14fba2d120 Fix instance TypeDefinition across dependency ModelDesign boundaries (#4355)
# Description

The model source generator crashed with `MODELGEN003` /
`NullReferenceException` whenever a `ModelDesign` instantiated an
`ObjectType` (or `VariableType`) declared in a **dependency** design
file, as soon as that type had children. The sibling of #4332 on the
instance-declaration path: #4335 linked dependency *data types*, but an
*instance* whose `TypeDefinition` lives in another design still crashed
in `NodeStateGenerator` on the type's inherited children.

Root cause: dependency design files load with `validateDictionary:
false`, so `ValidateInstance` / `ValidateType` never ran on them and
their types' children kept `TypeDefinitionNode` / `DataTypeNode` at
`null`. When the target instance merged those children into its
hierarchy (`BuildInstanceHierarchy` re-walks the dependency type's
`Children.Items`), the null references were copied along, and
`GetNodeStateClassName` dereferenced them while building the node state
factory list.

Changes:

- A new best-effort `LinkDependencyInstances` pass in
`ModelDesignValidator` links dependency-design instances the way
`ValidateInstance` / `ValidateType` do for the target model: the
`TypeDefinitionNode` / `DataTypeNode` of the types' children and
standalone instances (recursively), variable `DataType` / `ValueRank`
inheritance from the variable type, `DefaultValue` decoding,
`VariableTypeDesign.DataTypeNode` restrictions, and method arguments —
including creation of the `InputArguments` / `OutputArguments` argument
properties so method children materialise into the target hierarchy
exactly like local ones. Resolution is best effort (unresolvable
references stay `null`) and NodeSet2 dependencies remain excluded,
consistent with `LinkDependencyDataTypes`.
- The pass runs alongside `LinkDependencyDataTypes`: for upstream
dependencies after all of them are loaded and before the target
validates (so the hierarchy merge picks up the links), and for
downstream dependencies after they load.
- `docs/ModelDependencies.md` documents the instance linking.

Tests (all verified to fail with the exact reported NRE stack before the
fix):

- `CrossModelInstanceTypeDefinitionTests` (Core, 4 tests): the issue's
minimal repro end to end; an equivalence test asserting the cross-model
instance emits the **identical node-state factory set** as a locally
declared type (this is the issue's stated expectation, and it drove the
method-argument-property part of the fix); the flipped
upstream/downstream ordering; and validator-level assertions that the
merged hierarchy carries linked `TypeDefinitionNode` / `DataTypeNode`
references, including the data type inherited from a dependency
`VariableType`.
- `CrossModelInstanceTypeDefinitionGeneratorTests` (Roslyn driver, 2
tests): the issue's csproj repro shape — both `AdditionalFiles`
orderings, asserting no diagnostics and that the combined generated
output of both models **compiles** (the instance factories reference the
dependency model's typed state classes).

Verified locally on net10.0: `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` 3800
passed, `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` 141 passed,
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests` 94 passed; 0-warning Release build
of `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core` (all TFMs incl. netstandard2.0);
`dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes` clean.

This removes the last generator blocker for source generating the
instance model of the `Workshop/DataTypes` sample
(OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard-Samples#814): its `ParkingLot` /
`DriverOfTheMonth` are instances of types declared in the other design
file.

romanettandClaude Fable 5 24ba4855e6 Fix [DataType] generator Clone() dropping every inherited field of a derived structure (#4354)
# Description

The `[DataType]` source generator emitted a `Clone()` that created a
fresh instance and copied only the fields declared on the annotated type
itself, so every field inherited from an `IEncodeable` base was silently
dropped. Since the server clones node values while loading an address
space, a derived structure served by a node manager came back out of a
Read with its inherited fields empty, even though encode/decode was
correct.

This PR makes the `[DataType]` path emit the same
`MemberwiseClone`-based shape as the model-based generator:

```csharp
/// <inheritdoc/>
public override object Clone()
{
    return (DerivedStruct)this.MemberwiseClone();
}

/// <inheritdoc/>
public new object MemberwiseClone()
{
    DerivedStruct clone = (DerivedStruct)base.MemberwiseClone();
    // deep copy of the own reference-typed fields
    return clone;
}
```

`Clone()` delegates to a generated `public new object MemberwiseClone()`
that starts from `base.MemberwiseClone()` — a shallow copy of the whole
object, inherited fields included — and then deep copies the type's own
reference-typed fields (encodeables, `DataValue`, `Variant`,
`ExtensionObject`). Derived classes hide `MemberwiseClone` and chain
into the base implementation, so deep-copy semantics compose across the
hierarchy, including across assemblies into model-generated base types
(the `BicycleType` scenario that surfaced this). The two generator paths
now agree.

Because the clone now starts from a full shallow copy
(`base.MemberwiseClone()` for classes, `with { }` for records), the
per-field clone emitter only writes the deep-copy assignments; the
redundant per-field plain copies are gone. This also fixes a latent side
bug in the class path: init-only simple fields were silently dropped by
the fresh-instance clone as well.

Records were already correct (`with { }` carries every field) and are
unchanged in shape.

Tests:

- `GenerateClassCloneUsesMemberwiseClone` /
`GenerateDerivedClassCloneCarriesInheritedState` assert the emitted
shape for root and derived classes.
- `DerivedClassCloneKeepsInheritedFields` runs the exact repro from the
issue through the Roslyn driver, emits the assembly, and executes
`Clone()` at runtime to prove the inherited field survives (verified on
net10.0 and net48).

Verified locally: `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` (3798 passed),
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` (140 passed),
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests` (94 passed), and
`Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` (2161 passed, exercises the regenerated in-tree
`[DataType]` record types). The in-tree `[DataType]` consumers
(Opc.Ua.Client, both GDS common projects) regenerate and build without
warnings.

766c5558e8 Fix structure subtyping across dependency ModelDesign boundaries (#4335)
# Description

The model source generator crashed whenever a `ModelDesign` declared a
structure that subtypes a structure from **another** design file
(`MODELGEN003` with a `NullReferenceException`), and the cross-assembly
`[assembly: ModelDependency]` flow failed even earlier with `The
BaseType reference ... is not the expected type: DataTypeDesign`.
Structure inheritance across model boundaries — the primary use case of
companion-spec layering — could not be source-generated at all.

Three root causes, all in the dependency-loading path of the validator:

1. **Dependency design files were never linked.** They load with
`validateDictionary: false`, so their `DataTypeDesign`s kept
`BasicDataType` at the enum default (`Boolean`) and their fields'
`DataTypeNode` stayed `null`. `BinarySchemaGenerator`'s inherited-field
merge then dereferenced the null `DataTypeNode`, and
`XmlSchemaGenerator` / `DataTypeGenerator` silently emitted `xs:boolean`
/ `bool` from the default classification.
2. **Dependencies that import the target crashed at load.** Each
generation group receives every design file of the compilation as a
dependency, including downstream models that import the group's target —
those loaded *before* the target they import and failed resolving their
`BaseType`. This produced the confusing
`AdditionalFiles`-order-dependent failure modes.
3. **The payload flow never reached ModelDesign targets.**
`ModelCompilation` supplied `referencedDependencies` only to the
NodeSet2 pass, never to the design-file pass, and payload-materialised
data types lacked the classification and field links needed to serve as
base types of local structures.

Changes:

- `ModelDesignValidator.ValidateModel` loads dependencies in two phases
around the target: upstream models first (topological, referenced models
before their referrers), then the target, then models that import the
target.
- A new `LinkDependencyDataTypes` pass classifies dependency data types
(`IsStructure` / `IsEnumeration` / `BasicDataType`) and resolves field
`DataTypeNode` / `Parent` best effort. It runs for payload-imported
declarations and upstream design-file dependencies before target
validation, and for downstream dependencies after they load. NodeSet2
dependencies are excluded — `NodeSetToModelDesign` already links and
classifies them with its own semantics.
- Payloads for models that are backed by a design file in the
compilation are skipped — the explicit file is authoritative
(previously, importing both crashed with duplicate symbolic ids).
- Payload-materialised data types honor the payload's `IsEnumeration`
flag.
- The design-file `GenerateCode` pass now receives the referenced
assemblies' dependency payloads (`ModelCompilation` + new optional
`referencedDependencies` parameter).
- `docs/ModelDependencies.md` updated accordingly.

Tests (all verified to fail with the exact reported errors before the
fix):

- `CrossModelStructureSubtypeTests` (Core, 6 tests): the issue's minimal
repro end to end — asserting the emitted `.bsd` carries inherited fields
with correct types and `SourceType`, the `.xsd` extends the dependency
structure (not `xs:boolean`), and the generated C# derives correctly —
plus the reversed target/dependency order, both payload flows at
generation and validator level, and a three-level chain (target →
payload structure → design-file structure).
- `CrossModelStructureSubtypeGeneratorTests` (Roslyn driver, 3 tests):
both `AdditionalFiles` orderings compiling the generated output, and the
full cross-assembly flow (producer assembly generated from the upstream
design; consumer resolves the base structure from the reference's
payload without re-emitting it).

Verified locally on net10.0: `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` 3786
passed, `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` 135 passed,
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests` 94 passed; 0-warning Release
builds of `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core` (all TFMs incl.
netstandard2.0), both Roslyn generator variants, Stack and Tester.

This unblocks the `[NodeManager]` migration of the DataTypes workshop
sample (OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard-Samples#757).

e61ad4b306 Fully support sub-state machines in the fluent state-machine builder (#4322)
# Description

Part 16 §B.3 places `HasSubStateMachine` on the parent **state** node,
but the fluent builder attached it to the state-machine **root** because
`FluentFiniteStateMachineState` never materialized state nodes at all.
Investigating #3821 showed the gap was wider than the reference
placement:

1. **No state nodes existed.** The NodeId written into `CurrentState/Id`
— `new NodeId(stateId, ElementNamespaceIndex)` — was **dangling**: no
node with that id was in the address space.
2. **`AvailableStates` was never populated**, so
`GetAvailableStatesAsync` returned empty against a fluent-built server.
3. **The whole client discovery chain was therefore dead.**
`ObserveEffectiveStateAsync` enumerates `AvailableStates` and browses
`HasSubStateMachine` from each state node — it found nothing. The client
side was already spec-correct; only the server deviated.
4. **`HasSubStateMachine` is non-hierarchical** (a subtype of
`NonHierarchicalReferences`, `i=32`). Using it as the sub-SM's
`BaseInstanceState.ReferenceTypeId` left the sub-SM unreachable from a
hierarchical browse of the machine.

## What changed

**Element nodes are materialized.** Definition-mode machines now create
one `StateType` node per declared state and one `TransitionType` node
per declared transition — each a `HasComponent` child carrying
`StateNumber` / `TransitionNumber`, with the §B.4 `FromState` /
`ToState` / `HasEffect` references and `HasCause` added by `WithCause`.
`AvailableStates`, `AvailableTransitions` and `LastTransition` are
populated, so `CurrentState/Id` and `LastTransition/Id` resolve to real,
browsable nodes. NodeIds are per-instance, so several machines built
from one definition coexist.

**`HasSubStateMachine` moved to the state node**, with the inverse
`SubStateMachineOf`, and the sub-SM is attached as a `HasComponent`
child (fixing 4).

**Core gains element-id mapping hooks.** `GetCurrentStateId` /
`UpdateStateVariable` / `UpdateTransitionVariable` hard-coded the
numeric form and were non-virtual, so a subclass could not redirect
them. They now route through `public virtual` `GetStateNodeId` /
`GetStateId` / `GetTransitionNodeId` / `GetTransitionId`, whose defaults
reproduce the previous `(elementId, ElementNamespaceIndex)` convention
**exactly** — every stack-shipped and generator-emitted machine is
unaffected, and there is a regression test asserting that.

**Generated machines report their model namespace.** The generator now
emits an `ElementNamespaceUri` override on `FiniteStateMachineType`
subtypes, taken from the nearest type that actually *declares* state
children — a subtype that only adds behaviour inherits its elements, and
their namespace, from its base.

**Ordering and validation fixes.** `WithSubStateMachine` and
`WithInitialState` are now order-independent (previously, attaching a
sub-SM before setting the initial state left the child suspended until
the parent left and re-entered the state — silently).
`WithSubStateMachine` validates `parentStateId`, and the builder rejects
duplicate element browse names, since element NodeIds are now derived
from them.

## A defect this surfaced

Code that assembles nodes with the generated `CreateInstanceOf<Type>`
factories never calls `NodeState.CreateAsPredefinedNode`, so
`OnBeforeCreate` / `OnAfterCreate` are skipped for the entire subtree —
and `OnAfterCreate` is the only place a state machine resolves its
element namespace. It is also where `ConditionState` binds its `Enable`
/ `Disable` / `AddComment` handlers and `AlarmConditionState` binds the
shelving methods, so the impact is broader than state machines.

This PR fixes only the two call sites it depends on — DI's
`SoftwareUpdateFacetWiring` and Robotics' `RoboticsOperationBuilder`.
**The repository-wide audit is deliberately left out of scope and
tracked in #4320** (24 files call these factories; none completed the
lifecycle).

The Robotics regression had no test coverage at all, so an assertion on
`CurrentState/Id` was added and verified to fail without the fix.

## Breaking changes

- Sub-state machines are **no longer browsable from the state-machine
root**. Callers passing a machine's `ObjectId` to
`GetSubStateMachineAsync` must pass a state NodeId instead — from
`GetAvailableStatesAsync` or a snapshot's `CurrentStateId`.
- `CurrentState/Id` for fluent machines changes from the numeric form to
the materialized node's id. Code reading a numeric id out of it should
call `FiniteStateMachineState.GetStateId` rather than parsing the
identifier.
- Generated machines qualify `CurrentState/Id` / `LastTransition/Id`
with their companion-spec namespace instead of the OPC UA one.

Documented in `docs/WhatsNewIn2.0.md` and `docs/StateMachines.md`.

## Notes for reviewers

- Adding `virtual` to the `FiniteStateMachineState` members is a binary
(not source) breaking change — assumed acceptable on the 2.0 line, but
worth confirming against the compatibility policy.
- Address-space cost is one node plus one property per declared state
and transition, per machine instance; called out in the docs for servers
instantiating many machines.
- `AvailableTransitions` is modelled as a `HasComponent`
`BaseDataVariable` (matching the standard NodeSet and what the client's
browse path expects), not a Property.

romanettandClaude Fable 5 41db5aca60 Fluent: publish Configure-created nodes' references on foreign-manager nodes (Objects folder placement) (#4331)
# Description

A node created inside the fluent `Configure` hook (source-generated
`[NodeManager]` partial, or the hosting `AddNodeManager(uri, build)`
route) had no way to appear below the Objects folder — or below any node
owned by another node manager.
`AsyncCustomNodeManager.AddReverseReferencesAsync` mirrors inverse
references into the `externalReferences` dictionary **before** the
`Configure` partials run, and the fluent surface never sees the
dictionary, so a configure-created node with an inverse `Organizes`
reference to `ObjectsFolder` existed and simulated but never showed up
under Objects.

This implements the three coordinated pieces proposed in #4329, plus the
companion namespace gap:

**1. Idempotent mirroring pass** (independently worthwhile hardening)
- `AddExternalReference` in `AsyncCustomNodeManager` and
`CustomNodeManager2` now has if-missing semantics (linear scan of the
per-source list).
- `TypeTable.AddEncoding` no longer appends a duplicate encoding id;
re-registering the same encoding is a succeeding no-op.
(`AddRootNotifierAsync` and the node-side `AddReferenceIfMissing` branch
were already idempotent.)

**2. Re-run the pass after `Configure`**
- New protected
`FluentNodeManagerBase.CompleteConfigureAsync(externalReferences, ct)`
wraps `AddReverseReferencesAsync` so hand-written managers using
`CreateFluentBuilder` benefit too.
- The generator-emitted `CreateAddressSpaceAsync` and the hosting
`FluentNodeManager` invoke it once between the `Configure` callbacks and
`Seal()`. Timing is safe: the master distributes `externalReferences`
only after every manager's `CreateAddressSpaceAsync` returns. Side
benefit: inverse `HasNotifier` references on configure-created event
sources get root-notifier registration for free.
- The hosting `FluentNodeManager`'s hand-rolled `externalReferences`
workaround for its root folder is deleted — the root's inverse
`Organizes` reference now flows through the shared pass (mirrored
exactly once, covered by a test).

**3. Discoverable fluent sugar**
- `OrganizedBy(parentId)` / `UnderObjectsFolder()` on `INodeBuilder`
write the inverse `Organizes` reference; with piece 2, placement is just
"write the inverse reference".
- A parentless `CreateInstance<TState>` on `INodeManagerBuilder` takes a
constructor-style factory (`p => new BoilerState(p)`, keeping the
surface reflection-free and AOT-safe), materializes the subtree from the
type model via `NodeState.Create`, rebases all NodeIds through the
manager's `INodeIdFactory`
(`AssignInstanceNodeId`/`AssignInstanceChildNodeIds` — the same pair the
generated factories use, so declaration-id children cannot collide with
the type model), and registers via `AddPredefinedNodeSynchronously`. The
Boiler #2 shape becomes fully fluent:

```csharp
builder.CreateInstance(
        new QualifiedName("Boiler #2", NamespaceIndexes[1]),
        p => new BoilerState(p))
    .Configure(n => n.UnderObjectsFolder());
```

**Companion gap, same theme:** `[NodeManager]` grows
`AdditionalNamespaceUris`, flowing through attribute discovery → binding
→ generator so the generated constructor reports a second (instance)
namespace at construction and the generated factory advertises it in
`NamespacesUris` — today `SetNamespaces` after construction is not
enough because `MasterNodeManager` builds its namespace routing from
what the manager reported when it was built.

**Scope boundary** (as discussed in the issue): startup-time
configuration only; for nodes created after startup the correct
primitive remains `IMasterNodeManager.AddReferencesAsync`.

**Reviewer notes**
- The generated-code change was validated against the real pipeline: a
forced fresh compile of `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (whose CoverageNodeSet
managers are `[NodeManager]`-generated) emits `await
CompleteConfigureAsync(externalReferences, cancellationToken)` between
`Configure` and `Seal()` and compiles against the real base class.
- The distribution consumer (`AddReferencesAsync`) already used
`AddReferenceIfMissing`, so the whole chain is defense-in-depth
idempotent.
- 15 new tests: double-run idempotence, second-pass pickup of
late-registered nodes, the new reference sugar, root-instance creation
incl. child-id rebasing and reference remapping, hosting end-to-end
Objects-folder placement, emitted-sequence and `AdditionalNamespaceUris`
generator tests, and a full Roslyn-pipeline attribute test. Docs updated
in `docs/NodeManagers.md` (new "Creating nodes under other managers'
nodes" section, attribute docs, fluent-surface sections).
- Verified locally: all touched projects build with 0 warnings; full
`Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (4,725 passed / 0 failed / 5 skipped, net9.0),
`TypeTableTests` (113), `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` (41),
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` (132), and the Quickstarts.Servers
sample all pass.

Marc SchierandCopilot 2b44fcad22 Robot intent: a task-level command API with a Part 10 lifecycle (#4165)
# Description

Implement the draft **OPC UA — Robot Intent** companion model end to
end: task-level motion verbs, a Part 10 lifecycle, a server hosting
surface, a client, two samples and a live integration suite. It replaces
the opt-in convention API merged in #4127 with an implementation
generated from a companion information model.

## Why

OPC 40010-1 *Robotics* describes robot **topology** in detail and
defines **no motion verbs at all** — its entire actuation surface is
`Start`, `Stop` and loading a named program. A conformant client can
discover everything about a robot's construction and cannot ask it to
move anywhere. #4127 filled that gap with ten verbs in an
application-owned namespace, resolved by BrowseName, and the file said
what it was: *"opt-in, explicitly non-normative industrial operation
conventions"*.

That contribution established a **vocabulary**. It established no
**lifecycle**, and the lifecycle is the harder half.

A motion takes seconds; a pick takes a minute. OPC 10000-4 §5.12.2
discards a method result when the Session ends *"independent of the task
actually performed at the Server"* — so a synchronous motion method does
not merely time out, it **loses the outcome of work that has already
physically happened**. OPC 10000-10 §4.1 gives the OPC Foundation's own
resolution: a Method performs a calculation, a **Program** runs a batch
process or a machine tool part program.

So `SubmitIntent` returns as soon as the intent is *admitted*, and what
it returns is a NodeId — an `IntentOperationState` (a Part 10 program
instance) the client subscribes to for progress and reads for the
result.

## What changed

**Model and shared code** — `Opc.Ua.RobotIntent.NodeSet2.xml` is
source-generated in `Opc.Ua.Robotics`, so the enums, the polymorphic
intent structures, `IntentOperationState : ProgramStateMachineState`,
the method states and the typed clients derive from the model rather
than being hand-written. Its only `RequiredModel` is the base UA
namespace, so a server can adopt it without OPC 40010 or DI. `PoseMath`
implements the specification's Annex C conversion between its unit
quaternion and the core `ThreeDFrame` — including the `asin` clamp that
stops a pole orientation becoming a domain error, and the
non-negative-`w` representative that makes two servers agree on four
numbers. `FrameTree` composes transforms along the frame tree.

**Verbs are a DataType hierarchy, not one Method each.** A single
submission and a mission step are then the same shape, and a new intent
is a subtype rather than a new method — which is what
`AddOperation<TRequest,TResponse>` was working around.

**Server** — `IntentControllerHost` owns admission in the
specification's order, the queue with PLCopen buffer modes, blending,
cancellation *with the server's right to refuse*, missions with a
committed base and a revisable horizon plus an IEC 61131-3 step graph,
safety-aware refusals, real-time channel brokerage, and the capability
declaration. All thirteen Methods are wired; command authority and
channel leases are released when the holding Session closes; every
client-supplied NodeId is validated against the controller being
commanded (clause 11.3). `RobotIntentNodeManager`, the fluent
`IIntentControllerBuilder` and `AddRobotIntent`/`ConfigureRobotIntent`
make it reachable, and `RobotIntentFacetCalculator` computes which of
the specification's facets an instance actually satisfies.

**Client** — `RobotIntentClient` discovers
`Server/RobotIntent/Controllers` and reads what a robot accepts;
`IntentOperationHandle` subscribes and completes on a terminal state,
recovering the result after a reconnect because clause 6.7 promises it
survives; `CommandAuthorityLease` and `RealTimeChannelLease` manage the
two exclusive resources; fluent builders cover every intent and mission.

**Samples** — all robotics samples move under `samples/Robotics/`.
`IntentEnabledRobot` is one UR5e-style offset-wrist arm on a bench,
declared completely enough to show what a conformant server publishes,
with a simulated safety source so the clause 10.4 refusals are
demonstrable. `IntentViewerClient` turns a **click on a target prim in
the OpenUSD viewport** into an intent and watches the arm execute it; it
also runs headless, which is how CI exercises it.

**Intents execute serially**, which satisfies every `BlockingMode`
constraint by construction: the specification forbids beginning a
`Single` or `Hard` intent while another executes and merely *permits*
`None` and `Soft` to overlap.

The convention API (`RoboticsOperationConventions`,
`RoboticsOperationsBuilders`, `RoboticsOperationsClient`) is removed.

### On safety — what this deliberately does *not* claim

The interface is **non-safety-rated**, and that is a property of the
technology rather than a scoping choice. OPC 10000-15 carries cyclic
safety data from a SafetyProvider to a SafetyConsumer; the consumer's
`RequestSPDU` holds an identifier, a monitoring number and one octet of
explicitly **non-safety** flags, so a caller has no channel through
which to supply safety-rated arguments. Every safety fieldbus
(PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, FSoE, openSAFETY) expresses a safety command as
a **continuously asserted cyclic signal**, because the integrity
argument rests on the fail-safe state that follows when assertion
*stops* — and a Method call has no defined behaviour when it stops being
called.

What the host does instead is **observe and refuse**:
`UpdateSafetyState` is how the application reports what the safety
system is enforcing, and admission then refuses on the same values a
client can read, so a refusal is explainable from the address space
rather than from Server-internal state. It may never *instruct* the
safety system, and no Method here commands a safe motion function,
changes an operational mode or clears a stop.

## Defects this found in the specification, fixed upstream

Implementing a specification is the only way to find out whether it can
be implemented. Seven defects went back to
[marcschier/opcua-drafts#47](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/pull/47)
rather than being worked around here:

- **Refusal was unobservable.** Clause 6.2 orders six distinct refusals
and clause 5.8 calls the failure set "small and diagnosable on purpose"
— but `SubmitIntent` returned only `IntentId` and `Operation`, so a
client could see *that* something was refused and never *which*. It now
returns `Accepted`, `Failure` and `Message`, and clause 6.2 states that
a refusal returns `Good` rather than substituting a Bad `StatusCode`.
- **The Part 10 promotion was illegal.**
`IntentOperationType.ProgramDiagnostic` was declared as a Property of
`PropertyType`; OPC 10000-10 declares it a Variable of
`ProgramDiagnostic2Type` reached by `HasComponent`. The declaration
added a *second* member beside the inherited one instead of promoting it
— which is precisely why an earlier version of this branch had deleted
it. Correcting the TypeDefinition made it generate cleanly with **no
change to the curated Core**.
- **Clause 9 said nothing about the Method surface.** A server could
declare `MissionsSupported` true and omit `SubmitMission` entirely,
because the mission and channel Methods are Optional. This
implementation did exactly that until an integration test caught it. A
fourth honesty rule and a table now fix which Methods each declaration
implies.
- **Conformance was not machine-readable, and two implementations
disagreed.** Clause 12 defined conformance in terms of facets and gave a
Server nowhere to publish which ones it satisfied, so every client had
to re-derive Table 12.2 from the address space. This repository proved
why that fails: the server''s `RobotIntentFacetCalculator` and the
client''s `RobotIntentRules.DeriveFacets` each implemented clause 12.2
independently and **disagreed on essentially every row** — the client''s
`Blending` was `BlendingSupported` alone where the server also requires
all four blending buffer modes, its `QueuedIntents` was `MaxQueueDepth >
0` where the server also requires `Buffered`. A client and server from
the same release answered "does this controller conform?" differently,
and both were reading the specification correctly, because several rows
are behavioural and no amount of browsing settles them.
`IntentCapabilitiesType` now carries **`SupportedFacets`**, exactly as
OPC 10000-5 does with `ServerCapabilitiesType.ServerProfileArray`,
RI-Base requires it, and clause 12.2 separates structural requirements a
Server shall meet before listing a facet from attested ones governed by
clause 9.
- `WaitIntentDataType.Signal` was unbounded where clause 11.3 has to
check it; §11.3 gained a table fixing the expected type of every
NodeId-valued member; §5.7.0 gave `Ready`/`ActiveIntent`/`ActiveMission`
normative meaning; §6.9 bounded `RequestedLease`; §6.5 and §6.4 now say
what a server that cannot differentiate `StopMode` must do, and which
stop a superseded intent gets.

## Bugs the tests and reviews caught

Each of these would have been silent in the field:

- **The execution engine was never wired into the public API.**
`IntentControllerBuilder.RegisterAsync` built the address space and
never started an `IntentControllerHost`, so through the documented
`AddRobotIntent` → `ConfigureRobotIntent` path **every Method returned
`BadNotImplemented`** and the registered `IIntentExecutor` was never
resolved. A browsable address space is not a working robot interface,
and only a live integration test showed the difference.
- **NodeId scoping failed open on an empty index.** A controller
advertising `CallProgramIntentDataType` with no published `ProgramType`
accepted an *arbitrary* NodeId as `CallProgram.Program` — and
`CallProgram` runs code the server holds.
- **Blending completed the predecessor at submission time** and
abandoned its motion, telling the client it succeeded and publishing an
all-zero pose at the origin as a genuine `AchievedPose`.
- **Mission base immutability compared only identifiers**, so a client
could keep the ids and swap the *motion* of an already-committed step.
- **`FinalResultData/Result` was never registered** with the node
manager: Browse showed it, Read returned `BadNodeIdUnknown` — so clause
6.7's promise to a Part 10 client did not hold.
- `DisposeAsync` disposed primitives out from under in-flight executor
code; re-using a terminated `IntentId` destroyed the retained result and
duplicated a NodeId; neither side registered the Robot Intent
encodeables, so `Pose3DDataType` did not decode; host startup was hooked
to a task that ran in only one hosting shape.
- The result was published **after** the state went terminal;
capabilities were resolved against a stale namespace table; an empty
`ContentFilter` arrives as an empty element array rather than a null
filter, so testing only for null made every unconditional mission
transition silently untaken — a mission would run its first step and
stop.

### Found by a later test-quality audit, after the above was written

An audit of the test suite itself found five tests whose **names**
asserted a normative requirement while their **code** asserted something
weaker or nothing at all. The worst **fabricated the answer it
checked**: a helper caught a decode failure and invented "5 supported
intents, 6 axes, all facets true", so six capability-honesty assertions
across four tests could pass while reading nothing from the server. The
fallback is gone and the suite passes with honest reads.

Chasing the facet gaps it reported led to the clause 12 defect above.
Two further defects followed from completing that work:

- **`RI-Interop-40010` was never computed**, and the code documented the
omission as impossible to fix "because the calculator receives only a
Robot Intent controller, not the linked OPC 40010 model". That was
wrong: Annex B's structural requirement is an **inverse**
`HasIntentController` reference, reachable from `IntentControllerState`
— and the integration suite was already browsing exactly that. A server
implementing Annex B could not claim Annex B.
- **The published claim could go stale.** `SupportedFacets` was a
snapshot taken during `RegisterAsync`, so a reference attached
afterwards left it wrong. It is now bound through `BindRead` and
recomputed on read, so the claim tracks the address space by
construction rather than by discipline — which matters for anyone
bolting Robot Intent onto an existing OPC 40010 node manager, where the
attach ordering is often not theirs to choose.

Two tests that **could not fail** were also replaced: one asserted
`AccessLevel` equals `CurrentRead` to pin a read-only marking, but
`BaseVariableState` initialises every variable to exactly that, so
deleting the marking left it green; it is now a write expecting
`BadNotWritable`, including a real OPC UA `Write` service call over a
live session.

Finally, a build break that a plain build hides: `RoboticsAotTests` used
`out string?` in a project declaring `<Nullable>disable</Nullable>`.
Building the project **without** `-f` suppresses `CS8632` through
`NoWarn=nullable` and succeeds; building it **with** `-f net10.0`
resolves `NoWarn` differently, `CS8632` fires, and
`TreatWarningsAsErrors` makes it an error. CI builds per-TFM, so this
would have failed there while passing every local build to that point.

## Testing and coverage

| | |
|---|---|
| `dotnet build UA.slnx -t:Rebuild` | **0 errors, 2 warnings** — both
pre-existing `CA1861` in `tests/Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests`, a file this PR does
not touch |
| **Whole `UA.slnx` test suite, net10.0** | **50 of 52 assemblies fully
green** (measured at `40d9cf213`, before the `master` merge; the other
two are explained below) |
| `Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests` | **467** net10.0, **447** net48 |
| `Opc.Ua.Robotics.Intent.Tests` (live client <-> server) | **20** on
net10.0 and net48, run repeatedly |
| `Opc.Ua.OpenUsd.Tests` | **904** after merging `master` (664 before;
the rest arrive with #4160 / #4162 / #4180) |
| `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` | **121/121** |
| `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests` (regression from the sample move) | **364/365**, one
pre-existing skip |
| **Changed-line coverage** | **90.7 %**, no file below 80 % —
comfortably above the enforced band, which after #4158 applies only to
patches larger than 100 changed lines |

The two non-green assemblies are **not** caused by this branch. Rather
than assert that, I ran the same selections at the merge-base
`ae241b662` on the same machine:

-
`ServiceCallReassemblerTests.PrivateRequestSummaryFormatsKnownRequestKinds`
expects `12.5` and gets `12,5` — a culture-sensitive assertion failing
on a European locale. Fails 4/4 on **both** commits.
-
`CertRotationLiveTests.L2Cert2RotateCertificateDuringServerRestartRecoversSharedChannelAsync`
fails on a teardown count. Fails 4/4 on **both** commits.
- A third failure seen once, AOT `FindServersAsync` with
`BadSecureChannelClosed`, did not reproduce: 4/4 on retest and 121/121
in the final run. Environmental.

Two things are worth calling out because they would otherwise be
invisible:

- `tools/**` is **not** in the `coverage-thresholds.json` ignore list,
and no test project referenced the OpenUSD tools assemblies — so their
changed lines counted as uncovered and the real patch figure was 75 %,
exactly the blocking threshold. Rather than widening the ignore list,
the pure decisions in the viewport host (pointer-to-physical-pixel
conversion, `RenderPickRequest` construction, stale-retry, backend
discovery, pick-mode selection) were separated from the Avalonia/native
shell and tested headless against a fake picking backend.
- `dotnet build UA.slnx` **hides warnings on unchanged projects**; only
`-t:Rebuild` surfaces them. That is how a `CA2263` introduced by a net48
portability fix survived several "zero warning" builds.

The multi-target requirement earned its keep repeatedly: it caught a
default interface implementation, `ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull`,
`string.Create` with an interpolated handler,
`ValueTask.FromResult`/`CompletedTask`, `Task.WaitAsync`, generic
`Enum.GetValues` and generic `Enum.IsDefined`, and a non-generic
`TaskCompletionSource` — none of which the net10.0 build complained
about. A net10.0-**only** hang in the simulated executor and two
load-sensitive flaky tests were also found and fixed at the cause.

### Merged with `master`

`master` (through `e73e71184`) is merged in as `08205d81d`. Four
conflicts, all where the two branches touched the same robot and OpenUSD
surfaces, and none resolved by dropping a side:

- #4162 added six files to `samples/MinimalRobotServer/` while this
branch moved that directory to `samples/Robotics/MinimalRobotServer/`.
They are kept at the moved path, and `UA.slnx` takes the union of both
sides' new projects.
- #4160 replaced `object` with a `UsdValue` union and rewrote `Flatten`;
this branch had reformatted the same method and fixed a path in its doc
comment. Git produced a hybrid that did not compile. The resolution
keeps `master`'s `UsdValue` arm and `Flatten(UsdValue)` overload in this
branch's block-bodied form, with the path fix retained.
- `master` inserted `FindStageCamera` directly before two methods this
branch had relocated, so the merge duplicated `WriteStageUsda` and
`GetPrivateStateRoot`. Only `FindStageCamera` is genuinely new —
`master`'s diff shows the other two as unmodified context — so the
duplicates are dropped and this branch's `internal` versions kept,
including the `GetPrivateStateRoot(string?)` overload the connector
tests use to stay out of the real user profile.
- `master` moved the OpenUSD stack to `0.4.0-alpha`; this branch pins
`OpenUsd.Rendering` in the test project so the renderer-pick tests can
reach the picking backend. Left at `0.1.0-alpha` that pin is below what
the viewer now resolves transitively, which is `CS1705`. The pin follows
`master`.

CI was green on `baaf35e9` with **190 checks passing and none failing**,
across every build leg (net472 / net48 / netstandard2.0 / netstandard2.1
/ net8.0 / net9.0 / net10.0, Debug and Release) and the full test matrix
on Windows and Linux. Since then `master` has been merged twice more and
two CI-stability fixes landed (see below), so the current head is
re-running. Locally, `dotnet build UA.slnx -t:Rebuild` gives **0
errors** and the 2 pre-existing `CA1861` warnings; Robotics **467**
net10.0 / **447** net48, Robot Intent **20** on both, OpenUSD **904**,
AOT **121/121**, source generation **3771**.

### Review round

Five reviewers over disjoint areas found defects worth calling out, all
fixed in `3ffec2c1`:

- **A refused mission step was reported `Succeeded`.** The advance path
returned the same `false` for "steps exhausted" and "step refused", so a
protective stop between steps told a supervisory system the mission had
completed while the robot stood halted with work unexecuted.
- **Three attacker-controlled NodeIds reached the executor unvalidated**
— `Pick.Tool`, `Place.Tool`, `ToolChange.DockStation`. `DockStation`
drives a physical tool-exchange motion to a location the server never
authorised. The replacement test enumerates NodeId members by reflection
so the next one added cannot be missed.
- **A lock-order inversion that loses a stop.** `CanCancel` and the
mission condition evaluator ran under the host lock while the executor's
own thread re-entered it via `ReportBlendBegin`.
- **A non-terminal executor outcome killed the pump** from outside the
`try/catch` that exists because the executor is untrusted — `Ready`
stayed true and submissions kept being accepted while nothing moved.
- **`Pause` published `Suspended` while the robot kept moving.** Now
queue-only and honest about it; the specification gained the matching
rule ([opcua-drafts
`357a558`](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/pull/47)).
- **`RI-RealTimeChannel` and `RI-Safety` were false claims** — granted
on an empty folder with no methods, and on the mere presence of a
Mandatory node.
- **The Part 10 promotions never promoted.** Namespace-1 BrowseNames
declared second members beside the inherited ones; the conformance test
could not see it because its lookup stripped the prefix. Fixed upstream
and regenerated.
- **Renderer picking never worked.** The reflective probe bound a
renderer that is not a picking backend and throws off its owner thread.
It now binds only `IRenderPickingBackend`, falls back immediately and
loudly, and the docs say plainly that renderer picking is unavailable
with this package version.
- **The client lost command authority the instant it gained it** —
monitored items report the current value first, and the lease treated
every notification as a loss.

### CI stability fixes for master-side failures

The CI split in #4158 turned on legs that had never run, and two of the
failures they exposed were real bugs on `master` rather than anything
this branch introduced. Both are fixed here because they were blocking
every branch:

- **ECC key generation was broken on macOS.** `ExportExplicitParameters`
throws `PlatformNotSupportedException` there — Apple's
SecurityTransforms supports named curves only — and it was called for
exactly one value, the curve order `n`. The four curves OPC 10000-12
admits have published orders, so those are carried directly, with
`CurveOrderTableMatchesThePlatform` checking each against the platform's
own exported order wherever export works, so the constants cannot
silently drift. This accounts for the two ECC failures in
`test-macOS-latest-Server`.
- **The certificate-leak detector raced asynchronous disposal.** It
polled a fixed budget and reported whatever it saw, which cannot
distinguish a genuine leak (count steady) from a suite still draining
fire-and-forget disposals (count falling) — on a loaded agent that
produced `Certificate leak detected: 2 instance(s)` with every test
passing. It now waits for the count to **settle**, so a real leak is
reported sooner than before while a slow drain gets as long as it keeps
progressing. Shared by every suite that asserts no certificate leaks.

The remaining macOS failures on `master` (`Gds`, `Tools`,
`Redundancy.Samples`, `aot-macos`) have different root causes, are not
reproducible without a macOS host, and are **not** addressed here.

### Merged with `master` again

`master` through `416d619c4` (#4158, the CI matrix split and graduated
coverage bands) is merged in as `08ae4528`. One conflict, in
`docs/DeveloperGuide.md`, where both sides had deliberately rewritten
the coverage-gate section:

- `master`'s rewrite is kept in full — graduated `patch.bands`, Codecov
being informational-only, and where the numbers surface per CI system.
- This branch's paragraph about the `ignore` globs is kept too, re-sited
ahead of those subsections. I re-checked it against the merged
`coverage-thresholds.json` rather than assuming it still held: the list
is still `tests/**`, `samples/**`, `obj`, `bin`, `*.g.cs`, with
**`tools/**` absent** — so the warning that anything under `tools/` is
measured like product code, and that an assembly no test project
references contributes changed lines counted as *uncovered*, is still
accurate and worth keeping.
- `master`'s "reproduce a coverage failure locally" line supersedes this
branch's near-identical one, so only `master`'s survives.

Post-merge: `dotnet build UA.slnx -t:Rebuild` **0 errors**, 2
pre-existing `CA1861`; Robotics **467** net10.0 / **447** net48; Robot
Intent **20** on both.

### Getting CI green

The pipeline had never actually run on this branch until now (it was
waiting on the fork-PR approval gate), so the first run surfaced four
real problems, each fixed at source:

- **Seven build legs failed** because `IntentEnabledRobot` pins
`net10.0` for the OpenUSD payload but never opted into
`RestrictForLegacyTfm`. On the legacy legs the libraries build as
net472/net48, where `Opc.Ua.Types` exposes the `System.Threading.Lock`
polyfill publicly, and that collides with the sample's own net10.0 BCL
(`CS0433`). `Opc.Ua.OpenUsd.Connector.Viewer` was already using the
opt-out for the same reason.
- **A Linux-only test failure** turned out to be a real defect, not a
platform quirk: `SetPose` published the *commanded* interpolated pose
beside joint frames derived from the *solved* joints, so the two
disagreed by the inverse-kinematics residual — about 8 mm, constant
after any real motion. That is the lying-digital-twin defect one level
deeper than the per-step IK fix reached. `SetPose` now derives both from
the joint angles.
- **Three source-generator tests** asserted the old emitted shape. The
clause 6.2 Null-Variant fix was implemented in
`ObjectTypeProxyGenerator` so every generated proxy benefits, which
changed that shape; the tests are updated and strengthened to pin the
`IsNull` branch as well.
- **A CI-only timeout** in the simulated arm drain: the executor runs on
a manual clock so the tests do not depend on machine speed, but the
drain guarded itself with a wall-clock deadline, which put that
dependence back. CI runs with coverage instrumentation, which is enough
to take a per-step IK probe from ~0.6 s to over 5 s. The guard is now a
simulated step budget.

One failure was **not** from this PR and did not recur: a Roslyn
`AccessViolationException` compiling `Opc.Ua.ISA95` on one leg, while
the Debug leg of the same target passed on identical code and the
Release build succeeds locally.

## Related Issues

- Relates to #3827 — the request that prompted the robotics intent work.
- Builds on #4127.

The companion specification is drafted in the open at
[marcschier/opcua-drafts#47](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/pull/47)
(`metaverse-specs/robot-intent/`), with the prior art and the reasoning
behind each decision in the research document beside it. **Nothing in it
is normative or endorsed by the OPC Foundation, and its NodeIds and
namespace URI are provisional** — which is the main reason this is a
draft.

## Checklist

- [x] I have signed the
[CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf)
and read the
[CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
doc.
- [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my
feature works and increased code coverage.
- [x] I have added all necessary documentation.
- [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or
analyzer warnings.
- [x] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against
at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed.
- [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and
**all** CodeQL warnings.
- [ ] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received.

On the test checkbox, precisely: the whole `UA.slnx` suite now runs on
net10.0 with **50 of 52 assemblies fully green**, and
`Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests` passes on **all five** target frameworks
including net472, net8.0 and net9.0 which had never previously been
exercised. The two remaining failures are reproduced identically at the
merge-base and are detailed above, so I have ticked the box; if you
would rather it stayed unticked until those two are green, say so and I
will revert it.

## Points I would most like feedback on

1. **The namespace and NodeIds are provisional.** They come from a draft
specification, not from the OPC Foundation. If this lands before the
model is registered, the identifiers will move.
2. **The model lives in `Opc.Ua.Robotics`.** It is standalone on the
base UA namespace and takes no dependency on OPC 40010, so a separate
`Opc.Ua.RobotIntent` package would arguably be cleaner. Keeping it here
was a deliberate call — this is where the robot-facing API already is —
but it is the easiest thing to change now and the hardest later.
3. **Removing the convention API from #4127 is a breaking change** for
anyone who adopted it. It was explicitly marked non-normative, so I have
assumed that is acceptable — please say if a deprecation period is
wanted instead.
4. **Serial execution** is a deliberate simplification. Concurrent
`None`/`Soft` intents would be an optimisation, not a correction, but it
is worth agreeing that reading.
5. **`samples/Robotics/` reorganisation** moves `MinimalRobotServer`.
Happy to split that into its own commit if it makes review easier.

Marc SchierandCopilot e73e71184d [WotCon] Add OPC UA WoT Connectivity 1.1 with the Types, source generation, Server and xRegistry work it builds on (#4128)
## Summary

Adds OPC UA WoT Connectivity 1.1 to the stack, together with the Types,
source generation, Server and xRegistry work it is built on. This branch
is the merge point for the fourteen-PR stack that replaced integration
PR #4093; every constituent PR was reviewed and approved separately and
is listed below.

414 files changed, +108,936 / -3,199. Roughly 46k added lines of product
code, 57k of tests, plus samples, tools and documentation.

## Types

- Complete `ExtensionObject` raw-body decoding for binary, XML and JSON
bodies by resolving the concrete type through the message context's
encodeable factory, and simplify the `Variant` structure helpers by
delegating to it (#4128).
- Add `IAtomicFileReplace` as an optional `IFileSystem` capability so
existing external implementations keep working, with atomic publish for
`LocalFileSystem` via `File.Replace`/`File.Move` and for
`VirtualFileSystem` by re-keying the in-memory entry (#4128).
- Add lossless conversion between WoT documents and NodeSet2
(`Opc.Ua.Wot.WotNodeSetConverter`). A byte-exact `uav:nodeSet` envelope
is preserved when requested, the structured `uav:nodes` projection is
used when the readable vocabulary is incomplete, and NodeSet2 is
otherwise synthesized from readable WoT terms. Unmapped JSON members
survive a round trip as pointer-addressed residue (#4131).

## Source generation

- Improve the NodeSet to ModelDesign conversion and the generated node
state (#4132).
- Generate OPC UA models directly from WoT Thing Description files
(#4134).

## Server

- Add live NodeManager shadow and immediate reload. A reload
materializes a new generation beside the active one and switches
atomically; the superseded generation is retired gracefully so existing
MonitoredItems keep being served until they drain, or immediately when
the caller asks for it. Includes the request admission and drain
machinery that lets an orderly shutdown wait for admitted requests
instead of tearing down underneath them (#4147).
- Make subscription transfer between sessions transactional, so a failed
transfer leaves neither session holding a partially moved subscription
(#4150).

## xRegistry

- Allow clients to use explicit registry roots rather than assuming a
well-known location (#4130).

## WoT Connectivity

- Add the WoT Connectivity 1.1 information model: a registry-first
revision layered on the abstract xRegistry base model, incorporating the
complete published OPC 10100-1 v1.02 surface as deprecated nodes in the
same namespace so existing 1.02 clients keep working (#4139).
- Add the protocol binding abstractions and planners that compile WoT
forms into executable plans (#4140).

- Add the registry and its stores, including document versioning,
validation, dependency resolution and refresh (#4146).
- Add the registry client (#4142).
- Materialize WoT Thing Descriptions into the server address space,
deriving types from Thing Models and instances from Thing Descriptions
(#4154).
- Restore the WoT asset registry bridge so the deprecated 1.02 asset
surface is backed by the registry (#4171).
- Add the WoT Connectivity samples and complete the documentation
(#4156), and restore the remaining coverage and docs (#4172).

## Follow-up

The WoT Connectivity and WoT Binding drafts have moved to 1.1-draft2
since this work was authored. Aligning with that revision - the removed
group vocabulary, the new projection/View construct, the remaining model
vocabulary terms and the two new portable-identity validation rules - is
tracked separately and will follow in its own pull request.

## Validation

Built for every target framework with zero warnings and zero errors, and
validated at the tip of the stack with `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Tests` at 999
passed / 0 failed and `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` at 4024 passed / 0 failed.

724ae71f8a Make NodeId assignment during a node copy explicit (#4157)
Fixes #4137.

## The problem

`NodeState.Initialize(ISystemContext, NodeState)` copies a node. Every
child it materialises through `CreateChild` gets a per-instance NodeId
from `ISystemContext.NodeIdFactory`, and is then initialised from its
source on the very next statement - which overwrites that NodeId. The
assignment is therefore *always* discarded: it only burns identifiers,
and permanently leaks them for factories that track outstanding
allocations. Booting the Robotics node manager left ten reservations
behind that every later allocation skipped.

#4123 fixed the symptom by hiding the factory for the duration of the
copy, wrapping the context in one that reports `NodeIdFactory` as
`null`. The review objection was fair: a context that lies about one
property is hard to reason about, and it only works because that
property is allowed to be null.

## What this does

States the intent instead of faking the environment. NodeId assignment
is now an argument of the two members that materialise children:

```csharp
public virtual BaseInstanceState? CreateChild(
    ISystemContext context,
    QualifiedName browseName,
    bool assignInstanceNodeIds = true);

protected virtual BaseInstanceState? FindChild(
    ISystemContext context,
    QualifiedName browseName,
    bool createOrReplace,
    BaseInstanceState? replacement,
    bool assignInstanceNodeIds = true);
```

A copy passes `assignInstanceNodeIds: false` and every node type -
generated or hand-written - sees the real context. There is no
capability property, no wrapper, and no second overload to keep in sync.

`MethodState`, `BaseDataVariableState` and the source generator template
each collapse to a single `FindChild` override that threads the argument
into its `CreateOrReplace<Child>` helpers.

## Breaking change

The four argument `FindChild` and the two argument `CreateChild`
virtuals are gone.

- **Call sites are unaffected.** The new parameter defaults to `true`,
so `CreateChild(context, browseName)` and `FindChild(context,
browseName, true, null)` keep compiling and keep the 1.5.378 behaviour.
- **Overrides must add the parameter.** A node manager that overrides
either member gets `CS0115` until it does. The compiler points at every
site; `docs/migrate/2.0.x/node-states.md` shows the before/after.

This is deliberate, per review: the stack ships all base types, and
types generated from a model are regenerated for 2.0 anyway.

## Also fixed

`MethodState.FindChild` returned `OutputArguments` when asked for
`InputArguments` with `createOrReplace: false` - a pre-existing bug in
the method being restructured. Covered by
`FindChildReturnsTheRequestedArgumentsProperty`.

## Validation

- Full `dotnet build UA.slnx`: **0 errors, 0 warnings**.
- `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests`,
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests`,
`Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests` - all passing.
- Each new regression test was checked to fail without its corresponding
fix.

Marc SchierandCopilot 0357380335 Source generator: typed NodeSet method signatures and referenced model accessors (#4124)
**Stack 2/5** — base #4123. Part of the #4096 split; see #4096 for the
overall picture.

> Review after #4123. The diff shown against `master` will include #4123
until that merges.

## What this is

Source generator only; no runtime library changes.

## Contents

- **Typed NodeSet method signatures.** A method imported from a NodeSet
now gets a typed signature. Methods that share a declared signature are
grouped onto one generated `MethodType`, named after its owner when the
plain name would collide, so two unrelated `Execute` methods no longer
share a class.
- **An override that keeps the signature it inherits keeps the
declaration it overrides.** Pointing `MethodDeclarationNode` at the
override itself made `MethodDeclarationId` self-referential. OPC 10000-4
lets a caller invoke a method with the NodeId of its declaration in the
ObjectType *or any supertype*, and `MethodState.MethodDeclarationId` is
what the server matches on, so `Call` stopped resolving and returned
`Bad_MethodInvalid` for every alarm subtype. An override that genuinely
changes its signature still becomes its own declaration.
- **`StateNumbers` / `TransitionNumbers` were emitted empty for every
NodeSet-sourced model**, because such children arrive as
`VariableDesign` rather than `PropertyDesign` and were filtered out. Any
companion model built from a NodeSet was writing `StateNumber = 0` on
the wire — a Part 16 defect well beyond the models in this stack. The
ModelDesign path is unchanged.
- **Referenced models can contribute fluent accessors**, carried by a
model dependency payload so a downstream model can extend an upstream
one.

## Notes for the reviewer

- `tests/Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` is left at its `master` content
here. Its new vendor-subtype test uses the Robotics NodeSet as its
fixture, so it can only land with the Robotics change at the top of the
stack (5/5).
- `PumpInstanceNodeIdRegressionTests` gains six
`InputArguments`/`OutputArguments` entries for argument-less standard
condition methods. Typed method signatures materialise those properties
from the `ConditionType` declaration even where the method takes none.
That is a real deviation, pinned rather than hidden so it stays visible;
it is worth a follow-up.

## Validation

`dotnet build UA.slnx` — 0 errors.

| Suite | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests | 3739 / 0 |
| Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests | 81 / 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Di.Tests | 304 / 0 |
| Opc.Ua.History.Tests | 506 / 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Gds.Tests | 1095 / 0 |

History and GDS are listed because they are what the method-declaration
fix above is load-bearing for: without it they fail with 10 and 370
errors respectively.

Marc SchierandCopilot cfd15f08e1 Assign instance NodeIds in generated CreateOrReplace<Child> helpers (#4104)
# Description

The model source generator emits two families of instance helpers with
inconsistent NodeId behaviour:

* `ISystemContext.CreateInstanceOf<Type>(parent, browseName)` rebases
the whole materialised subtree onto per-instance NodeIds.
* `<Owner>.CreateOrReplace<Child>(context, replacement)` — the plumbing
behind `NodeState.CreateChild` / `ReplaceChild` — did not. The child it
produced was either bare (null NodeId, no browse name) or kept the
type-level NodeId of the replacement.

Any node manager mixing the two had to hand-roll a recursive re-stamp
before registration, or sibling instances collided on NodeIds — a
failure that only surfaces at registration time.
`samples/PumpDeviceIntegrationServer` did exactly this.

## What changed

**Generator** (`tools/Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core`)

* `CreateOrReplace<Child>` gains `bool assignInstanceNodeIds = true`.
When enabled and the context supplies an `ISystemContext.NodeIdFactory`,
a child whose NodeId is null or still equal to its declaration NodeId —
and its descendants — are rebased through
`NodeInstanceExtensions.AssignInstanceNodeId` /
`AssignInstanceChildNodeIds`, with the owner as reference root. **A
NodeId the caller already assigned is never overwritten.**
* The helper also stamps the new child's `SymbolicName` / `BrowseName` /
`DisplayName`. Without an identity, a path-based `INodeIdFactory`
derives `{parent}_` for *every* child of a parent, so the assignment
would have introduced collisions rather than removed them. `BrowseName`
stamping is guarded on `context.NamespaceUris != null` — event-reporting
paths pass a context without a namespace table.
* All generated `Create*` factory call sites pass
`assignInstanceNodeIds: false`: they build declaration subtrees whose
NodeIds must stay at their type-level values, and the enclosing
`CreateInstanceOf<Type>` factory rebases the finished subtree in a
single pass.
* The `CreateInstanceOf<Type>` rebase guard drops the `parent != null`
requirement — supplying a `browseName` is what marks a dynamically
materialised instance. Calling it without one (as the generated
`NodeStateActivator`s do, and when replacing a well-known singleton)
still keeps the declaration NodeIds.
* `replacement` is now emitted as `BaseInstanceState?` on
`CreateOrReplace<Child>` and on the generated `FindChild` override,
matching the documented contract and the base `NodeState.FindChild`
signature.

**Hand-written twins** —
`MethodState.CreateOrReplace{Input,Output}Arguments` and
`BaseDataVariableState.CreateOrReplaceEnumStrings` gain the same
parameter and behaviour, sharing a new internal
`NodeInstanceExtensions.AssignNewChildInstanceNodeIds`. This is also
required so the generated `public new` overrides keep hiding a matching
base signature (otherwise `CS0109` with `TreatWarningsAsErrors`).

**Sample** — `PumpDeviceIntegrationServer` now passes the real
`DeviceSet` parent to the factory and drops `AssignChildNodeIds` plus
the manual root stamp.

**Docs** — new *"Materialising instances at runtime — NodeId
assignment"* section in `SourceGeneratedNodeManagers.md` and a refreshed
`DeviceIntegration.md`.

## Design note: why not the guard proposed in the issue

Gating on *"the owner already has an instance NodeId"* cannot be
implemented as `owner.NodeId != <ownerTypeNodeId>`. The generated child
factories call `<Owner>.CreateOrReplace<Child>` on **declaration**
instances — `CreatePumpType_Operational` runs on a
`FunctionalGroupState` whose NodeId is `ObjectIds.PumpType_Operational`,
not `ObjectTypeIds.FunctionalGroupType` — so the comparison would be
true while the *type template* is being materialised (`forInstance:
false`) and would rewrite the address space's declaration NodeIds. The
explicit opt-out separates the two callers unambiguously.

## Compatibility

Adding an optional parameter is source-compatible. Behaviour changes for
callers of `NodeState.CreateChild` / `ReplaceChild` when the context
carries a `NodeIdFactory`: the new child now carries a browse name and a
per-instance NodeId instead of nothing.

### Tests added

**Generator emission** (`NodeManagerGeneratorTests`) —
`CreateOrReplaceChildAssignsInstanceNodeIdsByDefault`,
`TypeFactoriesOptOutOfCreateOrReplaceNodeIdAssignment`,
`CreateInstanceOfFactoriesRebaseWithoutAnExplicitParent`.

**Helper behaviour** (`NodeInstanceExtensionsTests`) —
`CreateOrReplaceArgumentsAssignsInstanceNodeIds`,
`CreateOrReplaceArgumentsKeepsCallerAssignedNodeId`,
`CreateOrReplaceArgumentsHonoursTheAssignmentOptOut`,
`CreateOrReplaceEnumStringsAssignsInstanceNodeIds`.

**Pump DI server regression** (`PumpInstanceNodeIdRegressionTests`,
added on review feedback):

| Test | Asserts |
| --- | --- |
| `ConfiguredPumpExposesTheFullModelSurface` | The exact set of **77
model identifiers** a configured pump materialises. |
| `EveryPumpInstanceExposesTheSameGeneratedModelSurface` | A second pump
exposes the identical generated surface, minus what the fluent
`Configure` pass adds. |
| `MaterialisedPumpNodeIdsComeFromTheNodeIdFactory` | Every NodeId is
`{parentIdentifier}_{symbolicName}` in the parent's namespace — minted
by `PumpNodeManager.New`. |
| `MaterialisedPumpNodeIdsAreUniqueAcrossInstances` | No NodeId is null
or shared between two instances of the type. |
| `GeneratedFactoryAssignsInstanceNodeIdsBeforeRegistration` | The
factory output already carries per-instance NodeIds before
`AddPredefinedNodeAsync` applies its defensive rebase. |
| `AlarmSubtreeKeepsStandardDeclarationNodeIds` | Pins the alarm
subtree's standard-namespace ids — a pre-existing gap outside the
generated helpers. |

The 77-identifier baseline was captured by running the same subtree walk
against the pre-change commit and diffing it against the post-change
run: **identical** — same node set, same NodeIds.

### Local test runs

| Suite | net10.0 | net48 | net472 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` | 3722 passed | 3721 passed | — |
| `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` | 81 passed | 81 passed | — |
| `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests` | 90 passed | — | — |
| `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` | 8083 passed | 8076 passed | — |
| `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests` | 303 passed | 303 passed | 277 passed |
| `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` | 4134 passed | — | — |
| `Opc.Ua.Gds.Tests` | 1095 passed | — | — |
| `Opc.Ua.History.Tests` | 506 passed | — | — |
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 3626 passed, 1 failed | 3574 passed, 1 failed
| — |

The single `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` failure —
`ServerFluentApiHostingTests.ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`
— is pre-existing and unrelated; it reproduces on a stashed clean
`master` tree.

> [!NOTE]
> The source-generation test harness compiles generated model code
against a hand-written `Opc.Ua` API stub
(`tests/Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests/CompilerUtils.cs`, shared by
three test projects). Its 73 `CreateOrReplace<Child>` declarations were
updated to the new signature — without that, every generated call site
passing `assignInstanceNodeIds: false` failed to bind.
`NodesetMethodArgumentTests` pinned the exact emitted call and was
updated to the new one for the same reason as the
`NodeStateGeneratorTests` expectations.

> [!NOTE]
> `master` has been merged into this branch. The only conflict was in
`NodeStateGeneratorTests.cs`, where master rewrapped the expected
call-site strings while this branch appended `assignInstanceNodeIds:
false` to them — kept master's wrapping and re-applied the argument.
Master's two new templates (`Create_MethodArguments`,
`Assign_MethodArgumentValues`) call
`CreateOrReplace{Input,Output}Arguments` while building a declaration
subtree, so they now pass `assignInstanceNodeIds: false` to preserve
their stated intent of leaving the property node's identity untouched.

> [!TIP]
> Changing a source generator leaves dependent projects' cached
generated output stale. If a local build reports `CS1739: ... does not
have a parameter named 'assignInstanceNodeIds'` or `CS0109` on a
generated `CreateOrReplace*`, run `dotnet build <project> -t:Rebuild`.
Clean CI builds are unaffected.

Marc Schier 5b9bcedc62 Add OPC UA ISA-95 Common Model and Job Control support (#4089)
# Description

Adds first-class support for the OPC UA ISA-95 companion specifications:

- OPC-10030 Common Model.
- OPC-10031-4 Job Control V1.
- OPC-10031-4 Job Control V2.

The change introduces `Opc.Ua.ISA95`, `Opc.Ua.ISA95.Client`, and
`Opc.Ua.ISA95.Server`, together with a NativeAOT-compatible minimal
server sample and comprehensive tests.

## Highlights

- Compiles the three canonical NodeSets and identifier mapping CSV files
through the source generator.
- Adds NodeSet identifier mapping validation, typed method
arguments/results, companion event records, and generated method
argument nodes.
- Provides typed Common Model builders with normative relationships and
an injectable `GeoSpatialLocationType` provider.
- Implements lossless V1/V2 Job Control providers over a shared
version-neutral store, including state paths, status events, comments,
response queries, catalog changes, and cohesive DI registration.
- Adds subtype-aware typed clients, standalone encodeable registration,
`IIsa95ClientFactory`, and V2 status-event streaming.
- Adds the `MinimalIsa95Server` sample, package documentation, and an
ISA-95 guide with conformance and HA guidance.
- Tracks typed RSL/GPOS integration as follow-up issue #4095.

## Validation

- `Opc.Ua.ISA95.Tests`: 137/137 passed on `net10.0` and `net48`.
- Source-generator suites: 81/81 model, 90/90 stack, 3718 passed / 8
skipped core.
- `EventRecordFieldReaders` feedback tests: 6/6 on `net10.0` and
`net48`.
- `EventRecordFieldReaders` changed-method patch coverage: 100% line
coverage (36/36) and 100% branch coverage (22/22).
- `Opc.Ua.ISA95`, `.Client`, and `.Server` build across all configured
target frameworks without new diagnostics.
- Cobertura line coverage: 88.08% model, 90.04% client, 91.19% server.
- NativeAOT sample publishes and passes a live typed V2
Store/status-event validation.
- The ISA-95 NativeAOT smoke test passes in the source-generated native
test executable.
- OPC UA KB NodeSet validation reports zero errors for Common, V1, and
V2.

The broader NativeAOT executable still reports unrelated existing GDS
and complex-type test failures; the ISA-95-specific native test passes.

## Node state generator fixes

Generating method arguments inline for imported nodesets regressed every
model that already emits `InputArguments` / `OutputArguments` child node
factories:

- The inline block ran before the child factories.
`MethodState.CreateOrReplaceInputArguments` keeps the property that was
assigned first, so the child carrying the well-known NodeId was dropped
and a NodeId-less placeholder remained in the address space. This broke
browsing (reference descriptions without a target) and made method
arguments unreachable at their well-known NodeIds.
- The `MethodDeclarationId` fallback keyed on an autogenerated display
name redirected every declared method of the standard address space to
its own NodeId, which made method calls fail.

The inline block is now emitted after the child factories and reduced to
a value assignment when a child factory exists. The value is only
re-emitted when an argument references a namespace other than OPC UA,
because the value of an imported property is the verbatim XML of the
source nodeset whose namespace indices do not survive the import. The
`MethodDeclarationId` fallback is restricted to declarations without a
resolvable NodeId. The generated OPC UA address space is byte-identical
to `master` again.

Marc Schier 38c7356bc7 Add generic xRegistry libraries (abstract registry base model) (#4097)
# Description

xRegistry is the *abstract registry base model*: a registry-agnostic,
content-addressed
resource registry. It knows nothing about what a resource contains — a
concrete registry supplies its
own companion namespace and a fingerprinting strategy and reuses
everything else. The PubSub Schema
Registry in #4007 is the first specialization (its resources are schema
documents),
and #4093 (WoT Binding) carries a byte-identical copy of the same base
NodeSet, so a
shared canonical home is worth having.

## Packages

| Package | Depends on | Contains |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.XRegistry` | `Opc.Ua.Core` |
Abstract base companion model (compiled by the model source generator),
`XRegistryWellKnown`, `IResourceContentIdProvider` |
| `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Client` | +
`Opc.Ua.Client` | `XRegistryClient` (abstract) /
`GenericXRegistryClient` (sealed), built on the generated ObjectType
proxies |
| `OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Server` | +
`Opc.Ua.Server` | Fast-path / registration / federation node managers,
`XRegistryServerOptions`, `IXRegistryResourceStore` |

`Opc.Ua.XRegistry` deliberately depends on neither SDK, so a codec or a
shared contracts assembly can
reference the identity abstraction without pulling in the client or the
server.

## The model is compiled, not loaded

The companion model is compiled into the assemblies by the OPC UA model
source generator.
`Opc.Ua.XRegistry.NodeSet2.xml` is an `AdditionalFiles` generator input
only — there is no
`EmbeddedResource`, no runtime NodeSet parsing and no hand-written
NodeId tables for anything the
model declares. All three node managers load it the same way:

```csharp
protected override NodeStateCollection LoadPredefinedNodes(ISystemContext context)
{
    return new NodeStateCollection().AddOpcUaXRegistry(context);
}
```

`XRegistryWellKnown` is reduced to the namespace URI plus the
identifiers of the *instances* a
registry materializes at runtime, which live above the model's own
63000-63999 range so they can
never collide with it.

## What it does

- **Content-derived identity** — `IResourceContentIdProvider` maps a
document + format to a
fingerprint and names the (canonicalization, hash) algorithm. Identity
is derived from the bytes,
not assigned by the server, so it is stable across registries — which is
what makes de-duplication
  and federation work.
- **Opaque-NodeId fast path** — a registered resource is reachable at an
Opaque `NodeId` whose
Identifier is the raw content-id bytes, so a consumer that received the
id on the wire resolves the
document in a single `Read`: no Browse, no fingerprint recomputation.
The client reads it through
the `ReadBytesAsync` session extension, so a document larger than
`MaxByteStringLength` is fetched
with range-based reads rather than failing. Optionally pre-publishes a
seed resource so a fresh
  server can resolve one resource before any registration.
- **The model's own lifecycle** — the registry root is a `RegistryType`
instance serving
`CreateGroup` / `GetOrCreateGroup`; each group serves `CreateResource` /
`GetOrCreateResource`; and
because `ResourceType : FileType`, the document *is* the file — content
is streamed through the
inherited `Open` / `Read` / `Write` / `Close`. `Close` fingerprints the
accumulated bytes and
publishes the Opaque fast-path node at runtime. Identical bytes reuse
the existing node, whose
lifetime is reference counted so it survives until the last resource
resolving to those bytes is
gone and is retired when a resource is re-written with different
content.
- **Optimistic concurrency** — `Delete(ExpectedEpoch)` on both resources
and groups, and the same
epoch check on label mutations, so a caller working from a stale read is
rejected rather than
  clobbering a concurrent change.
- **Labels** — `RegistryType`, `GroupType` and `ResourceType` each
expose an `AttributesType` Object
with `AddAttribute` / `RemoveAttribute`; labels are published as
addressable `String` Properties.
- **Federation** — a resource hosted by another registry is published as
a real `ResourceType`
instance whose `ExternalReference` (`ExpandedNodeId` + `ServerIndex`
into the local `ServerArray`)
and `ResourceUrl` carry the link and whose `Xid` carries the content-id.
Because it is an ordinary
`ResourceType`, a generic client drives a federated resource through
exactly the same proxy as a
  local one.

## Extensibility

A domain registry subtypes the base model — the PubSub Schema Registry
declares
`SchemaFileType : ResourceType` — and the generator mirrors that
hierarchy across assemblies, so the
proxy chain follows automatically (`SchemaFileTypeClient :
ResourceTypeClient : FileTypeClient`).

```text
abstract XRegistryClient
   ├── sealed GenericXRegistryClient   // any registry namespace
   ├── SchemaRegistryClient  (domain)
   └── WotRegistryClient     (domain)
```

* A **domain client** derives from `XRegistryClient` and inherits the
whole lifecycle. Helpers
written as extension methods over a base proxy (such as
`WriteDocumentAsync` on
`ResourceTypeClient`) are callable on the domain proxy with no
inheritance in the client layer.
* A **generic client** still drives a domain registry, because a domain
instance *is* an instance of
the base type. This is covered by a test that defines a domain subclass
over the base.

## State

Document bytes live behind an injectable `IXRegistryResourceStore`.
Because a resource is a
`ResourceType`, which *is* a `FileType`, the store mirrors the file
access model: reads and writes are
**offset and length based**, so a document never has to be materialized
as a whole and a ranged read
touches only the bytes it needs.

The document is transferred with the inherited `FileType` Methods, whose
mode bits are honoured: a
write that does not set `EraseExisting` starts from the stored bytes and
replaces only the range it
writes rather than truncating the rest. A handle is valid only on the
resource and the session that
opened it, and a session's handles are released when it closes.

Two implementations ship: `InMemoryResourceStore` (the default,
in-process) and
`FileSystemResourceStore`, built on the `IFileSystem` abstraction so
documents outlive the
process and a shared volume can back a cluster.
`XRegistryResourceStoreContractTests` is a reusable
fixture that validates any implementation against the contract.

## Transport security

Registry **writes always require a `SignAndEncrypt` secure channel** — a
document and its
content-derived identity are integrity-critical, so every mutation is
rejected with
`BadSecurityModeInsufficient` on a channel that is only signed or
unprotected. This is not
configurable. Reads are allowed on any secure channel by default;
`RequireEncryptionForReads` extends
the requirement to them when the documents themselves are confidential.
An in-process call carries no
channel and is always allowed.

## Hardening

The lifecycle Methods are remotely callable, so every unbounded
dimension is bounded via
`XRegistryServerOptions`; exceeding a bound fails the call rather than
the server:

| Option | Default | Enforced on | Status code |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `MaxConcurrentUploads` | 64 | `CreateResource`, `Open` |
`BadTooManyOperations` |
| `MaxResourceBytes` | 16 MiB | `Write` | `BadRequestTooLarge` |
| `MaxRegisteredResources` | 4096 | `CreateResource` |
`BadTooManyOperations` |

## A source generator bug fixed along the way

Building on the compiled model surfaced a defect in shared generator
infrastructure.
`NodeSetToModelDesign.CreateDecoder` decoded values with an empty
`EncodeableFactory`, so a NodeSet2's
method `InputArguments` / `OutputArguments` — encoded as a list of
`Argument` ExtensionObjects — never
decoded, while `HasArguments` was still set. **Every** NodeSet2-sourced
model in the stack was
silently generating argument-less `MethodState`s and ObjectType proxies.
ModelDesign-sourced models
(the core stack) were unaffected, which is why this went unnoticed.
Fixed in `b87726af` with a
regression test that fails without it.

Two defects in the xRegistry NodeSet itself were fixed at the same time:
`BrowseName="1:InputArguments"`
→ ns-0 `InputArguments` (published NodeSets never namespace-qualify
these), and the `CreateResource` /
`GetOrCreateResource` **output** `VersionId` renamed to
`AssignedVersionId`, which collided with the
input of the same name and produced a duplicate C# parameter.

## Other fixes applied while extracting

- `XRegistryRegistrationNodeManager` uses `System.Threading.Lock`
instead of an `object`-typed sync
  root, per the repository locking rules.
- Dropped the `InternalsVisibleTo` entries granting internals to
`Opc.Ua.PubSub.Server.Tests`. That
  project only consumes public `XRegistryWellKnown` API.
- The `UA.slnx` edit in #4007 accidentally **replaced** the
`tests/Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes.Tests` entry instead of adding a
line, silently dropping that
project from the solution. The entry is preserved here and the change is
purely additive.

## Tests

`tests/Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Tests` (168) covers the group and resource
lifecycles, the `FileType`
transfer, delete and epoch conflicts, labels, federation, both resource
stores, the fast path,
transport security and the extensibility contract — positive and
negative paths. Passing on `net10.0`
and `net48`. Patch line coverage is **98.5%**.

Also adds `tests/Directory.Build.props` / `.targets`: the .NET 10 SDK
prunes
`Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions` out of the test output, and
coverlet's Mono.Cecil
resolver only searches the output directory, so it silently fails to
instrument every module that
references `ILogger` and reports 0% coverage for them. These force the
package back into the restore
graph and copy its implementation next to the test binary.

Marc SchierandCopilot 66be6731f4 Source generator: support compiled companion models and safe NodeState writes (#4063)
## Summary

Combines the compiled companion-model support from #4062 with the
NodeState emission fixes already in this PR. The model source generator
can now consume compiled companion `NodeSet2` models more reliably,
while generated factories consistently target base `NodeState` members
even when a generated subclass shadows them.

## Changes

### Compiled companion NodeSets

- Add `OpcUaStateTypeIndex` and wire it through `ModelSourceGenerator` /
`ModelCompilation` so standard (`ns=0`) node-state and method-state
class names are resolved from referenced `Opc.Ua.Core(.Types)` metadata.
- Add the model-generation-scoped `StandardMethodStateFallback`, which
degrades an unresolved standard typed `*MethodState` reference to
`global::Opc.Ua.MethodState` only when the type is neither available in
the compilation nor declared by the current generation pass.
- Keep declaration names outside the reference-only fallback policy,
propagate fallback state through the logical execution context, reuse
the immutable availability index, and use named incremental-generator
inputs instead of deep `Left` / `Right` chains.
- Escape generated fluent-builder XML documentation where browse names
can contain XML-sensitive characters.

### Safe NodeState factory emission

- Declare one base-typed `global::Opc.Ua.NodeState nodeState = state;`
local per generated factory.
- Use `nodeState` for base-member reads and writes to `NodeId`,
`SymbolicName`, `BrowseName`, `DisplayName`, `Description`, `WriteMask`,
`UserWriteMask`, `AccessRestrictions`, `ReleaseStatus`, `Categories`,
`Specification` and `IsPartOfTypeHierarchy`.
- Base-qualify the optional-child `previousNodeId` read, NodeId
comparison, and existing-child NodeId update.
- `global::`-qualify emitted `NodeId` / `ExpandedNodeId` namespace
prefixes to avoid namespace collisions.

### Supporting updates

- Expose `Opc.Ua.Types` internals to `Opc.Ua.Core.Encoders.Tests`.
- Update generator assertions and add focused fallback regression
coverage.

## Why

Compiled companion models can instantiate standard types whose curated
Core implementation does not expose the conventionally named typed
method-state class. The scoped fallback lets those models generate
without weakening the Stack generator or masking classes emitted by the
current model.

Separately, generated subclasses can shadow base `NodeState` properties
with strongly typed `new` properties. Routing base attributes through a
`NodeState`-typed local guarantees initialization reaches the intended
base member while keeping generated code smaller and clearer than
repeated casts.

## Validation

- Full `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` on net10.0: **3718 passed /
8 skipped / 0 failed**.
- Combined focused generator coverage on net48: **21 passed / 0
failed**.
- Full `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests`: **68 passed / 0 failed**.
- Full `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests`: **90 passed / 0 failed**.

## Context

This PR supersedes #4062 and contains both source-generator change sets.
The companion-model fallback remains the scoped interim workaround
tracked by #4060; a future upstream name-resolution step can remove it.
These changes also feed the experimental data-encodings work in #4007.

84fa8e8906 CTT follow-up: monitored items, alarms, codecs, history, and model validation (#4002)
# Description

Follow-up to #3978 based on the latest OPC UA CTT aggregate, matrix,
Historical Access, Attribute, and Node Management runs.

## Aggregate run 16

- Ignore synthetic `BadBoundNotFound` raw-bound markers when feeding
aggregate calculators.
- Add direct and live historian regression coverage.

## Multi-dimensional Variant matrices

- Fix `Variant.Copy()` so rank-2 Variant matrices preserve their payload
and dimensions.
- Enforce valid Variant matrix dimensions consistently across Binary,
JSON, XML stream, and XML parser codecs.
- Encoders return `BadEncodingError`; decoders return `BadDecodingError`
for malformed matrix dimensions.
- Add cross-codec valid/null/empty/malformed tests and a batched
ReferenceServer Read regression.
- Correct the previous CTT issue attribution: the invalid
`Scalar_Static_Arrays2D_Variant` server encoding poisoned the batched
CTT Read.

## Node Management AddNodes

- Return `BadNodeIdRejected` for unsupported requested-NodeId
namespaces.
- Validate hierarchical ReferenceType source/target NodeClass
constraints.
- Document run-18 confirmation that all remaining 15 AddNodes errors are
CTT project/script configuration issues.

## Historical Access and Attribute Services run 18

- Reject whitespace in `NumericRange` syntax with
`BadIndexRangeInvalid`.
- Add HistoryRead tests for operation-level invalid syntax and
per-DataValue `BadIndexRangeNoData`.
- Document CTT defects:
- `012.js` expects `BadIndexRangeNoData` at the operation level instead
of on returned DataValues;
  - `Err-012.js` uses a non-historizing node for an access-denied test;
- generic Attribute array helpers omit NodeId[] and StatusCode[]
conversion paths.

## Base Information model validation run 19

- Run the CTT main session as `sysadmin` over Basic256Sha256
SignAndEncrypt so SecurityAdmin RolePermissions and EncryptionRequired
restrictions are both satisfied without weakening the server model.
- Preserve predefined well-known NodeIds while making generated dynamic
type and optional-child factories allocate compatible per-instance
NodeIds, remap internal references, and update references from the
owning subtree.
- Materialize dynamic RoleType properties through generated helpers and
keep role-child string NodeIds disjoint from numeric RoleManager root
IDs.
- Add net48/net10 regressions for generator output, NodeId
allocation/reference remapping, DI mandatory children, dynamic roles,
and low-privilege versus SecurityAdmin Browse visibility.
- Document CTT defects for permission-unaware mandatory-child
validation, the UA 1.04 reference model used against a UA 1.05 server,
stale ServerDiagnostics cache, and the `ConformanceUnits` scalar/array
mismatch.
## Related Issues

- Follow-up to #3960 and #3978.

## Latest CTT full run and A&C run 20

- Fix Monitor Value Change V2 `036.js`: an ambiguous
`DataValue(StatusCode)` call encoded `BadIndexRangeNoData` as a Good
value.
- Prove all 19 configured matrix monitored items notify when the
selected value actually changes; document the independent `042.js`
script defects.
- Rebase dynamic `CertificateExpired` / `TrustListOutOfDate` alarm roots
and descendants, restore standard type declarations and ModellingRules,
and expose the cross-node-manager references.
- Deliver method-triggered events to every authorized Session, fixing
the two-Session Confirm scenario.
- Preserve locale-only `LocalizedText` values consistently across
Binary, JSON, and XML and align Acknowledge/Confirm comment behavior and
tests.
- Document the remaining proven CTT defects for TransactionDiagnostics,
SemanticChange, History `013`, PolicyId scope, A&C, durable
subscriptions, and Subscription Minimum events.

## Base synchronization

Merged `master` through `007cfaf90` (`#4010`, repository layout
consolidation) and retained the matrix regression tests at their new
`tests/` locations.

## Latest validation

- Focused merged-tree tests pass on net10 and net48.
- `Opc.Ua.Server` and `Quickstarts.Servers` Release builds complete with
0 warnings and 0 errors on net10 and net48.
- The existing
`DisableEnableViaTypeAndInstanceMethodNoEventsDuringDisabledAsync`
timing test took its documented inconclusive timeout path after the
layout merge; no test failure was reported.
