropped, so a deleted topic stops being re-subscribed forever.
