 `AcknowledgeByGuid` maps the synthetic GUID back to its reference via an
 internal dictionary, then calls the same write path.
 
+`SubtagAlarmConsumer.Subscribe` advises the ack-comment subtag alongside the
+observed ones (active/acked/priority). This is required: MXAccess rejects a
+write to an item that has been added but not advised with `E_INVALIDARG`
+("Value does not fall within the expected range"). Advising it at subscribe
+time makes it an active item so the later ack write succeeds — its value
+changes carry no transition (the state machine ignores unmapped addresses).

+### Live validation
+
+The subtag path was validated against live MXAccess on the dev rig
+(`DESKTOP-6JL3KKO`, Galaxy `DEV`, `TestMachine_001.TestAlarm001`):
+
+- `…​.InAlarm` → `True` (Boolean), `…​.Acked` → `False` (Boolean),
+  `…​.Priority` → `500` (Int32), `…​.AckMsg` → string — confirming the field
+  names **and** the runtime reference shape `<Object>.<AlarmAttr>.<field>`
+  with **no** intermediate alarm-condition segment.
+- `AcknowledgeByName` (AckMsg write) returned `0` once the ack-comment subtag
+  was advised — confirming the ack-by-comment-write mechanism end to end.

 ### Fidelity limitations
 
 The following fields are not available or have lower quality in subtag mode:
