Joseph Doherty 91fb2b48dd docs(health): GrpcDependencyHealthCheck has no consumers - keep it, correct SPEC/README (scadaproj#28)
SPEC 2.4 named OtOpcUa and MxGateway as users; neither is (verified against every
app's default branch; MxGateway worker IPC is named pipes, OtOpcUa deliberately
does not gate readiness on gateway channels). Keep the check (removal is a breaking
API change; small, tested building block), mark it as no-current-consumers in SPEC
2.4/6/7, both READMEs, the shared-contract doc and GAPS.

# Health (readiness / liveness / active-node)
Second normalized component under the operability cluster. **Goal: path to shared code** — converge
the three sister projects onto a common three-tier health endpoint convention and a set of shared
probe implementations, proposed as the `ZB.MOM.WW.Health` library set (3 packages), while each
project keeps its own probe registration and orchestrator wiring.
- The one target: [`spec/SPEC.md`](spec/SPEC.md)
- The proposed shared library: [`shared-contract/ZB.MOM.WW.Health.md`](shared-contract/ZB.MOM.WW.Health.md)
- Divergences + backlog: [`GAPS.md`](GAPS.md)
- Current state, per project: [`current-state/`](current-state/)
## Why health is a strong normalization candidate
Both OtOpcUa and ScadaBridge trace their health-check structure to the same "ScadaLink three-tier
pattern" (`HealthEndpoints.cs:13` says so explicitly) but have already diverged in probe logic,
status semantics, response writer, and endpoint registration style. MxAccessGateway has no shared
ancestry here — it has a single hardcoded `/health/live` endpoint with no real probes at all.
The common core (three tiers, database probe, Akka cluster probe, active-node probe) is
re-implemented twice and absent once. Shared probe implementations with configurable policies
close the gap without forcing identical behavior onto projects with legitimately different cluster
semantics.
## Status by project
**Adopted by all four apps at `0.3.0`; probe coverage re-verified 2026-11-09 (scadaproj#11).** Every app
calls `MapZbHealth()` (`/healthz`, `/health/ready`, `/health/active`, canonical JSON). The per-endpoint
coverage matrix, SPEC deviations and remaining gaps are in [`GAPS.md`](GAPS.md); code-verified detail per
app (OtOpcUa, MxAccessGateway, ScadaBridge, HistorianGateway) is in
[`current-state/<project>/CURRENT-STATE.md`](current-state/). The "Why" section above and the bullets
below describe the original 2026-06 design rationale.
## Normalized vs. left per-project
**Normalized (the shared target):**
- Three-tier endpoint convention: `/health/ready` (tag `ready`), `/health/active` (tag `active`),
`/healthz` (bare liveness). Mapped by `app.MapZbHealth()` from `ZB.MOM.WW.Health`.
- Canonical JSON response writer (lifted from `HealthChecks.UI.Client` style; no per-project
writer wiring needed).
- `IActiveNodeGate` seam — generalized from ScadaBridge's `ActiveNodeGate`; wired into `MapZbHealth`
for automatic active-tier response.
- `GrpcDependencyHealthCheck` — reachability probe for a downstream gRPC dependency. Shipped but
**currently has no consumers** (neither OtOpcUa nor MxAccessGateway adopted it; scadaproj#28).
- `AkkaClusterHealthCheck` (in `ZB.MOM.WW.Health.Akka`) with a configurable status policy.
Default = ScadaBridge's three-way policy; `OtOpcUaCompat` preset preserves OtOpcUa's two-way
self-Up-among-members scan.
- `ActiveNodeHealthCheck` (in `ZB.MOM.WW.Health.Akka`) with an optional role filter. Role-less =
ScadaBridge's behavior (Up + cluster leader); role-filtered = OtOpcUa's `AdminRoleLeader`
behavior.
- `DatabaseHealthCheck<TContext>` (in `ZB.MOM.WW.Health.EntityFrameworkCore`) with default
`CanConnectAsync` and an optional `ProbeQuery` delegate.
- `AllowAnonymous` on all three tiers by default (consistent across all three projects today).
**Left per-project (not forced together):**
- Which probes each app registers, their names, and which tags they carry.
- Orchestrator / Traefik wiring (sidecars, route rules, upstreams).
- ScadaBridge's `HealthMonitoring/` distributed aggregation pipeline (`SiteHealthCollector`,
`CentralHealthAggregator`, `HealthReportSender`, etc.) — domain-specific, no shared-library
equivalent.
- MxAccessGateway's `GatewayHealthReply` metadata (`DefaultBackend`, `WorkerProtocolVersion`) —
keep as a bespoke `/info` endpoint.
- The x86 worker process — out of process and out of scope; the gateway-side
no probe observes it directly (worker IPC is named pipes, not gRPC).
## Package structure
`ZB.MOM.WW.Health` ships as three dependency-split packages:
| Package | Contents | Consumers |
|---|---|---|
| `ZB.MOM.WW.Health` | Core tiers, `MapZbHealth`, canonical writer, `IActiveNodeGate`, `GrpcDependencyHealthCheck` (no consumers) | All three |
| `ZB.MOM.WW.Health.Akka` | `AkkaClusterHealthCheck` + status presets, `ActiveNodeHealthCheck` + role filter | OtOpcUa, ScadaBridge |
| `ZB.MOM.WW.Health.EntityFrameworkCore` | `DatabaseHealthCheck<TContext>` + optional probe delegate | OtOpcUa, ScadaBridge |
MxAccessGateway consumes the core package only (no Akka, no EF). OtOpcUa and ScadaBridge consume
all three.
## Component status
**Status: Adopted — library at 0.3.0** ([`../../ZB.MOM.WW.Health/`](../../ZB.MOM.WW.Health/), 3 packages),
pinned by all four apps; coverage re-verified 2026-11-09. Remaining gaps: [`GAPS.md`](GAPS.md).
