Regenerate stale Java client protobuf code

The checked-in generated Java sources under clients/java/src/main/generated/
were out of sync with both the .proto contracts and the configured
protobuf 4.33.1 toolchain: they were missing the alarm command kinds
(MX_COMMAND_KIND_SUBSCRIBE_ALARMS..ACKNOWLEDGE_ALARM_BY_NAME, 25-29), the
alarm/galaxy message additions, and the protobuf 4.x generated-code layout.
Regenerated via `gradle generateProto`; `gradle test` passes against the
refreshed sources. No hand edits — pure protoc/protoc-gen-grpc-java output.

-# MXAccess Gateway Agent Guide
-
-Repository: https://gitea.dohertylan.com/dohertj2/mxaccessgw
-
-This project builds a gateway that gives modern clients full MXAccess parity
-without requiring those clients to load MXAccess COM, run as x86, or own an STA
-message pump. Treat the installed MXAccess COM component as the compatibility
-baseline.
-
-Toolchain paths, versions, and external analysis locations are recorded in
-`docs/toolchain-links.md`. Use that file before searching for compilers,
-runtimes, protobuf tools, MXAccess notes, or Galaxy Repository SQL notes.
-
-Implementation planning is recorded in `docs/implementation-plan-index.md`.
-Follow the order there unless the user explicitly reprioritizes: gateway first,
-MXAccess worker instance second, clients third.
-
-## Core Contract
-
-Preserve MXAccess behavior first:
-
-- public MXAccess command semantics,
-- native MXAccess event families,
-- STA/message-pump delivery behavior,
-- installed-provider quirks,
-- HRESULT/status/value marshaling,
-- per-client isolation.
-
-Do not simplify, normalize, or "fix" MXAccess behavior unless an explicit
-non-parity mode is being implemented and tested. `MxAsbClient` and managed NMX
-are future acceleration paths only; they do not define the parity contract.
-
-## Architecture
-
-The intended split is:
-
-```text
-client
-  -> gRPC over TCP
-    -> .NET 10 x64 gateway
-      -> session manager
-        -> per-session .NET Framework 4.8 x86 worker process
-          -> dedicated STA thread
-            -> MXAccess COM instance
-            -> Windows/COM message pump
-            -> command queue
-            -> event sink
-```
-
-The gateway must never instantiate or call MXAccess directly. All MXAccess COM
-interaction belongs in the worker process on its dedicated STA thread.
-
-The worker must not host public gRPC. Gateway-to-worker communication should use
-a small local IPC protocol, with named pipes and protobuf-framed messages as the
-default design.
-
-## Runtime Targets
-
-- Gateway: .NET 10, C#, x64 preferred, ASP.NET Core gRPC.
-- Worker: .NET Framework 4.8, C#, x86 by default.
-- Worker IPC: one bidirectional named pipe per worker.
-- Worker process model: one external client session maps to one worker by
-  default.
-
-## Style Guides
-
-Follow the project documentation guide and the language guide for every changed
-area:
-
-| Area | Style guide |
-|------|-------------|
-| Documentation | `StyleGuide.md` |
-| Gateway, worker, .NET client, and C# tests | `docs/style-guides/CSharpStyleGuide.md` |
-| Public gRPC and worker IPC contracts | `docs/style-guides/ProtobufStyleGuide.md` |
-| Go client | `docs/style-guides/GoStyleGuide.md` |
-| Rust client | `docs/style-guides/RustStyleGuide.md` |
-| Python client | `docs/style-guides/PythonStyleGuide.md` |
-| Java client | `docs/style-guides/JavaStyleGuide.md` |
-
-When a change crosses languages, apply every affected style guide. Generated
-code follows its generator output; do not hand-edit it to match handwritten
-style.
-
-## Expected Layout
-
-Prefer this structure unless there is a strong reason to adjust it:

-```
-
-The contracts project may multi-target, or the `.proto` files may be shared as
-source inputs to both gateway and worker builds.
-
-## Public API Shape
-
-The external API should be session-oriented. Initial rollout should prefer
-unary `OpenSession`, `CloseSession`, and `Invoke`, plus server-streaming
-`StreamEvents`. Add a bidirectional `Session` stream after the command and event
-model is stable.
-
-Do not compress MXAccess into generic verbs too early. Use a command enum with
-method-specific payloads so parity can be tested method by method.
-
-Core MXAccess commands to represent:
-
-- `Register`
-- `Unregister`
-- `AddItem`
-- `AddItem2`
-- `RemoveItem`
-- `Advise`
-- `UnAdvise`
-- `AdviseSupervisory`
-- `AddBufferedItem`
-- `SetBufferedUpdateInterval`
-- `Suspend`
-- `Activate`
-- `Write`
-- `Write2`
-- `WriteSecured`
-- `WriteSecured2`
-- `AuthenticateUser`
-- `ArchestrAUserToId`
-
-Diagnostics may include `Ping`, `GetSessionState`, `GetWorkerInfo`,
-`DrainEvents`, and `ShutdownWorker`.
-
-## Event Requirements
-
-Represent every public MXAccess event family:
-
-- `OnDataChange`
-- `OnWriteComplete`
-- `OperationComplete`
-- `OnBufferedDataChange`
-
-Preserve per-worker event order. The gateway must not reorder events emitted by
-the same MXAccess instance.
-
-Event DTOs should carry event family, session id, server handle, item handle,
-value, quality, timestamp, `MXSTATUS_PROXY[]` equivalent, raw HRESULT/status
-fields when available, event sequence, worker timestamp, and gateway receive
-timestamp.
-
-## Value And Status Rules
-
-Use a protobuf value union that can represent COM `VARIANT` values and arrays.
-When a value cannot be losslessly converted, preserve both the best typed
-projection and enough raw diagnostic metadata to reproduce the case.
-
-Represent `MXSTATUS_PROXY` explicitly. Do not collapse status arrays into a
-single success flag.
-
-Command replies should include protocol status, COM HRESULT if available,
-MXAccess return values, method-specific out parameters, and status arrays where
-the MXAccess method emits them.
-
-## Galaxy Repository SQL Discovery
-
-Galaxy tags, hierarchy, and attribute details can be queried from the AVEVA /
-Wonderware System Platform Galaxy Repository SQL Server database. Use this as a
-discovery and metadata path only; runtime MXAccess parity still belongs to the
-MXAccess-backed worker unless an explicit non-parity backend is being designed.
-
-Full notes, schema details, screenshots, and query examples are in:
-
-```text
-C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\lmxopcua\gr
-```
-
-Important files in that notes directory:
-
-- `connectioninfo.md` - SQL Server connection details and `sqlcmd` usage.
-- `layout.md` - hierarchy vs `tag_name` relationship.
-- `build_layout_plan.md` - extraction plan for hierarchy and attributes.
-- `schema.md` and `ddl/` - Galaxy Repository schema reference.
-- `queries/hierarchy.sql` - deployed object hierarchy.
-- `queries/attributes.sql` - user-defined dynamic attributes.
-- `queries/attributes_extended.sql` - system plus user-defined attributes.
-- `queries/change_detection.sql` - deployment-change polling via
-  `galaxy.time_of_last_deploy`.
-
-Current documented connection is SQL Server `localhost`, database `ZB`, Windows
-Auth. Example:
-
-```powershell
-sqlcmd -S localhost -d ZB -E -Q "SELECT time_of_last_deploy FROM galaxy;"
-```
-
-Key tables from the notes are `gobject`, `template_definition`,
-`dynamic_attribute`, `attribute_definition`, `primitive_instance`, and
-`galaxy`. The hierarchy uses contained names for human-readable browsing, while
-runtime tag references use globally unique `tag_name` values such as
-`<tag_name>.<AttributeName>`.
-
-## MXAccess Analysis Source
-
-Use the local MXAccess analysis project when answering questions about installed
-MXAccess classes, interfaces, fields, events, HRESULT/status behavior, value
-projection, captures, and parity gaps:
-
-```text
-C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\mxaccess
-```
-
-Primary files:
-
-- `README.md` - overview of available analysis and capture artifacts.
-- `docs/MXAccess-Public-API.md` - COM class, ProgID, CLSID, method list,
-  event signatures, `MxDataType`, `MxStatus`, and `MXSTATUS_PROXY`.
-- `docs/MXAccess-Reverse-Engineering.md` - installed runtime path and x86 COM
-  constraints.
-- `docs/Current-Sprint-State.md` and `docs/DotNet10-Native-Library-Plan.md` -
-  current parity gaps and managed native-client research status.
-- `src/MxTraceHarness/` - x86 MXAccess harness examples using the real COM
-  interop assembly.
-- `captures/` and `analysis/` - observed native behavior and generated
-  reverse-engineering artifacts.
-
-Concrete MXAccess COM target from the analysis:
-
-- class: `ArchestrA.MxAccess.LMXProxyServerClass`
-- CLSID: `{C30B52F5-2CB5-4760-AF0A-3A344A7EB5DC}`
-- ProgID: `LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer.1`
-- version-independent ProgID: `LMXProxy.LMXProxyServer`
-- registered server: `C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\LmxProxy.dll`
-- interop assembly:
-  `C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\ArchestrA.MXAccess.dll`
-- threading model: `Apartment`
-
-## Worker Rules
-
-Each worker owns:
-
-- one process,
-- one MXAccess session,
-- one dedicated STA thread,
-- one MXAccess COM object,
-- one inbound command queue,
-- one outbound event queue.
-
-All MXAccess operations must run on the STA. A plain blocking queue is not
-enough for the STA; the STA loop must pump Windows/COM messages and service
-queued commands.
-
-Do not block the STA on pipe writes, gRPC calls, or slow consumers. Event
-handlers should convert event args, enqueue outbound events, and return to
-pumping messages.
-
-On graceful shutdown, reject new commands, optionally clean up active MXAccess
-handles, detach events, release the COM object, uninitialize COM, and exit. If
-graceful shutdown exceeds the configured timeout, the gateway may kill the
-worker.
-
-## IPC Rules
-
-Default pipe name shape:
-
-```text
-mxaccess-gateway-{gatewayProcessId}-{sessionId}
-```
-
-Frame messages as:
-
-```text
-uint32 little-endian payload_length
-payload_length bytes protobuf WorkerEnvelope
-```
-
-Every envelope should include protocol version, session id, monotonic sender
-sequence, correlation id, and a typed body. Protocol version mismatch should
-fail session creation.
-
-Pipe security should be local-machine only, with ACLs restricted to the gateway
-identity and launched worker identity. Prefer a per-session nonce handshake.
-
-## Gateway Rules
-
-The gateway is responsible for:
-
-- public TCP/gRPC API,
-- Blazor Server dashboard using Bootstrap CSS/JS only,
-- authn/authz when needed,
-- session creation and teardown,
-- worker launch and lifecycle management,
-- command routing,
-- event streaming,
-- leases, heartbeats, timeouts, and quotas,
-- worker kill/restart policy,
-- metrics and structured logs.
-
-The gRPC layer should stay thin: validate request, find session, call the
-session worker client, map worker replies to public replies, and stream events.
-Keep MXAccess-specific translation logic testable outside the gRPC handlers.
-
-Dashboard code should also stay thin and read-only for v1. Use a snapshot
-service over session/worker/metrics state; do not let Razor components mutate
-gateway sessions or workers directly. Do not use MudBlazor or other Blazor UI
-component libraries.
-
-Gateway restart should not try to reattach old workers in the first version.
-Terminate orphaned workers on startup if that behavior is implemented.
-
-## Command, Timeout, And Cancellation Semantics
-
-Command lifecycle:
-
-```text
-client gRPC command
-gateway validates session and payload
-gateway assigns correlation id
-gateway writes WorkerCommand to pipe
-worker queues command to STA
-STA executes MXAccess method
-worker captures return/out/status/HRESULT
-worker sends WorkerCommandReply
-gateway completes gRPC response
-```
-
-Canceling a gRPC call should stop waiting in the gateway, but it cannot safely
-abort an in-flight COM call on the STA. Hard cancellation means killing the
-worker process.
-
-If a command wedges the STA beyond a configured grace period, the gateway should
-kill the worker and fail the session.
-
-## Backpressure Policy
-
-Worker outbound events must use a bounded queue. For parity testing, prefer
-fail-fast behavior over silent drops. Production coalescing or drop policies
-must be explicit and observable.
-
-The gateway should preserve per-session event order, apply backpressure from
-slow gRPC streams, and disconnect or coalesce only according to an explicit
-policy.
-
-## Security And Logging
-
-Use TLS for remote gRPC when crossing machine boundaries. Authentication may be
-Windows auth, mTLS, or a deployment-specific token.
-
-Commands that write, authenticate users, or alter runtime state need explicit
-authorization design.
-
-Never log passwords or raw credential values for `AuthenticateUser`,
-`WriteSecured`, or related secured operations. Do not log full values by
-default; make value logging opt-in and redacted.
-
-## Testing Expectations
-
-Use focused tests for:
-
-- contract/protobuf compatibility,
-- gateway session state and worker lifecycle,
-- gateway behavior with a fake worker,
-- worker value/status conversion,
-- STA queue and message-pump behavior.
-
-Live MXAccess integration tests are optional but should be isolated because they
-depend on installed COM components and provider behavior.
-
-Parity tests should compare direct MXAccess behavior against the gateway:
-
-- return values,
-- HRESULTs and exceptions,
-- event sequence,
-- value projection,
-- quality/status arrays,
-- invalid handle behavior,
-- cross-server handle behavior,
-- cleanup behavior.
-
-Known important parity areas:
-
-- `WriteSecured` may fail before a value-bearing NMX body is emitted.
-- `WriteSecured2` can succeed in observed native paths.
-- `OperationComplete` is distinct from write completion.
-- `OnBufferedDataChange` has a distinct public event shape.
-- Invalid handles and cross-server handles have specific exception/status
-  behavior.
-- STA message pumping is required for event delivery.
-
-## Source Update Workflow
-
-When source code changes, build the affected component before handing work
-back. If the change crosses component boundaries, build each affected component
-instead of relying on a single top-level build.
-
-Use the native build and test command for each changed area:
-
-| Changed area | Required verification |
-|--------------|-----------------------|
-| Contracts or `.proto` files | regenerate generated code, then build gateway, worker, and every generated client touched by the contract |
-| Gateway server, sessions, workers, gRPC, dashboard, or metrics | build the .NET 10 gateway project and run affected gateway or fake-worker tests |
-| Worker IPC, STA, MXAccess, or conversion code | build the .NET Framework 4.8 x86 worker project and run affected worker tests |
-| Shared test infrastructure | run every test suite that consumes the changed helpers |
-| .NET client | build the .NET client library, CLI, and tests |
-| Go client | run Go formatting, build, and tests for the Go module |
-| Rust client | run Rust formatting, build or check, and tests for the Rust crate |
-| Python client | run Python formatting or linting if configured, package/build checks, and tests |
-| Java client | build the Java client library, CLI, and tests |
-| Integration tests | run them only when the required MXAccess COM component, provider state, and external services are available; otherwise document why they were skipped |
-
-Update affected documentation in the same change as the source update. This
-includes `gateway.md`, component design docs under `docs/`, client docs, API
-contract notes, test instructions, and operational guidance. Documentation must
-follow `StyleGuide.md`: write technical present-tense prose, explain the reason
-for non-obvious choices, use exact code names, specify languages on code
-blocks, use relative links for internal docs, and avoid stale temporary notes.
-Source code and contract changes must also follow the relevant language guide
-from the Style Guides section.
-
-Do not leave documentation describing old behavior after changing public APIs,
-contracts, configuration, build steps, security behavior, event shapes, value
-conversion, status mapping, lifecycle rules, or client semantics.
-
-## Implementation Priority
-
-Build the smallest end-to-end slice first:
-
-1. .NET 10 gateway starts.
-2. Client calls `OpenSession`.
-3. Gateway launches .NET Framework 4.8 x86 worker.
-4. Worker creates STA and MXAccess COM object.
-5. Client calls `Register`.
-6. Client calls `AddItem`.
-7. Client calls `Advise`.
-8. Worker forwards one `OnDataChange` event to the gateway.
-9. Gateway streams the event to the client.
-10. Client calls `CloseSession`.
-11. Gateway shuts down the worker.
-
-That slice proves the high-risk requirements: process isolation, STA ownership,
-message pumping, command routing, and event streaming.

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+`mxaccessgw` is the MXAccess Gateway: a gRPC service that gives modern (.NET, Go, Rust, Python, Java) clients full MXAccess parity without forcing them to load 32-bit MXAccess COM, run x86, or own an STA message pump.
+
+The architecture is a two-process design — read `gateway.md` before making structural changes:
+
+- **Gateway** (`src/MxGateway.Server`, .NET 10, x64): ASP.NET Core gRPC server. Owns the public API, sessions, auth, the Blazor dashboard, and the Galaxy Repository SQL browse RPCs. **Never instantiates MXAccess COM directly.**
+- **Worker** (`src/MxGateway.Worker`, .NET Framework 4.8, **x86**): one process per session. Owns one MXAccess COM instance on a dedicated STA, pumps Windows messages, and converts COM events to protobuf.
+- **IPC**: gateway↔worker uses one bidirectional named pipe per worker (`mxaccess-gateway-{gatewayPid}-{sessionId}`) with length-prefixed `WorkerEnvelope` protobuf frames. Gateway hosts the pipe server and launches the worker. **gRPC is not used inside the worker** — .NET Framework 4.8 doesn't have a first-class gRPC stack.
+- **Contracts** (`src/MxGateway.Contracts`): multi-targets `net10.0;net48` and owns the `.proto` files (`mxaccess_gateway.proto`, `mxaccess_worker.proto`, `galaxy_repository.proto`). All other projects consume the generated types from here. Do not hand-edit anything under `Generated/`.
+
+The worker must do all MXAccess COM calls on its dedicated STA thread, and the STA loop must pump Windows messages (`MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx` + `PeekMessage`/`DispatchMessage`) so MXAccess events deliver. A plain blocking queue on an STA is not enough.
+
+## Build, Test, Run
+
+```powershell
+# Full solution build (gateway, worker, contracts, tests)
+dotnet build src/MxGateway.sln
+
+# Worker must be built x86 — the gateway looks for MxGateway.Worker.exe under bin\x86
+dotnet build src/MxGateway.Worker/MxGateway.Worker.csproj -p:Platform=x86
+
+# Gateway tests (no MXAccess required — uses FakeWorkerHarness)
+dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj
+dotnet test src/MxGateway.Worker.Tests/MxGateway.Worker.Tests.csproj -p:Platform=x86
+
+# Run gateway locally (defaults bound under MxGateway:* in src/MxGateway.Server/appsettings.json)
+dotnet run --project src/MxGateway.Server/MxGateway.Server.csproj
+
+# API-key admin CLI (same exe, "apikey" subcommand)
+dotnet run --project src/MxGateway.Server/MxGateway.Server.csproj -- apikey create --display-name "dev" --scopes session:open,session:close,invoke:read,invoke:write,invoke:secure,events:read,metadata:read,admin
+```
+
+Single test by name (xUnit `--filter`):
+
+```powershell
+dotnet test src/MxGateway.Tests/MxGateway.Tests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~GatewayEndToEndFakeWorkerSmokeTests
+```
+
+Live MXAccess integration tests are **opt-in** because they need installed MXAccess COM and live provider state:
+
+```powershell
+$env:MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_MXACCESS_TESTS = "1"
+dotnet test src/MxGateway.IntegrationTests/MxGateway.IntegrationTests.csproj --filter FullyQualifiedName~WorkerLiveMxAccessSmokeTests
+```
+
+Live LDAP tests use `MXGATEWAY_RUN_LIVE_LDAP_TESTS=1`. See `docs/GatewayTesting.md` for the full opt-in matrix and `LiveMxAccessFactAttribute` / `LiveLdapFactAttribute` for the gating logic.
+
+## Clients
+
+Each language client is in `clients/<lang>/` with its own README. They all consume the shared `.proto` files in `src/MxGateway.Contracts/Protos`:
+
+- `clients/dotnet`: `dotnet build clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.sln`
+- `clients/python`: `python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"; python -m pytest`
+- `clients/rust`: `cargo test --workspace; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+- `clients/java`: `gradle test` (Java 21)
+- Go client lives alongside as `mxgw-go` in the cross-language matrix
+
+End-to-end matrix runner (needs running gateway + worker + valid API key):
+
+```powershell
+$env:MXGATEWAY_API_KEY = "<api-key>"
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/run-client-e2e-tests.ps1
+```
+
+## Repository-Specific Conventions
+
+- **Build properties** (`src/Directory.Build.props`) enforce `Nullable=enable`, `TreatWarningsAsErrors=true`, latest analyzers, and `EnforceCodeStyleInBuild=true`. New warnings break the build — fix them, don't suppress unless the suppression has a narrow reason.
+- **Style guides** in `docs/style-guides/` are authoritative. Follow `CSharpStyleGuide.md` for gateway/worker/.NET-client code: file-scoped namespaces, `sealed` by default, `Async` suffix on Task-returning methods, MXAccess-aligned names (`MxStatusProxy`, `ServerHandle`, `ItemHandle`, `HResult`).
+- **MXAccess parity is the contract.** Don't "fix" surprising MXAccess behavior (e.g., `WriteSecured` failing before a value-bearing NMX body, distinct `OperationComplete` semantics, invalid-handle exceptions) unless the client explicitly opts into a non-parity mode. The installed MXAccess COM component is the baseline.
+- **Don't synthesize events.** The gateway forwards only events the worker emits; it never invents `OperationComplete` from write completion or command replies.
+- **One worker per session, one event subscriber per session** (v1). Multi-subscriber fan-out and reconnectable sessions are explicitly out of scope — see `docs/DesignDecisions.md`.
+- **Gateway restart does not reattach orphan workers.** The first version terminates orphaned workers on startup; do not design code paths that assume reattachment.
+- **No Blazor UI component libraries.** Dashboard uses local Bootstrap CSS/JS only — do not introduce MudBlazor, Radzen, FluentUI, etc.
+- **Don't log secrets or full tag values by default.** API keys, passwords, `WriteSecured` payloads, and `AuthenticateUser` credentials must never reach logs. Value logging is opt-in and redacted.
+- **Generated code** under `src/MxGateway.Contracts/Generated/`, `clients/*/generated*/`, `clients/python/src/mxgateway/generated/`, etc., is build output. Don't hand-edit. To regenerate, build the contracts project (`dotnet build src/MxGateway.Contracts/MxGateway.Contracts.csproj`) or run the per-client generation step in that client's README.
+- **Documentation style** (`StyleGuide.md`): PascalCase filenames, no marketing language, present tense, explain *why* not *what*.
+- **Update docs in the same change as the source.** When public APIs, contracts, configuration, build steps, security behavior, event shapes, value conversion, status mapping, or lifecycle rules change, the affected docs (`gateway.md`, `docs/`, client READMEs, design docs) must change in the same commit. Don't leave stale prose describing old behavior.
+
+## Source Update Workflow
+
+When source code changes, build and test the affected component before reporting work done. If the change crosses component boundaries, build each affected component — don't rely on a single top-level build:
+
+| Changed area | Required verification |
+|---|---|
+| Contracts or `.proto` files | regenerate generated code, then build gateway, worker, and every generated client touched by the contract |
+| Gateway server, sessions, workers, gRPC, dashboard, metrics | `dotnet build src/MxGateway.Server` and run affected gateway / fake-worker tests |
+| Worker IPC, STA, MXAccess, conversion | `dotnet build src/MxGateway.Worker -p:Platform=x86` and run worker tests |
+| .NET client | `dotnet build clients/dotnet/MxGateway.Client.sln` and run its tests |
+| Go client | `gofmt`, `go build ./...`, `go test ./...` from `clients/go` |
+| Rust client | `cargo fmt`, `cargo check --workspace`, `cargo test --workspace`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` from `clients/rust` |
+| Python client | `python -m pytest` from `clients/python` |
+| Java client | `gradle test` from `clients/java` |
+| Integration tests | run only when MXAccess COM, provider state, and external services are available; otherwise document why skipped |
+
+## Design Sources To Consult Before Non-Trivial Changes
+
+- `gateway.md` — top-level architecture, command/event surface, IPC envelope, STA thread model, fault handling.
+- `glauth.md` — local LDAP server (GLAuth on `localhost:3893`, base DN `dc=lmxopcua,dc=local`) used for dev authn. Pre-provisioned users (`admin/admin123`, `readonly/readonly123`, etc.) and the role→capability mapping live there.
+- `docs/DesignDecisions.md` — v1 choices (MXAccess COM target `LMXProxyServerClass` from `C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\ArchestrA.MXAccess.dll`, API-key-in-SQLite auth, fail-fast event backpressure, etc.).
+- `docs/GatewayProcessDesign.md`, `docs/MxAccessWorkerInstanceDesign.md`, `docs/WorkerFrameProtocol.md`, `docs/WorkerProcessLauncher.md` — detailed component designs.
+- `docs/GatewayConfiguration.md` — full `MxGateway:*` options bound by `GatewayOptions` and validated at startup by `GatewayOptionsValidator`.
+- `docs/GatewayTesting.md` — fake worker harness, live MXAccess smoke, parity matrix, cross-language smoke matrix.
+- `docs/ToolchainLinks.md` — installed compiler/SDK paths on this dev box (.NET 10.0.201, Go 1.26.2, Rust 1.95, Python 3.12.10, Temurin 21, protoc 34.1, etc.).

Connection is SQL Server `localhost`, database `ZB`, Windows Auth.
+
+## Authentication
+
+Gateway gRPC clients authenticate with an API key in metadata: `authorization: Bearer mxgw_<key-id>_<secret>`. Keys are stored hashed (with a peppered SHA) in a gateway-owned SQLite DB (default `C:\ProgramData\MxGateway\gateway-auth.db`). Scopes (`session:open`, `session:close`, `invoke:read`, `invoke:write`, `invoke:secure`, `events:read`, `metadata:read`, `admin`) gate specific RPCs; missing → `Unauthenticated`, insufficient → `PermissionDenied`. The `apikey` subcommand on the server exe manages keys; see `src/MxGateway.Server/Security/Authentication/`.
+
+Dashboard auth uses the same verifier but exchanges the API key for an HTTP-only secure cookie at `/dashboard/login`. `Dashboard:AllowAnonymousLocalhost` bypasses cookie auth on loopback when explicitly enabled.
+
+## Process / Platform Notes
+
+- Working tree is on Windows (`C:\Users\dohertj2\Desktop\mxaccessgw`). PowerShell is the native shell for tooling commands; bash is fine for git/grep/find.
+- The worker reference to `ArchestrA.MXAccess.dll` uses an absolute `HintPath` to `C:\Program Files (x86)\ArchestrA\Framework\Bin\ArchestrA.MXAccess.dll`. The worker only builds where MXAccess is installed (this dev box).
+- The repo is not a git repository at the top level — there's no `.git` directory in the working tree.

+# Code Review Process
+
+This document describes how to perform a comprehensive, per-module code review of
+the `mxaccessgw` codebase and how to track findings to resolution.
+
+A **module** is one buildable project under `src/` (e.g. `src/MxGateway.Worker`)
+or one language client under `clients/` (e.g. `clients/rust`). Each module has
+its own folder under `code-reviews/` containing a single `findings.md`.
+
+## 1. Before you start
+
+1. Pick the module to review. Its folder is `code-reviews/<Module>/`:
+   - For a `src/` project, `<Module>` is the project name with the `MxGateway.`
+     prefix stripped — `src/MxGateway.Server` is reviewed in `code-reviews/Server/`.
+   - For a language client, `<Module>` is `Client.<Lang>` — `clients/rust` is
+     reviewed in `code-reviews/Client.Rust/`.
+2. Identify the design context for the module:
+   - `gateway.md` — top-level architecture, command/event surface, IPC envelope,
+     STA thread model, fault handling.
+   - The relevant component design docs under `docs/` (e.g.
+     `docs/MxAccessWorkerInstanceDesign.md`, `docs/GatewayProcessDesign.md`,
+     `docs/Sessions.md`, `docs/Authentication.md`, `docs/GalaxyRepository.md`).
+   - `docs/DesignDecisions.md` for the v1 design choices.
+   - The **Repository-Specific Conventions** and **Process / Platform Notes** in
+     `CLAUDE.md`.
+3. Record the exact commit being reviewed: `git rev-parse --short HEAD`. Every
+   review is a snapshot — a finding only means something relative to a known
+   commit.
+4. Open `code-reviews/<Module>/findings.md` and fill in the header table
+   (reviewer, date, commit SHA, status).
+
+## 2. Review checklist
+
+Work through **every** category below for the module. A comprehensive review
+means the checklist is completed even where it produces no findings — record
+"No issues found" for a category rather than leaving it ambiguous.
+
+1. **Correctness & logic bugs** — off-by-one, null handling, incorrect
+   conditionals, misuse of APIs, broken edge cases.
+2. **mxaccessgw conventions** — the rules in `CLAUDE.md` and the style guides
+   under `docs/style-guides/`: the gateway never instantiates MXAccess COM
+   directly; all MXAccess COM calls run on the worker's dedicated STA thread and
+   the STA loop pumps Windows messages; IPC uses one bidirectional named pipe per
+   worker carrying length-prefixed `WorkerEnvelope` protobuf frames; MXAccess
+   parity is the contract (don't "fix" surprising MXAccess behaviour, never
+   synthesize events); one worker and one event subscriber per session; the
+   gateway terminates orphan workers on startup and does not reattach; C# style
+   (file-scoped namespaces, `sealed` by default, `Async` suffix, MXAccess-aligned
+   names); no Blazor UI component libraries; no logging of secrets or full tag
+   values; generated code is never hand-edited.
+3. **Concurrency & thread safety** — shared mutable state, STA affinity, race
+   conditions, correct use of `async`/`await`, locking, disposal races.
+4. **Error handling & resilience** — exception paths, worker crash / reconnect
+   handling, fail-fast event backpressure, transient vs permanent error
+   classification, graceful degradation, correct gRPC status codes.
+5. **Security** — authentication/authorization checks, API-key scope enforcement,
+   input validation, SQL injection in the Galaxy Repository RPCs, secret
+   handling, the dashboard anonymous-localhost bypass, logging of sensitive data.
+6. **Performance & resource management** — `IDisposable` disposal, pipe / stream
+   / COM lifetimes, buffering and back-pressure, unnecessary allocations on hot
+   paths, N+1 queries.
+7. **Design-document adherence** — does the code match `gateway.md`, the relevant
+   `docs/` component designs, `docs/DesignDecisions.md`, and `CLAUDE.md`? Flag
+   both code that drifts from the design and design docs that are now stale.
+8. **Code organization & conventions** — namespace hierarchy, project layout, the
+   Options pattern, separation of concerns, additive-only contract evolution.
+9. **Testing coverage** — are the module's behaviours covered by tests
+   (`src/MxGateway.Tests`, `src/MxGateway.Worker.Tests`,
+   `src/MxGateway.IntegrationTests`)? Note untested critical paths and missing
+   edge-case tests.
+10. **Documentation & comments** — XML doc accuracy, misleading or stale comments,
+    undocumented non-obvious behaviour.
+
+## 3. Recording findings
+
+Add one entry per finding to the `## Findings` section of the module's
+`findings.md`, using the entry format in
+[`_template/findings.md`](code-reviews/_template/findings.md).
+
+- **Finding ID** — `<Module>-NNN`, numbered sequentially within the module and
+  never reused (e.g. `Worker-001`). IDs are permanent even after resolution.
+- **Severity:**
+  - **Critical** — data loss, security breach, crash/deadlock, or outage.
+  - **High** — incorrect behaviour with significant impact; no safe workaround.
+  - **Medium** — incorrect or risky behaviour with limited impact or a workaround.
+  - **Low** — minor issues, style, maintainability, documentation.
+- **Category** — one of the 10 checklist categories above.
+- **Location** — `file:line` (clickable), or a list of locations.
+- **Description** — what is wrong and why it matters.
+- **Recommendation** — concrete suggested fix.
+
+After recording findings, update the module header table (status, open-finding
+count) and regenerate the base README (step 5).
+
+## 4. Marking an item resolved
+
+Findings are **never deleted** — they are an audit trail. To close one, change
+its **Status** and complete the **Resolution** field:
+
+- `Open` — newly recorded, not yet addressed.
+- `In Progress` — a fix is actively being worked on.
+- `Resolved` — fixed. The Resolution field must state the fixing commit SHA, the
+  date, and a one-line description of the fix.
+- `Won't Fix` — intentionally not fixed. The Resolution field must justify why.
+- `Deferred` — valid but postponed. The Resolution field must say what it is
+  waiting on (e.g. a tracked issue or a later milestone).
+
+`Resolved`, `Won't Fix`, and `Deferred` findings are all considered **closed**.
+`Open` and `In Progress` are **pending** and appear in the base README's Pending
+Findings table.
+
+## 5. Updating the base README
+
+`code-reviews/README.md` holds the single cross-module view (the Module Status
+table and the Pending / Closed Findings tables). It is **generated** from the
+per-module `findings.md` files — do not edit it by hand.
+
+After any review or status change, regenerate it:
+
+```
+python code-reviews/regen-readme.py
+```
+
+`regen-readme.py --check` exits non-zero if `README.md` is stale, if a module
+header's `Open findings` count disagrees with its finding statuses, or if a
+finding carries an unrecognised Status value. The PowerShell wrapper
+`scripts/check-code-reviews-readme.ps1` runs that check and is the intended hook
+for CI or a pre-commit step.
+
+> The repo's installed `python` is the real interpreter; the bare `python3`
+> alias resolves to the Windows Store stub and fails. Use `python`.
+
+The per-module `findings.md` files are the source of truth; `README.md` is the
+aggregated index and must always agree with them — which the script guarantees.
+
+## 6. Re-reviewing a module
+
+Re-reviews append to the same `findings.md`. Update the header to the new commit
+and date, continue the finding numbering from the last used ID, and leave prior
+findings (including closed ones) in place as history.

 returned subscription owns cancellation and exposes `Close` for deterministic
-goroutine cleanup. Raw protobuf messages remain available through the

+bounded internal buffer: if the consumer drains too slowly the buffer fills,
+the underlying stream is cancelled, and a terminal `EventResult` carrying
+`ErrEventBufferOverflow` is delivered as the channel's last item before it
+closes — so a slow consumer can distinguish dropped events from a normal
+end-of-stream. `SubscribeEvents` blocks instead of dropping, so use it when no
+events may be lost. Raw protobuf messages remain available through the
 `mxgateway` package aliases and the `Raw` helper methods. Typed errors support
 `errors.As` for `GatewayError`, `CommandError`, and `MxAccessError`; command
 errors preserve the raw reply.
 
+`Dial` and `DialGalaxy` create the connection lazily (`grpc.NewClient`): a
+gateway that is briefly unavailable no longer turns into a hard error — the
+connection recovers once the gateway comes up. To keep fail-fast behavior,
+both run a readiness probe bounded by `DialTimeout` (default 10s, or the
+context deadline when sooner) and return a `*GatewayError` if the gateway
+cannot be reached in that window.
+
+For retry, timeout, and auth handling, `GatewayError.Code()` exposes the
+wrapped gRPC `codes.Code`, and `mxgateway.IsTransient(err)` reports whether a
+failure (`Unavailable`, `DeadlineExceeded`, `ResourceExhausted`, `Aborted`)
+may succeed on retry — so callers do not have to unwrap the error and call

+`openSession` verifies the gateway's reported `gateway_protocol_version` against

+mismatch, so an incompatible client fails fast with a clear message instead of
+issuing commands that fail downstream. A gateway that does not populate the
+field is accepted unchanged.
+
+`MxGatewaySession` implements `AutoCloseable`. The try-with-resources `close()`
+performs a `CloseSession` network RPC but swallows (and logs) any failure of

+body is already propagating. Call `closeRaw()` explicitly when you need to
+observe the close result or handle a close-time failure.
+
+`MxGatewayClient` and `GalaxyRepositoryClient` implement `AutoCloseable`. For a
+client that owns its channel (built with `connect`), the try-with-resources
+`close()` shuts the channel down and waits up to the configured connect timeout
+for termination, forcibly shutting it down on timeout, so in-flight calls and
+Netty event-loop threads are not left running after the block exits. If the
+calling thread is interrupted while waiting, the channel is forcibly shut down
+and the interrupt flag is restored. `closeAndAwaitTermination()` does the same
+but throws `InterruptedException` for callers that want a checked,
+blocking-aware shutdown. `close()` is a no-op for a caller-managed channel.
+
 `MxEventStream` implements `Iterator<MxEvent>` and `AutoCloseable`. Closing it
 cancels the underlying gRPC stream. Canceling or timing out a Java client call
 only stops the client from waiting; it does not abort an in-flight MXAccess COM
-call on the worker STA.
+call on the worker STA. The event stream uses gRPC's default auto-inbound flow
+control with a fixed 16-element buffer and no client-side flow control: this is
+the gateway's documented fail-fast event-backpressure model, so a consumer that
+stalls long enough to fill the buffer triggers an overflow that cancels the
+subscription and surfaces an `MxGatewayException` from the next `next()` call.
+Drain events promptly and be prepared to resubscribe with a resume cursor.

+ * loses its subscription rather than silently dropping events. Consumers that
+ * cannot keep up must drain {@link #next()} promptly (e.g. hand events to their
+ * own larger queue) and be prepared to resubscribe with a resume cursor.
