The cross-language e2e matrix spawned one CLI process per operation —
~250 per client — paying a process (and, for the Java CLI, a full JVM)
cold-start every time. The Java leg alone ran ~16 minutes.
Each client CLI (dotnet, go, rust, python, java) gains a `batch`
subcommand: a single process that reads one command line from stdin,
runs it through the normal subcommand dispatch, writes the JSON result,
then a line containing exactly `__MXGW_BATCH_EOR__`. A failing command
writes its `{"error":...}` envelope and the loop continues.
run-client-e2e-tests.ps1 now launches one batch process per client and
pings every operation through its stdin/stdout, so startup is paid once
per client. The orchestration and assertions are unchanged; the parity
and auth phases now read the `{"error":...}` envelope instead of a
process exit code.
Full 5-client matrix with -VerifyWrite: ~15 min, down from ~35; the Java
leg dropped from ~16 min to ~2-3.

The cross-language client e2e matrix failed for dotnet and Java. Both
failures were in the harness, not the client code.
1. Per-call toolchain cold-start. The matrix issues ~250 CLI calls per
client; it invoked `dotnet run` / `gradle :mxgateway-cli:run` every
time, rebuilding and cold-starting the toolchain per call. Build each
CLI once up front (`dotnet build`, `gradle :mxgateway-cli:installDist`)
and invoke the compiled artifact directly. This alone fixes dotnet.
2. Worker event-channel overflow. The per-tag advise loop advises every
discovered tag with no StreamEvents consumer attached, so change
events accumulate in the worker event channel
(MxGateway:Events:QueueCapacity) until FailFast faults the worker.
dotnet's faster loop slipped under the window; the Java CLI's
process-per-call JVM cold-start did not. Every -DrainEveryTags advised
tags (default 15) the loop connects a short StreamEvents drain; the
gateway's per-stream producer empties the channel the instant a
subscriber attaches, so a small bounded read suffices.
Full 5-client matrix (dotnet, go, rust, python, java) now passes with
-VerifyWrite against a live gateway.

Second re-review pass at commit a020350 caught 48 new findings — including
one High-severity regression I introduced in the prior sweep — and fixed
them all in one parallel wave.
High (1)
- Client.Python-018: prior sweep set `license = "Proprietary"` in
pyproject.toml. setuptools >= 77 enforces PEP 639 and rejects the
string (it must be a valid SPDX expression), so `pip wheel .` and
`pip install -e .` both fail before any source compiles. Tests
still pass because pytest bypasses the build backend via
`pythonpath`. Dropped the invalid license string, kept the
`License :: Other/Proprietary License` classifier, and added
`tests/test_packaging.py` so a future regression of the same shape
is caught in CI.
Mediums (6)
- Worker-023: `HeartbeatStuckCeiling` (default 75s = 5x HeartbeatGrace)
on WorkerPipeSessionOptions bounds the in-flight-command watchdog
suppression so a truly stuck COM call still triggers StaHung
instead of permanently defeating the watchdog.
- Client.Rust-018: reverted Rust's `latencyMs` split so the
cross-language bench comparison is apples-to-apples again;
`failureLatencyMs` kept as Rust-only enrichment.
- Client.Java-021: applied Client.Java-002's terminal-state
serialisation pattern to DeployEventStream so close() arriving
after queue-overflow can't erase the overflow exception.
- IntegrationTests-017: teardown-parity test now uses a two-window
stability check after UnAdvise instead of strict equality against
the pre-UnAdvise count (which raced against in-flight events).
- IntegrationTests-019: new RecordingTestOutputHelper wraps every
log sink the WriteSecured live test owns (worker stdout/stderr,
gateway logs, direct WriteLine) so the credential is proven
absent from the full output buffer, not just the diagnostic
message.
- Tests-020: added MxAccessGatewayServiceConstraintTests coverage
for the previously-uncovered Write2Bulk and WriteSecured2Bulk
arms of WriteBulkConstraintPlan.SetPayload.
Lows (41 — highlights)
- Server: Galaxy glob cache eviction is race-free (Server-024);

AlarmsOptions validated at startup (Server-026); Authorization.md
Constraint Enforcement snippet/prose enumerate the bulk write/read
family (Server-027); bulk-read-commands and bulk-write-commands
capability tokens added to OpenSession (Server-029);
NotWiredAlarmRpcDispatcher XML doc and missing scope-resolver and
state-machine tests cleaned up (023, 028).
- Worker: AlarmCommandHandler now invokes the same STA-affinity
guard the poll path uses, at every command entry (Worker-024);
RunAsync null-checks the runtime-session factory result
(Worker-025).
- Worker.Tests: shared LiveMxAccessOptInVariableName lives on
GatewayContractInfo (Worker.Tests-025); MxAccessSession.CreateForTesting
rejects production sinks (Worker.Tests-026); FakeRuntimeSession's
CancelCommandReturnValue serialised under lock (Worker.Tests-027);
Probes namespace lifted to MxGateway.Worker.Tests.Probes
(Worker.Tests-029); cancel-envelope sequence numbers monotonised
(Worker.Tests-030); docs/GatewayTesting.md gains a "Dev-rig Probes"
section (Worker.Tests-028).
- Tests: ManualTimeProvider consolidated into one TestSupport/ copy
(Tests-021); SessionManagerBulkTests adds a mid-flight cancellation
test backed by a TaskCompletionSource fake (Tests-022); companion
FakeWorkerProcess.WaitForExitAsync no longer fakes its exit signal
(Tests-023); constraint plan reply-count divergence pinned
(Tests-024).
- IntegrationTests: TryGetSession chain carries [MaybeNullWhen(false)]
end-to-end (IntegrationTests-018); abnormal-exit keyword set
tightened to pipe-disconnected/end-of-stream and the test now
asserts streamTask.IsFaulted (020, 021).
- Client.Dotnet: bench commands added to isLongRunning so the
default 30s wall-clock budget doesn't kill them (015);
BenchStreamEventsAsync observes the inner stream task on every
exit path (016).
- Client.Go: parseValue wraps strconv errors with flag context and
%w (017); bench loops honour ctx.Done() (018); galaxy-watch parses
RFC3339Nano with fractional seconds (019); runStreamEvents installs
signal.NotifyContext like runGalaxyWatch (020); five new CLI-level
table-driven tests cover the bulk/bench subcommands (021).
- Client.Java: toCompletable Javadoc rewritten to match the actual
cancellation contract Client.Java-015 established (022); stream-events
text path uses Long.toUnsignedString for worker_sequence (023);
bench-read-bulk no longer pollutes success-latency histogram with
failure durations (024); --shutdown-timeout CLI option propagates
through to ClientOptions (025); seven new MxGatewayCliTests cover
the bulk and bench commands (026).
- Client.Python: mxgateway_cli ships its own py.typed marker (019);
wheel-build smoke test added under tests/test_packaging.py (020);
README documents the Galaxy CLI parity gap explicitly (021).
- Client.Rust: RustClientDesign.md signatures match session.rs and
document the AsRef<str> read_bulk genericism (019);
next_correlation_id re-exported at the crate root, with a
property-style doc contract and an explicit disclaimer that the
literal textual format is not part of the contract (020).
- Contracts: BulkWriteResult comment names the actual
IConstraintEnforcer mechanism instead of "tag-allowlist filter"
(014); BulkReadResult gains explicit per-arm payload-population
documentation for the success vs failure cases (015).

Re-reviewed every module/client against the 10-category checklist
(REVIEW-PROCESS.md) at commit 1cd51bb, filed 72 new findings, and
fixed them in three priority waves (3 High, 17 Medium, 52 Low).
Highs
- Server-017: enumerate AcknowledgeAlarm / QueryActiveAlarms in
GatewayGrpcScopeResolver so non-admin keys can use them; document
the mapping in docs/Authorization.md; add interceptor tests.
- Client.Java-013: add the five missing bulk-method stubs to the
CLI FakeSession so the test module compiles on a clean tree.
- Client.Rust-013: fix the clippy::doc_lazy_continuation regression
in generated tonic code by reformatting the ReadBulkCommand proto
comment and scoping a #![allow(...)] to the generated submodules.
Mediums (highlights)
- Server: unify GatewaySession state-lock discipline (-015) and
make DisposeAsync race-safe against in-flight CloseAsync (-016);
add constraint-enforcement test coverage for the bulk-plan path
(-021).
- Worker: introduce StaRuntimeShutdownException so RunAlarmPollLoop
can distinguish graceful shutdown from a real STA-affinity
violation (-016); have the watchdog skip StaHung while
CurrentCommandCorrelationId is non-empty so a legitimate slow
ReadBulk no longer self-faults (-017).
- Tests: add per-method round-trip + cancellation coverage for the
11 GatewaySession bulk methods (-013); replace the real TCP probe
in GalaxyHierarchyCacheTests with an IGalaxyRepository fake
(-016).
- IntegrationTests: drive the StreamEvents writer in the live Write
test and assert OnWriteComplete (-012); add live tests for
Unadvise/RemoveItem/Unregister ordering, WriteSecured, and
abnormal worker exit (-014).
- Worker.Tests: replace MxAccessSession reflection with an internal
CreateForTesting factory (-016); cover WorkerCancel and
unexpected-body envelope branches (-017).
- Client.Java: cancel MxEventStream when close() races
beforeStart() (-014); return a CancellingCompletableFuture that
actually forwards cancellation through .thenApply chains (-015).
- Client.Python: drop the silent localhost-plaintext downgrade in
the CLI; require explicit --plaintext (-013).
- Client.Rust: stop bench-read-bulk from polluting success-latency
histograms with failed-call durations (-015); add coverage for
the five MalformedReply paths, the bulk-write helpers, the
Error::Unavailable mapping, and the unary-fault path (-016).
- Contracts: extend docs/Contracts.md with the bulk read/write
command family (-009).
Lows (highlights)
- Server: cap GalaxyGlobMatcher.RegexCache; align
WorkerAlarmRpcDispatcher missing-session handling; drop the
duplicate dashboard @page routes; refresh IAlarmRpcDispatcher
XML doc.
- Worker: surface SetXmlAlarmQuery COM failures; remove dead
subscriptionExpression / ExecutingCommand arms; preserve
factory-supplied runtime sessions; split MxAlarmSnapshot.cs into
three files.
- Tests: dispose the WebApplication in seven test classes; rebuild
FakeWorkerProcess.WaitForExitAsync against a real TaskCompletion
source; switch the heartbeat-expires test to ManualTimeProvider;
add InvariantCulture to the remaining DateTimeOffset.Parse sites;
document GalaxyFilterInputSafetyTests in GatewayTesting.md.
- IntegrationTests: comment fixes, RecordingServerStreamWriter
IDisposable, class-level [Trait], single-source ZB default
connection string.
- Worker.Tests: replace silent-return gating with LiveMxAccessFact
so absent env vars SKIP not pass; PascalCase rename of probe
[Fact]s; deterministic deadline test; new frame-protocol error
tests; ComputeTransitions diff-coverage; relocate dev-rig probes
to Probes/.
- Contracts: add round-trip coverage and per-field redaction /
Galaxy-identifier comments to the protos.
- Client.Dotnet: introduce clients/dotnet/Directory.Build.props so
TreatWarningsAsErrors / analysers apply; document
DiscoverHierarchyOptions and IMxGatewayCliClient; require typed
bulk-read handles in CLI; surface AcknowledgeAlarm transport
faults through Translate().
- Client.Go: kill dead code in alarms_test / fakeGalaxyServer /
runWriteBulkVariant; document the six new subcommands in
writeUsage; drain galaxy-watch events on limit; switch io.EOF
comparisons to errors.Is.
- Client.Java: shared shutdown helpers + new shutdownTimeout
option; regex-based credential redaction; Long.toUnsignedString
for uint64 sequence; doc fixes.
- Client.Python: combine duplicate imports; add coverage for
_percentile / bench-read-bulk / MAX_AGGREGATE_EVENTS /
_api_key_from_env; populate pyproject metadata and ship py.typed.
- Client.Rust: expose next_correlation_id() so CLI ping/close
stop hard-coding correlation IDs; resync RustClientDesign.md
with the current Session / Error surface and CLI subcommand set.

Running the matrix against a live gateway surfaced several issues:
- The write phase is now opt-in (-VerifyWrite, was -SkipWrite). It runs
right after register so only a small event backlog precedes the write,
and asserts the reliable OnWriteComplete signal (the written value is
not echoed back by a provider-driven attribute like TestChangingInt, so
the value compare is best-effort).
- Java was launched as bare "gradle", which .NET's Process.Start cannot
exec (it is gradle.bat) — resolve the launcher and run it via cmd.exe.
- The Java client's MxEventStream queue capacity was 16, which overflows
on any active session's backlog-replay burst; raised to 1024.
- The Rust stream-events CLI now renders the event family as the proto
enum name, matching the protobuf-JSON the other four clients emit.
Update docs/GatewayTesting.md for the reworked write phase.
Verified live: the full five-client matrix passes with -VerifyWrite.

Close the notable gaps in scripts/run-client-e2e-tests.ps1:
- Write round-trip: write a per-client sentinel value to a configurable
writable attribute, then assert it is echoed back through the event
stream. Extends the Rust mxgw-cli stream-events output with full
per-event JSON (itemHandle + protojson-shaped value) so all five
language clients run an identical value compare.
- Parity: assert an invalid item handle and an unknown session id are
rejected rather than silently succeeding.
- Auth rejection: assert open-session is rejected with a missing API key
and, when -RejectScopeApiKeyEnv is supplied, with an insufficient-scope
key.
- Parallel: -Parallel runs each language client as an isolated child
process and merges their JSON reports.
Update docs/GatewayTesting.md for the new phases and flags.

IntegrationTests-003: the live MXAccess smoke test asserted on the first
streamed event, which a registration/quality bootstrap event could occupy.
The recording writer now waits for the first event matching a predicate
(Family == OnDataChange).
IntegrationTests-004: the cleanup `finally` could throw and mask an original
assertion failure. Shutdown now routes through a helper that logs cleanup
exceptions instead of propagating them.
IntegrationTests-005: added live MXAccess parity tests — a Write round-trip
to an advised item, and an invalid-handle command surfacing the MXAccess
failure without a transport fault.
IntegrationTests-006: added live LDAP failure-path tests — wrong password
(no password leak), unknown username, and server-unreachable.
docs/GatewayTesting.md updated to describe the new cases.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
IntegrationTests-001: documented the live Galaxy Repository test suite and
its MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_GALAXY_TESTS / MXGATEWAY_LIVE_GALAXY_CONN gating in
docs/GatewayTesting.md.
IntegrationTests-002: documented the live LDAP test suite in
docs/GatewayTesting.md and added a concrete "Provisioning the GwAdmin group"
step to glauth.md so DashboardLdapLiveTests' GwAdmin-membership assumption
is reproducible.
