AB CIP PR 3 — IReadable implementation against libplctag. Introduces IAbCipTagRuntime + IAbCipTagFactory abstraction matching the Modbus transport-factory pattern (ctor optional arg, default production impl injected) so the driver's read/status-mapping logic is unit-testable without a live PLC or the native libplctag binary. LibplctagTagRuntime is the default wire-backed implementation — wraps libplctag.Tag + translates our AbCipDataType enum into GetInt8/GetUInt8/GetInt16/GetUInt16/GetInt32/GetUInt32/GetInt64/GetUInt64/GetFloat32/GetFloat64/GetString/GetBit calls covering Bool (standalone + BOOL-in-DINT via .N bit selector), SInt/USInt, Int/UInt, DInt/UDInt, LInt/ULInt, Real, LReal, String, Dt (epoch DINT), with Structure deferred to PR 6. MapPlcType bridges our libplctag attribute strings (controllogix, compactlogix, micro800) to libplctag.PlcType enum; CompactLogix rolls under ControlLogix per libplctag's family grouping which matches the wire protocol reality. AbCipDriver now implements IReadable — ReadAsync iterates fullReferences preserving order, looks up each tag definition + its device, lazily materialises the tag runtime via EnsureTagRuntimeAsync on first touch (cached thereafter for the lifetime of the device), catches OperationCanceledException to honor cancellation, maps libplctag non-zero status via AbCipStatusMapper.MapLibplctagStatus, catches any other exception as BadCommunicationError. Health surface moves to Healthy on success + Degraded with the last error message on failure. Initialize-failure path disposes the half-created runtime before rethrowing so no native handles leak. DeviceState gains a Runtimes dict alongside the existing TagHandles collection; DisposeHandles walks both so ShutdownAsync + ReinitializeAsync cleanly destroy every native tag. 12 new unit tests in AbCipDriverReadTests using FakeAbCipTag / FakeAbCipTagFactory (test fake under tests/...AbCip.Tests/FakeAbCipTag.cs) covering unknown reference → BadNodeIdUnknown, unknown device → BadNodeIdUnknown, successful DInt read with correct Good status + captured value, lazy-init on first read with reuse across subsequent reads, non-zero libplctag status mapping via AbCipStatusMapper, exception during read surfacing as BadCommunicationError with health Degraded, batched reads preserving order + per-tag status, health Healthy after success, TagCreateParams composition from device + profile (gateway / port / CIP path / libplctag attribute / tag name wiring), cancellation propagation via OperationCanceledException, ShutdownAsync disposing every runtime, Initialize-failure disposing the aborted runtime. Total AbCip unit tests now 88/88 passing. Integration test project scaffolding — tests/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.AbCip.IntegrationTests with AbServerFixture (IAsyncLifetime that starts ab_server when the binary is on PATH, otherwise marks IsAvailable=false), AbServerFact attribute (Fact-equivalent that skips when ab_server is missing), one smoke test exercising DInt read end-to-end. Project runs cleanly — the single smoke test skips on boxes without ab_server (0 failed, 0 passed, 1 skipped) + runs on boxes with it. Follow-up work captured in comments — ab_server CI fixture (download prebuilt Windows x64 binary as GitHub release asset) + per-family JSON profiles + hand-rolled CIP stub for UDT fidelity ship in the PR 6/9-12 window. Solution file updated. Full solution builds 0 errors across all 28 projects. Modbus + other existing tests untouched.

AB CIP PR 2 — scaffolding + Core (AbCipDriver skeleton + libplctag binding + host / tag-path / data-type / status-code parsers + per-family profiles + SafeHandle wrapper + test harness). Ships everything needed to stand up the driver project as a compiling assembly with no wire calls yet — PR 3 adds IReadable against ab_server which is the first PR that actually touches the native library. Project reference shape matches Modbus / OpcUaClient / S7 (only Core.Abstractions, no Core / Configuration / Polly) so the driver stays lean and doesn't drag EF Core into every deployment that wants AB support. libplctag 1.5.2 pinned (1.6.x only exists as alpha — stable 1.5 series covers ControlLogix / CompactLogix / Micro800 / SLC500 / PLC-5 / MicroLogix which matches plan decision #11 family coverage). libplctag.NativeImport arrives transitively. AbCipHostAddress parses ab://gateway[:port]/cip-path canonical strings end-to-end: handles hostname or IP gateway, optional explicit port (default 44818 EtherNet-IP reserved), CIP path including bridged routes (1,2,2,10.0.0.10,1,0), empty path for Micro800 / MicroLogix without backplane routing, case-insensitive scheme, default-port stripping in canonical form for round-trip stability. Opaque string survives straight into libplctag's gateway / path attributes so no translation layer at wire time. AbCipTagPath handles the full Logix symbolic tag surface — controller-scope (Motor1_Speed), program-scope (Program:MainProgram.StepIndex), structured member access (Motor1.Speed.Setpoint), multi-dim array subscripts (Matrix[1,2,3]), bit-within-DINT via .N syntax (Flags.3, Motor.Status.12) with valid range 0-31 per Logix 5000 General Instructions Reference. Structural capture so PR 6 UDT work can walk the path against a cached template without reparsing. Rejects malformed shapes (empty scopes, ident starting with digit, spaces, empty/negative/non-numeric subscripts, unbalanced brackets, leading / trailing dots). Round-trips via ToLibplctagName producing the exact string libplctag's name attribute expects. AbCipDataType mirrors ModbusDataType shape — atomic Bool / SInt / Int / DInt / LInt / USInt / UInt / UDInt / ULInt / Real / LReal / String / Dt plus a Structure marker for UDT-typed tags (resolved via CIP Template Object at discovery time in PR 5/6). ToDriverDataType adapter follows the Modbus widening convention for unsigned + 64-bit until DriverDataType picks those up. AbCipStatusMapper covers the CIP general-status values an AB PLC actually returns during normal operation (0x00/0x04/0x05/0x06/0x08/0x0A/0x0B/0x0E/0x10/0x13/0x16) + libplctag PLCTAG_STATUS_* codes (0, >0 pending, negative error families). Mirrors ModbusDriver.MapModbusExceptionToStatus so Admin UI status displays stay uniform across drivers. PlcTagHandle is a SafeHandle around the int32 native tag ID with plc_tag_destroy slot wired as a no-op for PR 2 (P/Invoke DllImport arrives with PR 3 when the wire calls land). Lifetime guaranteed by the SafeHandle finalizer — every leaked handle gets cleaned up even when the owner is GC'd without explicit Dispose. IsInvalid when native ID <= 0 so destroying a negative (error) handle never happens. Critical because driver-specs.md §3 flags libplctag native heap as invisible to GetMemoryFootprint — leaked handles directly feed the Tier-B recycle trigger. AbCipDriverOptions captures the multi-device shape — one driver instance can talk to N PLCs via Devices[] (each with HostAddress + PlcFamily + optional DeviceName); Tags[] references devices by HostAddress as the cross-key; AbCipProbeOptions + driver-wide Timeout. AbCipDriver implements IDriver only — InitializeAsync parses every device's HostAddress and selects its PlcFamilyProfile (fails fast on malformed strings via InvalidOperationException → Faulted health), per-device state cached in a DeviceState record with parsed address + profile + empty TagHandles dict for later PRs. ReinitializeAsync is the Tier-B escape hatch — shuts down every device, disposes every PlcTagHandle via SafeHandle lifetime, reinitializes from options. ShutdownAsync clears the device dict and flips health to Unknown. PlcFamilies/AbCipPlcFamilyProfile gives four baseline profiles — ControlLogix (4002 ConnectionSize, path 1,0, Large Forward Open + request packing + connected messaging, FW20+ baseline), CompactLogix (narrower 504 default for 5069-L3x safety), Micro800 (488 cap, empty path, unconnected-only, no request packing), GuardLogix (shares ControlLogix wire protocol — safety partition is tag-level, surfaced as ViewOnly in PR 12). Tests — 76 new cases across 4 test classes — AbCipHostAddressTests (10 valid shapes, 10 invalid shapes, ToString canonicalization, round-trip stability), AbCipTagPathTests (18 cases including multi-scope / multi-member / multi-subscript / bit-in-DINT / rejected shapes / underscore idents / round-trip), AbCipStatusMapperTests (12 CIP + 8 libplctag codes), AbCipDriverTests (IDriver lifecycle + multi-device init + malformed-address fault + per-family profile lookup + PlcTagHandle invalid/dispose idempotency + AbCipDataType mapping). Full solution builds 0 errors; 254 warnings are pre-existing xUnit1051 CancellationToken hints outside this PR. Solution file updated to include both new projects. Unblocks PR 3 (IReadable against ab_server) which is the first PR to exercise the native library end-to-end.
