# MxAccessGateway — Remediation Tracking (2026-07-12 review)

Master progress tracker for the 2026-07-12 follow-up architecture review. Generated 2026-07-13.

Source review: [`../00-overall.md`](../00-overall.md) · Per-domain remediation designs are linked below and hold the full **Finding / Impact / Design / Implementation / Verification** for every entry here. The first-cycle tracker ([`../../remediation/00-tracking.md`](../../remediation/00-tracking.md)) remains the record for the original 153 findings; this document tracks only the 47 new IDs (GWC-24+, WRK-21+, IPC-23+, SEC-31+, CLI-35+, TST-25+) plus the old-tracker actions listed at the end.

## How to use this document

- Each finding has a stable ID that never changes. Cite it in commits, branches, and PRs (e.g. `fix(GWC-25): empty-ring ReplayGap sentinel`).
- The **Status** column is the single source of truth for progress. Update it in the same change that lands the fix.
- Do the work in **roadmap-tier order** (P0 → P1 → P2), respecting the `Dep` column and the cross-cutting clusters below — several fixes are one change set across two domains and must land together.
- When a fix lands: flip Status to `Done` and, per the repo rule, update the affected docs in the same commit.

**Status legend:** `Not started` · `In progress` · `In review` · `Done` · `Won't fix` (record why in the domain doc) · `N/A` (informational / decision recorded, no action).

## Cross-cutting clusters

Sequence these together rather than piecemeal — several are one change set spanning two domains:

- **Drain / oversized-frame cluster (P0):** WRK-21 + IPC-23 + IPC-30, with WRK-28 and WRK-23 in the same batch. One worker change set in `WorkerPipeSession.cs`/`WorkerFrameWriter.cs`; WRK-21 owns the byte-budgeted drain and must satisfy IPC-23's requirements R1–R3; IPC-30's structured-fault seam lands in the same drain loop. IPC-23's proto-comment edits trigger the full regen fan-out (Generated/, Rust vendored, Go/Java, descriptor set) — land with WRK-21 so the wave happens once. One windev x86 verification run for the cluster.
- **ReplayGap end-to-end (P0):** GWC-25 (server sentinel arithmetic) + CLI-35 (Python CLI) + CLI-36 (Go CLI). Independently landable; the e2e resume walk validates only when all three are in.
- **Auth limiter (P0):** SEC-31 + SEC-32 — same component, one change set, one test suite.
- **Codegen freshness (P0):** IPC-24 + IPC-25 (+ IPC-32 folded in). Both edit `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` — coordinate the branch with TST-25, which touches the same file.
- **Windows-tier automation (P1):** TST-25 + TST-26 (same commit). Unlocks old TST-05/TST-24 and provides CI evidence for every windev-verified cluster above; until it lands, record windev runs in this tracker's change log.
- **Client conformance + release train (P1):** CLI-37 + CLI-38 co-land (one conformance commit; closes old CLI-08), then CLI-45, with CLI-40/41 fixtures as follow-ups; **CLI-39 lands last** so published 0.2.0 carries the conformant behavior. Shared fixtures under `clients/proto/fixtures/behavior/`; update CrossLanguageSmokeMatrix.md/ClientLibrariesDesign.md same-commit. Do not republish regenerated bindings (IPC-25) before CLI-39 resolves.
- **Doc-drift batch (P1):** TST-27 + WRK-26 (discharges IPC-29) + CLI-42 + IPC-28 + SEC-35's doc note — one sweep commit is fine.
- **Backpressure follow-on (P1):** GWC-24, coordinating with still-open old GWC-21 (`EventChannelFullModeTimeout` configurability).

## Old-tracker actions ([`../../remediation/00-tracking.md`](../../remediation/00-tracking.md))

- Close **CLI-24** and **CLI-34** as `Done` (incidentally fixed; evidence in [../50-clients.md](../50-clients.md)).
- When CLI-38 lands, close old **CLI-08** with a pointer here.
- When WRK-26 lands, its doc section also discharges the WorkerFrameProtocol gap; when TST-25 lands, revisit old **TST-05** (scheduled live smoke) and **TST-24** (client wire tests), which it unlocks.

## Change log

| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-07-13 | Initial tracking doc generated from the six domain remediation designs. All 47 findings `Not started` (IPC-31, SEC-35 `N/A`). |
| 2026-07-13 | TST-25/TST-26 → `In progress` (branch `fix/tst-25-windev-ci`). Added `scripts/ci/{windev-worker-ci.ps1,run-windev-ci.sh,windev.known_hosts}`, `windows-x86` (per-push) + `nightly-windev` (scheduled) jobs in `ci.yml`, and the TST-26 doc/comment fixes (GatewayTesting.md, Contracts.md, check-codegen.ps1). Mechanism hand-verified on windev: `build`→0, bogus-SHA→nonzero (lock released), `test`→356 passed/0 failed in ~50s (per-push stays `test`, no demotion), and run-windev-ci.sh SSH+EncodedCommand exit-code propagation confirmed. |
| 2026-07-13 | Operator bring-up complete: dedicated CI ed25519 key installed in windev `administrators_authorized_keys` (authorized into `dohertj2`, which owns the working MXAccess/toolchain env — a fresh OS account would break the build; the key is independently revocable), Gitea secrets `WINDEV_SSH_KEY`/`WINDEV_SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS` + variable `WINDEV_SSH_USER=dohertj2` stored, runner→`10.100.0.48:22` egress verified on the `traefik` net, issue-write confirmed. **TST-25/TST-26 → `Done`:** credentialed `windows-x86` ran GREEN on `d769244` (Gitea run #37) — Linux runner SSHed windev, checked out the SHA in `C:\build\mxaccessgw-ci` under lock, ran the x86 Worker build + `Worker.Tests`, exit 0; `nightly-windev` correctly skipped on the push event. Branch merged to `main`. Follow-ups (old tracker): revisit **TST-05** (scheduled live smoke — now covered by `nightly-windev`) and **TST-24** (client wire tests) which this unlocks. Negative-path acceptance checks (deliberate-red, unreachable-host, lock concurrency, forced-failure nightly issue) not yet run — happy-path only. |
