 `MxGatewaySession.CloseAsync` is explicit and idempotent. Repeated calls return
 the first `CloseSessionReply` instead of sending another close request.
+
+## Values, Status, And Errors
+
+The client provides extension helpers for generated protobuf values. Use
+`ToMxValue()` on .NET scalar values and typed arrays to create `MxValue`
+instances for `Write` and `Write2`. Use `ToClrValue()` and
+`GetProjectionKind()` when test or diagnostic code needs to inspect generated
+`MxValue` replies while preserving `rawDiagnostic`, raw data type fields, and
+raw byte payloads.
+
+`MxStatusProxy.IsSuccess()` and `ToDiagnosticSummary()` expose MXAccess status
+arrays without collapsing them into a single gateway success flag. Command
+reply helpers follow the same split:
+
+```csharp
+reply.EnsureProtocolSuccess();
+reply.EnsureMxAccessSuccess();
+```
+
+`EnsureProtocolSuccess()` raises gateway, session, worker, or command
+exceptions for gateway-level failures. It leaves
+`PROTOCOL_STATUS_CODE_MXACCESS_FAILURE` to `EnsureMxAccessSuccess()` so callers
+can keep the full `MxCommandReply`, HRESULT, and status array when MXAccess
+itself rejects a command. `MxAccessException.Reply` contains the raw generated
+reply.
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+The test CLI supports deterministic JSON output for automation:
+
+```powershell
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- version --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- open-session --endpoint http://localhost:5000 --api-key-env MXGATEWAY_API_KEY --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- register --session-id <id> --client-name mxgw-dotnet-cli --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- add-item --session-id <id> --server-handle 1 --item Area001.Pump001.Speed --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- advise --session-id <id> --server-handle 1 --item-handle 1 --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- write --session-id <id> --server-handle 1 --item-handle 1 --type int32 --value 123 --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- write2 --session-id <id> --server-handle 1 --item-handle 1 --type int32 --value 123 --timestamp 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- stream-events --session-id <id> --max-events 1 --json
+dotnet run --project clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.Cli -- smoke --endpoint http://localhost:5000 --api-key-env MXGATEWAY_API_KEY --item Area001.Pump001.Speed --json
+```
+
+`smoke` opens a session, registers a client, adds one item, advises it,
+optionally writes a value when `--type` and `--value` are supplied, reads a
+bounded event stream, and closes the session in a `finally` block. CLI error
+output redacts API keys supplied through `--api-key`.
