The snapshot publisher broadcast to Clients.All on every ~1s tick forever, with
zero viewers. Each tick cost a session-registry snapshot and sort, a metrics
snapshot that copies dictionaries under the global metrics lock, a full rebuild
of EffectiveGatewayConfiguration, and a SQLite read of the API key table.
DashboardSnapshotHub now counts live connections into the singleton
DashboardSnapshotHubConnectionCounter (clamped at zero, since SignalR can call
OnDisconnectedAsync for a connection whose OnConnectedAsync faulted). The
publisher drives the snapshot enumerator by hand instead of await foreach: with
no connections it does not call MoveNextAsync at all, so the producing iterator
stays suspended at its yield and no snapshot is built — the gate removes the
build, not just the broadcast. It re-checks once a second, so the first viewer
resumes the tick within about one interval; that viewer is seeded immediately by
DashboardPageBase's synchronous GetSnapshot() and by the hub's OnConnectedAsync.
Two per-tick costs are bounded independently of the gate: the effective
configuration is startup-static (options are bound once at boot and never
reloaded), so it is built once and cached; and the API key summaries refresh at
most every 15s, since the list only changes when an operator creates, rotates,
or revokes a key. Only a successful refresh restarts the interval, so a failed
or timed-out read is still retried on the next tick with the previous summaries
left on screen.
DashboardEventBroadcaster.Publish ran a deep protobuf Clone (redaction is on by
default) and a group SendAsync for every event of every session, before anything
checked whether a dashboard client was actually watching. In the steady state the
session:{id} group is empty, so that work was thrown away per event.
SignalR does not expose group membership, so EventsHub now mirrors its own
add/remove into a singleton EventsHubViewerRegistry, and OnDisconnectedAsync
releases everything a dropped connection held (SessionDetailsPage disposes the
connection rather than unsubscribing). Publish returns early when the session has
no viewers, before the redaction clone. Watched sessions behave exactly as before.
Lazy mirror-lease start/stop was deliberately not attempted — it entangles the
dashboard with SessionEventDistributor subscribe lifetime for no saving beyond
this gate; recorded in docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md.
Restore the __Host- browser guarantees for the default secure deployment
without breaking plaintext/dev:
- DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions PostConfigure now resolves the cookie
name as: explicit MxGateway:Dashboard:CookieName override wins; else
__Host-MxGatewayDashboard when SecurePolicy==Always (RequireHttpsCookie
true); else the plain MxGatewayDashboard default. Guard: never apply the
__Host- prefix without Secure (browsers silently drop it).
- DashboardAuthenticationDefaults: add SecureCookieName const; keep the plain
CookieName as the non-secure fallback.
- Docs corrected to the actual conditional contract (five stale claims):
gateway.md, GatewayProcessDesign.md, ImplementationPlanGateway.md,
GatewayDashboardDesign.md, CLAUDE.md; GatewayConfiguration.md phrasing
tightened.
- Test: DashboardCookieOptionsTests asserts the name flips with
RequireHttpsCookie and that an explicit override wins.
Server build clean (0 warnings); Dashboard tests 149/149.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DMXXvNuPekkkrTEyPNxEkW
The dashboard auth cookie name was hardcoded to the constant
DashboardAuthenticationDefaults.CookieName (MxGatewayDashboard). Browser
cookies are scoped by host+path but NOT by port, so two gateway instances
sharing a hostname would clobber each other's dashboard session under the
shared name.
Add DashboardOptions.CookieName (MxGateway:Dashboard:CookieName); null/blank
keeps the canonical default. Applied in the existing dashboard cookie
PostConfigure (runs after the inline AddCookie default, so it wins). Behaviour
is unchanged when unset. Adds a Tests case for the override.
Introduce IAuditActorAccessor seam + HttpAuditActorAccessor impl (reads ZbClaimTypes.Username
from IHttpContextAccessor; falls back to Identity.Name / ZbClaimTypes.Name; null when
unauthenticated). Register in DI via DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions.
Wire DashboardApiKeyManagementService: WriteDashboardAuditAsync now accepts the ClaimsPrincipal
user already in scope at each call site; ResolveOperatorActor extracts ZbClaimTypes.Username
(preferred) or Identity.Name. All four dashboard-* events now emit Actor = LDAP operator
username and Target = managed keyId, fixing the semantic gap where both fields held the keyId.
ConstraintEnforcer (gRPC / API-key actor) and CanonicalForwardingApiKeyAuditStore (CLI /
"system"/"cli" fallback) are unchanged.
Tests: DashboardApiKeyManagementServiceTests updated — CreateAuthorizedUser adds ZbClaimTypes.Username
("alice"), all dashboard-* audit assertions updated to Actor = "alice" / Target = "operator01";
new CreateAsync_AuthorizedUser_CanonicalAuditEventHasOperatorAsActorAndKeyIdAsTarget verifies the
canonical AuditEvent directly. New HttpAuditActorAccessorTests (4 cases: username claim, Identity.Name
fallback, unauthenticated → null, no context → null). ConstraintEnforcer tests still assert API-key/anonymous actor.
- DashboardAuthenticator.CreatePrincipal: emit ZbClaimTypes.Username ("zb:username") with
the login username, ZbClaimTypes.DisplayName ("zb:displayname") with the display name,
ZbClaimTypes.Name (== ClaimTypes.Name) for Identity.Name resolution, ZbClaimTypes.Role
(== ClaimTypes.Role) for IsInRole/[Authorize]. Keep ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier for back-compat
read-sites; keep mxgateway:ldap_group unchanged (MxGateway-specific, no ZbClaimType for groups).
ClaimsIdentity built with nameType=ZbClaimTypes.Name, roleType=ZbClaimTypes.Role.
- DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions.AddGatewayDashboard: route cookie hardening through
ZbCookieDefaults.Apply(requireHttps:true, idleTimeout:8h); set cookie name/path/redirects
after Apply; PostConfigure still overrides SecurePolicy per RequireHttpsCookie setting.
- DashboardAuthenticatorTests: add AuthenticateAsync_Success_EmitsCanonicalZbClaims asserting
zb:username, zb:displayname, ZbClaimTypes.Role per role, Identity.Name, and ldap_group preserved.
Adds missing <summary>/<param> XML docs across 99 server, worker, and test
files so CommentChecker reports zero issues (TreatWarningsAsErrors needs the
analyzer clean). Bundles in WIP dashboard work: NavSection extraction,
MainLayout/site.css/js styling alignment, and DashboardOptions/Auth tweaks.
Add IDashboardSessionAdminService (Admin-role gate, friendly errors,
audit logging) wrapping a new ISessionManager.KillWorkerAsync that
skips graceful shutdown and cleans up registry/metrics. Sessions,
Workers, and SessionDetails pages render Close / Kill buttons only
when CanManage; the service re-checks the role on every call so
forged clicks return Unauthenticated.

EventsHub publisher (closes the v2.1 follow-up flagged in the previous commit)
EventStreamService now mirrors every MxEvent it forwards to a gRPC client
into the `EventsHub` group for the session. The fan-out goes through a new
singleton `IDashboardEventBroadcaster`:
* IDashboardEventBroadcaster — abstraction so EventStreamService doesn't
take a direct dependency on SignalR.
* DashboardEventBroadcaster — singleton implementation that hands the
SendAsync to IHubContext<EventsHub> as fire-and-forget. Errors are
logged at debug and dropped so the source gRPC stream is never
blocked.
EventStreamService now takes IDashboardEventBroadcaster as a ctor parameter
and calls Publish(sessionId, publicEvent) once per event after sequence
filtering, before the bounded queue write. Test fixtures and the live
integration harness pass NullDashboardEventBroadcaster.Instance so the
broadcaster is a no-op in unit tests.
SessionDetailsPage adds a "Recent events" panel:
* implements IAsyncDisposable
* opens a second HubConnection via DashboardHubConnectionFactory targeting
/hubs/events
* calls SubscribeSession(SessionId) on Start
* renders the most recent 50 events in a small table (worker seq, family,
server/item handle, alarm reference when the event is OnAlarmTransition)
* shows a live/offline conn-pill driven by HubConnection.Closed /
Reconnected events
The dashboard mirror is intentionally passive — events appear only while a
gRPC client is also consuming that session's events. Documented as such in
the empty-state copy and in GatewayDashboardDesign.md.
Documentation refresh
Every doc that referenced the retired options (PathBase, RequireAdminScope,
RequiredGroup) and the old API-key-cookie auth flow is updated to describe
the new model:
* CLAUDE.md — Authentication section now explains LDAP bind +
GroupToRole + HubToken bearer flow.
* gateway.md — Dashboard section: root-mounted routes, snapshot/alarms/
events SignalR hubs, LDAP cookie + bearer scheme.
* docs/GatewayConfiguration.md — drop PathBase / RequireAdminScope rows,
add GroupToRole row, append "Authorization policies" and "SignalR hubs"
subsections describing the three policies and the /hubs/* endpoints.
* docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md — hosting model (root mount, new
endpoint layout), Realtime Updates rewritten as a hub table
(DashboardSnapshotHub / AlarmsHub / EventsHub with producers, payloads,
and routing), Authentication And Authorization rewritten around LDAP +
role mapping + the hub bearer flow, Configuration block updated.
* docs/GatewayProcessDesign.md — security-section dashboard paragraph
and the example config block both refreshed to LDAP/role auth.
* docs/ImplementationPlanGateway.md — dashboard-auth deliverable list
updated (LDAP bind + GroupToRole + /hubs/token bearer mint replace the
API-key login flow).
* docs/GatewayTesting.md — DashboardLdapLiveTests blurb describes the
GroupToRole fixture (`{ GwAdmin: Admin }`) instead of the retired
RequiredGroup default; success-path assertion explains the role-claim
check.
Verification: 475 server tests, 275 worker tests (+ 9 dev-rig skips), 18
integration tests (live MxAccess + LDAP + Galaxy) all pass — including the
live worker smoke test fixture that now constructs EventStreamService with
the new broadcaster parameter.

Layout
------
DashboardLayout.razor replaces the inline header nav with a left side rail
modelled on the OtOpcUa admin (Dashboard B). The top bar keeps only the
brand, breadcrumb, and signed-in status pill; navigation moves into a
fixed-width 218px rail with grouped section eyebrows (Overview,
Runtime, Galaxy, Admin) and a Session footer carrying the user name,
role claims, and a Sign-out button. dashboard.css gains the
`.app-shell` flex container, `.side-rail` column, `.rail-eyebrow`,
`.rail-link[.active]`, `.rail-foot`, `.rail-user`, `.rail-roles`, and
`.rail-btn` rules (all driven by the existing theme.css tokens, no new
hard-coded colours).
SignalR (push)
--------------
Adds three hubs under `Dashboard/Hubs/`, all gated by the
`HubClientsPolicy` registered in the previous commit:
* DashboardSnapshotHub (/hubs/snapshot)
Broadcasts the full DashboardSnapshot on every change. Sends the
current snapshot to a new caller in OnConnectedAsync so the first
paint is immediate.
* AlarmsHub (/hubs/alarms)
Connected clients auto-join the `__alarms__` group. Receives
AlarmFeedMessage values (active_alarm / snapshot_complete /
transition) re-broadcast from the gateway's central alarm monitor.
* EventsHub (/hubs/events)
Per-session push surface. Clients call SubscribeSession(sessionId)
to join `session:{id}`. The publisher side is intentionally a
follow-up — the snapshot hub already carries recent-events
rollups; a dedicated MxEvent broadcaster on EventStreamService
will plug into this hub's group convention.
Two BackgroundService publishers wire server-side data sources to the
hubs:
* DashboardSnapshotPublisher subscribes to
`IDashboardSnapshotService.WatchSnapshotsAsync` and forwards every
snapshot to all connected hub clients.
* AlarmsHubPublisher subscribes to `IGatewayAlarmService.StreamAsync`
(no filter) and forwards every AlarmFeedMessage to the
`__alarms__` group, reconnecting with a 5-second backoff if the
stream faults.
Connection + auth plumbing
--------------------------
* `GET /hubs/token` issues a fresh data-protected bearer token
bound to the calling user's identity and roles. Gated by the
cookie-only ViewerPolicy so a Blazor circuit (cookie-authenticated)
can mint a token, but a hub bearer cannot self-bootstrap a new
one.
* DashboardHubConnectionFactory (scoped) is the client-side helper
Razor pages inject. It builds a HubConnection with an
AccessTokenProvider that calls HubTokenService.Issue on every
(re)connect — keeps the connection alive across cookie refresh
boundaries.
Pull → push refactor
--------------------
DashboardPageBase no longer drives its own `WatchSnapshotsAsync`
async-foreach loop. It now:
1. seeds Snapshot synchronously from `IDashboardSnapshotService.GetSnapshot()`
so the first render is non-empty;
2. opens a `DashboardSnapshotHub` connection via the connection
factory;
3. updates Snapshot + triggers StateHasChanged on each
`SnapshotUpdated` push.
The hub connection is best-effort: if SignalR can't start, the
synchronous snapshot seed keeps the UI populated. SignalR's
WithAutomaticReconnect handles the recovery path.
Package
-------
Adds `Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Client` 10.0.0 to the server csproj
so the in-process Blazor pages can open hub connections back to their
own hosting process.
Verification: 475 server tests (+ 2 new
`DashboardHubsRegistrationTests` that pin the hub negotiate endpoints
and the singleton/scoped DI shape), 275 worker tests (+ 9 dev-rig
skips), 18 integration tests (live MxAccess + LDAP + Galaxy) all pass.

Restructure dashboard auth around LDAP-driven Admin/Viewer roles, add a
bearer scheme so SignalR hubs (next commit) can authenticate without
forwarding the HttpOnly browser cookie, and mount the dashboard at the
host root instead of a configurable `/dashboard` prefix.
Configuration changes (breaking):
- `MxGateway:Dashboard:PathBase` removed — the dashboard now serves at `/`.
- `MxGateway:Dashboard:RequireAdminScope` removed — role checks replace
the single admin-scope claim.
- `MxGateway:Ldap:RequiredGroup` removed — replaced by `MxGateway:Dashboard:GroupToRole`,
a map from LDAP group name to dashboard role. Legal role values:
`Admin` and `Viewer`. Users whose LDAP groups don't intersect this
map are rejected at login (the existing fail-closed contract).
- appsettings.json ships a default mapping `{ GwAdmin: Admin, GwReader: Viewer }`.
Auth model:
- DashboardRoles: new static class with `Admin` and `Viewer` constants.
- DashboardAuthenticator.AuthenticateAsync: after LDAP bind, maps the
user's groups through `DashboardOptions.GroupToRole` and emits one
`ClaimTypes.Role` claim per resolved role. Empty result → login fails.
- DashboardAuthorizationRequirement now carries `RequiredRoles`; static
presets `AnyDashboardRole` (Viewer ∨ Admin) and `AdminOnly`.
- DashboardAuthorizationHandler checks `IsInRole` against the
requirement's role list instead of the old scope claim. The
`AuthenticationMode.Disabled` and `AllowAnonymousLocalhost` bypasses
are preserved.
- DashboardApiKeyAuthorization.CanManage now requires the `Admin` role
(was: required LDAP group membership). The constructor's IOptions
parameter is gone.
Policies / schemes:
- DashboardAuthenticationDefaults gains `ViewerPolicy`, `AdminPolicy`,
`HubClientsPolicy`, and `HubAuthenticationScheme`. The legacy
`AuthorizationPolicy` and `ScopeClaimType` constants are removed.
- DashboardServiceCollectionExtensions registers all three policies,
adds the cookie scheme and the HubToken bearer scheme side by side,
calls `AddSignalR()`, and hard-codes the cookie's login/logout/denied
paths to root-relative `/login` etc.
Hub bearer infrastructure (no hubs wired yet — next commit):
- HubTokenService: mints time-limited data-protected JSON tokens
carrying the user's name, NameIdentifier, and roles. 30-minute
lifetime, purpose `ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Dashboard.HubToken.v1`.
- HubTokenAuthenticationHandler: validates the token from
`Authorization: Bearer …` or `?access_token=…` (WebSocket upgrade
query string) and rebuilds the principal.
Endpoint mapping:
- DashboardEndpointRouteBuilderExtensions drops the `MapGroup(pathBase)`
wrapper. Login/logout/denied and Razor component routes are now
mounted at `/`. The login form posts to `/login`. Razor components
require the new `ViewerPolicy`.
- All page `@page "/dashboard/X"` dual-route directives are removed —
pages live at their canonical roots (`@page "/"`, `@page "/sessions"`, …).
- App.razor and DashboardLayout.razor drop their PathBase computations.
EffectiveLdapConfiguration drops `RequiredGroup`; EffectiveDashboardConfiguration
drops `PathBase`/`RequireAdminScope` and gains `GroupToRole`. SettingsPage
renders the role mapping in place of the retired fields.
Tests updated:
- DashboardAuthenticatorTests: covers the new GroupToRole mapping
(short name + DN + multi-role).
- DashboardAuthorizationHandlerTests: split into Viewer-policy and
Admin-policy cases.
- DashboardApiKeyAuthorizationTests, DashboardApiKeyManagementServiceTests:
authorized principal now carries the `Admin` role claim.
- DashboardCookieOptionsTests: expects root-relative login/logout paths.
- GatewayApplicationTests: dashboard component routes registered at `/`,
`/sessions`, … and gated by `ViewerPolicy`. Filter on
`ComponentTypeMetadata` to ignore minimal-API endpoints sharing `/`.
- GatewayOptionsTests + Validator: drop PathBase / RequireAdminScope /
RequiredGroup assertions; add a `GroupToRole` value-validation case.
- DashboardLdapLiveTests: provides the default `GwAdmin` → `Admin`
mapping so the live LDAP bind resolves to a role.
Verification: 473 server tests, 275 worker tests (+9 dev-rig skips), 18
integration tests (live MxAccess + LDAP + Galaxy) all pass.
This commit is intentionally UI-neutral. The sidebar layout and the
SignalR hubs that consume the new HubToken scheme land in a follow-up.

Apply the ZB.MOM.WW. prefix to all gateway-side projects, folders,
.csproj/.sln contents, C# namespaces, using directives, generated proto
C# (csharp_namespace + checked-in generated files), InternalsVisibleTo
attributes, project-name string literals (LoadProject, .sln lookups,
worker exe paths, staticwebassets manifest), and the install/script/doc
references that point at any of the above. Migrate the solution from
.sln to .slnx via `dotnet sln migrate` and delete the old file.
External-runtime identifiers are intentionally NOT prefixed so external
configuration keeps working:
- GatewayMetrics.cs MeterName ("MxGateway.Server")
- DashboardAuthenticationDefaults Scheme/Policy ("MxGateway.Dashboard")
- GatewayRequestLoggingMiddleware logger category ("MxGateway.Request")
- StaRuntime thread name ("MxGateway.Worker.STA")
- appsettings.json root section "MxGateway" + env-var prefix
MxGateway__... and secret-name MxGateway:ApiKeyPepper
- C:\ProgramData\MxGateway\ data dir paths
Also fixes two tests that were not rename-related but became visible
while validating the rename:
- WorkerLiveMxAccessSmokeTests.ShutDownAsync: cancellation that the
gateway service correctly maps to RpcException(Cancelled) per gRPC
convention was being misclassified as a stream fault. Added a sibling
catch on RpcException with StatusCode.Cancelled.
- IntegrationTestEnvironment.ResolveRepositoryRoot: extracted IsRepositoryRoot
and made it accept either a .git marker OR a .sln/.slnx next to src/
so the worker-exe walker works in non-git working copies.
clients/proto/proto-inputs.json's protoRoot updated to point at
src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/Protos.
Verified by `dotnet build` and a full `dotnet test` of the .slnx with
MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_{MXACCESS,LDAP,GALAXY}_TESTS=1:
Tests: 472/472 pass
Worker.Tests: 280/280 pass (4 dev-rig [Fact(Skip=...)] skipped)
IntegrationTests: 18/18 pass
