Adds IsInherited/LockedInDerived to the TemplateAlarm entity (mirroring the
attribute/script override model), an EF migration, base-alarm copy-on-derive,
inherited-alarm flattening skip, and LockedInDerived override-rejection validation.
Adds DeploymentStateQuery request/response contracts (Commons), a site-side
handler (SiteRuntime), a CommunicationService query method (Communication), and
reconciliation in DeploymentService: when a prior record is InProgress or
Failed-on-timeout, query the site; if it already holds the target revision hash
mark the record Success without re-sending; on query failure fall through to a
normal deploy (site-side stale-rejection is the safety net).
The Test Run sandbox and Monaco analysis modelled a script API that had
drifted from the site runtime's ScriptGlobals, so real scripts failed to
compile in Test Run. Realign both to the runtime surface
(Instance/Scripts/ExternalSystem/Attributes/Children/Parent) and drop the
duplicate ScriptHost stub so the two cannot diverge again.
- Script calls (Scripts.CallShared, Instance.CallScript, Route.To().Call)
accept an anonymous object instead of a hand-built dictionary, via a
shared ScriptArgs normalizer; existing dictionary calls still compile.
- Test Run can optionally bind to a deployed instance, so Instance/
Attributes/CallScript route to it cross-site; adds site-side
RouteToGetAttributes/RouteToSetAttributes handlers.
- Adds Test Run panels to the API method and template script editors.
- Fixes the TestDatabaseQuery seed script, which queried a table that
never existed.
Also commits unrelated in-progress work already in the tree: the health
monitoring report loop, site streaming changes, and the Admin/Design
data-connection and SMTP page reorganization.
Deleting an instance only undeployed it from the site and set the state
to NotDeployed, leaving an orphan record that could never be removed —
the state-transition matrix rejected delete from NotDeployed.
Delete now removes the instance record entirely (deployment history,
snapshot, attribute/alarm overrides, and connection bindings go with
it), and is permitted from any state.
Triage was painful on the old layout: a lone Site dropdown sat on a sparse
row, errors were truncated mid-sentence with a per-row View/Hide toggle
that on expand pushed an unwrapped <pre> through the table and shoved the
Actions column off-screen, all rows looked the same regardless of age or
attempt count, and OriginInstance — which tells you which instance
produced the failure — wasn't displayed at all even though the data was
on the entity.
This pass:
- Adds a real filter bar: Site, Category, Target system, Origin instance,
Age window, free-text search. Category/Target/Origin/Age/Search filter
the loaded page client-side; Site still drives the server query (and
changing site now auto-queries — one fewer click).
- Replaces the in-table expansion with an Offcanvas detail drawer.
Clicking a row slides in a side panel with full message ID + copy,
category label, origin, attempts, both timestamps in relative + absolute
form, the complete error (pre-wrap, scrollable), and big Retry / Discard
buttons. The table never overflows.
- Stacks Target + Method into one column (target in semibold, method
small/muted below) and surfaces Origin as a code-styled chip in a new
column ("—" muted when null).
- Severity left-border on each row, derived client-side from
AttemptCount/MaxAttempts and age of the last attempt: red when retries
are exhausted and last attempt was in the past hour, amber when
exhausted but stale, muted grey otherwise.
- Mini attempt progress bar under the n/max count, red when fully
exhausted and amber while partial.
- Relative timestamps ("5m ago", "1h ago", "2d ago") with absolute UTC on
hover via the title attribute — applies in both the table and the drawer.
- Bulk select: header checkbox selects the filtered set, per-row
checkboxes. When ≥1 selected, a sticky action strip slides in below the
filter bar offering Retry selected / Discard selected with the usual
confirm dialog. Toast reports per-item success/failure counts.
- Summary line next to the title: "N parked · K target systems · oldest
Xh ago" (and "(showing M of N)" when filters are active).
- ParkedMessageEntry contract extended additively with MaxAttempts,
Category, and OriginInstance so the UI has the data it needs for
severity, the category filter, and the new column.
- Bumped page size from 25 to 50 to better match the dense layout.
CentralHealthAggregator is a per-node hosted singleton, but site health
reports flow through ClusterClient which round-robins each report to one
central node only. The other node's aggregator never saw those reports
and marked sites offline at the 60s threshold — sites constantly flapped
between online and offline on the monitoring page.
On receive, the active CentralCommunicationActor now republishes a
SiteHealthReportReplica wrapper on a DistributedPubSub topic. Both
central nodes subscribe to the topic and process replicas through a
dedicated path that updates the local aggregator without re-broadcasting
(avoids fan-out loops). The aggregator's existing sequence-number
idempotency makes self-delivery a cheap no-op.
DistributedPubSubExtensionProvider is now listed in the HOCON
`akka.extensions` block so the mediator is initialised at cluster
start, eliminating a race where the first Subscribe arrived before the
extension was loaded.
Adds a new HiLo alarm trigger type with four configurable setpoints
(LoLo / Lo / Hi / HiHi). Each setpoint carries an optional priority,
deadband (for hysteresis), and operator message. The site runtime emits
AlarmStateChanged with an AlarmLevel field so consumers can differentiate
warning vs critical bands.
Plumbing:
- new AlarmLevel enum + AlarmStateChanged.Level/Message init properties
- AlarmTriggerEditor (Blazor) gets a HiLo render with severity tinting
- AlarmTriggerConfigCodec extracted from the editor for testability
- sitestream.proto carries level + message over gRPC
- SemanticValidator enforces numeric attribute, setpoint ordering,
non-negative deadband
- on-trigger scripts get an Alarm global (Name/Level/Priority/Message)
so notification routing can branch by severity
- per-instance InstanceAlarmOverride entity + EF migration + flattening
step + CLI commands; HiLo overrides merge setpoint-by-setpoint, binary
types whole-replace
- DebugView shows a Level badge + per-band message tooltip
- App.razor auto-reloads on permanent Blazor circuit failure
- docker/regen-proto.sh automates the proto regen workflow (the linux/arm64
protoc segfault means generated files are checked in for now)
Phase 1 of the design at
docs/plans/2026-05-12-derive-on-compose-design.md.
Additive schema only — no behavior changes. Existing data and code
paths continue to work; subsequent phases will start writing the
new fields.
Template gains:
IsDerived true when this row was auto-created to back
a composition slot
OwnerCompositionId back-ref to the owning TemplateComposition
(plain int, not an EF nav property — managed
by TemplateService for cascade-delete)
TemplateAttribute / TemplateScript each gain:
IsInherited row copied from base and not yet overridden;
changes to the base flow downward
LockedInDerived on a base, blocks derived from overriding;
enforced at the service layer in later phases
EF Core migration AddDerivedTemplateFields adds four columns:
Templates.IsDerived bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
Templates.OwnerCompositionId int NULL
TemplateAttributes.IsInherited bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
TemplateAttributes.LockedInDerived bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
TemplateScripts.IsInherited bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
TemplateScripts.LockedInDerived bit NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
Existing rows get the defaults. Tests across SiteRuntime / TemplateEngine
/ CentralUI suites stay green (129 / 199 / 159).
Next: phase 2 — wire AddCompositionAsync to derive on compose for
new compositions. Old data still flows the direct-reference path
until phase 3's migration script.
Two caveats from the script-scope rollout addressed:
1. ITemplateEngineRepository.GetTemplatesComposingAsync — a scoped
query that returns only the templates referencing a given template
via Compositions, eager-loaded with their Attributes / Scripts /
Compositions. Replaces the GetAllTemplatesAsync + filter pattern
in TemplateEdit so the Monaco metadata fetch doesn't pull the
entire template catalog to find one parent.
2. Multi-parent picker. The previous implementation suppressed Parent
assistance entirely when more than one template composes the open
one. Now TemplateEdit collects every parent into _editorParents
and renders a small `select` above the script editor when there
are >1, letting the user choose which parent's metadata drives
Parent.Attributes / Parent.CallScript completion + diagnostics.
Single-parent templates skip the picker (no UI change). Zero
parents (root template) hide the picker and surface no Parent
assistance.
Browser-verified on the Sensor Module template (composed by both Pump
and Variable Speed Motor): picker shows both options, switching
updates the editor's parent metadata immediately via the existing
GetContext callback.
Test counts unchanged (159 / 199); the new repo method is exercised
end-to-end by the parent-picker browser path.
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.
