Actual ScadaBridge consumer compatibility

This isolated process references the real ScadaBridge OpcUaDataConnection and RealOpcUaClient, with their own dependency graph. It never loads the candidate SDK into that process. The verified consumer source is 0e89966da670e289bd875166295bb0e85d8cf8b2, pinned to SDK 1.5.378.106.

Build with an explicit clean consumer checkout:

dotnet build scripts/validation/scadabridge-sdk-compatibility/Probe.csproj \
  -c Release -p:ScadaBridgeSourceRoot=/absolute/ScadaBridge

First build the separate application hosts with the parent scripts/e2e/test-opcua-sdk-compatibility.ps1 harness. Then choose a new output directory and pass its original and candidate ProcessHost.dll paths:

python3 scripts/validation/scadabridge-sdk-compatibility/run.py \
  --baseline-host /absolute/matrix/build-baseline/bin/Release/net10.0/ProcessHost.dll \
  --candidate-host /absolute/matrix/build-candidate/bin/Release/net10.0/ProcessHost.dll \
  --probe scripts/validation/scadabridge-sdk-compatibility/bin/Release/net10.0/Probe.dll \
  --results /absolute/fresh-consumer-evidence

The helper runs each application version with None, Sign and SignAndEncrypt, plus two trust negative controls per secure profile (server does not trust the client, client does not trust the server) that must fail closed. None and Sign are enabled only in their own test fixtures (OPCUA_MATRIX_SERVER_SECURITY=none|sign); the ordinary compatibility host remains strict SignAndEncrypt. Before each secure leg the probe's prepare step provisions the consumer identity through ScadaBridge's own certificate code and exports only its public certificate, which the runner places in the server's trusted store before the server starts. OPCUA_MATRIX_ACL=off disables the server's node-ACL check. The fixture's Eq equipment folder is placed in the authority snapshot (unsFolderScopes, as a deployed generation does since lmxopcua#808, fixed in lmxopcua#888), so the UNS cases pass with the ACL on and off; an unplaced Unplaced UNS folder is kept as a negative control that the Shared client leg requires to stay denied with the ACL on. The task key is generated per process pair, issuer/trusted/rejected stores are task-local, and server public certificates are explicitly copied. Autoaccept remains false. Never commit an entire output directory: it contains the fixture's private PKI.

The consumed subset covers API-key activation, raw/UNS scalar and Int32[] roundtrips, durable hierarchical browse including the native alarm, data quality and timestamps on raw and UNS subscriptions, alarm filter/ConditionRefresh, disconnect/reconnect, and (ScadaBridge#125) a Server-object alarm subscription on the reconnected session whose ConditionRefresh must replay the active native condition (11 cases per trusted leg). History and Part 9 acknowledgment are not exposed by the inspected consumer interfaces; the parent Shared/CLI matrix covers those application services instead.

ScadaBridge#121 (consumer never configured an application certificate) is fixed in ScadaBridge ff835447/36c64a6b. Re-run 2026-11-12 with ScadaBridge 424db155: None, Sign and SignAndEncrypt 9/9 against the SDK 1.5.378 baseline (83ed880e), the SDK 2.0.1 candidate (ebdc5892) and master 182fb353 with ACL off; all trust negative controls failed closed. The runner retains the nonzero result and each actual failure; it does not loosen trust or change expected results to return success. No ScadaBridge production source or user PKI is modified.

Redundancy failover (ScadaBridge#125)

run.py also runs a failover suite (--suites matrix,failover, both by default; --versions candidate runs one application version only). Each leg starts two independent servers and runs Probe failover <primary> <backup> <mode> <dir>, which drives ScadaBridge's own DataConnectionActor (the production primary/backup state machine, the real DataConnectionFactory, production DataConnectionOptions defaults, FailoverRetryCount = 3). Once the probe has a steady primary (Good values on a raw and a UNS tag, a write, the Server-object alarm subscription with its ConditionRefresh) it writes primary-ready; the runner then loses the primary and writes primary-killed. The probe must then see Bad quality pushed, "Connected to backup", Good values whose first value is the backup's own (proving the source), a fresh ConditionRefresh replaying the native condition, and a write through the backup. Two loss shapes run per security mode (--failover-modes None,SignAndEncrypt, --failover-loss kill,freeze):

• kill — SIGKILL; the OS closes the primary's sockets, so the client sees the loss at once.
• freeze — SIGSTOP; the sockets stay open and silent (hung host / dead link), so only the consumer's session keep-alive can detect it.

ScadaBridge does not read ServiceLevel/ServerRedundancy: its failover is endpoint-level (primary/backup connection details), so two independent fixture servers exercise exactly what it consumes. rig-failover.sh <Probe.dll> <dir> runs the same probe against the real local docker-dev pair (central-1 :4840, central-2 :4841), docker kills central-1 once the primary is steady and starts it again afterwards. The rig admits anonymous sessions read-only and has no active native alarm, so that variant checks values and ConditionRefresh completion only. Local docker-dev only; never point it at a wonder box.

Run 2026-11-12 (ScadaBridge#125) with ScadaBridge 94ae1860 (SDK client 1.5.378.106), ACL off, against the SDK 1.5.378.182 baseline (83ed880e) and master a28adba2 (SDK 2.0.1): matrix 11/11 in None, Sign and SignAndEncrypt on both, all 8 trust controls failed closed (0x80130000 / 0x801A0000); failover 8/8 legs (11/11 cases each). Loss-to-backup timings are the same on both versions: kill about 20 s (three 5 s reconnect attempts, then the backup), freeze about 20 s to detect and 86–130 s to reach the backup, because each reconnect attempt waits out a connect timeout against the silent primary. rig-failover.sh passed 9/9 against the docker-dev pair (image SDK 2.0.1), central-1 killed, about 20 s to central-2.
