Switch the worker's alarm-consumer surface from `aaAlarmManagedClient.AlarmClient`
to `WNWRAPCONSUMERLib.wwAlarmConsumerClass` (CLSID 7AB52E5F-…) hosted by
`wnwrapConsumer.dll`. The new path returns alarm records as a BSTR XML
payload via `GetXmlCurrentAlarms2`, bypassing the FILETIME→DateTime
auto-marshaling that crashed `GetHighPriAlarm` with
ArgumentOutOfRangeException on every poll. Live captured 60/60 polls
clean against `\DESKTOP-6JL3KKO\Galaxy!DEV` while a System Platform
script flipped TestMachine_001.TestAlarm001 every 10s; the GUID,
priority, state (UNACK_ALM ↔ UNACK_RTN), and ASCII-formatted timestamps
arrived end-to-end.
Implementation:
- `Interop.WNWRAPCONSUMERLib.dll` generated via tlbimp, checked in under
`lib/` so dev boxes don't need the SDK to build.
- New `WnWrapAlarmConsumer` (replaces `AlarmClientConsumer`): owns a
500ms polling timer, parses `GetXmlCurrentAlarms2` output, diffs the
snapshot keyed by alarm GUID, and raises one
`MxAlarmTransitionEvent` per state change. Includes the
Initialize→Register-before-Subscribe ordering fix found during
Discovery probe runs.
- New library-agnostic types `MxAlarmSnapshotRecord` /
`MxAlarmStateKind` / `MxAlarmTransitionEvent` so the proto-build
path is testable without an AVEVA install.
- `AlarmRecordTransitionMapper` retired the COM-coupled
`MapTransitionKind(eAlmTransitions)`; new pure helpers
`ParseStateKind`, `MapTransition(prev, curr)`, and
`ParseTransitionTimestampUtc` cover XML decode + state-delta logic.
- `IMxAccessAlarmConsumer` event surface changed from
`EventHandler<AlarmRecord>` to `EventHandler<MxAlarmTransitionEvent>`
and `SnapshotActiveAlarms()` returns `MxAlarmSnapshotRecord` —
decoupling the interface from any specific COM library.
- Worker csproj drops `aaAlarmManagedClient` / `IAlarmMgrDataProvider`
refs; adds `Interop.WNWRAPCONSUMERLib`.
Tests:
- 36 new unit tests (state-string mapping, prev/current → proto kind
decision table, timestamp UTC reassembly, XML payload parser, 32-char
hex GUID round-trip) covering everything that doesn't touch the live
COM surface — all passing.
- Skip-gated `WnWrapConsumerProbeTests.ProbeWnWrapConsumer` archives
the live capture flow for regression / future probes.
Docs:
- `docs/AlarmClientDiscovery.md` "Option A — captured" section records
sample XML payloads, the mangled `SetXmlAlarmQuery` round-trip
(prefer `Subscribe` for filtering), the `GetStatistics`
AccessViolationException quirk, and the worker-integration outline.
Pre-existing failure noted (separate):
`MxAccessInteropReference_ExistsOnlyInWorkerProject` was already
failing on HEAD — the test project still references `ArchestrA.MxAccess`
for the Skip-gated discovery probes. Not regressed by this change.
