Phases 1+2 of the design at
docs/plans/2026-05-12-script-scope-access-design.md.
Adds ergonomic scope-aware accessors to compiled scripts. A script
on a composed TempSensor reads its own attribute via
Attributes["Temperature"]; reaches up to the parent via
Parent.Attributes["SpeedRPM"]; invokes a child script via
Children["TempSensor"].CallScript("Sample"). All resolve to the
existing flat Instance.GetAttribute / SetAttribute / CallScript
delegates by prepending the script's canonical path prefix.
Runtime types (SiteRuntime.Scripts.ScopeAccessors):
AttributeAccessor sync indexer + GetAsync / SetAsync
CompositionAccessor Attributes + CallScript
ChildrenAccessor Children["name"] => CompositionAccessor
ScriptGlobals gains Scope, Attributes, Children, Parent properties.
Sync indexer blocks on the Instance Actor Ask; explicit GetAsync /
SetAsync are also available for callers that want to await.
Plumbing:
- Commons.Types.Scripts.ScriptScope record (SelfPath / ParentPath).
- ResolvedScript.Scope (defaults to ScriptScope.Root for back-compat).
- FlatteningService emits new ScriptScope(prefix, "") for each
composed script so a script defined on TempSensor composed under
a parent gets SelfPath = "TempSensor".
- ScriptActor reads the Scope from its ResolvedScript and forwards
it through ScriptExecutionActor into ScriptGlobals on each call.
RevisionHashService not touched: the per-script canonical name
already encodes the composition path, so any structural change
already flips the hash.
10 new unit tests on the path arithmetic. Site/Template engine
suites stay green (129 + 199).
Editor surface (Phase 3: metadata fetch, Phase 4: completion +
SCADA006 / SCADA007 diagnostics) follows in the next commits.
Composable StaleTagMonitor class in Commons fires a Stale event when no
value is received within a configurable max silence period. Integrated
into both LmxProxyDataConnection and OpcUaDataConnection adapters via
optional HeartbeatTagPath/HeartbeatMaxSilence connection config keys.
When stale, the adapter fires Disconnected triggering the standard
reconnect cycle. 10 unit tests cover timer behavior.
Add NodeStatus record, IClusterNodeProvider interface, and AkkaClusterNodeProvider
that queries Akka cluster membership for all site-role nodes. HealthReportSender
populates ClusterNodes before each report. UI shows a row per node with
hostname, Online/Offline badge, and Primary/Standby badge. Falls back to
single-node display if ClusterNodes is not populated.
New fields in SiteHealthReport: NodeHostname, DataConnectionEndpoints
(primary/secondary), DataConnectionTagQuality (good/bad/uncertain),
ParkedMessageCount. New collector methods to populate them.
Health dashboard redesigned to match mockup: Nodes | Data Connections
(with per-connection tag quality) | Instances + S&F Buffers | Error
Counts + Parked Messages. Site names resolved from repository.
Replace raw dictionary casting with ScriptParameters wrapper that provides
Get<T>, Get<T?>, Get<T[]>, and Get<List<T>> with clear error messages,
numeric conversion, and JsonElement support for Inbound API parameters.
The LmxProxy client's ExtractArrayValue now returns proper .NET arrays
(bool[], int[], DateTime[], etc.) instead of ArrayValue objects. Removed
the reflection-based FormatArrayContainer logic — IEnumerable handling
is sufficient for all array types.
ArrayValue from LmxProxy client was showing as type name in debug views.
Added ValueFormatter utility and NormalizeValue in LmxProxyDataConnection
to convert arrays at the adapter boundary. DateTime arrays remain as
"System.DateTime[]" due to server-side v1 string serialization.
Thread backup data connection fields through management command messages,
ManagementActor handlers, SiteService, site-side SQLite storage, and
deployment/replication actors. The old --configuration CLI flag is kept
as a hidden alias for backwards compatibility.
Add ActiveEndpoint field to DataConnectionHealthReport showing which
endpoint is active (Primary, Backup, or Primary with no backup configured).
Log failover transitions and connection restoration events to the site
event log via ISiteEventLogger, passed as an optional parameter through
the actor hierarchy for backwards compatibility.
Update CreateConnectionCommand to carry PrimaryConnectionDetails,
BackupConnectionDetails, and FailoverRetryCount. Update all callers:
DataConnectionManagerActor, DataConnectionActor, DeploymentManagerActor,
FlatteningService, and ConnectionConfig. The actor stores both configs
but continues using primary only — failover logic comes in Task 3.
Replace SiteDataConnectionAssignment join table with a direct SiteId FK on DataConnection,
simplifying the data model, repositories, UI, CLI, and deployment service.
ClusterClient Sender refs are temporary proxies — valid for immediate reply
but not durable for future Tells. Events now flow as DebugStreamEvent through
SiteCommunicationActor → ClusterClient → CentralCommunicationActor → bridge
actor (same pattern as health reports). Also fix DebugStreamHub to use
IHubContext for long-lived callbacks instead of transient hub instance.
Replace the CLI's Akka.NET ClusterClient transport with a simple HTTP client
targeting a new POST /management endpoint on the Central Host. The endpoint
handles Basic Auth, LDAP authentication, role resolution, and ManagementActor
dispatch in a single round-trip — eliminating the CLI's Akka, LDAP, and
Security dependencies.
Also fixes DCL ReSubscribeAll losing subscriptions on repeated reconnect by
deriving the tag list from _subscriptionsByInstance instead of _subscriptionIds.
- Add JoeAppEngine folder to OPC UA nodes.json (BTCS, AlarmCntsBySeverity, Scheduler/ScanTime)
- Fix DataConnectionActor: capture Self in PreStart for use from non-actor threads,
preventing Self.Tell failure in Disconnected event handler
- Implement InstanceActor.HandleConnectionQualityChanged to mark attributes Bad on disconnect
- Fix LmxFakeProxy TagMapper to serialize arrays as JSON instead of "System.Int32[]"
- Allow DataType and DataSourceReference updates in TemplateService.UpdateAttributeAsync
- Update test_infra_opcua.md with JoeAppEngine documentation
Add SiteReplicationActor (runs on every site node) to replicate deployed
configs and store-and-forward buffer operations to the standby peer via
cluster member discovery and fire-and-forget Tell. Wire ReplicationService
handler and pass replication actor to DeploymentManagerActor singleton.
Fix 5 pre-existing ConfigurationDatabase test failures: RowVersion NOT NULL
on SQLite, stale migration name assertion, and seed data count mismatch.
Adds `debug snapshot --id <int>` to query a running instance's current
attribute values and alarm states without the subscribe/stream overhead
of the debug view. Routes through ManagementActor → CommunicationService
→ site DeploymentManager → InstanceActor using the existing remote query
pattern.
Add 33 new management message records, ManagementActor handlers, and CLI
commands to close all functionality gaps between the Central UI and the
Management CLI. New capabilities include:
- Template member CRUD (attributes, alarms, scripts, compositions)
- Shared script CRUD
- Database connection definition CRUD
- Inbound API method CRUD
- LDAP scope rule management
- API key enable/disable
- Area update
- Remote event log and parked message queries
- Missing get/update commands for templates, sites, instances, data
connections, external systems, notifications, and SMTP config
Includes 12 new ManagementActor unit tests covering authorization,
happy-path queries, and error handling. Updates CLI README and component
design documents (Component-CLI.md, Component-ManagementService.md).
Wired ISiteHealthCollector calls for script errors (ScriptExecutionActor),
alarm eval errors (AlarmActor), dead letters (DeadLetterMonitorActor), and
S&F buffer depth placeholder. Added instance count tracking (deployed/
enabled/disabled) to SiteHealthReport via DeploymentManagerActor. Updated
Health Dashboard UI to show instance counts per site. All metrics flow
through the existing health report pipeline via ClusterClient.
Central now resolves site Akka remoting addresses from the Sites DB table
(NodeAAddress/NodeBAddress) instead of relying on runtime RegisterSite
messages. Eliminates the race condition where sites starting before central
had their registration dead-lettered. Addresses are cached in
CentralCommunicationActor with 60s periodic refresh and on-demand refresh
when sites are added/edited/deleted via UI or CLI.
Attributes bound to data connections now initialize with "Uncertain" quality,
distinguishing "never received a value" from "known good" or "connection lost."
Quality is tracked per attribute and included in GetAttributeResponse.
Two Akka.NET deserialization bugs prevented CLI commands from reaching ManagementActor: IReadOnlyList<string> in AuthenticatedUser serialized as a compiler-generated internal type unknown to the server, and ManagementSuccess.Data carried server-side assembly types the CLI couldn't resolve on receipt. Fixed by using string[] for roles and pre-serializing response data to JSON in ManagementActor before sending. Adds full CLI reference documentation covering all 10 command groups.
- Add TagValueUpdate/ConnectionQualityChanged handlers to InstanceActor
- InstanceActor subscribes to DCL on PreStart based on DataSourceReference
- DeploymentManagerActor creates DCL connections on deploy and passes DCL ref
- AkkaHostedService creates DCL Manager Actor for tag subscriptions
- Move CreateConnectionCommand to Commons for cross-project access
- Add ConnectionConfig to FlattenedConfiguration for deployment packaging
Bootstrap served locally with absolute paths and <base href="/">.
LDAP auth uses search-then-bind with service account for GLAuth compatibility.
CookieAuthenticationStateProvider reads HttpContext.User instead of parsing JWT.
Login/logout forms opt out of Blazor enhanced nav (data-enhance="false").
Nav links use absolute paths; seed data includes Design/Deployment group mappings.
DataConnections page loads all connections (not just site-assigned).
Site appsettings configured for Test Plant A; Site registers with Central on startup.
DeploymentService resolves string site identifier for Akka routing.
Instances page gains Create Instance form.
17 source projects (Commons + Host + 15 components) and 17 xUnit test projects.
SLNX format, net10.0, nullable enabled, warnings as errors. All components
reference Commons; Host references all components. Builds and tests clean.
