Audit of every page in CentralUI against the Sites.razor card-grid
pattern, the no-third-party-UI-libs constraint, and accessibility
basics. Findings + per-page severity + suggested implementation
order live in docs/plans/. Implementation follows in subsequent commits.
Captures the design decisions from the brainstorming session:
- OpcUaEndpointConfig POCO + validator + serializer in Commons
- Single source of truth: both UI and site runtime consume the model
- Typed nested JSON storage (camelCase), legacy flat-dict fallback
- Shared <OpcUaEndpointEditor> Blazor component used twice
- Custom protocol removed from dropdown; Protocol field hidden
- Validation timing on Save only; per-field red text via ValidationEntry
Brings the Data Connections admin page up to the same UX standard as the
Topology page:
- Search box with dim non-matches (opacity 0.4, shape preserved)
- Toolbar: + Connection (disabled until a site is selected), Refresh,
Expand, Collapse
- Site context menu gains "Add Connection here" that navigates with
?siteId= so the form preselects + locks the Site field
- Form gains "Primary Endpoint" / "Backup Endpoint" h6 subsection
headers matching the SiteForm convention; Failover Retry Count moved
inside the Backup subsection
- URL renamed: /admin/connections (primary) + /admin/data-connections
(legacy secondary @page). Same dual-route treatment on the form
- Nav label: "Data Connections" -> "Connections"
- Adds DataConnectionsPageTests bUnit suite (6 tests)
Single /deployment/topology page replaces /deployment/instances (legacy URL
preserved as a secondary @page directive) and the /admin/areas* CRUD pages.
TreeView with Site → Area → Instance, V1–V7 visual guide (bi-building /
bi-diagram-3 / bi-box), always-visible empty containers, search dim, F2
inline area rename, and right-click context menus per node kind (Add Area,
Move to Area…, lifecycle actions, etc.).
Adds AreaService.MoveAreaAsync with cycle prevention, same-site enforcement,
and name-collision check at the new parent. Instance rename intentionally
out of scope — UniqueName is the site-side actor identity, requires its own
design pass.
Right-click a template now offers "New Derived Template" — opens
TemplateCreate with the parent pre-selected via a new ?parentId query
parameter. Composition rows in the tree drop the trailing
"→ TargetName" muted text; the kind glyph plus the instance name carry
enough meaning, and the composed template is one click away from the
row's right-click menu.
Templates page is now a tree-only browser; editing happens on a dedicated
TemplateEdit page. Drag-drop is replaced by context-menu Move-to-Folder.
TreeView gains Bootstrap Icons (chevron + per-kind glyphs), ancestor guide
lines, defined hover/selected/focus tokens, and Escape-dismisses-menu per
the new Visual Design Guide (V1-V7) in Component-TreeView.md.
Replaces the current /design/templates list view with a Wonderware-style
template toolbox: nested TemplateFolder entity, FolderId on Template,
composition children as inline tree leaves, persistent split-pane with
editor on the right, context menus + drag-drop reorg.
LmxProxy is no longer needed. Moved the entire lmxproxy/ workspace, DCL
adapter files, and related docs to deprecated/. Removed LmxProxy registration
from DataConnectionFactory, project reference from DCL, protocol option from
UI, and cleaned up all requirement docs.
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.
Covers entity model, failover state machine, health reporting,
UI/CLI changes, and deployment flow for optional backup endpoints
with automatic failover after configurable retry count.
LmxFakeProxy is no longer needed now that two real LmxProxy v2 instances
are available for testing. Added remote test infra section to test_infra.md
documenting the windev instances. Removed tagsim (never committed).
Move all CRUD create/edit forms from inline on list pages to dedicated form pages
with back-button navigation and post-save redirect. Add Playwright Docker container
(browser server on port 3000) with 25 passing E2E tests covering login, navigation,
and site CRUD workflows. Add POST /auth/token endpoint for clean JWT retrieval.
Switch site host to WebApplicationBuilder with Kestrel HTTP/2 gRPC server,
add GrpcPort/keepalive config, wire SiteStreamManager as ISiteStreamSubscriber,
expose gRPC ports in docker-compose, add site seed script, update all 10
requirement docs + CLAUDE.md + README.md for the new dual-transport architecture.
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.
The debug view polled every 2s by re-subscribing for full snapshots. Now a
persistent DebugStreamBridgeActor on central subscribes once and receives
incremental Akka stream events from the site, forwarding them to the Blazor
component via callbacks and to the CLI via a new SignalR hub at
/hubs/debug-stream. Adds `debug stream` CLI command with auto-reconnect.
Organize documentation by moving requirements (HighLevelReqs, Component-*,
lmxproxy_protocol) to docs/requirements/ and test infrastructure docs to
docs/test_infra/. Updates all cross-references in README, CLAUDE.md,
infra/README, component docs, and 23 plan files.
Defines a gRPC server implementing the scada.ScadaService proto that bridges
to the existing OPC UA test server. Enables end-to-end testing of
RealLmxProxyClient without a Windows LmxProxy deployment.

- Work packages with acceptance criteria mapped to every requirement
- Split-section ownership verified across phases
- Orphan checks (forward, reverse, negative) all passing
- Codex MCP (gpt-5.4) external verification completed per phase
Total: 7,549 lines across 11 plan documents, ~160 work packages,
~400 requirements traced, ~25 open questions logged for follow-up.
- Replace "custom protocol" placeholder with full LmxProxy details (gRPC transport, SDK API mapping, session management, keep-alive, TLS, batch ops)
- Add bullet-level requirement traceability, design constraint traceability (52 KDD + 6 CD), split-section tracking, and post-generation orphan check to plan framework
- Resolve Q9 (LmxProxy), Q11 (REST test server), Q13 (solo dev), Q14 (self-test), Q15 (Machine Data DB out of scope)
- Set Central UI constraints: Blazor Server + Bootstrap only, no heavy frameworks, custom components, clean corporate design
Stand up local dev infrastructure (OPC UA, LDAP, MS SQL) with Docker Compose,
Python CLI tools for service interaction, and teardown script. Fix GLAuth config
mount, OPC PLC node format, and document actual DN/namespace behavior discovered
during testing. Resolve Q1-Q8,Q10: .NET 10, Akka.NET 1.5.x, monorepo with slnx,
appsettings JWT, Windows Server 2022 site target.
Expand SMTP configuration with OAuth2 Client Credentials support for Microsoft 365,
connection timeout, and max concurrent connections. Single email per send with all
recipients in BCC. Plain text only. Classify SMTP errors: transient (4xx/connection)
to S&F, permanent (5xx) returned to script. No app-level rate limiting.
Define POST /api/{methodName} URL structure with X-API-Key header. Flat JSON
request/response with no envelope wrapper. Add extended type system (Object, List)
for complex API parameters and return values, applied to both Inbound API and
External System Gateway method definitions. Only failures logged; no rate limiting
in this controlled industrial environment.
Replace Windows Integrated Auth with direct LDAP bind (username/password login form).
Add JWT-based sessions with HMAC-SHA256 shared key for load balancer compatibility.
15-minute token refresh re-queries LDAP for current group memberships. 30-minute
configurable idle timeout. LDAP failure: new logins fail, active sessions continue
with current roles until LDAP recovers.
Set 30-second report interval with 60-second absolute timeout for offline detection.
Define error rates as raw counts per interval (reset after each report). Script errors
include all failure types. Automatic online recovery on first received report. Flat
snapshot report structure.
Add keep-oldest split-brain resolver with 15s stable-after duration. Configure both
nodes as seed nodes for symmetric startup. Set moderate failure detection defaults
(2s heartbeat, 10s threshold, ~25s total failover). Document automatic dual-node
recovery from persistent storage with no manual intervention.
