I1: Task.WhenAll waits for the slowest device, so concurrency alone still let a device
that accepts TCP and then stalls cost (its tag count x call timeout) per batch. After the
first timeout, transport failure or comms-class status on a device, its remaining tags in
the batch now fail BadCommunicationError immediately, the same as the coalescer's
FailMembers, which now also stops after a failed range. FIXED: tags are still served
from the cache. A malformed address is BadNodeIdUnknown and does not count as a link
failure. Test: a 10-tag stalled device beside a healthy one completes in under 3 call
timeouts with the healthy value Good. The P9 test now also asserts per-client read
counts and that two reads overlapped across devices.
Minors:
- 1: a superseded init releases its table only if it was never published (flag).
- 2: a fixed-tree refusal credits LastSuccessfulRead; a value-path refusal after a comms
fault restores Healthy.
- 5: alarm/fixed/refusal health is reset inside the publish lock, after the generation
check.
- 6: FocasFixedTreeHealthTests wait on served-failure/refusal counters, not wall-clock.
- 8: data-path health writes (reads, coalescer, writes, poll errors, refusals) carry the
generation they started under and are dropped once a lifecycle call has moved on. Each
write is a check-and-set under the lifecycle lock.
Also adds a unit case where 20 vendor records with type 0 and empty messages stay vendor.
