docs: complete XML-doc coverage and strip internal tracking IDs from code comments

Resolve all CommentChecker findings across the gateway server, worker, tests, and .NET client (314 -> 0 real issues): add missing <returns>/<summary>/<param> on public and test members, convert Stream/interface overrides to <inheritdoc/>, and remove internal task/issue tracking IDs (SEC-*, IPC-*, WRK-*, GWC-*, TST-*, Client.Dotnet-*) from shipped code documentation while preserving the design rationale prose. Shipped comments should not carry internal bookkeeping, and complete XML docs keep the analyzer/TreatWarningsAsErrors gate and generated API docs clean. The 6 remaining flags are heuristic false positives (MD5, UTC-4, capacity-1, near-1601) left intact so real documentation is not corrupted.

 | 2026-07-09 | P1 Wave 2a (security). SEC-01/04/06 → `Done` (config path-rooting + production validator guards; Server build clean, validator+hygiene tests 53/53). SEC-10 → `Done`: the shared `ZB.MOM.WW.Auth.ApiKeys` gained optional `ExpiresUtc` (expired keys rejected, auth DB auto-migrates to schema v3) via a concurrent HistorianGateway-remediation session's "G-2"; this repo consumes it by bumping the four `Auth.*` refs 0.1.2→0.1.4 (commit 197731a). Remaining SEC-10 polish (`apikey create --expires` + dashboard staleness badge) tracked as a small follow-up. |
 | 2026-07-09 | P1 Wave 1 (CI + codegen freshness + Rust buildability) via parallel agents. IPC-01/09/19/20, CLI-02 → `Done`; TST-03 → `In review` (CI pipeline authored + YAML/layout-validated, but not yet executed on a Gitea runner — proven on first push). Verified on macOS: NonWindows build clean, `ClientProtoInputTests` 5/5, `publish-client-proto-inputs.ps1 -Check` exit 0, `cargo package` (no `--no-verify`) compiles standalone. Added a vendored-Rust-proto drift guard (Check 3) to `check-codegen.ps1` closing the CLI-02 static-copy risk. IPC-09 script guards not executed end-to-end (need pinned python/JRE toolchains); logic is PATH-resolution + version assertion. |
 | 2026-07-09 | WRK-01 → `Done`. Verified on Windows host (windev) via an isolated `origin/main` worktree: worker builds x86 clean, `StaRuntimeTests`+`WorkerPipeSessionTests` 33/33 pass. Fixed an `xUnit1030` build error (the new worker test used `.ConfigureAwait(false)` in `[Fact]` bodies) that the macOS tree could not surface. Also ran GWC-01's Windows-only `WorkerClientTests` on windev: 18/18 pass (incl. `ReadEventsAsync_SecondEnumerator_Throws`). All 8 P0 findings now `Done`. Not yet committed. |
+| 2026-07-10 | **TST-03 → `Done`: CI is live and green** on branch `fix/ci-selfhosted-tooling`. The pipeline was authored (P1) but had never executed. Root cause it never ran: the co-located `gitea-runner` on the docker host (`10.100.0.35`) spawned job containers on an isolated network (`container.network: ""`) that could not resolve Gitea's internal clone URL `http://gitea:3000`; one-line host fix `container.network: "traefik"` + `docker restart gitea-runner`. The self-hosted `catthehacker` act image also lacks tooling GitHub-hosted runners preinstall — ci.yml now installs pwsh (dotnet global tool, for `check-codegen.ps1`) and Gradle 9.5.1 directly (act can't resolve the `gradle/actions` monorepo action; no gradle wrapper in repo). Driving to green surfaced and fixed **five real latent defects** (TST-03 doing its job): `check-codegen.ps1` `.Trim()`-on-`$null` on a clean tree; **stale vendored rust proto** (`clients/rust/protos/mxaccess_worker.proto` missing canonical `max_frame_bytes`); `OrphanWorkerTerminatorTests` hard-coded `C:\` path failing Linux `Path.GetFullPath` (0 kills); **stale java generated** `MxaccessWorker.java` (missing `max_frame_bytes`, regenerated); a sync python test building a `grpc.aio.Channel` with no current event loop on py3.12 (autouse conftest fixture). Result: `portable` **success** (NonWindows build + codegen freshness + 808/808 gateway tests + .NET/Go/Rust/Python clients) and `java` **success**. `windows` + `live-mxaccess` jobs remain `queued` pending a self-hosted **windev** runner (`10.100.0.48`) with those labels — separate follow-up, does not gate portable/java. |

Joseph Doherty	b86c6bb47f	docs: complete XML-doc coverage and strip internal tracking IDs from code comments ci / java (push) Successful in 5m51s Details ci / portable (push) Successful in 6m43s Details Resolve all CommentChecker findings across the gateway server, worker, tests, and .NET client (314 -> 0 real issues): add missing <returns>/<summary>/<param> on public and test members, convert Stream/interface overrides to <inheritdoc/>, and remove internal task/issue tracking IDs (SEC-, IPC-, WRK-, GWC-, TST-, Client.Dotnet-) from shipped code documentation while preserving the design rationale prose. Shipped comments should not carry internal bookkeeping, and complete XML docs keep the analyzer/TreatWarningsAsErrors gate and generated API docs clean. The 6 remaining flags are heuristic false positives (MD5, UTC-4, capacity-1, near-1601) left intact so real documentation is not corrupted.

Remove them so portable + java are the whole pipeline and runs finish clean-green. x86 Worker and live-MXAccess verification stay on the manual windev worktree process.
