Joseph Doherty dc9c0c950c rename: prefix gateway projects/namespaces with ZB.MOM.WW + sln→slnx
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

# Client Proto Generation
This document defines the stable protobuf inputs that official clients use to
generate language-specific gRPC bindings. The checked-in `.proto` files remain
the source of truth so clients do not drift from the gateway and worker
contracts.
## Stable Inputs
The stable client input manifest is `clients/proto/proto-inputs.json`. It
records:
- the public gateway protocol version,
- the worker IPC protocol version,
- the protobuf import root,
- the public and worker source files,
- the descriptor set path,
- golden fixture locations,
- behavior fixture locations,
- generated-code output directories for each planned client.
The source files listed by the manifest are:
- `src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/Protos/mxaccess_gateway.proto`
- `src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/Protos/mxaccess_worker.proto`
- `src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/Protos/galaxy_repository.proto`
`mxaccess_gateway.proto` defines the public gRPC service and shared DTOs.
`mxaccess_worker.proto` is included in the descriptor because worker-aware
tests and fake-worker clients need the same command, reply, event, value, and
status shapes. `galaxy_repository.proto` defines the read-only Galaxy
Repository browse service used by clients to enumerate the deployed object
hierarchy and dynamic attributes; see
[Galaxy Repository Browse](./GalaxyRepository.md).
## Protocol Version
`GatewayContractInfo.GatewayProtocolVersion` is the public gateway protocol
version. `OpenSessionReply.gateway_protocol_version` returns the same value so
clients can compare their generated bindings against the gateway before issuing
MXAccess commands.
`GatewayContractInfo.WorkerProtocolVersion` remains the gateway-to-worker IPC
protocol version. It is also present in `OpenSessionReply` because parity
fixtures and fake-worker tests need to know the worker contract used by the
session.
## Descriptor Publishing
Run this command after changing either source `.proto` file or the client proto
manifest:
```powershell
scripts/publish-client-proto-inputs.ps1
```
The script writes
`clients/proto/descriptors/mxaccessgw-client-v1.protoset` with imports and
source information included. The descriptor is a generated artifact; do not edit
it by hand.
Use the check mode in CI or before committing:
```powershell
scripts/publish-client-proto-inputs.ps1 -Check
```
`-Check` rebuilds the descriptor in a temporary path and fails when the checked
in descriptor is stale.
## Output Directories
The manifest declares these generated-code directories:
| Client | Directory |
|--------|-----------|
| .NET | `clients/dotnet/generated` |
| Go | `clients/go/internal/generated` |
| Rust | `clients/rust/src/generated` |
| Python | `clients/python/src/mxgateway/generated` |
| Java | `clients/java/src/main/generated` |
Only generator output belongs in these directories. Handwritten client wrappers
belong in the language-specific source trees created by the client scaffold
issues.
## Language Generation Inputs
All generators use `src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/Protos` as the protobuf import
root. The checked-in descriptor is available when a language build prefers a
descriptor input, but the `.proto` files remain canonical.
Use these commands to regenerate language-specific client bindings:
| Client | Command |
|--------|---------|
| .NET | `dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts.csproj` |
| Go | `Push-Location clients/go; ./generate-proto.ps1; Pop-Location` |
| Rust | `Push-Location clients/rust; cargo check --workspace; Pop-Location` |
| Python | `Push-Location clients/python; ./generate-proto.ps1; Pop-Location` |
| Java | `Push-Location clients/java; gradle :mxgateway-client:generateProto; Pop-Location` |
.NET generation currently runs through the contracts project:
```powershell
dotnet build src/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts/ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts.csproj
```
Future .NET client projects may either reference `ZB.MOM.WW.MxGateway.Contracts` or
generate client-local files into `clients/dotnet/generated` with `Grpc.Tools`.
Go clients should generate `mxaccess_gateway.proto` and
`mxaccess_worker.proto` into `clients/go/internal/generated` with
`protoc-gen-go` and `protoc-gen-go-grpc`. Keep generated packages internal
unless the wrapper API intentionally exposes raw protobuf messages.
The Go scaffold provides a repo-local generation script:
```powershell
clients/go/generate-proto.ps1
```
The script maps both proto files into the internal Go package
`gitea.dohertylan.com/dohertj2/mxaccessgw/clients/go/internal/generated` because
the source `.proto` files do not carry Go-specific `go_package` options. This
keeps language-specific packaging outside the public contract files.
Rust clients use `tonic-build` from `clients/rust/build.rs`. The build script
reads the shared `.proto` files and emits generated `tonic`/`prost` modules
into Cargo build output. `clients/rust/src/generated.rs` contains the module
declarations that include those generated files. `clients/rust/src/generated`
remains reserved for checked-in generator output if the crate later changes to
source-tree generation, and handwritten wrapper code stays outside that
directory.
Run the Rust workspace checks from `clients/rust`:
```powershell
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo test --workspace
cargo check --workspace
```
Python clients should use `grpc_tools.protoc` and write generated modules under
`clients/python/src/mxgateway/generated` so imports stay separate from
handwritten async wrappers.
The Python scaffold provides a repo-local generation script:
```powershell
clients/python/generate-proto.ps1
```
Java clients use the Gradle protobuf plugin from `clients/java`. The
`mxgateway-client` project reads the shared `.proto` files and writes generated
Java protobuf and gRPC sources under `clients/java/src/main/generated`, matching
the manifest output path. Handwritten client and CLI code stays in the
`mxgateway-client` and `mxgateway-cli` project source trees.
Run the Java workspace checks from `clients/java`:
```powershell
gradle test
```
## Golden Fixtures
Golden protobuf JSON fixtures live in `clients/proto/fixtures/golden`. They
exercise payloads that every language client must parse:
- `open-session-reply.ok.json`
- `register-command-request.json`
- `on-data-change-event.json`
The fixtures use protobuf JSON field names and enum values. Contract tests parse
them with the generated C# types so schema drift is caught before client
generation work starts.
## Behavior Fixtures
Cross-language behavior fixtures live in
`clients/proto/fixtures/behavior`. The manifest
`clients/proto/fixtures/behavior/manifest.json` lists command replies, ordered
event stream samples, value conversion cases, status conversion cases, auth
error expectations, and timeout/cancel expectations.
The behavior fixtures let each generated client wrapper test the same
expectations without a live gateway. Protobuf message fixtures parse with the
generated types. Auth and timeout/cancel files describe wrapper behavior above
the generated transport layer, including credential redaction and the rule that
client cancellation does not abort an in-flight MXAccess COM call.
Run the focused validation script after changing these fixtures:
```powershell
scripts/validate-client-behavior-fixtures.ps1
```
