FocasDataType.String was authorable on any address, but no area read returns text: PMC
fell through to a byte read, PARAM to Int32, MACRO to a double, and the String node
received a boxed number at Good.
One rule, FocasTagDefinitionFactory.DescribeDataTypeMismatch, now backs every path:
- FromTagConfig rejects the pair, so the driver skips + reports it (BadNodeIdUnknown,
never a Good number) and Inspect names the reason at deploy;
- FocasTagConfigModel.Validate refuses it on the typed fields;
- the AdminUI editor only offers String where it is readable and shows the rule's text
inline (kept visible for a loaded blob that already carries it);
- the CLI read/subscribe/probe/write commands refuse it at the boundary.
String stays valid on FIXED: paths (Identity/Program name/mode text) and is ignored on
ALARM: tags; an unparseable address keeps its own diagnosis.
Razor change (FocasTagConfigEditor.razor) needs the Wave 4 live check.
