romanett 36194f6a02 Avoid boxing and per-value copies on encoder, enum and server hot paths (#4715)
## Summary
Allocation audit of the per-message / per-value paths (binary codec,
built-in types, server request path, monitored items, client
notification dispatch) looking for boxing and avoidable per-value
copies. Measured with `GC.GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread` probe loops
on net10.0 **and net48**, and with `dotnet-trace` allocation traces of
the server load harness (#4707) for read/write/browse/subscription,
server and client side — a value type in the "allocated types" list is a
box.

Wire output and error behaviour are unchanged.

### Fixed
| Where | Cause | Frequency | Before → after |
|---|---|---|---|
| `Polyfills/System.IO.cs` (net48/netstandard2.0) |
`BinaryWriter.Write(ReadOnlySpan<byte>)` polyfill copied with
`ToArray()` — every string, array, ByteString, Guid write | per value |
32–64 B → 0; BrowseResponse×50 encode 15.3 → 10.9 KB |
| `EnumHelper` (net48/netstandard2.0) |
`EnumToInt32`/`Int32ToEnum`/`EnumToInt64` boxed outside
`NET8_0_OR_GREATER` (every enum field, `Variant.From<TEnum>`,
`EnumValue.From`) | per value | 24 B → 0 |
| `BinaryDecoder.ReadString` + stream raw reads (net48) | temp `byte[]`
per string, `BinaryReader.ReadBytes` | per value | BrowseResponse×50
decode 15.7 → 11.3 KB |
| `WriteGuid` / `ReadGuid` (all) | `ToByteArray()` / `byte[16]` | per
value (also Guid NodeIds) | 40 B → 0 each |
| `VariantHelper.TryCastTo<TEnum>` (`DataValue.GetValue<TEnum>`),
`EventRecordFieldReaders.GetEnum` | `Enum.ToObject` box | per call / per
event field | 24 B → 0 |
| `NodeManagerServiceDispatcher.GetManagerHandleAsync` | interface
enumerator per validated node | per node | Write-100: 151.8 → 148.5
KB/request |

### Cold paths (third commit)
- `Server.Auditing` write handler: `Convert.ToBoolean(object)` got a
boxed `Variant` (not `IConvertible`) and threw `InvalidCastException` on
any in-process write; now takes the boolean, `BadTypeMismatch` otherwise
(new test).
- `UpdateServerServiceLevel`: `Convert.ToByte(byte, IFormatProvider)`
bound to the object overload.
- Client publish-state / recovery-policy `HasFlag` (boxes on net48) →
`(x & F) == F`.
- `SequenceReader` big-endian float on net48/netstandard2.0 used
`Convert.ToSingle(int)` (numeric conversion) instead of reinterpreting
the bits.
- JSON enum strings: one `Enum.GetName` + `string.Concat` instead of
`IsDefined` + boxing `CoreUtils.Format`; same output (new test for the
`EnumValue` overload).

Left as is: `SamplingGroup` start-up `Convert.ToInt32(double, provider)`
(rewritten by #4707), `SecureChannelRenewed` formatting (transport files
in flight on the client perf branch), `Utils.IsEqual<T>` object path for
structs (cold callers; changing it would mix `CompareTo` and `Equals`
semantics), Machinery `HasFlag` (startup config).

### Not changed here
- `BinaryEncoder.GetNodeIdEncoding` `Convert.ToUInt32(object)` /
`Convert.ToByte(enum)` (72 B per NodeId encode, largest single item) and
`ChannelAsyncOperation.Complete` boxing the `int` result are handled on
the client performance branch.
- By design: `Variant` / `NodeId` store `ArrayOf<T>`, Guid, ByteString
identifiers boxed (`Variant.Copy` re-boxes RolePermissions during
permission checks).

## Tests
- New `BinaryCodecAllocationTests`: round trips in buffer and stream
decoder mode, truncation errors, allocation per call (< 1 B/call over
20k calls; the counter can be off by an allocation quantum when other
tests GC).
- `Enum.ToObject` equivalence for `TryCastTo` and
`EventRecordFieldReaders.GetEnum` across all underlying types.
- net10.0 (third commit): Types 11465, affected Server 87, Client
subscription 642 passed; net48 Types 11458 passed, `UA.slnx` 0 warnings.
- net10.0: Types 11464, Core.Encoders 2947, Server 8386 passed; Core
6197 passed, 1 unrelated
(`ActivityTraceFlags_Metrics_ShouldRecordMetricsOnly`, passes alone).
- net48: Types 11457, Core.Encoders 2947, EventRecordFieldReaders 25
passed; `UA.slnx` builds with 0 warnings.

romanett 28f1401324 Server: cut request-path lock contention and allocation; add load harness (#4707)
Profiling the reference server under load showed most request-path CPU
spent spinning on contended locks, plus several avoidable allocations
per request or per node. This PR removes them, switches the reference
server to Server GC, and adds the load harness used to measure it.

## Results

Paired A/B against `master` (3 alternating rounds, medians, 20 sessions,
workstation GC on both sides, 24-core machine):

| Scenario | Throughput | p50 | p90 | Server CPU / op | Server alloc /
op | Lock contention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Read, 1 value | **+45%** (94k → 137k req/s) | −20% | −46% | −37% |
−39% | −94% |
| Read, 100 values | **+40%** | −26% | −17% | −24% | −25% | +130% ¹ |
| Read, 100 values, SignAndEncrypt | **+48%** | −36% | −20% | −30% |
−26% | +106% ¹ |
| Browse (Server object) | **+33%** | −31% | −12% | −13% | −14% | −40% |
| Write, 100 values | +13% | −12% | −4% | −10% | −19% | −23% |
| Data-change subscriptions | ±0 ² | ≈ | ≈ | −14% | −17% | −29% |

¹ The faster server spends more time in the remaining per-node locks.
² Throughput is bounded by the writer rate in this scenario.

Separately, Server GC instead of workstation GC doubles Read-100
throughput (21k → 44k req/s) and cuts p90 from 2.1 ms to 0.6 ms, because
workstation GC paused the server for about half the wall time under
load. The working set grows from ~210 MB to ~430 MB.

## Changes

- **`ObjectPool<T>`**: lock-free slot array. `ConcurrentBag.Count` took
every per-thread lock on each `Return` of the pooled response value-task
source, once per request.
- **`FairRequestQueue`**:
- drops redundant gate entries: the fail-fast pre-checks and the stopped
check read volatile fields and are re-checked under the gate; the owner
count is folded into selection;
- coalesces wake pulses with a pending flag, so the bounded signal
channel's lock is only taken when no token is outstanding. Wake-count
semantics in the tests are unchanged.
- **`DefaultServerResourceIsolationProvider`**:
  - compares peer addresses without `GetAddressBytes()` allocations;
- builds the unsecured verification context only when a classifier is
configured.
- **TCP listener / channel**: caches the certificate DER copies per
channel, keyed on the certificate instance. `X509Certificate2.RawData`
returns a fresh copy on every access, and the listener read it for every
request.
- **`EndpointBase`**: resolves the request `ActivitySource` once instead
of `Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()` per request.
- **Node managers**:
- one `ServerSystemContext` copy per request (cached on the
`OperationContext`) for per-node callbacks: permission metadata, node
metadata, view membership, method lookup;
  - removes a discarded copy in `GetReferenceDescriptionAsync`;
- per-request operation caches are plain `Dictionary` instead of a
`ConcurrentDictionary` with 24 lock objects;
  - the validation cache is built in one pass;
  - fixes zero-capacity error lists.
- **`ResourceManager`**: translation lookups read an immutable snapshot
that is rebuilt after writes. Browse serialised on the global lock for
every display name.
- **`MonitoredItem`**: shares the default `DataChangeFilter` instead of
allocating one per sampled value.
- **Reference server**: `ServerGarbageCollection=true`; new "Garbage
collector mode" section in `docs/ServerScalability.md`.
- **`perf/`**: `ServerLoadHarness` (out-of-process server plus load
driver, server-side CPU/GC/alloc/contention deltas, optional
`dotnet-trace` capture), `TraceAnalyzer` (TraceEvent-based
CPU/allocation/contention aggregation), and paired A/B scripts. Not part
of `UA.slnx`.

### Behaviour notes for custom node managers
- The `IDictionary<NodeId, NodeState>` operation cache handed to
overrides is now a `Dictionary`. It was a `ConcurrentDictionary`, but
only one request flow uses it.
- Within one request, per-node callbacks of a node manager share one
`ServerSystemContext` copy.

### Later commits on this PR
- **Permission checks without `NodeMetadata`** (`9068684c3`): the
role-permission and access-restriction validators run on an internal
`PermissionMetadata` struct; `AsyncCustomNodeManager` fills it on the
stack from the same attributes and namespace defaults. Browse's
reference filter reads 3 attributes per target instead of 13. Read 100
values: 120.6 → 95.7 KB/request, ~21k → 26k req/s; Browse 67.6 → 51.8
KB, 26.7k → 29.8k req/s.
- **Read-only channel evidence** (`936b28d76`, `dc638ab9f`):
`SecureChannelContext.ClientChannelCertificate`,
`ServerChannelCertificate` and `ChannelThumbprint` are `ByteString`, so
the cached per-channel certificate buffer is shared without a copy and
cannot be altered by handlers or classifiers. **Public API change**, see
the new section in `docs/MigrationGuide.md`. The isolation provider's
revalidation snapshot still copies.
- **Session lookup** (`936b28d76`):
`SessionManager.TryGetSessionContext` takes the candidate snapshot
without the bindings lock; the validating check under the lock is
unchanged (2 instead of 4 global lock acquisitions per request).
- Unit tests for `ObjectPool`, the per-request system context cache, the
translation snapshot, `SecureChannelContext` null semantics and a
stopped `FairRequestQueue`; `perf/` follows the repository conventions.

## Testing
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (net10.0): 8386 passed before the `ByteString`
change. After it, 13 secure-session and isolation tests failed; both
causes are fixed in `dc638ab9f` and those tests (25 with their variants)
pass. A full rerun of the Server, Sessions, Core, Redundancy, LDS and
GDS suites on the final commit is in progress.
- Full solution builds for net10.0 and net48; `dotnet format whitespace`
clean.

### o6-automation opcua-benchmarks (sampling, deep pipelines)
Replicated both tests of the [o6-automation
benchmark](https://github.com/o6-automation/opcua-benchmarks) in the
harness (`--scenario counters`, and `read` with 10 clients × N
outstanding), paired against `origin/master`:

| Test | master | this PR |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription sampling, 100 Hz, every item ≥ 99 % of samples, 1 item |
FAIL (75–94 %) | PASS (100 %) |
| same, 1024 items | FAIL (64–73 %) | PASS (99.9 %) |
| same, capacity | — | between 4096 and 6144 items (~410–520k samples/s)
|
| Read, 10 clients × 100 outstanding, None | stalls (0–1.7k req/s) |
121–131k req/s |
| Read, 10 clients × 100 outstanding, SignAndEncrypt | stalls (0 req/s)
| 89–91k req/s |
| Read, 10 clients × 1000 outstanding | channels faulted
(`BadTcpNotEnoughResources`) | 0 errors, ~45–54k req/s |

- **Fixed-rate sampling** (`30b769d13`): the sampling loop waited one
interval after each sample, adding timer overshoot and sampling time to
every cycle; samples now have absolute deadlines.
- **Async response send** (`cdac5c5ca`): `SendResponse` blocked
thread-pool workers on the channel gate; with many requests in flight
the receive loop that was handed the gate waited for a pool thread and
the channel stalled. The TCP, Kestrel TCP and WebSocket listeners now
use `SendResponseAsync`.
- **Backpressure instead of channel fault** (`191cd2ba7`): server
channels stop reading while more than 100 responses are queued and
resume at 50, instead of faulting the channel. Client channels keep
reading. At 10,000 outstanding requests throughput is ~50k req/s with or
without the limit engaged, so the remaining gap to the 100-per-client
case is not the backpressure.

## Not changed
- `SentMessageQueue` deep-clones every `NotificationMessage`. Retained
messages return their pooled payloads on acknowledgement while the
response copy may still be queued for send, and a client can acknowledge
a sequence number before receiving it; the clone keeps a recycled
payload from reaching another session's response. Removing it needs a
send-completion hook from the transport.
- Generated responses allocate a default `ResponseHeader` that is
replaced (~2-3 % of per-request allocation). Fixing it means making
structure fields of every generated type lazily initialized, a
generator-wide change to default values, equality and encoding.

romanett 1fb1134974 Tests: scope MeterListeners to the meter under test (fix flaky ClientBaseTests metrics test) (#4708)
## Problem

`ClientBaseTests.ActivityTraceFlags_Metrics_ShouldRecordMetricsOnly`
failed intermittently in full-suite runs:

```
Expected: "opc.ua.client.request.duration"
But was:  "opc.ua.channel.reconnect.duration"
```

`TelemetryContextBase.CreateMeter()` returns a new `Meter` per call,
named after the calling assembly, so `ClientBase`'s meter and
`ClientChannelManagerMetrics`' meter are both named `Opc.Ua.Core`.
`TestMeterListener` enabled every instrument whose `Meter.Name` matched,
so reconnect-duration measurements from `[Parallelizable]` channel
manager fixtures were recorded and could precede the request duration.

## Fix (test-only)

- `ClientBaseTests.TestMeterListener`: enable instruments only when
`ReferenceEquals(instrument.Meter, meter)`, i.e. the meter instance the
client under test created. Assertions unchanged.
- `CryptoProviderModelTests.AuditorPublishesAProviderMetric`: same flaw
— it enabled every `opc.ua.crypto*` instrument process-wide (fixture is
`ParallelScope.All`), so another auditor's uncertified gauge could
overwrite the observed count. Now scoped to the auditor's own meter
(read via reflection, as `ClientBaseTests` already does for
`ClientBase`).

Other `MeterListener` users reviewed and left as-is: `NodeCacheTests` /
`AdapterMetricsTests` are non-parallel fixtures; channel manager
listeners only assert existence and filter by endpoint tag.

## Verification

- `ClientBaseTests` + `CryptoProviderModelTests`: 4× consecutive, 25/25.
- `FullyQualifiedName~Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.Stack` (net10.0): 2 clean
passes, 3548 passed / 80 skipped. One attempt hung in unrelated
`ClientChannelManagerManagedTests` async tests
(`ReconnectAsyncNotifiesAttachedParticipantsAsync` /
`ReleasingOneLeaseKeepsChannelAliveForOtherAsync`) and was rerun — a
separate intermittent hang.
- net48 build of `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests`: 0 warnings, 0 errors; `dotnet
format whitespace` clean.

romanett d552634258 Enable ECC security policies on net48 via a BouncyCastle raw-ECDH polyfill (#4703)
Closes #4510.

## Summary

OPC UA Part 6 feeds the **raw** ECDH shared secret into HKDF. .NET
Framework only exposes `ECDiffieHellman.DeriveKeyMaterial`, which always
hashes it, so the ECC SecureChannel and user-token policies were
unavailable on `net48` (`SecurityPolicies.GetInfo` returned `null`).

This adds a BouncyCastle polyfill for just that primitive:

-
**`Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates/Org.BouncyCastle/EcdhRawAgreement.cs`**
(`net48` only): an internal `DeriveRawSecretAgreement(this
ECDiffieHellman, ECDiffieHellmanPublicKey)` extension using
`ECDHBasicAgreement`. It returns the X coordinate padded to the field
size, exactly like the .NET 8 BCL method. Keys stay CNG keys; ECDSA
signatures and HKDF stay on the platform — only the agreement step is
managed code. The point is validated (on curve, not infinity) and
mismatched curves are rejected.
- Because the extension mirrors the .NET 8 signature,
`Nonce.GenerateSecret` now has one code path on every target.
- `SupportsRawEccSecretAgreement()` is removed; the CBC-based ECC
policies (`ECC_nistP256`, `ECC_nistP384`, `ECC_brainpoolP256r1`,
`ECC_brainpoolP384r1`) are offered on every target (still subject to OS
curve support).
- BouncyCastle was already a `net48` dependency of
`Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates`; no new package. (Only `net48` is
downlevel now — `netstandard2.1`/`net472` from the issue text are no
longer targets.)

**Not in scope:** the `_AesGcm` / `_ChaChaPoly` ECC variants (and PubSub
DTLS) still need .NET 8 because .NET Framework has no AEAD ciphers —
follow-up stacked on this branch.

## Docs

`EccProfiles.md` (Known limitations), `migrate/2.0.x/certificates.md`,
`ProductionChecklist.md`, `Profiles.md`, `WhatsNewIn2.0.md`. Calls out
that on `net48` the agreement step does not run in a FIPS/validated
module.

## Tests (local)

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` full, net48 | 5956 passed, 0 failed |
| `EccInteropTests` net48 vs 1.5.378 peer (net8.0, native raw ECDH) | 26
passed; 28 skipped (AEAD + curve25519/448) — all four CBC curves, both
directions, UserName tokens, token renewal |
| `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` ECC filter, net48 | 52 passed, 0 failed |
| Server `SessionCoverageTests`/`EphemeralNonce*`, Configuration builder
tests, net48 | all pass |
| Nonce/ECC/EncryptedSecret + session tests, net10.0 | all pass |

New tests: symmetric agreement on all four curves; on net48 an oracle
against CNG (`SHA256(raw) == DeriveKeyFromHash`); curve mismatch and
off-curve rejection. Tests that asserted the old net48 limitation were
updated.

romanett 9b034f8291 Enable nullable reference types centrally; migrate all unset and annotations-only projects (#4700)
# Description

Nullable reference types are now enabled once, in `common.props`, and
every project in the repository builds warning-clean with them.

**Configuration**
- `<Nullable>enable</Nullable>` lives in `common.props`. All per-project
`<Nullable>` settings are removed: 178 project files (enable,
annotations, and the `disable` in the three Aot test projects).
- 419 per-file `#nullable enable`/`restore` directives and the 4
`#nullable disable` directives are removed.
- Kept on purpose:
- The 5 `<auto-generated>` schema files (`UANodeSet.cs`, `UA Type
Dictionary.cs`, `OPCBinarySchema.cs`, `SecuredApplication.cs`,
`PInvokeHelper.cs`) keep `#nullable enable`. The compiler ignores the
project setting in generated code, so the directive is required there.
- `tests/Opc.Ua.Interop.LegacyPeer` keeps `disable`. It builds against
the 1.5.378 packages and does not import the repository props.
- `docs/DeveloperGuide.md` and `.github/copilot-instructions.md` now
describe the central setting.

**Migration** (the 43 unset and 13 annotations-only projects, roughly
10k diagnostics)
- **Production code: annotated at the declarations.** Covers
`tools/Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core`, `src/Opc.Ua.Lds.Server` and the
LDS sample.
- Members, parameters and returns are nullable where null actually
flows.
- Null-check helpers carry `[NotNullWhen]` (`IsNull`, `IsValidXmlName`,
`IsMethodTypeDesign`).
- `CoreUtils.Format`, `Utils.Format`, `ITemplateWriter.WriteLine` take
`params object?[]`. `Template.AddReplacement` takes `string?` (rendering
already skips null replacements).
- `IRegisteredServerStore.RegisterAsync` returns
`Task<RegistrationEntry?>`: it returns null when a registration is
removed.
- Dereferences backed by an invariant (for example, the validated model)
use `!`, so runtime behaviour is unchanged.
- **Behavioural changes in production code** (small, deliberate):
- `NodeSetToModelDesign` throws `InvalidOperationException` when the
file is not a NodeSet. Before, it threw a NullReferenceException on the
next line.
- `ModelDesignValidator` starts its lookup tables empty instead of null.
A redundant `if (m_nodes == null) return;` guard is gone.
- **Test code: minimal annotations.**
  - `?` on values that can be null, `!` where the test asserts non-null.
  - `= null!` for fixture members assigned in SetUp.
- `TryGetStructure<T>(out T? x)` where the inferred `T?` broke the
`IEncodeable` constraint.
- A few redundant `== null` checks on structs (`NodeId`, `ArrayOf<T>`)
folded into the adjacent `IsNull`/`Count` checks.

**Notes for reviewers**
- The diff is large (~1,500 files) but almost entirely mechanical: `?`,
`!` and directive removal. The non-annotation changes are listed above.
- Known follow-up, not done here:
`IModelDesign.Namespaces/TargetNamespace/NamespaceUris` stay
non-nullable even though the validator returns null before it loads a
dictionary. Making them nullable would ripple through every generator
call site.

romanett b8f07843b2 Secure channel: never answer with an expired token; accept a just-expired one (+ labelled soak/stress CI) (#4698)
## Summary

**Secure channel: a client could drop the channel when the server
answered with a just-expired token.** Running the long-dormant
ConnectionStability soak locally, the subscription channel shut down
with `BadSecureChannelClosed`. The session then timed out and the
subscription was abandoned. Root cause, against OPC 10000-4 §5.6.2.1:

1. **Server (rule 2: use the old token only "until the SecurityToken
expires").** After a renew, the server keeps securing messages with the
old token until the client sends something secured with the new one.
That activation only happened on *receive*. A client that sends nothing,
for example one whose Publish requests are all outstanding, kept getting
responses secured with the old token after it expired.
2. **Client (rule 3: "accept Messages secured by an expired
SecurityToken for up to 25 % of the token lifetime").** The client
rejected any such response the moment the token expired, throwing
`BadTcpSecureChannelUnknown`, and shut the channel down.

From the failing run (token lifetime 10 s): the client renewed to token
#11 at 09:59:01.686 and sent nothing on that channel afterwards. The
server, still on #10, sent a Publish response at 09:59:04.389, 380 ms
after #10 expired. The client rejected it and closed the channel.
Nothing reconnected, the 10 s session timeout expired, and the server
abandoned the subscription.

Both halves date back to the 2016 initial commit; this is not a recent
regression. It hits whenever the client sends nothing on the channel
between renewing and the old token's expiry, so it is timing-dependent.

### Fix
- `UaSCBinaryChannel.ActivateRenewedTokenIfDue()` activates a pending
renewed token once the current one passes `TokenActivationPeriod` (95
%). This is the rule the receive path already applied. It is now shared,
and `TcpServerChannel.SendResponse` calls it before securing a response.
- `ReadSymmetricMessage` accepts responses (not requests) secured with
an expired token for `TcpMessageLimits.TokenExpiryGracePeriod` (25 %) of
its lifetime.

### Tests
`TcpReconnectKeyAgreementTests` now runs the server channel and the peer
on one shared `FakeTimeProvider`:
- `ResponseSentAfterTheCurrentTokenExpiresUsesTheRenewedTokenAsync`: a
response sent at 96 % of the old token's lifetime is secured with the
renewed token.
-
`ResponseSecuredWithTheExpiredTokenIsAcceptedWithinTheGracePeriodAsync`:
accepted at 120 % of the lifetime, rejected at 130 %.

Both fail without the fix. All 40 tests in the fixture pass with it.

## CI: soak and stress runs on labelled PRs (and the soak that tested
nothing)

The bug stayed hidden because `stability-test.yml` still filtered
`Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` after #3810 moved the test to
`Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` (2026-05-28). Since then the nightly has run
**zero tests** while reporting green: runs dropped from ~100 min to ~15
min.

- `stability-test.yml` now targets `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` and writes a
TRX file.
- New `.github/scripts/assert-tests-ran.ps1`, used by all three opt-in
workflows, fails a run in which no test executed, or none passed.
Contract-tested in `CiAssertTestsRanTests`.
- Like `interop`, the opt-in workflows can now run on a labelled PR.
They are not required checks. A later push cancels the run in progress,
and adding an unrelated label neither starts nor cancels a run.

| Label | Workflows | Run on a PR |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `stress` | Stress Tests (ChaosTCP) | Random seed, saved as
`chaos-seed.txt` in the results artifact |
| `soak` | Connection Stability Test, Sample HA Long-Haul Test | 30 min
stability; 15 min per HA scenario |

## Test plan

- [x] `TcpReconnectKeyAgreementTests`: 40/40 pass; the 2 new tests fail
without the fix
- [x] All `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.Stack` tests (net10.0): 3548 passed, 0
failed
- [x] `CiAssertTestsRanTests`: 4/4
- [x] `soak` + `stress` labelled run on this PR (before the fix): both
stability tests, both HA long-haul scenarios and ChaosTCP passed on
Linux (the label triggers and push-cancellation work)
- [x] Local short-haul soak with the fix (Windows, 10 s tokens), 2 runs:

Klaus Landsdorf cc7908eaa1 WebApi: serve a generated OpenAPI document of the REST binding (opt-in) and map the session-less service set (#4657)
Reworked after the review: the OpenAPI document is generated from the
code, not embedded; the route is opt-in; `StatusCode` is not accepted.
The branch is a new history on top of master (the first version
conflicted); master with #4674 is merged in.

# Description

The REST binding implements the routes of the OPC Foundation OpenAPI
mapping (OPC 10000-6 §G.3), but it does not describe them: `GET
/openapi.json` is answered with HTTP 405, and a client generator has
nothing to read from the server. `docs/WebApi.md` listed a generated
OpenAPI document as a deferred follow-up.

The coded API is the source of truth, so this PR **generates** the
document from the route table and from the structure definitions of the
request and response types, and compares it with the document the model
compiler publishes in tests. Nothing from `UA-Nodeset/OpenApi` ships in
the package.

## Changes

### Service sets (`Opc.Ua.Core`)

- `WebApiServiceSet` (`AllServices`, `Sessionless`) and
`WebApiServiceRoutes.GetRoutes(serviceSet)`. `Sessionless` is the eight
services of `opc.ua.openapi.sessionless.json` (OPC 10000-4 §6.3): Read,
Write, HistoryRead, HistoryUpdate, Call, Browse, BrowseNext,
TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds.

### Generator (`Opc.Ua.Core.Schema`, `Opc.Ua.Schema.OpenApi`)

- `WebApiOpenApiGenerator.Generate(serviceSet, includeSchemas,
serverUrl)` returns the OpenAPI 3.0 document as a `JsonObject`. It is
built at runtime from `WebApiServiceRoutes` and the
`StructureDefinition`/`EnumDefinition` of the message types (the same
definitions the schema generation uses, resolved through
`IDataTypeDefinitionResolver`). No reflection, so it is NativeAOT
compatible; the AOT test project covers it.
- **Two levels of detail**, because full schemas make big documents:

  | | Content | All 28 services |
  | --- | --- | --- |
| default | paths, `operationId`s, every body a JSON object | about 12
KB |
| `includeSchemas: true` | one component schema per message, structure
and enumeration (100), for typed client generators | about 46 KB |

  The two published files are about 300 KB together.
- The schemas describe the Compact JSON encoding, with the property
names, types, formats and integer ranges of the published documents.
DataValue is the one structure that differs: its status property is
`Status`, as in Part 6 Table 42.
- `OpenApiBuiltInSchemas` holds the schemas of the built-in types
(StatusCode, LocalizedText, Variant, DataValue, DiagnosticInfo,
ExtensionObject and the scalar types) as the encoder writes them.
Abstract `Structure` fields are ExtensionObjects, abstract number fields
are Variants.

### Serving the document (`Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https`)

- `WebApiTransportOptions`: `ServiceSet`, `OpenApiDocumentPath` (default
`null`: **off**) and `OpenApiIncludeSchemas` (default `false`).
- `MapWebApiEndpoints(WebApiTransportOptions)` maps the routes of the
service set and, when a path is set, the `GET` route of the document
**in the same route group**. The route has no `AllowAnonymous` metadata.
When an authentication scheme is registered, the contributor's
`group.RequireAuthorization()` covers the document like `POST /read`;
only `/findservers` and `/getendpoints` stay anonymous. The existing
`MapWebApiEndpoints()` maps all routes as before.
- The document is generated once per path base (listed as a relative
`servers` URL; without a path base the list is omitted) by the
`WebApiOpenApiGenerator` that `AddWebApiTransport` registers, or by a
default one.
- `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https` references `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema` on net8.0 and
later.

### Documentation

- `docs/OpenApi.md` (new, linked from `docs/README.md`): serving the
document, the two levels, generating clients, the JSON generated clients
send, known issues, how the document is kept correct, troubleshooting.
- `docs/WebApi.md`: new section "Service sets and the OpenAPI document";
the deferred follow-up is removed. `docs/SchemaGeneration.md` and both
`NugetREADME.md` files describe the generator and the options.

## Comparison with the model compiler documents

The two published documents are test resources of
`Opc.Ua.Core.Schema.Tests` only (README next to them: source commit and
update procedure). `WebApiOpenApiConformanceTests` compares the
generated document with them for both service sets:

- paths, `operationId`s, and the request and response schema of every
operation;
- the set of component schemas the operations reach: equal (100 for all
services);
- every enumeration (members and values);
- for every structure: property names, types, formats, integer ranges,
and inheritance.

Everything both describe is equal. The test lists the differences and
fails when a listed one disappears or a new one appears:

| Difference | Generated | Published | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| DataValue status property | `Status` | `StatusCode` | Part 6 Table 42;
UA-Nodeset#146 is open. The stack only knows `Status` (encoder and
decoder). |
| `description`, `default` keywords | not written | spec links, .NET
defaults | documentation and defaults, not contract; Compact omits
default values |

`WebApiOpenApiWireFormatTests` validates what the binding really writes
(the default request and response of all 28 routes, plus populated
requests and responses with variants, status codes, references, identity
tokens and notifications) against the generated component schemas.

## Tests

- `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema.Tests` `OpenApi/`: `WebApiOpenApiGeneratorTests`
(shape of the document, both levels, both service sets, servers list,
sorting and determinism, concurrency, argument and resolver errors,
every built-in type, arrays and ranks, enumerations, option sets,
unions, base types, self-references, unknown definitions),
`WebApiOpenApiConformanceTests`, `WebApiOpenApiWireFormatTests`,
`OpenApiBuiltInSchemasTests`: 81 tests.
- `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests`:
`WebApiOpenApiDocumentEndpointTests` (TestServer with the startup
contributor: off by default, configured path, both levels, service set
maps and describes only the sessionless routes, path base, repeated
requests, registered generator is used, **a request without credentials
gets 401 when an authentication scheme is registered while one with
credentials gets 200, the route carries `IAuthorizeData` and no
`IAllowAnonymous`**, argument checks), options defaults and DI
registration of the generator.
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests`: `GetRoutes` for both sets and an undefined value.
- `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests`: the generator and a served document under the AOT
fixture.
- Results (macOS arm64): `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema.Tests` 260/260,
`Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests` 457/457, `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` WebApi
tests 110/110, each on net10.0 and net8.0 (Release). `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests`
(JIT run) SchemaAotTests 5/5, WebApiAotTests 8/8.
- `Opc.Ua.Core`, `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema` and `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https` and
the three test projects build for net48, net8.0, net9.0 and net10.0
(Release) with 0 warnings and 0 errors (net48 builds only; the Windows
legs of the fork CI run its tests). `dotnet format` whitespace, style
and analyzers (`--severity info`) are clean on every changed file; the
two `RCS1090` hits in `SchemaAotTests.cs` are on lines that master
already has.
- Patch coverage with `.azurepipelines/check-coverage.ps1` against
master (`Opc.Ua.Core.Schema.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests`
and the WebApi tests of `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests`, net10.0): 362/362 changed
lines covered.
- Fork CI (full matrix incl. macOS) and CodeQL on `f990af5db` (master
with #4674 merged in): [CI run
37310622902](https://github.com/biancode/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/37310622902)
green, [CodeQL run
37310626786](https://github.com/biancode/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/37310626786)
green. The run on the earlier head `abda0e491` had one failure outside
this PR:
`McpServerProcessTests.HttpTransportAliasesExposeOnlyMcpRouteAsync("http")`
timed out after 30 s on Windows net10.0; this PR does not touch
`tools/`.

## Not in this PR

- Authentication: the fix discussed in the review is @romanett's #4674.
The document route uses whatever the REST routes use; this PR does not
change authentication.
- `StatusCode` tolerance in the decoder: dropped, the spec text is the
reference. The first commit of the previous version is gone.
- Samples.
- Session-less invocation on the server side (OPC 10000-4 §6.3) is a
separate draft PR. With `ServiceSet = Sessionless` this PR only limits
the mapped routes and the document.

## Questions

1. `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https` now references `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema` (net8.0
and later) because the generator lives next to the other schema
generators and is trimmed away when unused. Fine, or should it move into
`Opc.Ua.Core`?
2. Should `OpenApiIncludeSchemas` default to `false` as here, or should
a host get typed clients out of the box?

romanett 7212607f16 OPC UA Part 3 compliance: permissions, Write semantics, NodeManagement, NodeSet DataTypes, locales (#4675)
# Description

Fixes the High and Medium findings of an OPC UA Part 3 (OPC 10000-3,
Address Space Model) compliance audit. Each finding was checked against
the full spec text (Parts 3, 4, 5, 6, 14 and 18) before it was fixed.
Every fix comes with regression tests that fail without it.

### Role permissions (Part 3 §8.55, Part 4 §5.12.2.2)
- The type-hierarchy exemption in
`MasterNodeManager.ValidateRolePermissions` /
`ValidateAccessRestrictions` now covers only Browse, Read and
ReadRolePermissions. Type nodes stay visible to generic clients, which
was the intent of #3705; every other permission bit is now enforced on
them.
- `ReceiveEvents` is enforced on the EventType node. The standard
NodeSet grants it on `AuditEventType` and its subtypes only to
SecurityAdmin, so only SecurityAdmin sessions now receive audit events.
- Call checks the `Call` permission and AccessRestrictions on the Object
as well as on the Method.
- When a Call's `methodId` is the Method declaration of the ObjectType,
the Object's Method with the same BrowseName is permission-checked and
invoked. The declaration is used only if the Object has no such Method.
This applies to `AsyncCustomNodeManager`, `CustomNodeManager2` and the
sample node manager.

### Write service (Part 3 §5.6.2, §8.40, §8.57; Part 4 §5.11.4)
- The synchronous `OnWriteValue` path (fluent `OnWrite`) checks DataType
and ValueRank first (`Bad_TypeMismatch`). After an IndexRange write it
merges the slice into the cached value instead of replacing it.
- StatusWrite / TimestampWrite are enforced (`Bad_WriteNotSupported`).
- Undefined enumeration values and invalid OptionSet writes return
`Bad_OutOfRange`. OptionSet writes merge only the valid bits into the
stored value.
- New `ReportPropertyValueChanged` / `ReportSemanticChange` let server
code raise SemanticChangeEvents for changes it makes itself.
- Required follow-up (Part 14 §6.2.11.1): if an external target rejects
a timestamp, the PubSub subscriber's TargetVariables writer retries
without it.

### NodeManagement and Call arguments (Part 3 §5.5.2, §5.7.3, §6.4.2;
Part 4 §5.8, §5.12.2)
- AddNodes creates the Mandatory InstanceDeclarations of the
TypeDefinition and rejects abstract or Interface types
(`Bad_TypeDefinitionInvalid`).
- AddReferences, DeleteReferences and DeleteNodes bump NodeVersion and
raise GeneralModelChangeEvents.
- Clients may omit trailing optional input arguments
(`HasOptionalInputArgumentDescription`).

### NodeSet DataTypes (Part 3 §5.8.3, §8.48; Part 6 Annex F.12)
- `UANodeSet.Import` completes structure definitions with the base
type's fields (base fields first). It creates definitions for structures
without fields and sets `DefaultEncodingId`.
`StructureDefinition.FirstExplicitFieldIndex` marks the subtype's own
fields.
- `DataTypeState` no longer mutates the stored definition on read.

### Locales (Part 3 §5.2.5, §8.5; Part 4 §5.4)
- Read, Browse and data change notifications return the translation that
best matches the session's LocaleIds, or all translations for `mul`. The
selection lives in the server dispatcher and is built on
`ResourceManager`: the new `TranslateValue` calls the overridable
`Translate`.
- Locale ids are matched case-insensitively, and fallback translations
carry their real locale.

### Client complex types (Part 6 §5.1.7)
- The Reflection.Emit builder encodes only `IsOptional` subtyped fields
as ExtensionObject. It also supports OptionSet subtypes: an unsupported
type is skipped instead of aborting the whole load.
- `TypeInfo.GetXmlName` uses the data type's XML name for dynamic
structures and OptionSets (the XML body element was `<Structure>`). Both
builders now produce identical XML.

## Behaviour changes
All are documented in `docs/MigrationGuide.md`.
- **Audit events:** only SecurityAdmin receives them. The CTT "Auditing
Connections" unit needs a SecurityAdmin user (e.g. sysadmin);
`AuditingOperationTests` was updated.
- **Write timestamps and status:** clients writing a SourceTimestamp or
a non-Good StatusCode get `Bad_WriteNotSupported` unless the Variable
has StatusWrite/TimestampWrite. No variable in `src/` sets these bits.
- **AddNodes:** it rejects abstract types (including `BaseVariableType`
and `BaseEventType`), and new instances now come with child nodes.
- **Call:** the Object needs the Call permission. The Object's own
Method runs even when the call names the type declaration.

## Not included
- Low-severity findings: missing validation on optional services and
author-side NodeSet rules.
- LocalizedText nested inside structures or Variant arrays, and in
HistoryRead or Call outputs.

## Testing
net10.0, Debug, one suite at a time on the merged branch. All suites
below pass:

| Suite | Passed |
|---|---|
| Types | 11430 |
| Core.Encoders | 2947 |
| Core.Schema | 179 |
| Core.Security | 558 |
| Client | 2761 |
| Server | 8210 |
| InformationModel | 1080 |
| Features | 145 |
| History | 536 |
| Di | 455 |
| Machinery | 167 |
| Robotics | 661 |
| Robotics.Intent | 22 |
| Pumps | 75 |
| Scales | 122 |
| Positioning | 69 |
| ISA95 | 144 |
| Vision | 484 |
| PubSub | 1490 |
| PubSub.Adapter | 151 |
| PubSub.Server | 177 |
| Redundancy.Server | 856 |
| Lds | 173 |
| Configuration | 241 |
| WotCon | 1496 |

- **Client.ComplexTypes:** one test wrote a SourceTimestamp to a
variable without TimestampWrite. It is fixed in this PR, and the suite
has not been re-run since.
- **Core:** 6068 passed, 1 failure in
`ActivityTraceFlags_Metrics_ShouldRecordMetricsOnly`. That telemetry
test passed when re-run alone, so it looks flaky.
- **Still running:** Sessions, Subscriptions (Classic, Durable,
standard) and Interop. Results will follow on this PR.
- `UA.slnx` builds with 0 errors for net10.0 and net48, with no new
analyzer warnings in changed files.

romanett 3bb0cd8d55 Fix ComplexTypes interop and TCP channel dispose CI flakes (#4663)
# Description

Fixes two intermittent CI failures on master.

## Interop: `LegacyClientExtendedCheckAsync("ComplexTypes")` /
`LoadAndDecodeLegacyComplexTypesAsync`

Flaky since #4630. The node reported as "not decoded" is always
`Data_*_UserScalar_VariantValue` (ns=5;i=2340 on the 2.0 reference
server, ns=3;i=3104 on the 1.5 one). Its DataType is the
BaseDataType-derived `VariantDataType`, and `TestDataSystem` fills it
with `DataGenerator.GetRandomVariant()`. About 2.4 % of the time that
draw is an `ExtensionObject` with a random TypeId (e.g. `s=香蕉`) that no
client can decode. Both checks counted every ExtensionObject of a
variable with a non-ns0 DataType as a structure.

**Fix:** both checks now count only variables whose DataType derives
from `Structure`. They browse the `HasSubtype` closure of `Structure` to
decide this.
- In the 2.0 test, the browse-with-continuation loop moved into a shared
`BrowseAsync` helper.
- In the 1.5 peer, the existing Structure-subtype walk in
`DiagnoseEncodingNodesAsync` moved into `BrowseStructureSubtypesAsync`,
which both places now use.

Seen in master CI for fbdd0af, 5d26681 and c801ac1. Locally, pristine
master failed 2 of 16 runs; with this change, 20 of 20 repeated runs of
both tests passed.

## Core: `SecureClientAndTcpListenerExchangeSignedEncryptedRequestAsync`
— "Collection was modified"

`TcpTransportListener.Dispose` took a snapshot of `m_channels.Values`
and then called `Clear()`. In between, `ChannelClosed` on the receive
thread could still `TryRemove` the same channel. Both threads then
believed they owned the `TcpServerChannel`, and
`UaSCUaBinaryChannel.Dispose` had no once-guard, so both disposed the
certificate chain.

**Fix:**
- The listener claims each channel with `TryRemove`. Whichever side
removes a channel is the one that disposes it.
- `UaSCUaBinaryChannel.Dispose()` runs once, guarded by
`Interlocked.Exchange`. The guard sits in the public `Dispose()` rather
than `Dispose(bool)` because `TcpServerChannel` and
`UaSCUaBinaryClientChannel` release certificates before they chain to
the base class. CA1063 is suppressed there with a justification,
following the `ReverseConnectManager` precedent.

This race could not be reproduced locally (0 failures in 4,800
iterations), so the fix rests on code inspection. All 789 Core
`Stack.Transport` / `Stack.Tcp` tests pass on net10.0.

romanett d98eb6b28c Fix server session defects found by a spec-checked review of CreateSession, ActivateSession, session lifecycle and continuation points (#4632)
# Description

Fixes defects found by a spec-checked review of the server session
implementation: CreateSession, ActivateSession, the session lifecycle
(per-request validation, CloseSession, Cancel, timeout, shutdown) and
session continuation points. Each finding was checked against OPC
10000-4 (§5.7, §7.9, §7.32), OPC 10000-5 (session diagnostics and audit
events) and OPC 10000-6 §6.8.2.

There is one commit per finding, and each commit message cites the spec
section. A max-effort code review of the fixes then found 15 more
issues, mostly regressions the first round introduced; they are fixed in
the `revfix` merges.

## What changed

**CreateSession**
- At MaxSessionCount the oldest session that was never activated is
closed to make room (§5.7.2.1). Sessions that are activated, already
closing, or have an activation in flight are never evicted. The victim
is claimed atomically, so a late activation commit on it is rejected.
- `requestedSessionTimeout` NaN is revised. A malformed `endpointUrl` no
longer fails the call with Bad_UnexpectedError. `serverUri` is ignored,
as §5.7.2.2 requires.
- Unnamed sessions get distinct names.
- Session diagnostics now report `MaxResponseMessageSize` and
`ServerUri`, and `SessionSecurityDiagnostics.Encoding` uses the
specified names ("UA Binary", "XML", "JSON").
- AuditCreateSessionEvent carries SecureChannelId and the request
certificate, also on failure.
- Every rejected CreateSession is counted, and only once. A rejection
during server startup no longer turns into Bad_UnexpectedError.
- If an `OnApplicationCertificateError` override accepts an error, the
certificate is now kept and the remaining checks still run. A
certificate accepted this way does not grant TrustedApplication or
application-based roles.

**ActivateSession**
- EphemeralKey handling follows OPC 10000-6 §6.8.2:
- A key used to decrypt a UserName or IssuedToken secret is retired and
replaced in the same commit.
  - A key that was not used is kept, and nothing is returned.
- ECDHPolicyUri is honoured; an unsupported policy gets
Bad_SecurityPolicyRejected.
  - Request parameters are no longer echoed back.
- After the activation commits, a failure or cancellation no longer
faults the response, which would hide the new server nonce. Post-commit
callbacks run uncancellably.
- An activation that overlaps a session close or timeout fails with
Bad_SessionClosed instead of returning Good.
- The PolicyId of an AnonymousIdentityToken is validated.
- Status codes now follow §5.7.3.3:
- Bad_ApplicationSignatureInvalid for a mismatched client-signature
algorithm
- Bad_UserSignatureInvalid for a mismatched X509 user-token signature
algorithm
- Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid for an undecodable token or an unknown policy
- `ClientUserIdOfSession` keeps the user of the first activation.

**Lifecycle and requests**
- Requests on an expired or closing session are rejected with
Bad_SessionClosed (§5.7.2.1). A CloseSession on an expired session that
is not yet closing is still processed as the client's close and honours
`deleteSubscriptions`.
- Closing a session aborts its outstanding requests with
Bad_SessionClosed. A request that registers after that abort pass is
rejected too.
- Cancel completes the matching requests with
Bad_RequestCancelledByClient (§5.7.5.1). It also reaches requests still
waiting in the request queue, but only when both timestamps prove the
request was sent earlier.
- There is one AuditCancelEvent per Cancel call, carrying the client's
audit entry id and user.
- Every close path goes through a single close claim, so
SessionAbortCount, SessionTimeoutCount and the "Session/Terminated" and
"Session/Timeout" audits are each counted once.
- Teardown that started cannot be cancelled. Requests rejected by
session validation are counted.

**Continuation points**
- HistoryRead returns Bad_NoContinuationPoints instead of evicting
points of the same request (§7.9). Only the request that saved a point
pins it, so points from prior requests can still be freed.
- Points saved by a HistoryRead that faults are released.
- Session-less Browse and BrowseNext no longer dereference a null
session.

## Behaviour changes reviewers should know about
- At the session cap, CreateSession evicts a non-activated session
instead of returning Bad_TooManySessions. The eviction is counted in
SessionAbortCount.
- Clients see Bad_SessionClosed for requests on expired or closing
sessions, and Bad_RequestCancelledByClient for cancelled requests.
- `ActivateSessionProcessAdditionalParameters` is now called on every
successful activation, with or without an AdditionalHeader.
- If an `OnApplicationCertificateError` override returns instead of
throwing, CreateSession now accepts the certificate.
- Timeout and termination audits are now raised after the session
teardown.
- The only public API changes are additive overloads in `AuditEvents`
and `RequestManager`.

**Known partial fixes:**
- The session's `maxResponseMessageSize` is reported but not enforced;
only the channel limit applies.
- With overlapping ActivateSession calls on one session, an earlier
response can still carry a key that a later activation has already
replaced. Closing that fully needs a new `ISession` member.

## Related Issues

- The Redundancy.Server session-mirroring findings from the same review
are tracked separately in #4627.

## Tests
- Regression tests cover each finding. The new files are:
  - `CreateSessionSpecRegressionTests`
  - `ActivateSessionValidationRegressionTests`
  - `StandardServerActivateSessionRegressionTests`
  - `SessionLifecycleRegressionTests`
  - `SessionRequestAdmissionRegressionTests`
  - `HistoryReadContinuationDispatchTests`
  
  Existing test classes were extended too.
- Local results on net10.0:
  - `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests`: 7883 passed / 0 failed / 5 skipped
- `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests`: 790 passed / 0 failed / 379 skipped (same as
master)
- net48 Release build of `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests`: 0 errors / 0 warnings.

romanett 61edaa1ed0 Remove netstandard2.1 and net472 target frameworks (#4624)
# Description

Drops support for **netstandard2.1** and **.NET Framework 4.7.2**.
Libraries now target `net48`, `net8.0`, `net9.0` and `net10.0`.
`Opc.Ua.Types` and `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core` still also target
`netstandard2.0`, but only because the Roslyn source generators load
them. There is no general netstandard2.0 support.

**Preprocessor directives** (112 files)
- Every `#if`/`#elif` mentioning `NETSTANDARD2_1*`, `NET472*`,
`NET_STANDARD_TESTS`, `SKIP_ECC_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST_SIGNING` or
`NETSTANDARD*` was evaluated against the remaining TFM set (net48,
net8/9/10, plus netstandard2.0 inside `Opc.Ua.Types`/`tools`) and
simplified. Dead branches were removed.
- Example: `NETSTANDARD2_1 || NET8_0_OR_GREATER` → `NET8_0_OR_GREATER`.
- Example: `NET8_0_OR_GREATER || NET472_OR_GREATER` → removed (always
true).
- Netstandard-only code was removed: `UnixFileModeShim`, the CRDT
reflection path in `ReplicatedGossipOptions.CreateReaderOptions`, and
the netstandard2.1-only test variants.

**Custom test logic**
- `targets.props` drops the `net472`, `netstandard2.0` and
`netstandard2.1` `CustomTestTarget` profiles, `NetStandardTests` and
`SKIP_ECC_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST_SIGNING`. Supported values are now
`net48`, `net8.0`, `net9.0`, `net10.0`.
- The `NET_STANDARD_TESTS` define is removed from 29 test projects.
- The "build netstandard shells as net10.0" overrides are removed from
18 projects.
- `RestrictForLegacyTfm` now only applies to `net48`.
- `tests/customtest.bat` is updated to the new values.

**Build / packaging / CI**
- MSBuild TFM conditions are simplified: Kestrel package choice, MQTTnet
v4 (net48 only), BouncyCastle, Di/OpenUsd/Vision/Stress test excludes,
and `System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl` (dropped from Core).
- The MigrationAnalyzer nuspec drops its net472/netstandard2.1 lib
groups. The Azure signing lists are updated.
- `get-ci-matrix.ps1` removes the net472/netstandard test profiles
(including the PR-gating `linux-netstandard2.1`) and the matching build
legs.

**Breaking API change (2.0 preview):** removed
`HttpsTransportListener.IsWssTransportSupported` and
`ReplicatedGossipOptions.IsGossipStateDecodingSupported`. They only
returned `false` on netstandard2.1 and are now always `true`. The test
guards that used them were removed as well.

**Docs**
- NuGet READMEs, `README.md`, `DeveloperGuide.md`, `PubSub.md`, the
certificate/ECC/identity docs and the 2.0 migration guide (plus its
`.agents` skill mirror) are updated.
- The migration guide notes that 4.7.2 consumers must move to 4.8 and
netstandard2.1 consumers to net8.0+.

### Reviewer notes
- The `System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl` `PackageVersion` pin is left
in `Directory.Packages.props`. It has no direct reference any more, but
transitive pinning is on, so it was kept to avoid shifting resolved
versions.
- The `#if` rewrite was done mechanically by a truth-table evaluator.
The diff in the `.cs` files is limited to directive lines, removed dead
branches, and stale-comment updates.

### Verified locally
- `dotnet build UA.slnx -p:CustomTestTarget=net48`: 0 errors.
- `dotnet build UA.slnx -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0`: 0 errors.
- Default multi-target builds (no `CustomTestTarget`) of Opc.Ua.Types,
Bindings.Https, PubSub.Mqtt and Redundancy.Server succeeded.
- net10.0 tests:
  - Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests: 840/840 passed.
  - Opc.Ua.Types.Tests: 11363 passed, 1 skipped.
  - ModelDependencyScanner tests: 20/20 passed.
- The full test suite was **not** run locally.

romanett 920ebda69b Fix transport channel and encryption audit findings (#4626)
## Summary

Fixes the Critical, High and Medium findings of a read-only audit of the
low-level transport channels (UA-TCP / UASC, HTTPS, WSS, Kestrel TCP,
buffer management) and the encryption layer (key derivation, nonces,
RSA/ECC, EncryptedSecret, security policies). Every finding was traced
in source and checked against the specification (Parts 2, 4, 6, 7)
before fixing.

Scope: 2 Critical, 1 High, 21 Medium → **21 fixed, 3 partial**. Low
findings are not part of this PR.

### Critical / High

**T7-1: HTTPS session isolation (Critical).**
- **Affects:** servers that expose a secured `opc.https` endpoint.
- **Problem:** over HTTPS all clients share one SecureChannel (Part 6
7.4.1), so the session AuthenticationToken is the only thing that keeps
sessions apart. The spec therefore requires it to be at least 32 random
bytes. For secured channels the server issued tokens that are not hard
to predict.
- **Impact:** another client on the same HTTPS endpoint could act within
a session that does not belong to it, with that session's identity and
permissions.
- **Fix:** `SessionManager` now always issues a random 32-byte opaque
token, on every transport (Part 6 7.4.1, Part 4 7.35).

**T1-1: secured client channels could lose their protection
(Critical).**
- **Affects:** opc.tcp clients connecting to Sign or SignAndEncrypt
endpoints.
- **Problem:** the client did not verify that the OpenSecureChannel
response used the security policy and mode it had requested, as Part 4
5.6.2.1 and Part 6 6.7.4 require.
- **Impact:** an attacker in the network path could make a secured
channel continue without message security. The check on the server
signature in CreateSession limits this on first connect. The session
reconnect path has no equivalent check. Traffic of an existing session
could then lose confidentiality and integrity without the application
noticing. Other users of the channel (discovery, registration, custom
service clients) were not protected at all.
- **Fix:** a client channel for a secured endpoint is now bound to the
requested policy and mode. A response with any other policy or mode, or
without the server certificate, faults the channel, on connect and on
reconnect.

**T8-1: Kestrel opc.tcp listener availability (High).**
- **Affects:** servers using `KestrelTcpTransportListener`.
- **Problem:** the listener did not expire idle channels and did not
reclaim unused ones when it reached `MaxChannelCount`, unlike the
classic listener. Part 4 5.6.2.1 requires closing the oldest unused
channel without a session before refusing new ones.
- **Impact:** an unauthenticated peer could exhaust the channel slots
and deny service to legitimate clients.
- **Fix:** activity tracking, an inactivity sweep based on
ChannelLifetime, and reclaiming the least recently used channel without
a session at the limit.

**E2-1: user token decryption errors (Medium, High where lockout is
disabled).**
- **Problem:** the result of a failed user identity token decryption
could reveal more than Part 4 7.40.2.1 allows, which says every
decryption error must look like `Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid`.
- **Mitigation already in place:** the default failed-authentication
lockout limits how this can be used.
- **Fix:** clients now receive only `Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid`, with the
detail logged on the server. Token decryption takes the same steps
whichever check fails.

### Medium
- **Key derivation / sequence numbers:** E1-1/T2-1 renewal XORs the
previous secret only for SecureChannelEnhancements policies (Part 6
6.8.1 Step 2); T2-2 Sign-mode HKDF length uses enc key / IV length 0
(Part 6 6.8.1); T2-3 server chains a second renewal from the pending
renewed token like the client; T2-4 receiver rejects sequence-number
gaps (Part 2 5.1.14).
- **OPN / client channel:** T1-2 (partial) OPN sender certificate
checked against the policy's key family / curve and RSA key-length
window (Part 4 6.1.3, Part 6 6.1); T3-1 renewal completion no longer
blocks on a newer handshake while holding the gate; T3-9 reverse-connect
listener bounded (1000 pending, 500/s, burst 1000).
- **TCP listener / buffers:** T5-1 Basic128Rsa15 abuse tracker fails
open for untracked IPs when full; T5-2 refused connections get
`Bad_TcpNotEnoughResources` after the HEL (Part 6 7.1.2.3); T6-2
(partial) idle sockets no longer hold a receive buffer; T6-3
`AsyncResultBase` completes exactly once, reverse-connect timeout
cancels the connect.
- **HTTPS:** T7-3 chunked request bodies supported (Part 6 7.4.1); T7-4
mTLS CreateSession compares only the leaf certificate and answers a
mismatch with a ServiceFault; T7-5 (partial) opcua+openapi WSS path gets
the discovery-only gate; T7-6 default rate limiter partitioned per
client IP; T7-7 shared Kestrel host owns its TLS certificate and
rotation rebuilds it for all listeners.
- **WSS / Kestrel TCP:** T8-2 SecureChannel and certificate audit events
(Part 4 6.5.5); T8-3 queued senders fail with BadConnectionClosed on
close instead of hanging; T8-4 WSS clients keep the mTLS client
certificate alive; T8-5 WSS+JSON close bounded by timeout and
cancellation.

### Partial / not fixed
- T1-2: missing CertificateSignatureAlgorithm check per chain
certificate, issuer key length ≥ issued key length, and checks on ECC
issuers.
- T6-2: `BufferManagerMemoryLimiter` still blocks the calling thread
when real traffic exhausts the budget (needs an async TakeBuffer API).
- T7-5: the fallback to any SecurityMode=None endpoint stays, because
HTTPS listeners advertise `HttpsOpenApiTransport`.
- Not covered: the HTTPS listener's WSS uacp channels likely need the
same idle cleanup / reclaim as T8-1.
- Not covered: the certificate/policy key check (T1-2) applies to UASC
channels; the opc.https session path is a follow-up.

## Behaviour changes reviewers should look at

**Wire-incompatible with older versions of this SDK (both conform to the
spec now):**
1. Renewals on ECC_nistP256/P384, ECC_brainpoolP256r1/P384r1,
ECC_curve25519/448 no longer mix in the previous secret; a renewal
between this and an older SDK fails on the first message after renewal.
2. Sign-mode channels on those CBC+HMAC ECC policies derive different
keys; Sign-mode channels to older SDKs fail.

**Other:**
3. Every session AuthenticationToken is a 32-byte opaque ByteString
NodeId, on every transport.
4. Any sequence-number gap faults the channel with
`BadSequenceNumberInvalid` (client side previously reported
`BadSecurityChecksFailed`). Only a reconnect OpenSecureChannel may skip
ahead.
5. OPN peer certificates outside the policy's key-length window or with
the wrong key family/curve are rejected (e.g. 4096-bit RSA on Basic256 /
Basic128Rsa15).
6. Refused opc.tcp connections get an ERR after their Hello; a refused
socket can stay open up to 2 s waiting for it.
7. Kestrel opc.tcp listener closes idle channels and, at
MaxChannelCount, the oldest unused channel (BadNoCommunication) instead
of refusing the new client.
8. HTTPS mTLS CreateSession mismatch → ServiceFault
`Bad_SecurityChecksFailed` instead of HTTP 401; oversized HTTPS bodies →
413 instead of 500; default HTTPS rate limit is 100 req/s per client IP.
9. Certificate rotation on a shared (host, port) restarts the shared
Kestrel host once; TLS connections on that port reconnect.
10. `EncryptedSecret.TryDecrypt/TryDecryptAsync` return false on the RSA
branch instead of throwing (public API behaviour); `TryDecryptRsa`
reports `Bad_SecurityChecksFailed` for padding/layout/signature
failures. A KeyData whose encrypted length differs from what the policy
and receiver key imply is rejected the same way, before decryption.
11. Client reverse-connect listener limits pending connections and
connection rate; at its cap the oldest connection that has not sent a
ReverseHello is closed to make room. On opc.wss the cap applies only to
connections not yet handed off.
12. `ApplicationInstance` creates its own RSA application certificate
with at least 2048 bits (except the RsaMin type), even when
`MinimumCertificateKeySize` is lower; that setting only bounds accepted
peers.
13. Kestrel opc.tcp listener: `ChannelLifetime` <= 0 disables the idle
sweep; otherwise the sweep runs at most once per second.
14. Certificate rotation on a shared Kestrel host closes the listener's
WebSocket connections and outbound reverse-connect channels even when
the TLS certificate is unchanged; if the new host fails to start, a host
with the previous TLS certificate is restored and the error is rethrown.
Listeners on the same (host, port) share a Kestrel host only when their
host-level settings (mutual TLS, admission limits, middleware) match;
otherwise the listener uses its own host, as for a TLS certificate
mismatch.
15. On a second renewal before the first renewed token was used, the
server makes the first renewed token current (raising `TokenActivated`
then) instead of dropping it; a reconnect chains from the current token.
16. Sign-only HKDF channels report empty IV/key plus the signing key
length in channel diagnostics and the Wireshark keyset.
17. `UserNameIdentityTokenHandler.DecryptAsync` throws the specific
RSAEncryptedSecret failure; the server still answers clients with a
plain `Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid` and logs the cause.
18. Refused ReverseHello messages up to the maximum valid size also get
the `Bad_TcpNotEnoughResources` reply; `TcpByteTransport` rents receive
buffers at the chunk size.

## Tests

New regression tests for every Critical/High fix fail before the fix.
Tests that pinned old behaviour were updated:
`TcpReconnectKeyAgreementTests`,
`UaSCBinaryChannelSequenceRolloverTests`,
`TcpMessageFailureRegressionTests`,
`TcpTransportListenerDeterministicTests`.

Combined branch, net10.0:

| Suite | Passed | Skipped | Failed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opc.Ua.Core.Tests | 6036 | 88 | 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests | 405 | 0 | 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Server.Tests | 7806 | 5 | 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Client.Tests | 2733 | 0 | 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Gds.Tests | 1234 | 56 | 0 |
| Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests | 790 | 379 | 0 |

net48 builds of the Core, Server, Client and WebApi test projects and
the netstandard2.1 Release build: 0 errors, no new warnings. One
telemetry test (`ActivityTraceFlags_Metrics_ShouldRecordMetricsOnly`)
failed once under parallel load and passes on rerun.

romanett ce88955f70 Harden encoders/decoders against untrusted input and align them with Part 6 / Part 14 (#4599)
# Description

Hardens the encoders and decoders against untrusted input and aligns
them with OPC 10000-6 (1.05) and OPC 10000-14. This comes from an audit
of every codec reachable from a peer:
- Binary, JSON and XML decoders and encoders;
- built-in and complex types;
- UA-TCP/UASC framing;
- PubSub UADP and PubSub JSON.

The audit found 97 issues: 1 critical, 7 high, 39 medium and 50 low.
They are all fixed here, one commit per finding (IDs B1-, J1-, X1-, T1-,
S1-, U1-, P1-, E1-, E2- in the commit subjects). Every fix was then
checked against the spec a second time, and the deviations that re-check
found were fixed as well (`*-spec` commits).

## Security (decoders reachable from unauthenticated peers)

- **Allocation from length prefixes (B1-1, B1-5, U1-1, U1-3).**
- Array, string and byte-string lengths are checked against the bytes
left in the message before anything is allocated.
- Arrays read element by element grow as elements are decoded, so nested
length prefixes can no longer multiply memory.
- UADP discovery counts and chunk reassembly buffers are bounded the
same way.
- **Stack exhaustion.** Nesting is checked for remaining stack
(`RuntimeHelpers.EnsureSufficientExecutionStack` mapped to
`BadEncodingLimitsExceeded`), and the large Variant read/write methods
were split into scalar, array and matrix methods. Measured on 1 MB and
256 KB threads, no codec overflows at the default limits any more.
- **XML element depth (X1-1).** XmlElement values and raw
ExtensionObject bodies are copied node by node with a depth limit,
instead of with the recursive `InnerXml`, `ImportNode`, `InnerText` and
`DeepEquals` calls.
- **Limit bypasses:**
- JSON NodeId, QualifiedName and opaque strings now respect
MaxStringLength and MaxByteStringLength (J1-1).
  - Matrix rank is limited to 32.
  - Decimal size is bounded (T1-3).
  - XML base64 is checked before it is decoded.
  - XML arrays are checked before each element is read.
- **CPU and algorithmic cost:**
- UADP reassembly uses an O(1) overlap check with a per-message chunk
cap (U1-2).
  - PubSub JSON matches fields to metadata through a name index (P1-2).
  - LocalizedText "mul" text is parsed lazily (T1-5).
- Unknown SecurityTokenIds trigger a throttled background SKS refresh
instead of an inline call per datagram (U1-9).
- **PubSub metadata poisoning (P1-1).** Inbound metadata is registered
only for identities a configured reader expects, is capped, and an
unauthenticated message can no longer pin a version.
- **Exception contract.** Decoders fail with `ServiceResultException`
(BadDecodingError / BadEncodingLimitsExceeded) instead of letting
ArgumentException, InvalidOperationException, TypeLoadException and
similar escape.
- **UASC (S1-*):**
  - OPN and CLO must be single final chunks.
  - The certificate of an unsigned OPN is ignored.
  - The padding and ExtraPadding bytes are validated.
- A renewed token is activated only after a chunk has been verified with
it.
- A policy change on renewal is rejected before the channel certificate
is touched.
  - Secured chunk length arithmetic is bounded.

## Wire-visible behaviour changes

All follow the spec exactly; there is no reader for the old forms unless
noted.

- **UA Binary:**
  - Variant type ids 26-31 decode as ByteString.
- Picoseconds without their timestamp are ignored, and values of 10000
and above are clamped to 9999.
- A Null-type Variant with the array flag consumes its length and
dimensions.
- **UA JSON:**
- Messages are ExtensionObjects with the body inline; there is no
`UaBody` envelope any more (5.4.9 / 5.4.2.16).
- The Variant `Value` is omitted exactly for NULLs of nullable types
(Table 41).
  - RawData keeps nested UaType/UaTypeId and the StatusCode Symbol.
  - Duplicate member names are rejected.
  - `{}` decodes as a null ExtensionObject.
- Numbers and identifiers are parsed strictly and culture-independently.
  - QualifiedName follows 5.4.2.14.
  - Opaque bodies of known types carry the DataType id.
  - Enumerations without a literal are written as the number.
- **UA XML:**
  - The earliest DateTime is written as `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z`.
- Null typed scalars and null array elements are written with `xsi:nil`.
  - An ExtensionObject without a body has no `Body` element.
  - Strings XML cannot represent are rejected.
- Only the xs:dateTime and xs:date forms are accepted; a value without a
zone is still read as UTC, because published model files use it.
  - Only the Part 6 Guid form is accepted.
  - Booleans are case-sensitive in XmlDecoder.
- **UA-TCP:**
- OPNC/OPNA/CLOC/CLOA fault the channel. Older releases that split a
long-chain OPN into chunks are rejected, so this needs a release note.
  - The sender truncates the certificate chain to fit a single chunk.
  - The received certificate chain is sized from the chunk size.
- Hello buffer sizes down to 1024 bytes are honoured; below that, an ERR
with Bad_TcpInternalError is sent.
- A 4096-byte Error reason is accepted, and the SecurityPolicyUri limit
is 255 bytes.
- **PubSub UADP:**
- Chunk NetworkMessages use the Part 14 7.2.4.4.4 layout, and each chunk
is secured on its own with its own sequence number.
  - The Sizes array is part of the secured payload.
- Padded RawData keeps its length prefix, and null values are written as
-1.
  - DataSetMessages with the valid bit clear are skipped.
  - Null discovery arrays are accepted.
- **PubSub JSON:**
- Variants use `UaType`/`Value`, with the 7.2.5.4.2 top-level collapse.
The deprecated `Type`/`Body` form is still read.
- Status is written as a `{Code,Symbol}` object; a numeric Status is
still accepted.
  - Discovery messages follow Tables 188-192, with GUID MessageIds.
  - Enumeration fields are written as `Name_Value`.
  - Fields appended with a MinorVersion bump are accepted.

## Known deviations and limitations (documented, not changed)

- A known type whose ExtensionObject XML body fails to decode fails the
message, like a failing binary body. 5.2.2.15 only says the decoder
*should* continue, and continuing reopens the log-flooding path.
- Reserved Variant type ids 26-31 are passed to the application as
ByteString without the raw type id.
- JSON UaTypeId of an opaque body of an *unknown* type stays the
encoding id, because no type system is available to map it.
- PubSub JSON encoder:
- Structure fields without a subtype are still wrapped with a UaType,
and concrete multi-dimensional or abstract-rank fields still carry a
UaType (Table 186).
- Namespace-0 enumerations without EnumDataTypes are written as a
numeric string.
- Chunked transcoded frames have no writer group, so their sequence
numbers continue from the source number.
- Pre-existing and out of scope: the HTTPS JSON binding uses
Content-Type `application/opcua+uajson`, while 1.05 7.4.5 requires
`application/json`.

## Tests

- Every fix has a regression test.
- Tests that pinned non-conformant behaviour were updated, and their
commit messages say so.
- Fuzz seeds were regenerated where the wire changed.

Local results:
net10.0, 27 suites green (Types 11354, Core.Encoders 2933, Encoders.Fuzz
8112, Core 5955 + 1 known intermittent ActivityTraceFlags metrics test

net10.0 and net48.

romanett 0b9af4db34 Fix flaky BuilderDisposesOwnedHttpProviderAndChannelManagerAsync on net48 (#4597)
## Problem


`ManagedSessionResourceOwnershipTests.BuilderDisposesOwnedHttpProviderAndChannelManagerAsync`
failed on net48 in [run
36598770373](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/36598770373)
(job `test-windows-net48 (5/30)`, on PR #4595, which only touches
`version.json`). It failed after 12.1 s with a `TaskCanceledException`.

This was not a disposal problem. The TRX shows that `ConnectAsync` never
finished:

- The shared channel entered `TransportConnecting` and never reached
`Ready`.
- After 10 s the test's connect deadline cancelled
`ConnectionStateMachine.WaitForConnectedAsync`, with
`ClientChannelManager.GetCoreAsync` still waiting on the open.
- The open was still running after the shutdown token was cancelled, so
it was stuck on something that ignores cancellation.
- On passing runs this test takes about 0.4 s on CI.

## Root cause

While opening, `WebApiTransportChannel` sends a sessionless
`GetEndpoints` to fill in the endpoint description. That request goes to
the test's scripted `HttpMessageHandler`. On .NET Framework the handler
read the request body with the tokenless `ReadAsByteArrayAsync()`. For a
`ByteArrayContent` this copies the bytes through `Stream.BeginWrite`,
which runs on a thread-pool thread. On a starved runner the read can
therefore stall indefinitely. Because it cannot be cancelled, it
outlasts both the channel's own 6 s `GetEndpoints` timeout and the
test's 10 s deadline. On net8+ the handler already passes the token.

## Proof

- **Non-cancellable 12 s delay** injected at that point in the handler:
reproduces the CI failure exactly. The channel sits in
`TransportConnecting` for 10 s, then `TaskCanceledException` is thrown
from `WaitForConnectedAsync`.
- **Cancellable 12 s delay** at the same point: the channel's 6 s
`GetEndpoints` timeout cuts it off, the channel opens and the test
passes.
- **Probe on net48:** `ReadAsByteArrayAsync()` on the request content
never completes synchronously, while `ReadAsStreamAsync()` on a
`ByteArrayContent` always does.

The product's own response reading (`HttpResponseBodyReader`) already
uses `ReadAsStreamAsync` and passes the token, so only the test handler
is affected.

## Fix

On .NET Framework the handler now reads the content stream, which
`ByteArrayContent` creates synchronously, and copies it in memory. There
is no thread-pool hop left in the handler.

## Testing

`ManagedSessionResourceOwnershipTests` passed 15 of 15 runs on net48 and
15 of 15 on net10.0. Before the fix, the test also passed 150 repeats
locally, including under full CPU load.

## Summary

Bug audit of `Opc.Ua.Core`, `Opc.Ua.Core.Types`, `Opc.Ua.Types` and
`Opc.Ua.Core.Schema`, with the findings fixed and the fixes grounded
against the OPC UA specification (reference.opcfoundation.org). 133
commits in four groups:

1. **Audit fixes** (`Fix <ID>: ...`): 116 findings from a read-only
audit, each with a regression test. IDs follow the audit scopes: T1-T6
`Opc.Ua.Types`, C1-C4 `Opc.Ua.Core`, S1 `Opc.Ua.Core.Types` +
`Opc.Ua.Core.Schema`.
2. **Review fixes** (`Fix review <ID>: ...`): issues a code review of
group 1 found, plus lower-severity leftovers.
3. **Spec fixes** (`Spec: #<n> ...`): the 18 places where an earlier fix
only partly matched the spec text.
4. Test and analyzer follow-ups.

Where `master` (#4516, #4522, #4540, #4564) or #4569 already fixed the
same issue, their version was kept and this PR only adds what they
didn't cover.

## Behaviour and user-facing changes

### Wire format and interoperability (breaking)
- **PubSub AES-CTR (Aes128-CTR / Aes256-CTR)** now follows Part 14
Tables 156/157:
- The counter block is `KeyNonce[4] | MessageNonce[8] |
BlockCounter[4]`, and the block counter starts at 1.
- The SecurityHeader nonce is 8 bytes: `Random[4] | UInt32
SequenceNumber`, with the sequence number starting at 1.
  - SKS key data is split with a 4-byte KeyNonce, giving 52 / 68 bytes.
- **Not interoperable with earlier releases of this stack**, but matches
the spec. There is a test against the independent RFC 3686 vector.
- **User token signature** (Part 4 6.1.8):
- The signed data is now built from the user token policy's
SecurityPolicy on both client and server.
- It also supports the SecurityMode None layout `ServerNonce |
HASH(ServerCertificate) | ClientNonce`.
- New overload `SecurityPolicyInfo.GetUserTokenSignatureData(...,
MessageSecurityMode)`.
- **Secure channel:**
- The ECC AEAD `LastSequenceNumber` is correct across the 32-bit
sequence wrap (Part 6 6.8.1).
  - The incoming chunk counts against MaxChunkCount/MaxMessageSize.
- The sender no longer lets a message through that is 24 bytes over
MaxMessageSize.
- The OPN response signature is verified without overrunning the buffer
(RSA_DH with differing key sizes).

### Sessions (server)
- **CreateSession nonce:**
- The client nonce is kept on None channels, because the None-mode user
token signature covers it.
- A nonce over 128 bytes returns `Bad_NonceInvalid` on every channel
(Part 4 5.7.2.3).
  - The duplicate-nonce check runs only on secured channels.
- A non-empty nonce under 32 bytes is still accepted on None, for
compatibility.
- **ActivateSession:** an embedded `EccEncryptedSecret` signing
certificate is validated with the server's peer certificate validator
(Part 6 6.8.3). Byte equality with the client certificate is only the
fallback when no validator is available. New opt-in interface
`ICertificateValidatorProvider`.
- **FindServers / GetEndpoints:** `GatewayServerUri` and
`DiscoveryProfileUri` are no longer swapped.

### Write, Read and Call (NodeState / node managers)
- **UserWriteMask:**
- Enforced for non-value attributes and for VariableType Value writes
(`ValueForVariableType`), returning `Bad_UserAccessDenied`.
- An unconfigured UserWriteMask (0, no handler) is not enforced, and
reads back as the WriteMask so Read and Write agree (Part 3 8.60).
- A throwing or Bad `OnReadUserWriteMask` handler fails only that item.
- **Index-range writes:**
- Slices are merged into the cached value under the attribute lock, also
for `OnWriteValueAsync` handlers.
- A data-change notification is still produced when the cache cannot
absorb the slice.
- The slice must match the unclipped range, otherwise
`Bad_IndexRangeDataMismatch` (new status code in `Opc.Ua.Types`).
  - A range past the target returns `Bad_IndexRangeNoData`.
- A handler without index-range support returns `Bad_WriteNotSupported`
(Part 4 7.27, 5.11.4.4).
- **Index-range reads on matrices** return partial results clipped to
the source, instead of allocating the requested size (a Read with
`"0:40000,0:40000"` no longer allocates about 1.6e9 elements).
- **DataTypeDefinition writes:**
- A value that isn't a decoded DataTypeDefinition, or whose kind doesn't
match the DataType category, returns `Bad_TypeMismatch`.
  - Null is rejected for concrete Structure/Enumeration/OptionSet types.
  - WriteMask is checked first (Part 3 5.8.3).
- **AnalogItem:** a null write skips the InstrumentRange check again.
- **Method call:** the async fallback passes the ObjectId to the method
handlers.
- **Redundancy:** `DistributedValueParticipation` merges index-range
writes and applies the index range on reads.
- **Change masks:** `ClearChangeMasks` takes the bits atomically, so
concurrent changes are no longer lost.
- **`AccessLevelEx`:** preserved by Clone/Export.

### Alarms & Conditions (Part 9)
- **Acknowledge / Confirm / AddComment:**
- Accept any EventId the condition or its branches reported while that
state is still pending (5.7.3).
  - An unknown id returns `Bad_EventIdUnknown`.
- An already handled state returns `Bad_ConditionBranchAlreadyAcked` /
`...AlreadyConfirmed`.
- AddComment on a branch no longer changes the trunk, and the branch
table is re-keyed when a branch's EventId changes.
- **Shelving:**
  - OneShotShelve without MaxTimeShelved no longer overflows the timer.
- A timed shelve is measured on the monotonic clock, so wall-clock steps
don't delay the unshelve.
  - The state is named `OneShotShelved`.
- **Audit events:**
  - They report failure for rejected method calls.
  - `SelectedResponse` is a UInt32.
  - A rejected negative Respond leaves SelectedResponse unset.
- **`ContentFilterElement.Validate`:** an unknown FilterOperator is
reported per element as `Bad_FilterOperatorInvalid`, instead of failing
the whole service call.

### ContentFilter evaluation (Part 4 7.7.3, on top of #4564)
- **Bitwise operators:**
  - The result takes the size of the larger operand.
- Boolean, numeric String and one-element array operands are converted
to integers implicitly.
  - Types without an implicit integer conversion give NULL.
- **Strings:** ordering is ordinal, no longer culture dependent.
- **Cast:** restricted to the Table 121 conversions, and QualifiedName
to LocalizedText is added. The general `Variant.ConvertTo` keeps its
wider set.
- **Null and empty operands:**
  - `Like` with a NULL operand is NULL.
  - Empty arrays of the same DataType compare equal.
  - Null-string operands are NULL everywhere.

### Encoders and built-in types
- **XML:**
- Strings keep leading, trailing and whitespace-only content (Part 6
5.3.1.5). NodeSet import opts back into treating whitespace-only strings
as empty with the new `XmlDecoder.TreatWhitespaceOnlyStringsAsEmpty`.
- Layout whitespace around `<Identifier>` values is ignored, and
trailing control characters are stripped from `s=` ids.
  - `XmlElement` ignores DTDs without expanding entities.
- **JSON:**
  - A DateTime without an offset is read as UTC.
- An unmappable `nsu=` NodeId and an unknown `svu=` ExpandedNodeId
decode to a namespace-0 String NodeId (5.4.2.10 / 5.4.2.11).
  - `svr=` is rejected in a NodeId field.
  - Bad matrix dimensions return `BadDecodingError`.
  - The non-strict body stack stays balanced after an error.
  - The nesting limits match between encoder and decoder.
- **Binary:**
  - `MaxByteStringLength` no longer applies to strings.
- ExtensionObject bodies count toward the nesting limit on seekable
streams (and in the XML encoder).
- **Parsing:**
  - The NodeId parser requires `i=`/`s=`/`g=`/`b=`.
  - `ExpandedNodeId.Parse` rejects an empty `nsu=`/`svu=`.
  - NumericRange rejects a trailing `,` with `Bad_IndexRangeInvalid`.
  - RelativePath escapes `#`.
- **Status codes:** `StatusCode.WithSubCode`/`WithCodeBits` keep the
severity bits and look up the symbolic id for the new code.
- **Variant / VariantHelper:**
- `TryCastTo` returns false on a type mismatch. So
`DataValue.GetValue<T>(default)` returns the default, and
`GetValueOrDefault` / `CastTo` throw `BadTypeMismatch` as documented.
  - `System.DateTime` casts are supported.
  - Concrete encodeable arrays (e.g. `Argument[]`) no longer throw.
- `ConvertTo` keeps one-element and empty arrays as arrays and checks
the conversion is legal for empty arrays.
- `CastFrom(object[])`, `CastFrom(Enum[])` and the obsolete
`Variant(object)` constructors keep the array shape (previously a
one-element array collapsed to a scalar and an empty one to Null).
- `TypeInfo.Unknown` / `Variant.Null.TypeInfo` report `ValueRanks.Any`.
- **Equality and hashing contracts fixed:**
- Types: Matrix/MatrixOf, typed-null Variants, NodeId (the namespace
index is now hashed), ExpandedNodeId, LocalizedText, DiagnosticInfo,
StructureDefinition/EnumDefinition, CertificateIdentifier, UserIdentity
and DateTimeUtc.
  - `MatrixOf.Dimensions` returns a copy.
  - Decimal equality and hashing now run in bounded time.
- **Localized text:** a LocalizedText with locale `"mul"` and no usable
translations, or null client locale ids, no longer throw.

### NodeSet, address space and utilities
- **NodeSet export/import:**
- Server index 0 is the local server on import and export, so local ids
are no longer written as `svr=65535`.
- `StructureDefinition.BaseDataType` is filled from the supertype on
import.
- **`NodeTable.Import`:** replaces duplicates, keeping the references
neighbouring nodes hold. `TypeTable.Add` detaches a re-parented type
from its old supertype, and `Node.Clone` gets its own ReferenceTable.
- **`StringTable` / `NamespaceTable`:** capped at UInt16 indexes
(`BadEncodingLimitsExceeded`) for Append and Update, instead of silently
wrapping.
- **Small fixes:**
  - `UnsecureRandom.Shared` is seeded randomly.
  - The peer's RetryAfterMs is clamped to one day.
- The `CancelAsync` and `string.GetHashCode(StringComparison)` polyfills
match BCL behaviour.
  - `CoreUtils.IsEqual` compares strings ordinally.

### Schema generation and ComplexTypeSystem
- **JSON schema:** describes the 1.05 layout with the compact/verbose
null rules, and now validates real `JsonEncoder` output.
- **XSD:**
- `EncodingMask` (`xs:unsignedLong`) only for
StructureWithOptionalFields.
  - Guid and StatusCode are complex types.
  - Standard types are in the `Types.xsd` namespace.
- **Structure-backed OptionSets** are described as `{Value, ValidBits}`.
New `UaTypeDescription.IsStructureOptionSet` property and constructor
overload.
- **ComplexTypeSystem:**
- A malformed type in a server dictionary is skipped per type instead of
discarding the whole dictionary.
  - Cyclic supertype walks are bounded.
  - Declared definitions are no longer changed.
  - A dictionary validator is kept only if the dictionary parsed.

### Certificates and trust lists (Part 4 6.1.3, Part 12)
- **Revocation:**
- Checked for issuers supplied in the peer's chain and for
inline-trusted issuers, against the CRLs in the trusted and issuer
stores.
  - A store without CRL support no longer hides "revocation unknown".
- `RejectUnknownRevocationStatus` is honoured for inline-trusted issuers
unless the entry sets `SuppressRevocationStatusUnknown`. This changes
the strict case of `ExplicitIssuerChainIsHonoredWithoutStorePathAsync`.
- **Basic constraints / path length** violations fail with
`Bad_CertificateInvalid`.
- **`TreatAsInvalid`:**
- Now yields `Bad_CertificateUntrusted`, which can't be suppressed or
auto-accepted.
- It is honoured on individual trust-list entries even when the
certificate is also in a store.
- **`EccEncryptedSecret`:** enforces the result of validating the sender
certificate.
- **`TrustListTransaction`:**
- Routes each CRL to the store holding its issuer
(TrustedCrls/IssuerCrls).
- Validates staged CRLs, including the store's CRL support, before
changing anything.
  - Applies certificates before CRLs.
- **Other:**
- One failing `CertificateChanges` observer no longer stops the others.
- `InMemory:` stores share their contents per path, and
`InMemoryStoreProvider` is `IDisposable`.

### WoT (`Opc.Ua.Types/Wot`)
- **Projection security:** projection security schemes whose qualified
names collide are refused. New diagnostic
`WotDiagnosticCode.ProjectionSecurityConflict = 6063`.
- **Input handling:**
- Invalid Unicode (lone surrogates, bad UTF-8) is rejected as
`JsonException`.
  - External-schema results are keyed per affordance.
  - A duplicate security-floor member is rejected.
  - `nsu=` ids are percent-encoded (Part 6 5.1.12).
  - The configured JSON depth is honoured on re-parse.
  - An oversized document is reported before it is parsed back.
- **Performance and limits:**
- Subtype-graph validation, `componentOf` linking and the namespace
table are now linear.
  - Namespaces are capped at UInt16.

### New or changed public API
- `ICertificateValidatorProvider` (server)
- `SecurityPolicyInfo.GetUserTokenSignatureData(...,
MessageSecurityMode)` overload
- `XmlDecoder.TreatWhitespaceOnlyStringsAsEmpty`
- `UaTypeDescription.IsStructureOptionSet` plus a constructor overload
- `WotDiagnosticCode.ProjectionSecurityConflict`
- `StatusCodes.BadIndexRangeDataMismatch` in the `Opc.Ua.Types` list
- `InMemoryStoreProvider : IDisposable`

## Not changed / open
- **Deferred:**
- S1-14 (BSD OptionSet size needs the base type in `UaTypeDescription`,
and BSD is deprecated).
- C2-7 (restoring the own-certificate trust exemption would accept
certificates the spec says to reject; removing the dead code is a
separate decision).
- A1-4 (config values keep surrounding whitespace, as the pre-April-2026
loader did).
  - H-2 (JsonDecoder has no real nesting counter).
- A2-3 (the StringTable cap also applies to diagnostics tables; default
`MaxArrayLength` already bounds them).
- **Needs a product decision:**
- The general `ConvertToString` writes a QualifiedName as `ns:Name`,
while Table 121 drops the namespace.
  - Short (< 32 byte) client nonces are accepted on None channels.

## Verification
- Every commit added a regression test that fails without its fix, where
practical.
- Before the rebases, with all audit and review fixes (before the `Spec:
#…` commits): 0 build warnings and 16 test suites green on net10.0. The
suites: Types, Core, Core.Encoders, Core.Security, Core.Schema, Client,
Client.ComplexTypes, Server, Sessions, Gds, History, Features,
Redundancy.Server, PubSub, WotCon and WotCon.Bindings. Core hit its
known intermittent end-of-run hang once, and reruns were clean.
- The `Spec: #…` fixes were verified per group on their own suites.
Those include PubSub.Udp, Redundancy.PubSub, PubSub.Server,
Configuration and SourceGeneration.Core.
- **Not yet built or tested on this base.** It was rebased onto master
(resolving overlaps with #4522, #4540 and #4564) and then onto #4569.
This PR stays a draft until the full run on this base is green.

romanett ea9a8a07e1 Fix two test races: reverse connect reload commit and TCP chunk release (#4582)
## Reverse connect reload commit race
(`ReverseConnectManagerLifecycleTests`)

Fixes the flaky
`CanceledStopRollbackRequeuesInFlightReloadAndAppliesChange` failure
seen on #4574 (run 36466677911, `test-linux-netstandard2.1 (5/30)`):

```
Expected: "Started"
But was:  "Starting"
```

### Root cause (test-only race)

The failing assert is the final `Started` check (line 3294), not the one
after the cancelled stop. The cancelled stop does restore `Started`
synchronously before it faults: the in-flight reload is still parked in
`GatedProvider` at that point, so no activation can publish `Starting`.

After `releaseReload`, the re-queued reload runs in the background.
`ActivateAsync` opens the candidate listener (`OpenHostsAsync`) and only
then creates the watcher and commits `Started` under the lock.
`WaitForAsync` returned as soon as the new listener was open, so the
next assert could observe the transient `Starting` state. The manager's
contract holds; the test only waited for part of the transition.

`WatcherTriggeredReloadReappliesReverseConnectOptionOverlay` has the
same shape: it waits for the reloaded listeners, then asserts `Started`.

### Fix

Both `WaitForAsync` predicates now also require
`manager.CurrentStateForTest == "Started"`. The new listener is open
*and* the state is `Started` only after the reload commits: a rollback
would close the candidate listener.

### Verification

- **Causality:** a temporary `Task.Delay(200)` right after
`OpenHostsAsync` in `ActivateAsync` made the original test fail
deterministically at line 3294 with exactly `Expected "Started" But was
"Starting"`. With the fix and the delay still in place, all 120
`ReverseConnectManagerLifecycleTests` passed. The delay was then
removed; the PR changes only the test file.
- **Stability:** `ReverseConnectManagerLifecycleTests` ran 10x on
net10.0 and 10x with `CustomTestTarget=netstandard2.1` (net8.0 host):
20/20 runs, 120/120 tests each.

## TCP chunk release race (`TcpMessageFailureRegressionTests`)


`ResponseSequenceFailureCompletesPendingRequestWithoutWaitingForTimeoutAsync`
asserts that `pool.Outstanding` is zero right after the request
completes. The request chunks, however, are released by
`HandleWriteComplete`, which runs on a pool thread after the transport
send has returned. When the response completes the request first, that
release can still be pending, and the assert sees outstanding buffers.

The test channel now overrides `HandleWriteComplete` to signal a
`WriteCompleted` task. The test waits for it (5 s bound) before it
checks the pool.

**Stability:** `TcpMessageFailureRegressionTests` ran 10x on net10.0 and
10x with `CustomTestTarget=netstandard2.1` (net8.0 host): 20/20 runs,
51/51 tests each.

Copilot df927cbb85 Honor cancellation during TCP endpoint connection (#4553)
# Description

`SelectEndpointAsync` accepted a cancellation token, but legacy TCP
connection attempts could wait for socket timeout. Pending connection
cancellation now consistently surfaces as `OperationCanceledException`.

- **TCP cancellation**
  - Preserve native cancellation-token socket connect on modern targets.
- Normalize legacy disposal-triggered `SocketException` /
`ObjectDisposedException` to cancellation.

```csharp
catch (SocketException) when (ct.IsCancellationRequested)
{
    throw new OperationCanceledException("Connection attempt was cancelled.", ct);
}
```

- **Coverage**
- Add transport coverage for a pre-cancelled connection attempt and
verify no endpoint is established.

Marc Schier f9892020a3 Add configurable server resource isolation (#4541)
# Description

Add configurable server resource isolation on top of the merged #4522
foundation.

- Coordinate connection, handshake, retained-message,
session-establishment, queue, execution, request-cost and parked-request
limits through one server-scoped provider.
- Keep configured startup, continuity/reconnect, control and
trusted-owner reservations inside existing totals. Shared capacity
remains usable up to explicit owner ceilings.
- Use authoritative Session membership for reassembly continuity
capacity without granting unrelated resource or rate privileges.
Preserve explicit owner mappings and bounded tracking.
- Cache immutable classification evidence while retaining current
Session and classifier checks.
- Support weighted request ordering or FIFO independently of resource
accounting. Installed providers enforce decoded-request limits in both
modes.
- Preserve fail-fast reassembly, valid Abort handling, fixed deadlines,
active-work protection, reverse-connect handoff and bounded OpenAPI
processing.
- Support custom-handler parking through `IRequestParkingPolicy`,
`WithRequestParking(...)`, and `RequestLifetime.ParkSink`. Parking
releases execution capacity only, keeping retained-data and parked
charges until completion. Built-in Publish and the global opt-out remain
unchanged.
- Provide direct, fluent and DI configuration, public incoming-request
parking support, effective startup limit logs and user-facing
documentation.

Balanced remains the default. SharedOnly without an explicit provider
retains shared behavior for intentionally incompatible/unlimited
configurations. Reservations are finite and are not one full-message
allowance per Session.

## Related Issues

Builds on merged #4522. Fixes #4554.

## Review and CI corrections

All three previously missed findings in [review
5326734718](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/pull/4541#pullrequestreview-5326734718)
are addressed in `9e25e4ecc`:

1. A custom FIFO provider receives RequestQueue, RequestQueueBytes,
RequestExecution and ParkedRequest accounting. A blocked head cannot be
overtaken.
2. `IResourceIsolationReassemblyProvider` replaces the sessionless
threshold independently of `UseFairScheduling`. The aggregate byte
ceiling remains enforced.
3. Runtime `ReservedReassemblyBytes` includes all configured protected
stage floors, including ControlReserved.

The review's two already-resolved changes remain intact.

The CI collection race was fixed at its source in `e1a994a4b`:
`ArrayOf.ToArrayOf` treats a separately read collection count as an
initial capacity hint and grows/trims for the actual enumeration.
Deterministic tests cover growth, shrinkage and stale-zero counts.

The subsequent recovery-test race was fixed in `05753ce77`: fake time
advances only after a gated keepalive response has been processed and
reset its timer, not merely after request arrival. Recovery-order and
timeout assertions remain intact, with additional response-state
assertions. Instrumentation reproduced the original failure twice; both
fixed variants passed 400 executions per framework.

CodeQL alert 388 was verified and dismissed as a false positive. Startup
logs contain aggregate numeric capacities, not credentials or caller
identities.

## Validation

No tests, assertions, coverage thresholds, or required checks were

Marc Schier 46fa7d364a Harden recovery, concurrency, and resource lifetimes across the OPC UA stack (#4516)
# Description

Bound managed-session recovery, preserve Publish workers and recovery
ownership, and address the client, server, transport, and certificate
audit findings and subsequent concurrency review. Also reduce the memory
retained by exhaustive session-test diagnostics.

## Recovery and Publish ownership

- Add `ManagedSessionOptions.ChannelReconnectTimeout` through direct
construction, the fluent builder, and DI. The automatic duration is
`max(3 * KeepAliveInterval, revised SessionTimeout, OperationTimeout)`,
sampled at cycle start. Positive overrides are supported;
`Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan` explicitly opts out. Raw sessions retain
their unlimited default.
- Add `CreateReconnectBudget(TimeProvider)` as a required
`IReconnectParticipant` member, as agreed in review. Custom participants
implement it and may return null for no participant-specific bound.
- Enforce the earliest participant/caller deadline through transport
reconnect, activation/recreation, and subscription restoration. Late
callers can shorten an active cycle but cannot extend it.
- Cancel and unwind recovery, fence late responses, and release channel
recovery ownership before the existing `Faulted` event hands control to
the outer reconnect/failover policy. Preserve session recreate admission
through final Publish cleanup and keepalive suppression until shared
recovery is complete.
- Treat participant budget creation/evaluation failures, including
exceptions at the exact deadline, as terminal shared-recovery failures.
Notify participants before exposing `Faulted`, preserve the original
diagnostic, and never silently replace a finite budget with unlimited
recovery.
- Keep caller-supplied replacement channels, managed bindings, wrapper
event subscriptions, and recovery-owner identities consistent across
success, failure, and cancellation. Reject replacement during active
recovery and fence retired callbacks so they cannot clear newer
ownership or suppress later keepalive recovery.
- Retain eligible Publish workers through temporary
subscription-identifier clearing without retaining workers for
never-created or removed subscriptions. Preserve cancellation,
acknowledgement rollback, and drain-before-replacement ordering.
- Coordinate automatic subscription updates with session recovery:
cancel admitted updates, keep them paused across a failed-restoration
handoff, and retry only after explicit restoration completes. This
prevents competing CreateSubscription requests and updates against a
retiring session, while preserving manual recreation, transfer fallback,
and pending option changes.
- Exercise the real ManagedSession, V2 subscription engine, and channel
ready gate with scripted transports and an injected clock. Cover
transfer fallback, deadline handoff, late completions, and resumed
notification delivery.

## Audit and review corrections

- Correct certificate/trust-list transactions, change-pump lifetimes,
validation, peer revalidation, and reset/resource ownership.
- Harden node admission, attribute/range/dimension validation,
monitored-item sampling and lifecycle transitions, event fanout, and
server shutdown. Run lifecycle readiness and compensation outside shared
monitored-item admission, with stale-completion ownership checks.
- Close synchronous node-manager admission before teardown and retain
resources until admitted service, lifecycle, and asynchronous method
work returns. Dispose the monitored-item manager outside both locks,
reject late calls before they can reach it, and forward asynchronous
disposal through the adapter so the master awaits the same completion.
Preserve reentrant shutdown initiation, cancellation/failure unwinding,
and shared cleanup-failure reporting.
- Bound WSS pending-request retention using connection-local wire
handles while preserving caller-visible request handles and translating
Cancel targets. Safely ignore retired replies and drain admitted
send/close users before resource disposal.
- Clarify that the shared `ClientBase` caller-handle sequence is
distinct from the non-wrapping WSS wire allocator. Existing
exhaustion/reopen, late-reply, and Cancel-translation regressions verify
the connection-local contract; no allocator behavior was changed by this
clarification.
- Preserve virtual-node validation and resolver service errors instead
of converting them to cached misses. A mismatched NodeId reports
`BadNodeIdInvalid`; callback type mismatches and resolver service errors
keep their exact status. Per-item boundaries preserve unaffected reads,
writes, history operations, method calls, browse paths, and
monitored-item creation/restoration, including permission-validation
paths. Caller cancellation still propagates; stored-item validation
failures are logged without aborting later restores.
- Correct client file/role/state-machine/streaming APIs, node-cache
behavior, redundancy/failover ownership, and session
configuration/identity handling.
- Cancel each owned peer-discovery scope before disposing it, including
when the bounded wait wins a cancellation-delivery race. Keep late
results out of the endpoint cache and preserve single-flight lookup
ownership.
- Keep materialized alias Browse results synchronized with the live
store by default, preserving explicit startup-only opt-out. Apply
HistoryUpdate service results per value while retaining explicit
all-or-nothing provider APIs.
- Update the directly related feature documentation and add focused
positive, negative, concurrency, and ownership regressions.

## Latest review-feedback corrections

- Fence stale failed lease observations with a successful-confirmation
generation distinct from the revocation epoch. Snapshot it before each
store read, including failed-CAS revalidation, so an old failure cannot
revoke or reschedule a newer lease while fresh ownership loss still
revokes leadership. Preserve independent overlapping acquisitions,
expiry, disposal, and late-success protections.
- Isolate attributable WSS response-decoding errors to their request,
including retired handles. Keep admitted socket sends connection-owned
so caller timeout/cancellation cannot abort sibling requests; shutdown
still cancels and drains those sends.
- Restart keepalive and classic Publish replenishment after successful
session reuse. Retire V2 worker demand after intentional
deletion/disable without confusing that state with temporary recovery
resets.
- Browse virtual directories lazily across continuation pages without
the 1,024-entry snapshot cap. Preserve active-page cancellation, bounded
metadata retention, pushback, and exactly-once asynchronous cursor
cleanup.
- Apply certificate/CRL staging in last-operation order, preflight
required issuer storage before writes, select actual policy-compatible
RSA keys for None endpoints, frame certificate chains independently of
signature OIDs, and preserve admitted validation results during
rejected-writer shutdown.
- Preserve base asynchronous disposal when a legacy override omits its
base call; avoid double derived disposal in the adapter. Let genuinely
admitted nested work finish while rejecting stale captured contexts and
returning null from closed lookup APIs.
- Re-park recovered monitored items if AddNodes rolls back. Give event
compensation a fresh finite deadline, and preserve healthy
Browse/Translate siblings at every reference/path boundary while
retaining starting-node errors and caller cancellation.
- Give final reconnect notifications a live, bounded shutdown-linked
lifetime. Synchronize child state before parent lifecycle handlers
outside the parent transition lock.
- Document the accepted existing policies: direct reverse connections
are single-use without a ReverseConnectManager, and multi-node stream
capacity is shared rather than reserved per node.

The expanded readiness controls also exposed a real generation-handoff
race: an old source could finish draining after activation was deferred
but before readiness tasks were collected, causing the wanted
replacement to be omitted from the wait set. A deterministic test gates
that exact interval; the fix keeps the replacement in the readiness
wait. The original race passed 200 repetitions after the fix. A separate
control now awaits both producer readiness and iterator entry under the
same original deadline, rather than treating those independent signals
as equivalent. Temporary logging and repetition are removed.

## CI integration contracts

The History and Server CI failures exposed integration tests that still
asserted the behavior intentionally changed by the audit fixes. A
Windows WoT negative test raced its caller deadline against upstream
retries. A subsequent Ubuntu Client failure exposed a real
automatic-update versus explicit-restoration race:

- History insertion collisions now verify exact per-value statuses and
all persisted timestamps/values, including preservation of the existing
conflicting entry. Explicit atomic-provider rollback controls remain.
- Alias materialization tests wait for actual publication and verify the
added node plus forward/inverse `AliasFor` references, instead of racing
a startup-only snapshot expectation. Explicit refresh opt-out controls
remain.
- The unavailable-upstream WoT test uses an explicit finite retry policy
through existing DI configuration, preserving its original four-minute
guard and requiring a mapped-value service error before caller
cancellation. Production retry defaults remain unchanged.
- The Client fix retains the exact one-create and late-response
assertions. Three deterministic real-subscription/real-manager cases
cover paused creation, disposal while paused, and cancellation of an
admitted create followed by explicit restoration and a pending option
update. Both composed restoration-deadline cases also prove automatic
updates stay blocked at the outer handoff and resume after restoration.
- The merged-head net48 correction prevents lost peer-resolver
cancellation and distinguishes the harness's delayed initial `Connected`
event from actual outer recovery completion. A deterministic timer-order
test covers both cooperative and cancellation-ignoring resolvers,
cancellation before return, rejection of late cached results, and a
fresh subsequent lookup.
- The remaining CodeQL alert was a false content flow through
`ArrayOf.Count` into an integer-only trust-list summary. Projecting the
same count through `Span.Length` keeps cardinality distinct from
serialized contents without allocating, dropping diagnostics,
suppressing the rule, or dismissing the alert. Five log-contract cases
cover null/empty/nonempty results and mixed chain-capable/fallback
listeners, asserting the exact count, message, and structured
properties.
- Classic transfer acknowledges messages selected for asynchronous
Republish only after their responses arrive. The existing locked
replay-selection decision returns the immediate-acknowledgement subset
to Session, preserving the public transfer API, advertised availability,
and immediate acknowledgement of older gapped messages not selected for
replay. A callback changing `RepublishAfterTransfer` cannot change the
already-selected acknowledgement ownership.
- Transfer integration tests explicitly control acknowledged versus
retained origin messages. Exact assertions distinguish retained replay
from requested fresh initial values by sequence number, client handles,
values, status, and source timestamp. Atomic counters, observed
delivery/keepalive progress, and failure-safe session/file cleanup
replace timing assumptions and racy resets.
- Server lifecycle tests verify the documented independent five-second
compensation deadline rather than requiring a non-cancellable token.
They cancel the actual request, prove compensation and unrelated
monitored-item creation still proceed one tick before the deadline,
preserve the original failure and ownership assertions, and verify the
completed deadline is retired.
- Synchronous and asynchronous directory-browser tests require the exact
provider exception instead of an empty-directory success, then verify
the failed cursor is not enumerated again. These correct expectations
left behind by the intentional, documented provider-error propagation
change; production behavior is unchanged.

No tests were disabled, assertions loosened, coverage thresholds
lowered, or CI checks made optional. Existing platform exclusions and
Explicit debug variants remain.

## Validation

**Lease-election review correction
(`a13afa641182c70983e16bbcfebf507e666a45a5`):**

The correction is based on the existing upstream merge
`43079e2b851fe338a4082066f8d14abfdafb6e32`. Three deterministic
stale-verdict
cases fail on the original source and pass with separate confirmation
fencing.
Six new cases cover the initial foreign-owner verdict, failed-CAS
revalidation
in both invocation orders, and fresh ownership loss through both read
paths,
including revalidation begun after another successful confirmation.

| Target and configuration | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| net10.0 Debug | 120 | 0 | 0 |
| net48 Debug | 120 | 0 | 0 |

The selection is the full `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.Redundancy` namespace,
including
all 38 `SharedStoreLeaseElectionTests` cases and the existing expiry,
clock
rollback, disposal, and overlapping-success regressions. New witnesses
are
`StaleForeignLeaseReadDoesNotRevokeNewerAcquisitionAsync`,
`StaleFailedRevalidationDoesNotRevokeNewerAcquisitionAsync`, and
`FreshForeignLeaseObservationRevokesLeadershipAsync`. They assert
resulting
leadership, exact transitions, independent progress, and the unchanged
expiry
boundary. Retaining the initial generation for the fallback read
independently
makes the fresh-loss-after-confirmation control fail; that mutation was
removed
before the final rebuilt runs.

The successful scoped command is
`dotnet test tests\Opc.Ua.Core.Tests\Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.csproj -c Debug
--no-restore --filter
"FullyQualifiedName~Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.Redundancy"`,
with `CustomTestTarget` and `-f` matching each row and that framework's
assets
restored. Both changed C# files pass formatting and analyzers through
informational severity on both frameworks. These are scoped results, not
a
full-solution test or measured coverage-delta claim. CI monitoring is
paused
for this feedback-only operation; no current-head CI success is claimed.

**Latest CI contract correction
(`1cd1f2047bb5b50c9bf300b1ff710b0b2e935a29`):**

All four failing Server shard 23 jobs in
[run
36120946740](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/36120946740)
reported the same six cases. Two local replays reproduced all six
failures.
The source changes and documentation from `cd43b831a` establish both
intentional
contracts: independent bounded event compensation and surfaced provider
errors.
Only the two test files are corrected; production code and CI policy are
unchanged.

| Target and configuration | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| net48 Debug | 113 | 0 | 0 |
| net10.0 Release, CI Coverlet settings | 113 | 0 | 0 |

The selection contains `MonitoredItemManagerLifecycleTests`,
`DirectoryObjectStateTests`, `DirectoryBrowserBoundedEnumerationTests`,
and

`EventCompensationReadinessHasFiniteDeadlineWithInfiniteSourceTimeoutAsync`.
Both changed files pass formatting and analyzers through informational
severity
on both frameworks. Independent mutations restoring a non-cancellable
compensation token and swallowing provider errors fail all four
lifecycle
cases and both browser cases, respectively. Both mutations were removed
before
the final passing runs and commit.

The scoped command is `dotnet test
tests\Opc.Ua.Server.Tests\Opc.Ua.Server.Tests.csproj`
with `CustomTestTarget` and `-f` set to the selected framework,
`--no-restore`, and
`--filter
"FullyQualifiedName~MonitoredItemManagerLifecycleTests|FullyQualifiedName~DirectoryObjectStateTests|FullyQualifiedName~DirectoryBrowserBoundedEnumerationTests|FullyQualifiedName~EventCompensationReadinessHasFiniteDeadlineWithInfiniteSourceTimeoutAsync"`.
The modern run additionally uses `-c Release /p:CollectCoverage=true
--collect "XPlat Code Coverage" --settings
tests\coverlet.runsettings.xml`.
These are scoped results, not a full-solution test or measured
coverage-delta claim.
Hosted checks for that commit were pending at publication. The fail-fast
CI
watch was stopped when the requested operation switched to review
feedback;
no current-head CI success is claimed.

**Earlier master merge (`8b15ea6ef9fc2214ac8ec886f373bb3846dd6d6f`, base
`b4136d8e9bab0df680f41d9ef985f519160534b1`):**

The `TcpListenerChannel` conflict preserves both lifetime
responsibilities:
disposal clears the retained peer-certificate chain and unregisters the
quota-scoped message-assembly scheduler. Both fields and all upstream
deadline
handling remain intact. The only additional manual source adjustment
adds the
parentheses required by the existing analyzer around the session-count
fallback.

Master advanced during validation. The initial transport merge
`80303c434ce813cf75aa7fe54a6a32fe2aeafc30` was retained, and the newer
base was
merged normally in `8b15ea6ef9fc2214ac8ec886f373bb3846dd6d6f`, without
rewriting
history. The additional recovery, fluent-pipeline, and test-framework
overlaps
were inspected; the branch's cancellation, validation-error, and
acknowledgement
ownership fixes remain alongside the upstream changes.

Full `UA.slnx` builds passed on net10.0 and net48 with **0 warnings and
0 errors**.
The final scoped tests rebuilt against the committed tree
`2074f8efcb61d8d9c6106e7d6f76ee941940e358`:

| Target | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| net10.0 | 2,653 | 0 | 0 |
| net48 | 2,529 | 0 | 7 |

The net48 skips are existing platform exclusions: six RSA_DH_AesGcm
nonce cases
and one ClientWebSocket certificate-validation case requiring .NET 7 or
later.
The selection covers transport cleanup, reassembly
budgets/deadlines/admission,
peer-chain ownership, server session binding, fluent lifecycles and
source
generation, reconnect and keepalive, transfer acknowledgements, Publish
queues,
and JSON encoding. Modern-.NET WSS transport and real-server integration
cases
also pass. The resolved file passed solution-relative formatting and
analyzer
verification through informational severity on both frameworks.

These are scoped test results, not unfiltered full-suite or
measured-coverage
claims. Hosted CI was not monitored or repaired as part of this
merge-only
operation.

Selected local results below are overlapping validation runs, not
distinct-test totals.

**Earlier review-feedback batch
(`cd43b831a8f11de3f7d65c3681712a61e3c669a5`):**
The final net10.0 scoped selection passed **471 tests, with no failures
or skips**.
The final net48 solution-root selection passed **439 tests, with no
failures and
one unchanged platform skip**
(`ValidateServerCertificateFallsBackToTlsPolicyErrors`,
which requires newer ClientWebSocket certificate-validation support).
Both full nonincremental solution builds completed with **0 warnings and
0 errors**,
and all **40 changed C# files** passed informational-level
formatting/analyzer
verification. Both frameworks validated the identical final tracked
diff.
The focused matrix covers every one of the 20 current review threads,
including
real mid-frame WSS cancellation, stale admission contexts, directory
continuation
ownership, multi-element Browse/Translate failures, and the readiness
drain race.
The net10.0 solution-root test command has a separate pre-existing
runner conflict:
three unrelated AOT projects reject the VSTest target under
Microsoft.Testing.Platform
2.4.0 and SDK 10. Per-project net10.0 results are recorded separately;
no runner
migration, test exclusion, assertion relaxation, or CI-policy change is
included.
These are bounded selections, not unfiltered full-suite or measured
coverage claims.
At publication of `cd43b831a`, hosted CI was not green: the
`OPCFoundation.UA-.NETStandard` check reported `ACTION_REQUIRED`,
AppVeyor reported
`FAILURE`, and the two signed-build jobs were in progress. No CI jobs
were rerun,
cancelled, approved, or repaired as part of that feedback-only
operation.

**Classic transfer correction
(`f425376fca045794122e19aaf9cafebc4a717d91`):**
The preceding head's
[macOS net10.0 shard
25/30](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/35980326299/job/107570512458)
failed
`TransferSubscriptionTest(DisconnectedRepublish).TransferSubscriptionAsync(True,False)`
at the static-node count assertion: expected 10, received 20. The trace
contains a successful,
explicitly requested republish of retained sequence 1 and a fresh
initial-value batch at sequence 3,
not duplicate dispatch of one response.

Controlled lost origin acknowledgements reproduced that incorrect test
expectation on both the
preceding PR head and exact master base
`a2539cb53dd1666cef856f33812d7a8830d68909`.
The maintainer explicitly authorized correcting this existing issue in
the PR. Retained replay
and requested initial values are independent, as specified by
[OPC UA Part 4,
TransferSubscriptions](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/specs/OPC-10000-4/5.14.7).
The reason that the original hosted run retained its particular origin
message remains unproved.

The expanded full-suite run then exposed a **real production race**, not
just a count assertion:
Session queued acknowledgements for all transferred available messages
before the asynchronous
Republish responses arrived. Publish could delete those messages first,
causing
`BadMessageNotAvailable`. A gated real-Session/classic-engine regression
failed both replay-enabled
cases on the original implementation while both no-replay controls
passed. The ownership fix
passes all 24 combinations of empty/consecutive/unsorted-gapped queues,
replay preference,
sequential delivery, and a reentrant preference change.

All 40 normal real-server transfer cases pass on both frameworks.
Independent mutations
suppressing actual replay and duplicating observed sequence records each
fail the intended
assertion; both mutations were removed. The full classic suite passes on
both frameworks.
Hosted CI was pending when that correction was published; the earlier
failed hosted job was not
rerun for a lucky pass.

**Local net48 caveat:** the full Client run timed out in the
pre-existing fake-clock test
`ReconnectAsyncSwapsFaultedLeaseEntryAsync`, which does not exercise
subscription transfer.
Its unchanged isolated replay passed, but that does not resolve the
full-suite timeout.
No unrelated code or assertions were changed, and a clean full Client
net48 run is not claimed.

- Full solution builds passed on net10.0 and net48 during the audit
work. The subsequent full non-incremental net10.0 build also completed
with zero warnings/errors.
- Modified source/test formatting and analyzer checks passed through
informational severity.
- Original composed recovery regressions passed repeated runs on both
frameworks. Independent mutations removing Publish cancellation,
bypassing the recreate drain call, or ignoring ready-gate cancellation
each failed the intended assertion; all mutations were restored before
passing runs.
- The latest recovery correction passed 100 executions of each original
restoration-deadline scenario with unchanged assertions. Restoring
premature update admission independently made both strengthened handoff
cases fail; the correct retention behavior was restored afterward.
- Startup-event and cancellation-delivery timing probes reproduced the
subsequent net48 failures, then passed 100 executions of each of the
three scenarios with the fixes. All timing probes and repetition were
removed. The permanent timeout-order regression also went RED on the
original cancellation cleanup without sleeps or scheduling
amplification.
- Final post-format recovery/subscription/engine checks passed all 151
selected cases on net10.0. The first local full net48 attempt aborted in
`clr.dll` with native access violation `0xc0000005`; an
unchanged-assembly full diagnostic rerun passed as recorded above. That
native host crash has not been attributed or claimed fixed.
- A minimal replay with the same CodeQL CLI and query-pack versions
reproduced the custom-count alert and confirmed that the standard
span-length projection is clean while direct sensitive-value and
raw-identifier logging controls remain flagged. The source was already
logging only a count; no identifier or certificate disclosure was
established at the reported location.
- The virtual-node feedback regressions first reproduced five
error-preservation/cache failures; expanded service-dispatch cases
exposed two additional whole-batch failures before the
operation-boundary fixes. The final selections pass on both frameworks.
Genuine misses remain cached, successful results remain reusable, failed
validation allows same-cache retry, and request cancellation still stops
the batch.
- Three deterministic synchronous-manager disposal regressions
reproduced early resource release and lifecycle calls reaching a manager
during disposal. The fix passes direct and adapted calls, a
sampling-worker join after the last operation exits, reentrant shutdown,
cancellation and failure paths, repeated disposal, and exact rejection
across 39 service/lifecycle entry points both during drain and after
cleanup. The original outside-node-lock disposal regression remains and
now requires the worker to observe closed admission.
- Prior-head CI on `c985f8bded77a60449d9cd381c8a004d8590ccf6` completed
with **168 passing checks, one expected release-package-publication
skip, and no failures or pending checks**. All test shards, signed
builds, container builds, the coverage check, and the CodeQL PR check
passed. Hosted CodeQL analysis `1829262912` completed successfully and
marks count-flow alert 385 fixed. This is evidence for that head, not a
claim that subsequent review follow-ups have completed hosted CI.

### Session-test diagnostic memory

Complete browse listings are streamed to unique NUnit attachments rather
than retained in inline NUnit/VSTest output. Detached regression-test
results are cleaned up without deleting runner-collected attachments.

- Two covered session-suite runs each completed with 782 passed and 379
existing skips. Peak working set fell from 4.86 GiB to 2.44-2.78 GiB.
- TRX output shrank from 303.1 MiB to approximately 40.7 MiB, retaining
all 46 complete browse attachments.
- Seven output regressions cover exact content, empty/single/large
listings, disabled/enabled output, bounded inline summaries, and unique
filenames.

The separate Azure build-18452 VM deprovisioning cause remains unproved
without provider logs. The memory measurements do not establish its
cause.

Unfiltered local `UA.slnx` tests, including the long stress/soak suites,
have not been run on both frameworks. A local coverage delta was not
collected; builds and focused tests are not substitutes for those
claims.

Cristi Pogacean 9b8a3b1188 Preserve node initialization and copied child ownership (#4544)
# Description

Preserve populated derived node children through optional initialization
and give copied children independent ownership by their copied parent.

- Track initialization from a source in `NodeState` and guard generated
optional-default recreation without removing the optional initialization
hook.
- Reuse `CloneChild` for dynamic children, generated typed children, and
method argument properties. Preserve the clone root's existing external
parent.
- Add cross-model initialization/copy regressions, method-argument and
nested-child ownership tests, and inherited alarm-subtree checks.

This PR contains only the six files for this fix group.
Certificate-store, runtime-type-loader, publish-queue and
transport-exception fixes are separate work.

## Related Issues

Fixes #4525.
Fixes #4526.

## Validation

Fresh focused Release/net10.0 checks on the final base:

| Fixture | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| CrossModelInstanceTypeDefinitionGeneratorTests | 9 | 0 | 0 |
| Types NodeStateTests | 227 | 0 | 0 |
| Core StateTypesTests | 13 | 0 | 0 |

All three test commands exited 0. `git diff --check` and the
changed-file diagnostic check are clean.

Regression proof was also executed in the isolated worktree: with the
three production changes reversed, six generator cases failed with the
missing derived Temperature child while three controls passed; two copy
cases failed parent-identity assertions while the
external-parent/absent-arguments control passed. The production fix was
restored and the focused checks are green. The retained red runs
preceded the later upstream synchronization; the affected production
paths were unchanged by that synchronization.

Windows win-x64 NativeAOT publish and native execution also passed: main
178/178, Historian 2/2, MCP 3/3, no skips, every invocation exit 0.
These native runs preceded the final CTT-configuration/notes-only
fast-forward; this PR's six files were unchanged.

Local validation is intentionally change-scoped for this work, with the
full matrix and repository-wide checks left to PR CI. Repository
guidance and test assertions/timeouts were not modified. Local commands
used a NuGet v2 source override and disabled audit only on the command
line; CI feed/audit policy is unchanged.

Earlier broad attempts are not claimed as a completed local gate: an
unmodified-base durable restart timeout was reproduced before
synchronization (the later durable run passed), and the net48 runner
stalled after recording passing client tests. A direct client retry
subsequently exited 0, but the full net48 matrix was not completed.
Those results are not substituted for the focused evidence above.

## Checklist

- [x] I have signed the CLA and read the CONTRIBUTING doc.
- [x] I have added regression tests and demonstrated failure without the
production fix.

romanett d6356766c5 Resolve the open CTT findings: aggregate fixes, de-DE ApplicationName and CTT configuration (#4545)
# Description

Resolves the open items of `plans/ctt-issues.md` (*Needs clarification*,
*Open server findings*, *CTT project configuration notes*). Each item
was checked against the OPC 10000 spec text. A server change was made
only where the server was wrong, and every server change has a
regression test. CTT script and oracle defects are filed in Mantis
instead.

### Server changes (`Opc.Ua.Server`)

- **NumberOfTransitions honours TreatUncertainAsBad.**
- Part 13 §5.4.3.24 does not count Bad values. §4.2.1.2 makes Uncertain
values "equivalent to Bad" when TreatUncertainAsBad is True, and the
aggregate definition doesn't override that.
- Uncertain values are therefore no longer counted, and no longer used
as the previous value, when the setting is True. The now unused
`TimeSlice.NonBadEarlyBound` is removed.
- **DurationInStateZero/NonZero status follows the variable's
interpolation.**
- §5.4.3.2.2: "A region is Uncertain if a region ends in a Bad or
Uncertain value and SlopedInterpolation is used."
- The calculator always built stepped status regions. So on a sloped
variable, the last region stayed Good while TimeAverage2 and Total2 over
the same interval were already Uncertain.
  - The duration value doesn't change.
- **AnnotationCount returns `Bad_NoData` and sets Partial.**
- Table 68 requires `Bad_NoData` for intervals before the start or after
the end of data. §5.3.3.2 requires the Partial bit for incomplete
intervals.
- `HistorianDispatcher` now derives the start and end of data from the
raw history (read with bounds) plus the annotation timestamps. It passes
them to a new `CalculateAnnotationCounts` overload; the old overload is
unchanged.
- Three existing dispatcher tests change their expectations. For
example, a node without any data now returns `Bad_NoData` instead of
Good zeros.

### Reference server sample and CTT configuration

- **`de-DE` ApplicationName.** The server advertises `de-DE` in
LocaleIdArray, but FindServers and GetEndpoints always returned the
en-US name. The sample now keys the ApplicationName and registers en-US
and de-DE translations (Part 4 §5.5.2.2 / §5.5.4.2 localeIds).
- **Subscription limit.** `Max Supported Subscriptions` in
`samples/UAReferenceServer.ctt.xml` and `MaxSubscriptionCount` in
`Ctt.ReferenceServer.Config.xml` go from 100 to 200. Subscription
Publish Min 05 `003.js` needs 190 subscriptions.
- **Alarm Cycle Time.** The CTT template's Alarm Cycle Time is 30 s. At
60 s it equalled `RequestedSessionTimeout`, so a Limit/Level CU that
starts a run finds its session expired (C40).

### Tests only

- **AddNodes duplicate BrowseName test:**
`AddNodeAsync_DuplicateBrowseNameUnderParent_ReturnsBadBrowseNameDuplicatedAsync`
never ran. Its items had no TypeDefinition, so its `Assume` always made
it inconclusive. The finding it belongs to (AddNodes after a rename
returning `BadNodeIdExists`) was already fixed by #4477.
- **RequestHandle echo:** a new test covers the ServiceFault for an
oversized argument in a chunked request (already fixed by #4488).
- **Value-based status:** a new test covers the aggregate status with
TreatUncertainAsBad = false (already fixed by #4503).

### Not changed

- **GDS QueryApplications/QueryServers still return records with
ServerCapability `NA`.** OPC 10000-12 §6.5.10/§6.5.11 says they "shall
not", but the CTT GDS scripts expect those records. Implementing the
exclusion turned 40 GDS test cases from pass to error, so it waits for
the script fix ([Mantis
11458](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11458)).
- **Idle SecureChannels are still closed after `ChannelLifetime`.**
Keeping them open would be security relevant. The CTT configuration's
`ChannelLifetime` of 120000 (#4502) covers the CTT case.

Cristi Pogacean d2ec51d035 Normalize transport connection failures at the client channel boundary (#4549)
## Summary
Translate socket and I/O connection failures into
`ServiceResultException(BadNotConnected)` at
`UaSCUaBinaryClientChannel.ConnectAsync`, so public discovery creation
does not leak raw transport exceptions.

- Preserve the original exception as `InnerException` for diagnostics.
- Keep the existing operation fault, channel shutdown and operation
completion paths.
- Leave cancellation, existing `ServiceResultException`
instances/statuses, and programming errors unchanged.
- Do not change the lower-level byte transport contract or reconnect
behavior.

Fixes #4535

## Regression Coverage
- Deterministic injected HostNotFound, ConnectionRefused, socket timeout
and IOException failures assert BadNotConnected, exact inner cause and
closed transport/channel.
- Separate controls assert caller cancellation and unchanged
service/programming exceptions.
- Public `DiscoveryClient.CreateAsync` integration uses a bound,
non-listening loopback port. It asserts the translated failure and
verifies a previously connected discovery client can still retrieve
endpoints afterward. A separate public-API cancellation control remains
a cancellation.
- No live DNS lookup is required in the committed tests; DNS failure is
injected deterministically.

## Validation
Base `b4136d8e9`, Windows Release:

| Focused selection | net10.0 | net48 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| UaSCBinaryClientChannelDeterministicTests + TcpByteTransportTests | 51
passed | 51 passed |
| SessionlessInvocationTests | 22 passed | 22 passed |

All four selections exited 0, with zero failures/skips. Changed-file
whitespace verification, diagnostics and `git diff --check` passed.

Before the fix, the seven new deterministic cases produced 4
raw-transport failures / 3 passing controls. The two new public-API
cases produced 1 raw SocketException failure / 1 cancellation-control
pass with only the production fix reversed. The source fix was restored,
rebuilt, and the full focused selections above passed.

The complete framework/platform matrix is left to PR CI. No repository
guidance, feed configuration, security policy or unrelated consumer
workaround was changed.

Marc Schier 57c0a32ed4 Fix incomplete-message buffering and channel cleanup (#4522)
# Description

Fix incomplete-message buffering, channel cleanup, session resource
accounting, and enforcement of existing transport admission settings.

- Share a targeted `ChunkReassemblyBudget` across server listeners. The
reference default is 64 MiB, with a 32 MiB global occupancy threshold
for sessionless intermediate chunks. This is priority headroom for
activated sessions, not a guaranteed bootstrap partition. Single/final
chunks and unrelated response/client buffers remain outside this budget.
- Retain precise incoming/final payload quotas, valid Abort handling
without channel teardown, terminal late-final rejection, and
exactly-once buffer/reservation cleanup.
- Use one assembly timer per quota/clock scope, asynchronous cleanup, a
fixed deadline, a 30-second fallback for non-positive lifetimes, and
best-effort ERR `BadTimeout` before closure.
- Apply negotiated TCP/WebSocket/Pipe receive limits and size pipe
rentals to actual chunks.
- Add the optional `ISessionBindingProvider` and immutable
`SessionBindingContext` seam. Managed membership counts distinct
committed sessions, not responses, and handles reactivation, transfer,
closure, expiry, restoration and shutdown. Read-only snapshots require
token/channel/security validation and never replace service
authorization.
- Wire default and explicitly injected binding providers through raw
TCP, Kestrel and UACP WebSockets; preserve existing callback/manager
interfaces and direct construction.
- Enforce existing `ConnectionRateLimiter` and channel capacity settings
on Kestrel TCP and UACP WebSocket admission, with physical-transport
leases surviving reverse handoff and releasing on cancellation, close,
failed attachment and stop. HTTP/JSON requests are not treated as UASC
channels.
- Add regression coverage and documentation. Stabilize the CI
cancellation test by waiting for the resolver to enter before canceling.

This is the foundation only. New Balanced/FairShare/TrustedReservations
policies, tenant isolation and guaranteed bootstrap reserves belong in
the separate stacked follow-up, not this PR.

Marc Schier 138086863b Fix audit findings and review regressions across the OPC UA stack (#4503)
## Scope

Audit fixes and review follow-ups across the OPC UA Core, Client,
Server, transport, and redundancy components. This includes implemented
Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 work; it does not claim that every item in
the 244-finding audit backlog is complete.

The review batch fixes mandatory full-key record protection and owned
plaintext buffers; transactional pending-certificate claims;
shared-channel nonce and certificate ownership; discovery and
token-policy validation; reconnect/callback ordering without changing
unbounded buffering defaults; server permissions, filters,
monitored-item lifetime, and alarm topology; historian paging,
retention, and annotations; atomic user/password metadata; and canonical
file identities with bounded alias and role refresh workers.

## Review-batch verification at `ab686ccae`

The following results come from fresh test builds using `dotnet test`,
`--no-restore`, `-m:1`, and an explicit `CustomTestTarget`. They replace
the earlier description's library-build/`--no-build` totals, which did
not establish the state of the merged test sources.

| Scope | Target | Passed | Skipped |
|---|---|---:|---:|
| Core review regressions | net10.0 | 827 | 0 |
| Client and lifecycle regressions | net10.0 | 630 | 0 |
| Server review regressions | net10.0 | 1970 | 0 |
| Redundancy Server / Client / PubSub | net10.0 | 276 / 10 / 11 | 0 |
| Sessions / file-and-alias / streaming / HTTPS-WSS integration |
net10.0 | 8 / 21 / 30 / 20 | 0 |
| Core review regressions | net48 | 786 | 39 |
| Client recovery and policy regressions | net48 | 54 | 0 |
| Server ownership, aliases, queues, and user-state regressions | net48
| 137 | 0 |

Every listed run exited successfully. The 39 net48 skips are existing
platform/capability cases. New key-agreement tests assert
unavailable-policy behavior on unsupported targets rather than adding
skips or pretending those targets performed an unsupported handshake.
Additional exact node/permission/filter/alarm checks passed 13 Core and
46 Server cases.

The PR-scoped formatter verification covers 26 projects and 389
non-generated C# files. A Roslyn syntax audit covers 53 changed
interfaces and 263 members, with no missing
parameter/type-parameter/return contracts and a 120-column limit for
their declarations and documentation. No full-solution,
all-target-framework, or NativeAOT matrix is claimed from these local
runs; the new CI run must establish its own result.

## CI follow-up at `e1bc3ac3b`

The follow-up fixes the failures reported by Azure build 18400. TLS
certificates retain configured DNS names, including mixed-case URI
schemes, without relaxing hostname validation. Reverse-WSS fixtures use
the DNS identity in the client certificate. Reconnect completion is
published only after cycle cleanup, so a subsequent reconnect cannot
join an old completed cycle and retain old certificates.

Certificate-alarm roots now support event subscriptions. The pump sample
has one continuous notifier path, with no duplicate shortcut. Historian
and aggregate fixtures share the provider's retention clock. Alarm
collection lets the server expire idle Publish requests rather than
canceling only the client wait. The corrected server, WoT, and
managed-session fixtures exercise valid requests and initialized
lifecycle contracts. Downlevel crypto tests preserve real credential and
key-ownership assertions without enabling unsupported raw-ECDH policies
or adding skips.

Fresh local evidence after integration includes:

| Scope | Target | Passed | Skipped |
|---|---|---:|---:|
| Client lifecycle / channel ownership / builder fixtures | net10.0 and
net48, each | 96 / 103 / 123 | 0 |
| Combined server lifecycle, events, aggregates, crypto, and contracts |
net48 | 358 | 0 |
| Full lifecycle plus certificate-alarm and aggregate fixtures | net10.0
| 116 | 0 |
| Final server-contract and history-routing delta | net10.0 and net48,
each | 84 | 0 |
| Subscription / XRegistry / WoT event regressions | net10.0 | 7 / 2 / 3
| 0 |
| Full Sessions project | net10.0 | 780 | 379 |
| Full ComplexTypes project / downlevel resolver fixtures | net10.0 /
net48 | 2854 / 15 | 0 |
| Full WoT project / downlevel structured-write fixtures | net10.0 /
net48 | 1496 / 27 | 0 |
| TLS domain-name regressions | net10.0 and net48, each | 21 | 0 |

All listed runs exited 0. The Sessions skips come from existing endpoint
and policy capability guards; they are not counted as passes. No skip
was added. Worker validation also covered full DI (426 passes), full
History (540 passes, 21 existing skips), 38 exact downlevel
event/history failures, and 60 repeated certificate-rotation race cases.
The final crypto fixtures passed 73 cases on each target with the
unchanged leak detector; a temporary premature-disposal mutation made
all three borrower tests fail and was then removed.

All 29 C# files in this follow-up pass included-file formatting at info
severity across 12 projects. The complete PR interface audit now covers
54 interfaces and 271 members with zero missing contracts or line-width
findings. No full-solution or NativeAOT matrix is claimed. New-head CI
has started and remains authoritative for the remote result.

## Test-result gate follow-up at `4b6e1203a`

Azure build 18401 reported the net48 Client job as successful despite a
test-host crash after only 264 passing tests. Its old evaluator counted
per-test failures but ignored the failed run verdict. This was a partial
run, not a benign exit after the suite had completed.

The shared result evaluator now rejects aborted, errored, incomplete,
malformed, or inconsistent TRX reports. Each file must describe a
completed run, so a passing file cannot mask another file's failure. It
retains support for completed runs followed by a benign nonzero host
exit, existing skipped-result conventions, and no-TRX MTP jobs.

All 78 regression cases pass after integration using Windows PowerShell
5.1. Real completed Sessions and Client reports also pass. The
process-test fixture follows the existing NET10_0-only tools-test
pattern; its net48 build is not counted as a test run. Formatting passes
for the added test file.

The Client host crash itself has not reproduced locally. The isolated
fixture passed 59 tests, and two fresh full fast-CI selections each
completed with 2,392 passes and three existing skips, including a run
with crash collection enabled. The CI merge tree is identical to the
tested source tree. No speculative runtime change was made, and the
original partial CI run is not claimed as a full-suite pass. Azure build
18402 has now completed the full net48 Client run: 2,392 passed, three
existing console skips, and a successful test-host exit. The corrected
evaluator independently validated outcome=Completed. Across the matrix,
119 test-project jobs succeeded; Sessions net10.0 was canceled when the
remote provider deprovisioned its runner, so the overall Azure pipeline
was canceled. That cancellation is not claimed as a code failure or a
successful run. CodeQL and three Docker image jobs were still running at
the latest check. The migration discovery failure remains separate.

## Documentation follow-up at `57ed02bea`

The environment blocker has been removed by the maintainer. The three
bundled migration references now exactly match the canonical documents
after deterministic link rewriting; all 15 bundled documents pass
`validate-migration-plugin.ps1`. The canonical migration prose was not
rewritten. `FileSystemClient.md` now documents that extended Windows
roots preserve literal trailing-dot names, completing the filesystem
review follow-up.

The filesystem thread has been replied to and resolved after
publication. The review pass now has 108 of 110 threads resolved. The
two explanation-only threads remain open as requested; no unfinished
change request is being represented as resolved.

## Cross-platform follow-up at `0d9d936a8`

With migration discovery restored, the Linux and macOS test matrix
exposed two stale durable-subscription expectations. The expected value
83,442 encoded the old 32-bit overflow when converting 3,600 hours to
milliseconds. The existing overflow-safe server correctly returns
14,400,000 lifetime intervals at a 900 ms publishing interval. Only
those two expected constants changed; production behavior,
negotiated-hour checks, and all other assertions remain unchanged.

The exact local lifetime selection reproduced both failures before the
correction. The full durable suite now passes 36 cases with 11 existing
skips on each of net10.0 and net48. All four lifetime cases executed and
passed on both targets, and included-file info-severity formatting
passes.

## Session shutdown follow-up at `8daf7f091`

A late net48 Sessions failure exposed a shutdown race. Canceling an
in-flight keepalive read can produce a transport
`ServiceResultException`. The retiring worker treated its own
cancellation as proof that the peer was unavailable, so `CloseAsync` or
`DisposeAsync` could skip the server-side `CloseSession` request. The
worker now ignores that service error only when its own token is
canceled; genuine peer errors still update liveness.

The full integration fixture reproduced the original error-code
mismatch. Four deterministic mock-transport cases then produced three
failures and one passing genuine-error control before the fix. They
verify successful close, returned server error, asynchronous disposal,
and unchanged behavior for a real keepalive failure. Fresh related runs
pass 75 client and 101 integration cases on each of net48 and net10.0,
with no skips. Ten repetitions of the formerly flaky full net48 fixture
pass all 1,010 cases. All three changed files pass info-severity
formatting, and temporary diagnostic instrumentation was removed.

## Atomic listener snapshot follow-up at `82dc22b5d`

Ubuntu Core CI exposed an unsafe formatter rewrite in TCP listener
disposal: `ConcurrentDictionary.ToArray()` had become a collection
spread. A concurrent channel removal between the spread's count and copy
operations could leave a default entry, causing a null dereference
during disposal. The listener now uses the dictionary's atomic `Values`
snapshot and disposes those channels outside the listener lock.

Deterministic regressions close zero, one, or all channels at the copy
boundary. Before the fix, the one/all-removal cases reproduced the exact
null dereference; the unchanged-count control passed. All 23
admission/listener cases now pass on net10.0 and net48, and the full
fast Core net10.0 suite passes 5,267 cases with 88 existing platform
skips. Both changed files pass info-severity formatting. A bounded audit
of the formatter's other snapshot rewrites found no further verified
unsafe concurrent-registry copies.

## Shutdown-test observation follow-up at `58403ee8b`

The net48 shutdown-order test raced its own observation: it read
`m_publishWorkerTask` after starting shutdown, which can legitimately
drain the worker and clear that field immediately. The test now captures
the worker before shutdown starts and confirms it is initially running.
It still requires the worker to finish while shutdown remains blocked by
the held manager semaphore. Production behavior is unchanged.

A temporary scheduling perturbation reproduced the exact null-field
failure. The corrected capture passed 100 perturbed iterations; both the
temporary repeat and yield were then removed. The final 126
subscription/lifecycle cases pass on each of net48 and net10.0, and
formatting passes. A complete local Sessions net10.0 run also passed 780
cases with 379 existing capability skips in 7m20s after the earlier
keepalive correction.

## Retirement and alias-startup follow-up at `1a048ff39`

The shadow-generation test now observes its documented asynchronous
cleanup through the existing bounded helper. Removing the replacement
does not join a background drain that already claimed the retired
generation. The test still checks live-registration removal immediately
and requires the old node to disappear; no timeout or production
lifecycle behavior changed. All 81 lifecycle cases pass on each of
net10.0 and net48.

Initial alias-node materialization now retries one timed-out, read-only
snapshot query before creating nodes for that root. The retry is logged
through source-generated logging. Each query retains the original shared
100 ms deadline; repeated timeouts, other errors, and cancellation still
abort startup. Client searches and live refresh do not gain this
immediate retry. Fault-injection tests cover success after one timeout,
a persistent timeout, a different store failure, and cancellation. All
187 related alias/hosting cases and the original certificate-rotation
integration case pass on each target; the positive test records exactly
one retry warning. The alias documentation now accurately describes the
shared request budget.

All changed C# files pass formatter checks, and the complete
54-interface/271-member documentation audit passes. Fresh CI is running
on `1a048ff39`; the previous completed matrix exposed only the two
failures corrected in this batch and their dependent summaries.

## Sample endpoint allocation follow-up at `d08a94925`

The strong-cluster test harness allocated OPC UA and Raft endpoints in
separate released-port batches. Uniqueness was enforced only inside each
batch, so the same OS-assigned port could appear in both protocol
groups. The harness now requests one distinct batch for both groups and
splits it before launching any replicas.

Deterministic one- and three-replica allocation cases reproduced
overlapping groups with the old plan and pass with the corrected plan.
The complete 17-case short-haul sample suite passes without skips; all
failover, historian-continuation, and service assertions remain
unchanged. Both changed files pass info-severity formatting. This
prevents intra-cluster self-collisions but does not claim to reserve
released ports against unrelated external processes.

## Code-review follow-up at `085fd9636`

A review of the complete branch diff found five defects this PR
introduced. All are now fixed, each in its own commit.

`RelatedTo`'s recursive-to-iterative rewrite defaulted the optional
`includeTypeDefinitionSubtypes` and `includeReferenceTypeSubtypes`
operands to `false`. Part 4 §7.7.4 specifies both default to `true`, so
a filter that omitted them silently stopped matching subtypes.
Dynamically created key-credential nodes derived their namespace from
the containing folder, which is the standard `i=18155` node in namespace
0 — the namespace reserved for the OPC UA standard address space; they
now resolve the server-owned namespace and fail with `BadInternalError`
rather than guessing index 1. The retained audience-less
`CreateTokenData` overload produced tokens that verification always
rejects, so it is now `[Obsolete]` and throws instead. A failed
reference to a remote parent left the new node registered with a
one-sided inverse reference, and is now rolled back. An existing `.pfx`
is restricted before it is rewritten, rather than after its new key
bytes are on disk.

One further reported finding was rejected after investigation.
`JwksIssuerKeyResolver` deliberately does not dispose retired key
snapshots: `RetiredKeysAreCollectibleWhileResolverRemainsAliveAsync`
proves the resolver retains no retired snapshot, and
`ReturnedKeysSurviveRepeatedRefreshAndResolverDisposalAsync` requires
already-returned keys to keep verifying across refreshes and resolver
disposal. Adding disposal would have broken that tested contract, so the
exploratory change was reverted.

Validated on net10.0 and net48: 256 Core and 633 Server cases pass, with
one pre-existing net48 skip. The build reports zero compiler and
analyzer diagnostics, all eight included-file info-format checks pass,
the contract audit covers 58 interfaces and 310 members with no
findings, and the 15 bundled migration documents validate. All 122
review threads are resolved; the key-credential namespace thread was
reopened to retract an earlier incorrect answer and then resolved
against the real fix.
## Review-body follow-up at `da0d59cfb`

The re-review at `8daf7f091 + 82dc22b5d` listed four items in its
summary that had no inline thread of their own, so they had not been
picked up. All four are now fixed.

Both event-dispatch permission gates had been tightened from not-Bad to
`IsGood`, which silently dropped events whose permission verdict is
Uncertain; the data-change path in the same file still treated Uncertain
as deliverable, so the two had diverged. `EventSourceRegistry` only
cleared `ConsecutiveFailures` when a source was deactivated, so a source
that had backed off to the 30-second cap kept that delay for the rest of
the process even after starting successfully.
`UserNameIdentityTokenHandler` built a temporary issuer chain whose
`Add` calls take independent certificate references, and never released
them.

The fourth was the receiver-side sequence rollover, which the reviewer
had correctly re-flagged as still open despite its thread being
resolved. `m_sequenceRollover` was set permanently, so the second legal
wrap on a long-lived channel was rejected and faulted the channel along
with the transport-reconnect OPN. OPC 10000-6 does not cap a
SecureChannel at one wrap. The flag is now cleared once an accepted
number has traversed the normal range, which keeps rejecting a replayed
low number that never left the rollover window.

Validated on net10.0 and net48: 636 / 593 Core cases and 135 / 134
Server cases pass, including the new
`UaSCBinaryChannelSequenceRolloverTests` and the Uncertain-permission
delivery cases. The build reports zero compiler and analyzer diagnostics
and the changed files pass included-file info-format checks on both
targets.

The previous head `085fd9636` was fully green: 279 checks passed and
Azure build 18414 succeeded with 137 of 137 jobs, after the platform
automatically retried a job whose NuGet tool download had hit a
transient TLS error.
## Reported issues #4508 and #4509 at `6ad1ecf16`

**#4508 (V2 subscription recreate deadlocks against a faulted transport)
was not yet fixed and is now closed by `bac260a06`.** Both drain sites
the report identifies were still unbounded. A publish worker that
started its request before the quiesce parks inside the service call on
the channel ready gate while holding an active publish request; the
recreate that would make the channel ready is the very operation
awaiting the drain, so the wait never ends.

The drain now cancels in-flight attempts through a per-attempt token
linked to the worker token. An aborted worker rolls its acknowledgements
back, releases the request and returns to the paused park instead of
terminating, so it resumes when the caller leaves the quiesce. Publish
ingress stays quiesced for the caller's operation, so
`DropPendingForSubscription` keeps the guarantee the report asks to
preserve and no blind timeout is added. The new regression parks a
worker on a cancellable gate that never completes on its own: it
reproduces the hang for the full 30-second budget before the change and
passes after it.

**#4509 (identity provider fails the initial connect) was already fixed
for its primary symptom.** `HandleConnectAsync` materializes the
provider's identity through `CreateIdentitySelectionContext` before the
first `CreateAsync`, so Anonymous is no longer substituted against a
UserName-only endpoint. `6ad1ecf16` adds the two remaining details from
the report: the enabled-policy set now includes the negotiated channel
policy, so a client cannot reject the policy it already accepted as
`NotEnabledByClient`; and when discovery has not populated the
endpoint's token policies the connect keeps the configured identity so
the attempt fails at the transport layer for the reconnect policy to
retry, instead of failing at the identity layer.

Validated on net10.0 and net48: 477 / 473 client session and
subscription cases pass, the build is free of compiler and analyzer
diagnostics, and the changed files pass included-file info-format checks
on both targets. The full `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` suite also passes
locally on net10.0 with 782 passed and 379 pre-existing capability
skips.

GitHub checks are green on this head: Build and Test .NET 10.0, Docker
Sample Images CI, and NuGet Publish all succeeded. Azure build 18417
completed 134 of its 135 jobs successfully; its net10.0 Sessions job was
cancelled by the hosted-agent provider ("Received request to
deprovision"), the same infrastructure flake that hit build 18409
earlier on a head predating these changes. That job is not claimed as
passing, and the local full-suite run above covers the same project. The
previous head `da0d59cfb` completed Azure build 18415 with every job
succeeded.
## Review follow-up at `a08f0c12b`

Eleven new review threads arrived, nearly all documentation. Before
acting on each "this is new in 2.0" remark I checked the API against
`master378` rather than assuming, because a genuine 1.5 API still needs
its migration entry.

`ManagedSession`'s server-redundancy refresh had two hard-coded
two-second bounds. The new `ServerRedundancyOptions` exposes
`RefreshTimeout` for the metadata read and `PeerDiscoveryTimeout` for
each peer lookup, defaults both to the previous two seconds, validates
that a bound is positive or `Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan`, and flows
through `ManagedSessionOptions`, `ManagedSession.CreateAsync`, the
fluent builder, and `DefaultServerRedundancyHandler`.

`AsyncCustomNodeManager` and `KeyCredentialBridgeAuthenticator` are both
absent from `master378`, so their obsolete members had no compatibility
constraint and are removed rather than carried:
`AsyncCustomNodeManager.ReadInitialValue`, the audience-less
`CreateTokenData` that only threw, and the audience-less `CreateProof`
that produced a proof no server accepts.
`CustomNodeManager2.ReadInitialValue` and the `MonitoredNode2` migration
section are genuine 1.5 APIs and are untouched.

The documentation now states master's behaviour instead of the delta
from 1.5.378, with each moved item already covered under
`docs/migrate/2.0.x/`. `IHistorianAnnotationProvider` is described by
its annotation-time key rather than as "legacy" — it is new in 2.0, so
the label implied a compatibility constraint that does not exist. The
KeyCredential bridge payload's `"version"` field is explained as a
vendor-extension format version with no OPC UA counterpart, and its
version-1 upgrade narrative is gone. `CertificateManager.md`'s migration
walkthrough is replaced by the resolver API it targets.
`NodeManagers.md`, `Sessions.md`, `AsyncServerSupport.md`,
`Certificates.md`, and `Profiles.md` no longer announce features
relative to 1.5. `Benchmarks.md`, `WhatsNewIn2.0.md`,
`DeveloperGuide.md`, and `docs/migrate/` keep their 1.5.378 references,
which are their subject.

CI then exposed a defect this batch introduced: five fixtures resolve
`ManagedSession`'s private constructor by its exact positional parameter
types, so the added parameter compiled cleanly but made `GetConstructor`
return `null` at run time. `7df1d5c40` updates every site;
`Redundancy.Client` passes 126 of 126 and the affected client fixtures
112 of 112.

The BouncyCastle question is answered and tracked in #4510:
`Opc.Ua.Core` already project-references `Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates`,
which already carries the conditional BouncyCastle reference, so the
raw-ECDH polyfill belongs there rather than as a new Core dependency.
The `IUserDatabase` metadata question is addressed to another maintainer
and is deliberately left open.

## Reported issue #4509 follow-up at `5d4d13d63`

The reporter verified `6ad1ecf16` and found one case still failing,
correctly. The empty-token-policies branch kept the configured identity
so a server that is down surfaces a transport failure rather than an
identity error. A provider-only configuration has no configured
identity, so it kept `null`: `OpenCoreAsync` turned that into Anonymous
and `OpenValidateIdentity` rejected it with `BadIdentityTokenInvalid`,
silently ignoring the configured provider.

The branch now requires a configured identity to defer to. Without one
the provider is consulted, so its own `BadIdentityTokenRejected` names
the offered and rejected policy set instead. Two regression tests cover
both configurations; the first fails against the previous behaviour by
reaching the session factory with a `null` identity, which is the exact
step that produced the reported error. That branch had shipped without a
test, which is why the case was missed.

## Review and CI status at `5d4d13d63`

**All actionable review threads are resolved: 132 of 133.** The single
open thread is a question the reviewer addressed to another maintainer
about moving user metadata into `IUserDatabase`; it is left open for
them rather than resolved silently. Every resolved thread carries a
reply naming its fix commit.

**Latest-head CI is green on `5d4d13d63`: 279 checks passed, zero
failed, zero pending**, with one conditional signed-package publishing
job skipped. Local validation for this batch: the full
`Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` suite passes 2,430 of 2,430 on net10.0,
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Client.Tests` 126 of 126, and `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests`
590 of 590 for the affected selections. Both net10.0 and net48 build
clean for `Opc.Ua.Client`, `Opc.Ua.Server`, and the changed test
projects, and all changed files pass included-file info-severity
formatting on both targets.

The PR remains open; no merge was performed. As stated at the top, this
does not claim that every item in the 244-finding audit backlog is
complete.
## Latest CI follow-up at `b6f2dfa43`

Azure build 18442 exposed a net48 compile regression in the Kafka
adapter: `RuntimeHelpers.GetUninitializedObject` is unavailable on .NET
Framework. Commit `2cf1e0eed` now uses normal `ProducerMessage`
construction on `NETFRAMEWORK` while retaining reflection-based
construction for modern targets that can load a different Dekaf runtime
asset. The exact net48 CI selection passes 92 of 92 tests, and the
netstandard2.1 adapter guard selection passes 11 of 11.

After merging the latest `master`, GitHub Actions run 35643592139 is
green. The initial Ubuntu Core.Schema job built successfully and passed
160 of 160 tests, then hit an external 403 while finalizing its
test-result artifact; its failed-job rerun completed successfully. Azure
build 18451 was canceled when its remote provider deprovisioned the
net10.0 Sessions runner (`Received request to deprovision: The request
was cancelled by the remote provider`). Azure attached no test task log
or source error, and the canceled parent left that child check stale as
in-progress. No source workaround, test skip, or check relaxation was
made for either infrastructure failure.

Copilot d7dd1b0369 Fix telemetry component assembly identification (#4490)
# Description

Telemetry extensions resolved meters and activity sources as
`Opc.Ua.Types`, with results dependent on helper inlining. This
prevented reliable attribution to the emitting component.

- **Existing telemetry contract**: Add `CreateMeter(Assembly)` and
`GetActivitySource(Assembly)` directly to `ITelemetryContext`. The
separate `IAssemblyTelemetryContext` interface has been removed.
- **Reliable component attribution**: Capture the caller assembly in
non-inlined `CreateMeter`, `GetActivitySource`, and `StartActivity`
extensions, then forward it to the existing telemetry context.
- **Call-site routing and fallback**: Keep non-null meter calls on
`telemetry.CreateMeter()`. Use explicit
`TelemetryExtensions.CreateMeter(telemetry)` for nullable-context
fallback. Preserve default meter/activity-source fallback when a context
returns null.
- **Coverage and documentation**: Cover caller-assembly naming,
direct-context and extension routing, activity creation, and null-result
fallback. Update diagnostics examples, OpenTelemetry filters, and
migration guidance.

**Compatibility:** Direct implementations of `ITelemetryContext` must
implement the two new assembly-aware members. `TelemetryContextBase`
supplies both. This interface addition is documented in the 2.0
migration guide; legacy implementer compatibility is not claimed.

## Local validation

The Release build and focused `TelemetryExtensionsTests` fixture pass on
both target frameworks:

| Target | Result |
| --- | --- |
| net10.0 | Passed: 6, Failed: 0, Skipped: 0 |
| net48 | Passed: 6, Failed: 0, Skipped: 0 |

Both builds emit existing CA5394 warnings in
`NodeStateChildNameIndexTests.cs`, which is unchanged by this PR. The
full solution test suite was not run during this feedback pass.

Marc Schier fa8d45f2cf Fix server/core validation, lifecycle and protocol regressions (#4477)
# Description

**Server/core audit fixes with regression tests. Latest review-fix
validation, merge validation and earlier acceptance results are
distinguished below.**

This addresses a 95-finding server/core report. Every finding was
reviewed with
the OPC UA specification knowledge base or, where the standard does not
prescribe a C# implementation, the corresponding ownership/configuration
contract. Incorrect or withdrawn subclaims remain qualified rather than
being
presented as additional fixes.

The original checkpoint covers session identity/certificate validation
and
revocation; certificate/key ownership and transactional updates; TCP
reconnect,
receive/admission and buffer lifetime; HTTP quotas; subscription
admission,
durability and pooled payloads; file-operation lifecycle; historian
aggregates;
fluent/state-machine behavior; and related utilities. It includes
targeted
regressions and directly related documentation.

The approved acceptance cleanup is separate in the commit history:

| Cleanup | Verified result |
| --- | --- |
| Invalid identity-policy and KeyCredential fixture inputs | Fixtures
explicitly advertise Username and use its generated policy ID.
Credential persistence uses valid clear mode inside the existing
encrypted admin context. Original permission, lockout and negative
encryption assertions remain. |
| Native GDS lifetime and concurrent connection failures | Retain
ApplicationInstance until client teardown. A deterministic native
reproducer proved the test-only channel cap of 10 was exhausted;
removing that override restores the existing bounded default of 1000. No
global serialization or production quota change. |
| Stress certificate ownership and close accounting | Balance two helper
references and the fake transport's server-certificate ownership.
Replace the invalid event-count bound with exactly-once physical
disposal, opens = closes, zero active entries and one logical entry
lifetime. |
| Participant deadlines | Use the injected TimeProvider with the
existing cross-framework WaitAsync overload. Tests pin one tick before,
exact expiry, terminal notification, recovery and timely completion. |
| Reproducibility and platform assertions | Preserve canonical WoT
bytes/hashes, explicit display-culture contracts and exact
numeric-vector assertions. Accept Apple's CryptographicException subtype
without weakening disposal balance. |
| Missing user-signature proof | Reject null/empty proofs before OS
crypto. Return BadUserSignatureInvalid per Part 4, 5.7.3.3. None-policy
and valid-signature controls remain. A CI-only test nullable-context
error was corrected without changing production behavior. |
| Durable sample restore and shared test storage | Dequeue waits for
actual batch residency instead of treating failed restore completion as
success, and restored files close before deletion. Five deterministic
regressions failed before the fix. The two fixtures that clear the
shared batch directory are isolated; all original 3,000-item assertions
remain unchanged. |

## Latest review follow-up

Commit `828856850219518970e8e2f580b8f94b3c1fc748` fixes the deferred
robotics
disposal reported in the latest review.
`RobotIntentNodeManager.DisposeAsync`
now joins a shared controller-host drain and then explicitly awaits base
node-manager disposal. A controller's bounded shutdown wait may defer
its
cleanup, but no longer lets the node-manager override finish early.
Concurrent
callers, including an asynchronous call after synchronous `Dispose`,
cannot
bypass the drain after the host list has been detached.

Synchronous disposal remains nonblocking for deferred work. Deferred
initialization failures are logged and retained, and base cleanup
failures
propagate to asynchronous callers. The existing controller-level bounded
disposal contract is unchanged; the node-manager contract is documented
in
`docs/Robotics.md`.

| Regression requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Wait for deferred hosts; preserve synchronous compatibility and
concurrent joins | `NodeManagerAsyncDisposalWaitsForDeferredHostsAsync`:
four cases covering both entry-point orders and zero/positive host
shutdown waits. All four failed before the fix. |
| Wait through base cleanup and observe failures |
`NodeManagerDisposalWaitsForBaseCleanupAndReportsItsFailureAsync`: four
cases hold the actual base-resource semaphore, verify pending callers
after the host finishes, then check success or the same propagated
exception and exactly-once cleanup. |

The focused `IntentHostingCoverageTests` and
`IntentControllerHostTests.Dispose`
selection passed **30/30 on net10.0 and 30/30 on net48**, with no
failures or
skips. The final net10 solution build passed with zero errors and only
the four
previously documented CA2249 warnings in unchanged fuzz-test code. No
new
warnings, analyzer suppressions, dependencies, or weakened assertions
were added.
The review thread received a commit-specific reply and was explicitly
resolved.

This verification is scoped to the robotics feedback; the earlier full
Subscriptions-run limitation remains recorded in the merge section
below.


## Documentation review follow-up (2026-09-14)

Commit `f9a9686fcc5d3cfd19cbbc8c2d826e20f5c7e72f` addresses the six
follow-up
threads on documentation and implementation rationale. Each has an
in-thread
reply citing the commit and an explicit resolution.

Multiline XML documentation now covers the declarations introduced or
modified
throughout the entire PR, including internal contracts, samples, tests,
and
public members of related private helpers. A syntax-aware inventory
checked
**2,031 declarations across all 256 PR C# paths with zero documentation
gaps**.
A supplementary check also covers **75 previously unchanged public
members**
of private helpers involved in the changed code. Token comparison across
the
conditional-compilation branches proves this follow-up changes **no
executable
C# or test assertions**. Project-file changes are rationale comments
only.

The implementation questions are documented at their source:

| Question | Resolution |
| --- | --- |
| Certificate assembly friendship | Server Push configuration reuses the
internal explicit-subject CSR helper with the existing key; no public
crypto API was added. |
| Core.Types assembly friendship | Server builders use internal
transition callbacks/revision guards; Server.Tests checks the revision
deterministically without creating a public compatibility contract. |
| Always-single-reader notifications | One dequeuer preserves event
order; optional concurrency fans out within one event and joins before
the next event. |
| Asynchronous disposal completion | `DisposeAsync` already joins the
completion published after admitted operations and all cleanup attempts.
The compatibility `Dispose` remains nonblocking to avoid deadlocking an
admitted callback against its own drain. |

The requested detailed review disposition follows. It distinguishes
actual
fixes from confirmed policies and incorrect subclaims rather than
counting every
comment as a new runtime change.


### Detailed disposition of review 5191795284

The [SDK
review](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/pull/4477#pullrequestreview-5191795284)
was submitted against `1c4a9df6c`, before the subsequent merge and
feedback fixes.
Its **15 inline threads** have each received an action-specific reply
and an
explicit resolution. A fresh GraphQL query verified those replies and
resolution
states; the fixes in `b8a59990f` remain ancestors of the current branch.

| Review concern | Action and disposition | Concrete regression evidence
|
| --- | --- | --- |
| Injected certificate-store providers bypassed | **Fixed.**
Registration, configuration snapshots, and validation use the injected
providers. Explicit custom types remain authoritative; the built-in
Directory catch-all is deferred so native X509 paths and later custom
providers are not captured. Failed store opens dispose the created
store. | `InjectedProviderResolvesRegisteredAndConfiguredTrustStores`
covers default-provider ordering and both registration paths; provider
validation/open-failure cases and the unchanged
`TrustedCertificateInjectedViaIndependentX509StoreIsObservedAsync` cover
real use and independent-store visibility. |
| Unguarded timer-thread leadership callbacks | **Fixed.** Each
subscriber's exception is logged independently and cannot suppress
subsequent subscribers or fail lease operations. `IsLeader` reads the
deadline without invoking application callbacks. |
`ThrowingLeadershipSubscriberDoesNotFailAcquireOrDisposeAsync`,
`ExpiryNotifiesOtherSubscribersWhenOneThrowsAsync`, and
`IsLeaderDoesNotDispatchExpiryNotificationsAsync` were all demonstrated
failing before the fix. |
| Legacy pending-key provider accepts an unfinishable regenerated CSR |
**Fixed by explicit capability validation.** A provider implementing
only `IPendingCertificateKeyStore` receives `BadNotSupported` before key
generation or persistence when regeneration is requested. Existing-key
CSR/update remains supported. Regeneration requires matching-only
consumption; no unsafe destructive probing was introduced. |
`LegacyPendingProviderRejectsRegenerationBeforeCreatingOrSavingAKeyAsync`
checks no key or store mutation;
`LegacyPendingProviderCompletesExistingKeySigningAndUpdateAsync` proves
the supported flow completes. |
| Shutdown waits behind user deactivation | **Fixed.** Accepted
deactivations drain before the master's lifecycle gate is taken.
Configuration retains its binding until the shared drain completes,
including concurrent shutdown callers and direct master disposal. | Four
cases of `ShutdownDrainsDeactivationOutsideTheSessionClosingGateAsync`
exercise real configuration/binding/ServerInternalData/master reentry,
retained address space, exact session/subscription closure, and no
production cancellation shortcut. |
| Subclass cleanup runs under the operation-lifetime lock | **Fixed.**
Cleanup starts outside that lock. A pre-published completion joins all
disposers, and only the active asynchronous teardown context may use
guarded helpers. Captured contexts lose that privilege when the callback
exits. |
`SynchronousOwnedCleanupLetsSamplingWorkerReachClosedAdmissionAsync`,
`DisposeCoreCanUseGuardedMembersWithoutReopeningCallerAdmissionAsync`,
captured-context rejection, and exact cleanup-failure/ownership
assertions cover both synchronous and suspended cleanup. |
| Discovery requestId-zero chunk read after pool return | **Fixed by the
earlier merge.** Discovery validation precedes `SaveIntermediateChunk`;
no read occurs after that path can return the buffer. The ordering is
retained. | `DiscoveryChannelReadsTheFirstChunkBeforeItIsReturnedAsync`
uses a poisoning pool and the requestId-zero path. |
| T1.8 OPN cleanup misses post-decryption throws | **Fixed by the
earlier merge and pinned with new regressions.** Both sequence rejection
and certificate mismatch release the decrypted body and input ownership.
| `OpenSecureChannelRejectionAfterDecryptionReturnsEveryRentalAsync`
checks the exact audit status and pool conservation. Omitting either
corresponding release in an isolated snapshot made its case fail; no
mutation remains. |
| T1.2 mount-root protection depends on the provider | **Fixed at the
host boundary.** Separator-only aliases resolve to the protected root.
Traversal, empty/whitespace segments, backslashes, and drive/stream
qualifiers are rejected before arbitrary providers are invoked. Valid
nested paths and root destinations remain supported. | A deliberately
permissive provider is used by
`NonCanonicalObjectPathsCannotDeleteMoveOrCopyAsync` and invalid-target
cases; exact zero-call checks are paired with legitimate
nested-path/root-destination controls. |
| Inline trusted/issuer entries now face CRL checks | **Intentional
strict behavior, documented and tested.** A configured backing store
with strict unknown-status rejection requires current revocation
information. Explicit-only lists without a store retain their no-store
behavior. Actual revocation cannot be suppressed; a matching store
entry's policy takes precedence. |
`InlineIssuerWithStoreHonorsStrictUnknownRevocationPolicyAsync`,
`InlineIssuerRevocationIsNeverSuppressedAsync`, store-precedence cases,
and explicit-only controls preserve the missing-information versus
actual-revocation distinction in Part 4 6.1.3. |
| RSA minimum applied to unspecified ECC identifiers | **Fixed at the
application-certificate check.** The RSA minimum is compared only with
an actual RSA public key. An unspecified ECC identity is not replaced
simply because its key size is below an RSA threshold. |
`SilentCertificateCheckPreservesUnspecifiedEccIdentityAsync` checks DER,
thumbprint, store contents, and private-key retention; explicit RSA and
HTTPS minimum controls remain. |
| Failed directory refresh wedges corrective mutations | **Fixed.**
Recoverable automatic pre-refresh failures are logged and leave
reconciliation pending, but do not block corrective provider mutations.
Explicit refresh errors, capacity admission, caller cancellation, and
actual provider denials remain enforced. |
`CorrectiveDeleteRecoversAfterPersistentOverLimitRefreshFailureAsync`
converges an externally over-limit directory back to its exact allowed
contents. Capacity, cancellation/token, and six refresh-error controls
check negative paths. |
| Timed-transition rejection logs at 10 Hz | **Fixed.** Repeated
`(state, revision, status)` warnings are deduplicated without changing
the retry cadence. A different status or state entry permits another
warning. | `RepeatedTimedRejectionLogsOnceAndRecoversAsync` checks one
warning over eleven rejections and success on the next attempt.
Status-change and same/different-state reentry controls pin reset
behavior. |
| Bad unsubscribe strands retired-generation bookkeeping | **Fixed.**
Retired all-event bookkeeping completes even when unsubscribe reports
Bad; the first Bad is still returned to the caller. | Good and
BadCommunicationError cases of
`RetiredAllEventsDeletionCompletesBookkeepingAndReleasesGenerationAsync`
check event/snapshot removal, generation release, and exactly one
unsubscribe without finalization replay. |
| CSR subject parsing and fallback | **Fixed for existing and
regenerated keys.** Omitted subjects fall back to the actual stored
certificate. Regeneration resolves the public certificate's subject
before creating a key. Malformed or unresolvable subjects return
`BadInvalidArgument` before pending-key mutation. | Store-only fallback,
real-generator null/empty cases, and missing-subject/malformed-DN
controls verify the signed CSR, matching fresh pending key, unchanged
active identity, and no destructive side effects. |
| Committed RemoveUser change reported as failed | **Fixed for
RemoveUser and ModifyUser.** Accepted cleanup is still awaited and close
failures remain logged, but cannot replace the committed mutation
result. Precommit failures retain their original result and side
effects. |
`CommittedUserChangeKeepsResultAndPublishedUsersWhenCloseFailsAsync`
checks published Users, Good result, logging, and continued closes.
`FailedUserChangeKeepsPublishedUsersAndDoesNotCloseSessionsAsync` checks
BadNotFound with no publication or close. |
| Alleged pooled decoded-request aliasing | **No runtime redesign
needed; reviewer rebuttal confirmed.** The decoder copies the relevant
input data. Misleading ownership comments were corrected rather than
introducing a new dispatch model. |
`DecodedRequestRetainsValuesAfterInputBuffersAreReturnedAsync` checks
the exact decoded NodeId and ByteString after returned arrays are
poisoned. |

The current documentation-only follow-up rechecked **104 Core, 473
Server, and
4 Configuration cases** covering these concerns: **581 passed, zero
failed or
skipped**. The final net10 solution build also passed with **zero
warnings and
errors**. The complete earlier Core/Server/Configuration and net48
results remain
listed separately rather than being presented as rerun current-head
acceptance.

## Earlier review follow-up

Commit `b8a59990fe2e8e967a12ffd5d9158beed7831143` addresses all 19
review
threads. Each thread has an in-thread reply naming this commit and was
explicitly
resolved after verification; the final paginated query found 19 resolved
and
zero unresolved threads.

The follow-up fixes injected certificate-store selection (including
default
provider ordering and native X509 paths), actual-RSA minimum
enforcement, and
CSR capability/subject validation before key mutation. Node-manager
teardown
uses simpler scoped ownership and drains accepted user revocation
outside the
master gate; committed user results and retired-event cleanup remain
correct
when cleanup reports failure. File mutations can recover after failed
refresh
without bypassing capacity or cancellation, provider paths protect mount
roots,
and repeated timed rejections no longer flood logs. Leadership
subscriber
failures are isolated without callbacks from `IsLeader`.

Regressions also pin the already-merged OPN/discovery buffer fixes and
prove
decoded request values do not borrow returned input buffers. The strict
inline
issuer revocation policy is documented and tested, not weakened.
Existing tests
were changed only for the reviewed behavior: the incorrect
committed-user result
was corrected, and inline-issuer/root-alias controls were expanded.

### Review-fix validation

| Suite | Scope | Framework | Passed | Existing TRX NotExecuted |
| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Core | Complete project | net10.0 | 4,970 | 88 |
| Server | Complete project | net10.0 | 6,414 | 69 |
| Configuration | Complete project | net10.0 | 231 | 0 |
| Core | Certificate, lease and buffer compatibility slice | net48 | 153
| 0 |
| Server | Reviewed lifecycle, user, file, timer and CSR compatibility
slice | net48 | 692 | 0 |
| Configuration | Complete project | net48 | 231 | 0 |
| CSR provider regressions | Final portable-mock follow-up | net10.0 |
11 | 0 |

All runs exited successfully with normal concurrency and leak detection.
The Server console reports 5 skips; its TRX additionally records
existing
assumption/explicit cases, hence the 69-record count above. The
Framework build
caught two modern-only `ValueTask.CompletedTask` usages in new mock
setup; only
those expressions changed to the equivalent portable
`default(ValueTask)`.
The complete modern suites precede that test-only correction; all
production
files remained byte-identical, and the corrected fixture passed on both
targets.

The final net10 solution build succeeded with 0 errors and the same 4
CA2249
warnings in unchanged fuzz-test code. Diff checks and changed-line
whitespace
checks are clean; whole-file formatting still identifies 10 unchanged
baseline
lines, which were not reformatted outside the feedback scope. The
committed
35-file tree was hash-verified against the validation inputs.

This is the review-feedback verification scope, not a rerun or sign-off
of the
historical complete platform/native/soak acceptance campaign below.


## Latest upstream merge

Merge `9d9bf679f317164c5b2b90924cd3cdc27a86d451` integrates `master`
through `162fc5ebb` (#4486),
including the AddNodes child-name index, shared certificate-error
reporting,
CTT sample-data corrections, and the accompanying regressions and
documentation.

The CreateSession conflict preserves this branch's certificate
ownership,
required certificate, application-URI, and channel-certificate checks.
The
validation result now retains nested errors through `ThrowIfInvalid`,
allowing
the upstream shared reporting helper to mask trust, policy, and
revocation
failures consistently without losing audit detail.

The new indexed AddNodes regression initially attempted to reuse a
deterministic
NodeId after renaming its existing node. Renaming frees the BrowseName,
not that
NodeId. `IndexedBrowseNameReusePreservesExistingNodeIdentityAsync` now
proves
both contracts: the derived-ID collision leaves the original node
intact, then
a fresh explicitly requested ID can reuse the old name while the new
name
remains protected against duplicates. No production identity rule was
relaxed.
The incoming seeded random-index test uses the existing `UnsecureRandom`
wrapper
with the same seed and sequence; no new analyzer suppression was added.

All selected runs exited successfully at normal concurrency: **6,602
passing
test executions**. Modified test assemblies were explicitly rebuilt, and
the
combined name/identity regression was verified by name in both net10 and
net48
results. No skips or weakened assertions were introduced.

The final `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release --no-restore -m:1` with
`CustomTestTarget=net10.0` succeeded with **zero warnings and zero
errors**.
The resolved source and adjusted tests pass whitespace verification, and
their
source hashes match the validation inputs.

This is merge-specific verification. Earlier review results and the
previously
reported incomplete full Subscriptions runs below remain scoped to their
own
commits; they were not reopened or relabeled as passing by this
operation.

## Previous upstream merge (2026-09-15 morning)

Merge `c4694e20ab089c555af233642042133ff3a03ac8` integrates `master`
through `484d6c887`, retaining
#4481's shared Like parser/GDS query fixes, #4488's RequestHandle
recovery in
ServiceFaults, and #4487's expired-session and durable-transfer
corrections.

Three conflict resolutions preserve both sides:

- Alias searches now use the shared `LikePattern` implementation,
including
upstream malformed-list validation. A timeout overload retains this
branch's
100 ms per-alias deadline and `BadTimeout` reporting without keeping a
second
wildcard translator. The shared matcher's original unlimited overload
remains
unchanged for existing GDS/ContentFilter callers. New regressions cover
bounded prefix/list scans, reuse after timeout, and the alias service
result.
- Expired activation closes outside the session-manager gate using
upstream's
once-only timeout claim, audit, and diagnostic accounting. This branch's
  original-channel and security-policy checks remain in place.
- TCP buffer tests retain this branch's ownership, poisoning-pool and
post-decryption checks alongside the upstream RequestHandle/fault
overload
  tests; neither set was discarded.

The upstream HTTPS binary behavior is intentionally retained: a decoder
`ServiceResultException` produces HTTP 200 with an OPC UA ServiceFault
carrying
the decoder status, response timestamp, and recoverable RequestHandle,
rather
than the previous HTTP 500 text response. Other exceptions retain their
existing HTTP error handling.

| Local validation | Framework | Passed | TRX NotExecuted |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Core, complete project | net10.0 | 5,054 | 88 |
| Sessions, complete project | net10.0 | 780 | 610 |
| Server aliases, expiry/security and subscriptions | net10.0 | 288 | 0
|
| GDS database, paging and live directory calls | net10.0 | 263 | 0 |
| Shared Like patterns and bounded evaluation | net10.0 | 109 | 0 |
| Subscriptions transfer/durability/service selection | net10.0 | 23 | 1
|
| HTTPS WebApi, complete project | net10.0 | 346 | 0 |
| InformationModel aliases | net10.0 | 54 | 5 |
| Shared Like patterns and bounded evaluation | net48 | 109 | 0 |
| Core fault handles, TCP/HTTPS and filters | net48 | 268 | 0 |
| Server aliases, expiry/security and subscriptions | net48 | 288 | 0 |

These selected runs exited successfully with normal test concurrency:
**7,582 passing test executions**. Sessions' console reports 379 skips;
the
TRX also contains conditional/assumption exclusions, so the table uses
the
actual 610 NotExecuted records. No skips or weakened assertions were
added.
The new `EvaluationTimeoutBoundsWorkAndPreservesPatternReuse` and
`SharedPatternTimeoutRemainsAnAliasServiceError` tests passed on both
targets.

**Validation limitation:** two unfiltered Subscriptions runs did not
produce
a final result and were stopped, including a retry with a hang guard.
They
are not counted as passing. The isolated failover fixture passed 2/2,
and the
transfer/durability/service selection above passed. The stall's cause
was not
established; no unrelated code or test was changed to conceal it.

The final `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release --no-restore -m:1` with
`CustomTestTarget=net10.0` succeeded with **0 warnings and 0 errors**.
Whitespace verification passed for all hand-reconciled files, and staged
source hashes match the validation inputs.

These are merge-specific checks, not a new full platform/native/soak
acceptance
sign-off. Earlier review and acceptance evidence below remains dated to
its
own commit.

## Previous upstream merge (2026-09-14)

Merge `c3e09553e4d1509502d4ba751960d58491bea2cf` integrates `master`
through `6313e38a0` (#4478),
including the CTT-driven Part 13 aggregate corrections and FindAlias
argument
validation. The upstream tests and CTT documentation are retained.

The single conflict in `AliasNameWildcardMatcher` is reconciled through
the
branch's shared regex compiler: upstream malformed-pattern rejection and
`IsValidPattern` coexist with OPC UA character escaping,
whole-string/newline
matching, the 100 ms timeout, and service-level error reporting. The
upstream
ReferenceTypeFilter checks and chronological aggregate behavior are
preserved.

Local merge verification:

| Suite / selection | Framework | Passed | Existing skips |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Server aliases, aggregates and historian | net10.0 | 1,011 | 0 |
| Server aliases, aggregates and historian | net48 | 1,011 | 0 |
| InformationModel aliases | net10.0 | 54 | 5 |
| Features aliases | net10.0 | 11 | 0 |
| Client aliases | net10.0 | 28 | 0 |
| History aggregate/historical-access consumers | net10.0 | 265 | 0 |

All selected tests passed at normal concurrency. The final net10
solution
build passed with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
The resolved file's whitespace check and the staged diff check passed.
These
are merge-specific checks, not a new full platform/native/soak
acceptance claim.

## Previous upstream merges

Integrates `master` through `8e874d073`, including the Client, Types,
Core and
source-generator audit fixes in #4471, #4473, #4474 and #4475, plus the
event queue-size revision from #4480. The merge commits are `150ea0439`
(26 conflict resolutions) and `a0e17c07c` (the base update that arrived
during
validation).

The overlapping fixes are reconciled rather than replacing either
branch:

- **Rejected-certificate retention follows this branch, as explicitly
requested:**
zero means unlimited history; negative values disable new storage while
preserving existing backend trimming behavior (Directory clears prior
history;
shared key/value leaves it intact). The processor and manager policy are
not
  redefined, and documentation/tests describe the distinction.
- Preserve owned certificate snapshots and borrowed validation-core
lifetimes
  alongside upstream cache invalidation, store-first CRL checks and
  `BadCertificateRevocationUnknown` for unsupported revocation lookup.
- Combine exactly-once chunk ownership, receive-loop cancellation,
stale-epoch
rejection and detach-before-adoption with upstream
signature-before-padding
  verification and secret cleanup.
- Preserve pooled `HttpClient` per-request configuration together with
bounded
response reads and deadlines that remain active through body
consumption.
Regression cases exercise already-used clients and both timeout
precedence cases.
- Retain the binary-compatible channel-key constructor and normalize
omitted
profiles; preserve exact profile filtering and upstream binary-first
HTTPS/WSS
  endpoint ordering.
- Preserve monotonic lease expiry and stale-confirmation fencing while
adding
ordered, non-reentrant leadership notifications outside the state lock.

## Validation

Local validation of the conflict-resolution merge:

| Suite | Framework | Passed | Existing skips |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Core | net10.0 | 4,940 | 88 |
| Client | net10.0 | 2,278 | 0 |
| Server | net10.0 | 6,088 | 5 |
| Types | net10.0 | 10,394 | 1 |
| SourceGeneration.Core | net10.0 | 3,940 | 8 |
| SourceGeneration | net10.0 | 185 | 0 |
| Core | net48 | 4,855 | 104 |

After the subsequent four-file #4480 update, the related Server slice
passed
811 tests with 5 existing skips, the real durable queue-size cases
passed 6/6,
and EventManager's 21 cases passed again after analyzer-only
expected-array
cleanup. The final `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release` with
`CustomTestTarget=net10.0`
succeeded: 0 errors and 4 pre-existing CA2249 warnings in unchanged
fuzz-test
code. Whitespace verification passed for the resolved files and the
follow-up.

Merge-specific proof includes
`RequestTimeoutRemainsActiveWhileReadingTheOpenApiBodyAsync` on
already-used
shared clients with either the request or HttpClient timeout shorter,
the
existing ownership/expiry regressions from both branches, and both
branches'
retention tests adjusted only to the explicitly chosen zero/negative
contract.

Earlier acceptance at `1c4a9df6c` passed hosted Linux/macOS CI, CodeQL,
image
builds and the canonical coverage gate (87.15% line, 77.27% branch,
92.14% patch).
Both Framework project matrices, all three Windows native suites (183
cases),
and the unfiltered net10 stress project (230 cases, including full
60-minute
chaos and 30-minute memory soaks) also passed. Those are **pre-merge
results**,
not a claim that the full framework/platform/native/soak matrix has been
rerun
on this merge. The previous acceptance workflow remains separate from
this
review-feedback operation.

Security checks, meaningful assertions, leak detection, default native
concurrency, full soak durations and coverage thresholds remain intact.
The user-set ready-for-review state is unchanged. No architectural or
complete
merged-head acceptance sign-off is claimed.

romanett 89a86095ce Release managed channel lease refcount synchronously on Dispose (fixes flaky failover lease test) (#4489)
## Summary

Fixes the intermittent CI failure of
`ChannelManagerSessionLifecycleIntegrationTests.FailoverSwapsOnlyOneLeaseWhenChannelsAreSharedAsync`
(`Assert.That(diagnosticA.Refcount, Is.EqualTo(1))` — *Expected: 1 But
was: 2*, seen on `test-ubuntu-latest-Sessions`, run 34942309083).

**The bug was in the product, not the test.**
`ManagedTransportChannelLease.Dispose()` handed the whole release off to
a background task, including the entry's refcount decrement. During
failover, `Session.RecreateInPlaceCoreAsync` releases the old lease with
a synchronous `Dispose()` and then reports `Failover -> Connected` right
away. So until the thread pool got to that task, the shared channel
still counted the released lease. Any consumer reading
`GetChannelDiagnostics()` / refcount metrics after failover could see
it, not just the test.

## Change

- `ChannelEntry.ReleaseLease` (new, sync): removes the lease and
decrements the refcount under the entry lock before returning. Only the
teardown of a channel nobody uses any more (network close, state-change
events) runs on `BackgroundWork`. `Dispose()` still never blocks on
network I/O.
- `ReleaseLeaseAsync` and `ReleaseLease` now share one `DetachLease`
helper.
- `TearDownAsync(reason, onlyIfUnused: true)` checks again under the
lock that the refcount and operation count are still zero. If a lease
was acquired between the release and the deferred teardown, the channel
stays open instead of being closed under the new lease. This gap already
existed, but the fix would have made it wider.

The integration test is unchanged: with this fix, the state it asserts
is guaranteed when it asserts it, so no polling is needed.

## Verification

- New unit test
`ClientChannelManagerManagedTests.SyncDisposeReleasesLeaseRefcountBeforeReturningAsync`:
**fails on master at the first iteration** (Refcount 2 right after
`Dispose()`) and passes with the fix.
- Could not reproduce the integration failure on Windows: 12/12 passes
under full CPU load, because the thread pool usually wins the race.
Adding a 200 ms delay to the old deferred release **reproduced the exact
CI failure** (line 257, Expected 1 / But was 2). Adding the same 200 ms
delay to the new background teardown instead: the lifecycle tests and
all `ClientChannelManager*` unit tests passed, so the fix does not
depend on timing.
- net10.0: Core `Stack.Client` 236/236, Sessions full suite 778 passed /
0 failed, Client ChannelManager+ManagedSession 279/279, Stress
`Channels.Contract` + `FailoverLeaseSwap` 35/35.
- `dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes` clean on changed files.

romanett 162fc5ebb3 Fix AddNodes scaling and OpenSecureChannel revocation errors found by CTT Monitored Item, Node Management and security runs (#4486)
# Description

Findings from running the CTT conformance groups **Monitored Item
Services**, **Node Management Services**, **Security General** and
**Security User Token** against `ConsoleReferenceServer --ctt` (CTT
1.05.06, scripts 1.05.513). The security groups ran **without `-a`**,
against an isolated server PKI built from the CTT's `copyToServer`
folders, so the negative certificate tests are meaningful.

## Server fixes

### AddNodes below one parent was quadratic (Node Management Delete Node
`Err-002.js`)

The CTT adds 15,000 variables below `ns=2;s=CTT` in batches of 5,000 and
warned that AddNodes responses took 400–800 ms. For every added node the
server searched all children of the parent twice: once in the BrowseName
duplicate check in `AsyncCustomNodeManager.AddNodeCoreAsync`, which also
copied the children list, and once in the NodeVersion lookup of
`FilterChangesByNodeVersion`.

- `NodeState.FindChild` now searches children lists with ≥ 64 entries
through a BrowseName index kept in a `ConditionalWeakTable`, so nodes
with few children get no extra field.
- It keeps first-match semantics and is maintained by
`AddChild`/`RemoveChild`.
- It is dropped on replacement and invalidated when a child is renamed
or moves to another parent.
- Lists whose children point at another parent (clones) are still
searched linearly.
- The duplicate check uses `FindChild` instead of copying the list.

| 5,000-node AddNodes batch (in-process, Debug) | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| before | 769 ms | 2,083 ms | 4,011 ms |
| after | 141 ms | 166 ms | 172 ms |

In the CTT, AddNodes of 5,000 items now answers in 51–72 ms and the
warning is gone.

### OpenSecureChannel leaked revocation errors (Security Certificate
Validation `002.js`)

Part 4 §6.1.3, Table 106:
- For the revocation check (`Bad_CertificateRevoked`,
`Bad_CertificateIssuerRevoked`), `Bad_SecurityChecksFailed` **shall** be
reported to the client.
- For a missing revocation list (`Bad_CertificateRevocationUnknown`,
`Bad_CertificateIssuerRevocationUnknown`), it **should** be.

`TcpServerChannel` masked only `Bad_CertificateRevoked`, and
`StandardServer.OnApplicationCertificateError` (CreateSession) had its
own list that missed `Bad_CertificatePolicyCheckFailed`. Both now use
one helper, `CertificateErrorReporting` in Opc.Ua.Core, which also
inspects the nested errors of the certificate validator (both paths now
throw the validation result with `ThrowIfInvalid`). Only validity
period, host name, URI and usage errors keep their own code, and audit
events still carry the specific result. The CTT warning is gone.

### Sample data

- **Monitor Value Change V2 `020.js`** skipped because
`Scalar_Static_Arrays_ByteString` had a 1-byte and a 3-byte element. The
script checks every element, and the simulation only padded elements
0–2. The seed value now has no element shorter than four bytes, and the
simulation pads every element.
- **Monitor Value Change V2 `042.js`** got 18 of 19 notifications. The
missing item is the Float matrix: its element [1,1] was
`-1.03179664E+33`, where adding 1 is below Float precision, so the value
really did not change. The server did not drop a notification. The
element is now `-1031.79664`.

## CTT results after the fixes

| Group | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Monitored Item Services (208) | Monitor Value Change V2 44/44.
Remaining: Monitor Basic `039.js` (C17, missing include), `038.js`
warning (C32), and 1–2 sporadic timestamp-tolerance warnings that move
between test cases from run to run. |
| Node Management Services (15) | Only Add Node `Err-008.js` (Mantis
11266). |
| Security General (314) | Certificate Validation: 23 pass, 24 not
implemented, 3 not-applicable skips. None CreateSession/ActivateSession:
all pass. The other 50 CUs are *Not Implemented* in scripts 1.05.513. |
| Security User Token (66) | Anonymous `002.js` (C35) and User Name
Password 2 `015.js` (C36) fail because of CTT defects. X509: 18/18
automated cases pass. |

## CTT defects documented (`plans/ctt-issues.md`)

- **C32** `038.js` compares a RevisedSamplingInterval of 0 with a
project setting instead of the node's MinimumSamplingInterval or the
server's MinSupportedSampleRate.
- **C33** `020.js` requires every ByteString element to be ≥ 4 bytes,
but its message says elements 0–2.
- **C34** `RequestedNewNodeId()` always sends `ns=1`, regardless of
`RequestedNodeId_Namespace`, so client NodeIds can't be enabled.
- **C35** Security User Anonymous picks the `opc.wss` endpoint, which
the CTT cannot open (`BadNotSupported`).
- **C36** `UaEndpointDescription.FindTokenType` rewrites the cached
endpoints' token policies, so `015.js` reports PolicyIds as reused. The
server's GetEndpoints output was verified compliant (PolicyIds unique
per configuration, Mantis 11258).
- Evidence added to **C9** (042.js) and **issue 17** (015.js).

`plans/ctt-testing.md` gains how to run the Monitored Item/Node
Management groups and a recommended setup for the security groups:
isolated PKI from `copyToServer`, no `-a`, PKI restore per part, and
waiting for `Server started`. Other findings recorded there:
- the Create/DeleteMonitoredItems timing warnings are jitter;
- `LoginNameAccessDenied` is not a real user;
- `samples\UAReferenceServer.ctt.xml` needs no change (enabling
`RequestedNodeId` breaks six Add Node cases because of C34).

**Note:** `plans/ctt-testing.md` and the refreshed `plans/ctt-issues.md`
are introduced by #4482. The plans files here are based on #4482's
versions, and new entries start at C32 because #4481 uses C19–C31.
Please merge after #4482 (or rebase the plans files onto it).

## Tests

- `NodeStateChildNameIndexTests` (Opc.Ua.Types.Tests): index semantics
(duplicates, remove, rename, replace, re-parent, clone, shrink/grow,
2,000 random operations against a linear search). Also a scan guard:
5,000 misses against 50,000 children take 97 ms with the index and 7,083
ms with it disabled.
-
`AsyncCustomNodeManagerNodeManagementTests.AddNodeAsync_DuplicateBrowseNameUnderParentWithManyChildren…`
- `TcpServerChannelCertificateErrorTests` (Opc.Ua.Core.Tests): masked vs
reported certificate errors.
- Opc.Ua.Server.Tests 5,553 passed, Opc.Ua.Core.Security.Tests 556
passed, Opc.Ua.Core.Tests (Security + Stack) 3,561 passed,
InformationModel NodeManagement 26 passed (net10.0).
- Opc.Ua.Types.Tests 10,404 passed and 1 failed:
`WotSpecFixtureManifestTests.EveryEmbeddedExampleMatchesItsRecordedHash`.
That test hashes WoT assets which are `eol=lf` in the index but CRLF in
this worktree's checkout; no WoT file is touched by this PR.

romanett aee30e9bf6 Echo the RequestHandle in ServiceFaults for requests that cannot be decoded (#4488)
# Description

OPC 10000-4 §7.33 (ServiceFault): *"The requestHandle in the
ResponseHeader should be set to what was provided in the RequestHeader
even if these values were not valid."* When the decoder rejects a
request, for example a string argument above `MaxStringLength`
(`BadEncodingLimitsExceeded`), the server answered with a ServiceFault
carrying RequestHandle 0 and no Timestamp. The OPC Foundation CTT
reports this: *"CallResponseHeader.RequestHandle does not match expected
RequestHandle. Expected: 18 Received: 0"*. It was seen during the CTT
GDS triage of #4481, with a FindApplications ApplicationUri of
MaxStringLength + 10 % characters.

### Changes

- **`RequestHandleReader`** (new, internal, `Opc.Ua.Core`) reads the
RequestHandle best effort from a message that could not be decoded:
- binary: the encoding NodeId, then the leading RequestHeader fields
AuthenticationToken (NodeId), Timestamp (UtcTime) and RequestHandle
(UInt32);
- JSON: `UaBody.RequestHeader.RequestHandle`, ignoring same-named
members anywhere else.

  It returns 0 when the handle cannot be read.
- **`TcpServerChannel` / `TcpListenerChannel`:** new `SendServiceFault`
overloads take the RequestHandle, and faults now carry a response
Timestamp. `ProcessRequestMessage` (decode failure, null request,
discovery-only rejection) and the OpenSecureChannel error path pass the
handle. This covers `opc.tcp`, the Kestrel TCP listener and UA-SC over
WebSocket, which all use `TcpServerChannel`.
- **`EndpointBase.CreateFault`:**
- new internal overload with a fallback RequestHandle for a request that
was not decoded;
  - the Timestamp is always set;
  - no longer dereferences a null RequestHeader.
- **`HttpsTransportListener`:**
- The JSON path and both JSON-over-WebSocket loops (`opcua+uajson`,
OpenAPI) now echo the handle read from the payload.
  - Discovery-only faults use the handle of the decoded request.

### ⚠️ Behaviour change for reviewers: HTTPS binary

A binary HTTPS request the decoder rejects used to get **HTTP 500 with a
text body** and no ServiceFault. It now gets **HTTP 200 with a
ServiceFault** carrying the decoder status and the echoed RequestHandle,
the same as the JSON path in the same listener. Other exceptions in that
path still return HTTP 500. OPC 10000-6 §7.4 does not specify how an
HTTPS server reports an undecodable request. The existing test
`SendAsyncReturnsInternalServerErrorForInvalidBodyAsync` was replaced by
`SendAsyncRespondsWithServiceFaultForInvalidBodyAsync`. If HTTP 500
should be kept, that hunk can be reverted independently.

WebApi REST (`WebApiServer`) already echoed the handle and is unchanged.

### Tests

- `RequestHandleReaderTests`:
- binary messages above MaxStringLength, with numeric and string
authentication tokens, from a byte array and from a stream;
  - truncated and null input;
- JSON field order, decoy `RequestHandle` members, wrong types and
malformed JSON;
  - `CreateFault` fallback and precedence.
-
`TcpServerChannelBufferTests.UndecodableRequestServiceFaultEchoesRequestHandleAsync`:
feeds a ReadRequest with a 640-character NodeId (MaxStringLength 64)
through `TcpServerChannel`. It asserts that the sent ServiceFault has
`BadEncodingLimitsExceeded`, RequestHandle 4711, the request id and a
Timestamp.
- `HttpsTransportListenerTests`: the binary ServiceFault for an invalid
body, the echoed handle for an oversized binary request, and the echoed
handle for an undecodable JSON request.
- No unit test covers the two JSON-over-WebSocket loops; the test
infrastructure has no WebSocket driver, and the change there is
mechanical.

Local results (net10.0):
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests`: 4,669 passed, 0 failed, 88 skipped.
- `Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests`: 346 passed.
- `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests`: 2,266 passed.

`Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` also builds for net48. `dotnet format whitespace
--verify-no-changes` passes on the changed files.

romanett 747f635518 Fix the Opc.Ua.Core defects from the server/core audit (#4475)
# Description

Fixes every `src/Opc.Ua.Core` item found by a twelve-reviewer audit of
`src/Opc.Ua.Server` + `src/Opc.Ua.Core` taken at 0e600c0f0, across all
three tiers of that report (security/data-loss/crash, confirmed
functional, and reviewer-traced). **The `src/Opc.Ua.Server` half of the
audit is deliberately out of scope here** and remains open.

## Security and resource safety

- **Explicitly configured trusted certificates were ignored.**
`CertificateTrustList.TrustedCertificates` (the `<TrustedCertificates>`
config element, `SecurityConfiguration.AddTrustedPeer`) never reached
the validator, so a peer trusted only that way was rejected with
`BadCertificateUntrusted`. The list now travels from configuration
through `TrustListEntry` into `TrustListState`, and is consulted both
when deciding trust and when completing a chain — OPC 10000-4 6.1.3:
"The list of trusted Certificates may contain a Certificate issued to
another Application or it may be a Certificate belonging to a CA". The
store is still consulted first, so a CA configured both ways keeps its
CRL check. Cached validation cores are evicted when a trust list is
re-registered, so a reconfiguration actually takes effect.
- **Unauthenticated receive-buffer leak.** `SaveIntermediateChunk` now
always takes ownership of the chunk: it either stores it or returns it
to the `BufferManager`. A server without a `None` endpoint gives every
TCP client a discovery-only channel, and each non-discovery request
leaked one `ReceiveBufferSize` buffer. Added `TakeSavedChunks` for the
"body already saved" case; passing the chunk again would have queued the
same buffer twice. A channel torn down while a multi-chunk message is
still arriving now releases what it had buffered, which nothing did
before.
- **Decrypted OpenSecureChannel buffers** are returned when verification
fails, including the sibling paths where the sequence-number or
certificate check rejects the message *after* the body was handed back.
- **RSA Diffie-Hellman peer values** are validated against `2 <= y <=
p-2` (RFC 7919 5.1), so the shared secret can no longer be forced to a
known constant by sending 0, 1 or p-1.
- **`RemovePadding` verified no padding at all** for channel messages:
the loop started at `data.Offset` and stopped at `paddingSize`, so on
any message with a header it ran zero times. The filler loop is
corrected — OPC 10000-6 6.7.2.5.1: "The value of each byte of the
padding is equal to PaddingSize" — and the signature is now checked
*before* the padding is inspected so the two failures cannot be told
apart.
- **Key material zeroing** on the ECC secret path: the plain text, the
derived key and IV, and the ECDH shared secret, on both sides. The
decrypt wipe covers the failure path too, which is the one that matters
— the body is decrypted in place before the signature is verified.
- **HTTPS responses** are read with `ResponseHeadersRead` and bounded by
`MaxMessageSize`, instead of the whole body being allocated before the
limit was applied.
- **`X509CertificateStore.IsRevokedAsync`** reports an unanswerable
revocation check as `BadCertificateRevocationUnknown` instead of
throwing. The throw surfaced as an unsuppressible
`BadCertificateInvalid` and failed every CA-issued certificate on Linux
and macOS. See reviewer note 2.
- **Certificate handle ownership**: `ClientChannelManager` AddRefs what
it hands to a transport that disposes it (and releases it again when the
channel never opens), `CertificateTrustList` releases the handle `Add`
took its own reference to, and `X509CertificateStore` disposes the
platform handles nothing else owns.

## Transport

- The receive loop is now **one atomically swapped epoch of (transport,
token)**, so a reconnect that binds a new socket to an existing channel
supersedes the old loop rather than racing it. Previously the supersede
path was unguarded and could start two readers on one socket, dispose an
in-use `CancellationTokenSource`, and leak one per reconnect.
- A **reconnect hand-over detaches the transport before closing
anything**, so the socket the adopted channel now answers on is not
closed underneath it. Previously the queued `OpenSecureChannelResponse`
failed with `BadConnectionClosed` and reconnect to a dropped channel
could never succeed.
- A blocked or unservable **accepted socket is closed** rather than left
open until process exit.
- An **invalid response sequence number reconnects the channel** instead
of throwing into a handler that did nothing, which left the pending
request hanging until timeout. OPC 10000-6 6.7.7 requires the receiver
to close the channel, and the same section requires the error to be
logged — which `HandleMessageProcessingError` now does instead of
discarding it silently.
- The **abort chunk** is encoded against the room the chunk has rather
than what it currently holds, so a short offending chunk can still carry
the error body (OPC 10000-6 6.7.3).

## Discovery and endpoints

- `GetEndpoints` no longer drops the HTTPS and WSS JSON/OpenAPI
endpoints, and no longer collapses them onto the binary one (the dedup
ignored `TransportProfileUri`). `profileUris` filtering matches them too
— OPC 10000-4 5.5.4.2 defines it as the "List of Transport Profile that
the returned Endpoints shall support", and a client asking for the JSON
profile previously got an empty list back. Results are ordered
deterministically with **binary first**, so a client that takes the
first endpoint that fits keeps getting the one it got before these twins
were published.

## Smaller confirmed defects

`FilterEvaluator.InList` returned after the first string operand;
`SelectedUserTokenPolicy` setter always ended at `-1`;
`Utils.UpdateExtension` could not delete; a lease holder never stepped
down while the shared store was unreachable *or hanging*;
`IsUriHttpRelatedScheme` never matched `http`;
`SessionLessServiceMessage` dropped a single `LocaleId`;
`GetRandomDouble` used `ToSingle` and typed variant arrays ignored the
requested `builtInType`; source-generated log calls never reached the
trace file.

## Related Issues

- No tracking issue was opened for this work; it derives from an audit
report rather than a filed issue. Happy to open one and link it if
maintainers prefer.

## Notes for reviewers

1. **`MaxRejectedCertificates` semantics.**
`ICertificateStore.AddRejectedAsync` documented "0 is unlimited", but
`DirectoryCertificateStore` wrote every certificate and then deleted all
of them at 0 (net effect: store nothing), and `CertificateManager`
clamped a negative value onto 0 and *depended* on that to implement
"clear the store". `SharedKeyValueCertificateStore` meanwhile treated 0
as genuinely unlimited, so the two store types did opposite things at
the same setting. This PR keeps the existing observable behaviour (0 or
less keeps no history and clears what is stored), removes the
write-then-delete-all churn, aligns the KV store, and corrects the
interface doc and `docs/DependencyInjection.md`. **The KV store is the
one place whose behaviour changes** relative to master.

2. **Revocation status where X509Store has no CRLs.** `IsRevokedAsync`
used to throw there, which surfaced as an unsuppressible
`BadCertificateInvalid` and failed every CA-issued certificate on Linux
and macOS - the outage the audit flagged. It now returns
`BadCertificateRevocationUnknown`, which is what the Windows branch of
the same method and a directory store without a CRL already return, and
the status `RejectUnknownRevocationStatus` decides on (OPC 10000-4
6.1.3, Find Revocation List). With the default policy the certificate is
accepted; an operator who opted into strict mode gets a rejection, as
before on master. An earlier revision returned `BadNotSupported`, which
the validator discards outright and which made revocation fail open even
in strict mode; review caught it.
3. **`ManagedChannelKey` gained a `TransportProfileUri`** property and
an optional trailing constructor parameter. Source-compatible, but it is
public API.

### Regression test coverage

Each of these fails against `master`'s source and passes with the fix.

| Fix | Test |
|---|---|
| Padding filler bytes were never verified |
`CryptoUtilsSymmetricPaddingTests` — forged filler rejected, plus a
round trip over every padding length |
| Padding removed before the signature was checked |
`CryptoUtilsSymmetricPaddingTests.SymmetricDecryptReportsSignatureFailureAheadOfPadding`
|
| RSA-DH peer value not range checked | `RsaDiffieHellmanPeerValueTests`
— 0, 1, p-1, p, above p, both range boundaries, group mismatch |
| A degenerate DH nonce threw instead of being rejected |
`UaSCBinaryChannelNonceTests` |
| `<TrustedCertificates>` never reached the validator |
`CertificateValidationCoreTests` (peer, issuer, and the negative
control),
`CertificateManagerTests.ExplicitlyTrustedPeerFromConfigurationIsAcceptedAsync`
|
| Cached validation cores survived a trust-list change |
`CertificateManagerTests` — registration after a failed validation, and
`UpdateAsync` onto a different store |
| `MaxRejectedCertificates` normalisation |
`CertificateManagerTests.MaxRejectedCertificatesNormalisesNegativeValues`
|
| `AddRejectedAsync` retention contract |
`RejectedCertificateRetentionTests` — both store types, at zero,
negative and a positive cap |
| PEM rewrite left the old tail behind |
`DirectoryCertificateStoreTests.DeleteFromAMultiCertificatePemFileTruncatesTheFileAsync`
|
| `IsRevokedAsync` threw where CRLs are unsupported |
`CertificateStoreTest.IsRevokedAsyncReportsNotSupportedWithoutCrlSupportAsync`
(runs on Linux/macOS, ignored on Windows) |
| ECC secret left in the caller's buffer |
`EncryptedSecretTests.EccDecryptWipesThePlainTextFromTheCallersBufferOnFailure`
|
| Trust-list read leaked a handle per entry |
`CertificateTrustListHandleTests` |
| A channel that never opened leaked its certificate |
`ClientChannelManagerHandleTests` |
| Chunk ownership, CLO double free, chunk-limit teardown |
`TcpServerChannelBufferTests` (4 new) |
| Receive loop did not follow a replaced transport |
`TcpServerChannelDeterministicTests` (3 new) |
| HTTPS body unbounded, failures unmapped |
`HttpsTransportChannelResponseTests` (5) |
| JSON/OpenAPI endpoints dropped, collapsed, or unordered |
`ServerBaseTransportProfileTests` (12) |
| Channel key ignored the transport profile |
`ClientChannelManagerManagedTests` (2 new) |
| `SelectedUserTokenPolicy` setter always ended at -1 |
`ConfiguredEndpointTests` (4 new) |
| `UpdateExtension` could not delete | `UtilsAdditionalTests` (3 new) |
| A single `LocaleId` was dropped | `SessionLessServiceMessageTests` (2
new) |
| `GetRandomDouble` / typed variant arrays | `DataGeneratorTests` (4
new) |
| `TraceLoggerProvider.IsEnabled` short-circuited every log call |
`TraceLoggerProviderTests` (3 new) |
| A leader never stepped down on an expired lease |
`SharedStoreLeaseElectionTests` (3 new) |
| `FilterEvaluator.InList`, `IsUriHttpRelatedScheme` | existing tests
corrected in the first commit |

**Not covered.** The reconnect hand-over ordering, the OpenSecureChannel
decrypted-buffer returns, the client-side bad-sequence reconnect, the
abort-chunk sizing and the listener closing a blocked socket all need a
two-socket reconnect or a full asymmetric OpenSecureChannel exchange,
which the deterministic channel harness does not model. They are
exercised by the integration suites but not asserted on directly.
## Spec conformance

Where a fix has a normative basis I checked it against the published
specification rather than only against the audit report:

| Change | Reference |
|---|---|
| Every padding filler byte is verified | OPC 10000-6 6.7.2.5.1 — "The
value of each byte of the padding is equal to PaddingSize". The loop
started at `data.Offset` and stopped at `paddingSize`, so on any message
with a header it ran zero times and no filler byte was ever checked. |
| Signature verified before the padding is inspected | OPC 10000-6
6.7.2.5.1 — the signature "includes the headers, all Message data, the
PaddingSize and the Padding"; 6.7.7 — the chunk "shall not be
interpreted until the Message is decrypted and the signature and
sequence number verified". |
| Message-processing errors are logged | OPC 10000-6 6.7.7 — "the
receiver shall log a Bad_SequenceNumberInvalid error", and stacks "shall
have a mechanism to log errors when invalid Messages are discarded". The
handler was an empty method. |
| A bad response sequence number reconnects the channel | OPC 10000-6
6.7.7 — "the receiver shall close the communication channel". It
previously threw into that empty handler and the pending request hung
until timeout. |
| The trust list's own certificates are honoured as peers **and** as
issuers | OPC 10000-4 6.1.3 — "The list of trusted Certificates may
contain a Certificate issued to another Application or it may be a
Certificate belonging to a CA". |
| The abort chunk is sized by the chunk's capacity | OPC 10000-6 6.7.3 —
the abort body is `Error` plus a `Reason` string, so a chunk shorter
than the error body could not carry it. |
| JSON/OpenAPI endpoints are published and match `profileUris` | OPC
10000-4 5.5.4.2 — `profileUris` is the "List of Transport Profile that
the returned Endpoints shall support"; a client asking for the JSON
profile previously got an empty list. |
| RSA-DH peer value restricted to `2 <= y <= p-2` | RFC 7919 5.1, which
the finite-field policies are built on. I found no OPC-specific wording
for this. |

One point where the spec argues against the current shape is called out
in reviewer note 2 below.

### Test runs

On **net10.0**, with `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` and
`Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates.Tests` also run on **net48**. The
remaining suites were not run on the .NET Framework targets locally, so
that checklist box stays unchecked.

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| Opc.Ua.Core.Tests (net10.0) | 4630 passed, 0 failed, 88 skipped |
| Opc.Ua.Core.Tests (net48) | 4545 passed, 0 failed, 104 skipped |
| Opc.Ua.Core.Security.Tests | 556 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates.Tests (net10.0) | 355 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Security.Certificates.Tests (net48) | 353 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Configuration.Tests | 227 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Core.Encoders.Tests | 2929 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Bindings.Https.WebApi.Tests | 346 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests | 783 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Client.Tests | 2217 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Server.Tests | 5552 passed, 0 failed |
| Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests | 778 passed, 0 failed, 379 skipped |
| Opc.Ua.Gds.Tests | 1117 passed, 0 failed |

`Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` reports 379 skipped; that is identical to a
`master` baseline run in a separate worktree (security policies the
platform does not advertise), not a regression from this change.

`dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes` reports no violations in
any file this PR touches.

romanett e639932b95 Fix source generator defects from the Client/Types/SourceGeneration audit (#4473)
# Description

Fixes the SourceGeneration findings of a read-only bug audit of
`a05a36055` — sections 15 (host generators, Roslyn side), 16
(SourceGeneration.Core schema / ModelDesign loader) and 17
(SourceGeneration.Core generators). 36 of the 39 findings are fixed;
each has a regression test.

### Generated-code correctness

- **State machine NodeId constants** were emitted as `const uint` even
when the aliased `Objects` constant is a `string`, so every model using
string NodeIds with a `FiniteStateMachineType` subtype failed with
CS0029. The constant type now follows the aliased node, looked up from
the same source `NodeIdGenerator` emits from — top-level nodes **plus
each node's instance hierarchy**, since a state or transition only ever
exists as a hierarchy entry.
- `NodeIdGenerator` emitted string identifiers into C# string literals
without escaping them.
- Structure field names are authored data, so they can be C# keywords or
collide with the members every generated data type carries. Properties
and `{Type}Fields` members now go through a sanitizing,
collision-breaking mapping (including two siblings that sanitize to the
same identifier). **Wire names are untouched** — OPC 10000-3 §8.51
requires the StructureField name to match the BrowseName, and the
`DataMember`/encode/decode names still come from `Parameter.Name`.
- `NodeStateGenerator`'s copy-on-write cast now uses the fully qualified
data type name, which a cross-model structure needs.
- `GetScalarValueAsCode` emitted `(double)NaN` and the infinities, which
do not compile.
- `TemplateWriter` formatted with the current culture, so a machine with
a comma decimal separator emitted invalid generated source.

### Served schema documents

- The binary schema described a **different wire layout than the
generated `Encode`/`Decode`**: unions carried no
`SwitchField`/`SwitchValue`, and structures with optional fields carried
no encoding-mask presence bits. Both are now emitted per **OPC 10000-6
§5.2.7**, matching the layout the runtime `BsdSchemaGenerator` produces.
A structure with more than 32 optional fields now fails generation
instead of silently wrapping `1 << 32` back onto the first field's bit.
- Documentation text and attribute values are XML-escaped.

### ModelDesign loading and validation

- Identifiers pinned in a CSV were dropped whenever any other loaded
namespace declared the same symbolic name. Removal is now scoped to the
file's target namespace, and explicit `NumericId`s are keyed by
`(namespace, id)` so the same number in two namespaces is legal.
- Declaration order inside a design file no longer matters — base types
are imported and validated ahead of their subtypes.
- OptionSet `OptionSetValues` were truncated at bit 31 (signed shift)
and bits 32–63 of a 64-bit option set were never emitted.
- An authored `ValueRank` is no longer overwritten by the shape of the
default value (OPC 10000-3 §6.2.8: a ValueRank may only be further
restricted), and a VariableType data type may be narrowed any number of
levels deep rather than exactly one.
- NodeSet import: `AccessRestrictions="0"` means "no restrictions", not
`EncryptionRequired` (OPC 10000-3 §8.56) — an unrecognised mask stays
**fail-closed**; a NodeSet without `<Models>` reports what is wrong; an
optional `<References>` no longer throws; the parent/child reference
scan looks at the parent's references; and `IsTypeOf` terminates on the
self-referential root reference types NodeSets routinely declare.
- Version comparison is numeric per component (ordinally `"1.05.9"`
sorts above `"1.05.10"`) and now lives on `SemVer`, so the NodeSet
collection and the dependency tie-break cannot pick different winners; a
publication-date version no longer outranks a real one.

### Host generator

- `[DataType]` on an `enum` is matched again (an enum is not a
`TypeDeclarationSyntax`), MODELGEN003 renders its arguments instead of
the raw template, and the Types hint name keeps the namespace's dots so
`A.BC` and `AB.C` cannot claim the same one.
- Compilation-derived pipeline stages carry value comparers, so editing
a file no longer re-runs the entire model generation on every keystroke.
- A NodeSet that fails to load skips that file rather than every
remaining one; a file listed twice as an `AdditionalFile` is deduped;
superseded NodeSet versions are still recognised as NodeSet inputs and
not generated a second time by the ModelDesign pass.
- `LogLevel.Critical` maps to a diagnostic instead of being silently
dropped.

### Client

- `EventRecordFieldReaders` gained the readers the event record
generator needs (including `Variant`, enumerations and the array forms).
Fields whose type had no reader were declared on the record but never
populated, so they read as `null`/`default` for every event.

## Not fixed (deliberately)

- **Forward same-namespace hierarchical references in
`NodeSetToModelDesign.ImportReferences`** — the audit flags the
inverse-only handling as asymmetric. Making it symmetric compiles and
passes every generator unit test, but regresses the address space: all
17 `RobotOpenUsdE2eTests` fail in `OneTimeSetUpAsync` because the hosted
server never finishes starting. Reverted, with a comment at the site
recording why.
- **§17.10 and §15.10** (both low + PLAUSIBLE) — each needs a wider
refactor than this PR: a consistent NodeId-constant rename across ~6
cross-reference sites, and replacing `Location` with a serializable
equivalent for incremental cache equality.

## Spec cross-check

The encoding/schema changes were checked against the specification: OPC
10000-6 §5.2.7 (32-bit EncodingMask, one bit per optional field in
order, padded), the union `SwitchField` encoding, OPC 10000-3 §8.56
(AccessRestrictionType bit mask), §6.2.8 and §5.6.2/§5.6.5 (ValueRank),
§8.51 (StructureField name == BrowseName).
`GenerateStackTests.OptionalFieldBitsAgreeBetweenBsdAndGeneratedEncoder`
pins the BSD presence-bit order against the generated encoder's
`LogRecordFields` so the two cannot drift apart again.

Marc Schier d08d4faec1 Reduce NodeState allocations and pack scalar Variants (#4452)
# Description

Consolidate the complete B01/B02 NodeState memory work into one PR.

- Replace eager cold-path NodeState locks with lazy canonical
publication and update
  the event-monitor counter atomically.
- Store six design-metadata properties and three security properties in
separate lazy
private bags while preserving public APIs, null/empty distinctions,
masks, copying
  and existing serialization behavior.
- Avoid allocating the ReportEvent scheduling closure when the
async-dispatch path is
  unused.
- Retain the logger factory's category logger directly, avoiding a
redundant typed
  wrapper on telemetry initialization.
- Keep Variant at 24 bytes while removing eligible outer boxes for
QualifiedName,
  NodeId, NET8+ ByteString and text-only LocalizedText values.
- Add reproducible allocation/layout/occupancy fixtures, real registered
and monitored
populations, reference contracts, generated-consumer coverage and
NativeAOT cases.

## Measured allocation changes

Matched .NET 10.0.11 x64 observations against the integrated master
baseline:

| Construction/assignment | Master | This PR |
|---|---:|---:|
| Bare/minimal object | 824 B | 640 B |
| Bare/minimal variable | 1160 B | 976 B |
| Variable with both optional groups populated or reset | 1160 B | 1088
B |
| Variable with a shared ByteString value | 1192 B | 976 B |

Separate paired measurements show:

- telemetry initialization: 24 B typed-logger wrapper removed;
- eligible QualifiedName, NodeId and ByteString Variant construction: 32
B to 0 B;
- eligible text-only LocalizedText Variant construction: 40 B to 0 B;
- variable attributes read into caller-provided Variant destinations:
136 B to 0 B.

These are runtime-specific per-operation observations, not additive
whole-server
savings. Optional bags retain their documented populated/high-water
premiums and are
not reclaimed on reset.

## Reference-storage decision

A complete private indexed reference backend and a sorted-traversal
alternative were
measured, but both changed the existing filtered hash-index enumeration
order. They
were rejected despite lower memory use. The production reference backend
remains
unchanged; strengthened ordering, identity, serialization and
concurrency contracts
are retained. Adaptive small-set storage remains deferred.

## Consolidation

This PR now contains all changes from #4451 and the former narrower
#4452 branch.
Every #4452 changed path was present in #4451; after merging, the #4451
head
`836e45226` is a direct ancestor of this branch. #4451 is closed as
superseded.
Draft #4425 remains unchanged and is also superseded by this
consolidated work.

## Review feedback

- Removed the standalone Variant storage document and its README entry.
- Made the raw NodeId constructor private; the documented internal
`GetRawState`/`SetRawState` bridge is explicitly Variant-only and must
never become
  public.
- Marked the two 32-thread counter tests non-parallel.
- Added 10-second timeouts to the concurrent browse benchmark's main and
worker
  barriers and completion waits.
- Migrated the registered-population fixture to the current async
`SealAsync` API.

All review threads on #4451 and #4452 were replied to with the action
and fix commit,
then resolved.

## Related issues

- Related to #4275.
- Supersedes #4425 and #4451.

## Validation

- Consolidated Types/Core/Server selection: **1241 passed** on net10.0.
- Consolidated Types/Core/Server selection: **1238 passed** on net48.
- Focused #4451 feedback selection: **189 passed** on net10.0 and **187
passed**
  on net48.
- Earlier integrated NativeAOT validation passed **163/163** cases
across the main,
MCP and Historian applications; current PR CI provides the authoritative
final
  merged-source native validation.

The first #4452 CI run was blocked by merge conflicts. Seven later jobs
completed
their tests but encountered a shared artifact-service HTTP 403 while
uploading
results; no workflow or test was weakened to mask that infrastructure
failure.

Generated `report.*.json` crash artifacts remain untracked and are not
part of this PR.

Almost every `master` build was reporting yellow or red, which meant the
pipeline signal had stopped being useful: a genuinely broken build
looked the same as a healthy one. I triaged every `master` build from
the last week across Azure DevOps (definition 14, 38 builds) and GitHub
Actions, clustered the errors by root cause, and fixed the nine that
were still live.

The headline finding is that the two loudest problems were not test bugs
at all. Codecov rejects the upload on **28 out of 28 builds**, and that
single warning is what turned every master build `partiallySucceeded`.
Separately, the weekly HA long-haul soak was mathematically incapable of
passing: the configured duration is per *scenario*, and the two
`[NonParallelizable]` soaks run back to back, so the floor is 2 x 60
minutes plus teardown against a 110-minute step budget.

A tenth cluster (the `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` reverse-connect flake, 6
hits around Aug 31) was already fixed by #4366 and has not recurred, so
it needed no work.

## Clusters and root causes

| Cluster | Frequency | Root cause |
|---|---|---|
| codecov upload exits 1 | **28/28 builds** | Codecov returns
`Repository not found`; the resulting warning made every master build
yellow |
| `No space left on device` in coverage merge | nightly | Hosted Ubuntu
agent disk exhausted by the per-matrix coverage artifacts |
| Sample HA Long-Haul timeout | weekly | 2 soaks x 60 min against a 110
min budget, so it could never pass |
| `Artifact coverage-report already exists` | on stage re-run | Pipeline
artifact names must be unique per build |
| `NodeCache*` -> `address already in use` | macOS | `ServerFixture`
retried only `BadNoCommunication`; Kestrel https throws
`IOException`/`AddressInUseException` and escaped the retry, failing the
whole `OneTimeSetUp` |
| `MetricsAreEmittedForChannelLifetimeAsync` | macOS | Entry teardown
emits `close` *before* the `active(-1)` up/down counter, but the test
only waited for `close` |
| `OnPublishReceivedKeepAliveShouldDispatchKeepAliveAsync` | net472 |
The processor queues the ack *after* dispatching the notification the
test waits on |
| `ACarriedPartIsAuthoredAtTheGripperItRidesInAsync` | macOS | A single
starved sample (0.2125 m) tripped a 0.20 m absolute worst-case bound |
| `RobotIntentLiveChannelTests` fixture timeout | net472 | 30 s startup
budget too tight, and the failure text interpolated `lastException`
*before* the polling that assigns it, so it always read `Last error: .`
|

## Approach

**Pipeline.** Coverage reporting is best-effort by design, so the
codecov step now swallows the uploader's exit code and reports the
failure as plain log output rather than a warning that colours the run.
The coverage merge job reclaims the unused Android/GHC/Swift/CodeQL
toolchains before anything writes to the agent, and qualifies its
artifact name on a retry only, so the normal first attempt still
publishes `coverage-report`. The long-haul budgets were raised above the
real floor in both the workflow and the ADO pipeline, and the display
names now say `min/scenario` so the next reader does not repeat the same
miscalculation.

**Tests.** Each test fix targets the specific ordering or bound that was
wrong, rather than adding sleeps. The two metric/ack races now wait on
the measurement the assertions actually depend on. The OpenUSD test
gates the 95th percentile instead of the absolute worst case: the defect
it guards is systematic and moves *every* sample 0.25-0.49 m while the
robot drives, so it still fails that gate loudly, while one straddled
sample no longer can.

## Worth a careful look

- **The port-collision fix is the one real behavioural change.**
`ServerFixtureUtils.IsPortUnavailable` now classifies every transport's
form of the collision, including matching Kestrel's
`AddressInUseException` by type name so the test framework needs no
reference to the ASP.NET Core connection abstractions. It deliberately
does *not* match unrelated failures, which is covered by a negative
test, so a certificate error still surfaces immediately instead of being
retried 25 times on different ports.
- **I dropped an integration test I had written for that fix.** While
validating it I found the UA-TCP listener tolerates a partial bind on
Windows, so `StartAsync` succeeds on the same port and the test asserted
something untrue. I replaced it with deterministic unit tests of the
classifier instead of shipping a test that would itself become flaky.
- **The codecov fix is a mitigation, not a cure.** The `Repository not
found` response is account-side: the `CODECOV_TOKEN` is stale or the
repository is not activated. This change stops it from colouring the
build and logs the failure plainly, but uploads will not actually land
until someone refreshes the token. Flagging that explicitly so it is not
mistaken for a full fix.

### Notes on the checklist

- Documentation: no doc updates were needed. The changes are CI
configuration and test-harness fixes with no public API surface, and the
rationale is captured in comments at each changed site.
- Local verification: all touched projects build clean on **net10.0**
and **net48**, and the targeted tests pass (Server 5/5, Client 46/46,
Features 31/31, Robotics.Intent 20/20, plus the Di and Core.Tests
cases). One pre-existing local `net48` PKI-store failure in
`Opc.Ua.Robotics.Intent.Tests` reproduces on unmodified `master` and is
unrelated to this change; CI's `net472` leg runs that project fine.

Marc Schier be61d598a9 Fix startup NodeManager lifecycle and imported method arguments (#4427)
# Description

Make startup-composed application NodeManagers participate in the live
lifecycle and bind imported NodeSet2 Method argument properties to their
typed `MethodState` children.

This change:

- adopts application NodeManagers created before startup into
`INodeManagerLifecycle.Registrations` after server startup succeeds,
while keeping diagnostics, configuration, and core managers protected;
- retains per-manager startup external-reference ownership and exact
routing positions so reload, removal, rollback, overlapping namespaces,
synchronous adapters, and server restart preserve existing behavior;
counted immutable reference snapshots avoid quadratic startup matching;
- rejects duplicate factory output across active, unpublished, and
retired lifecycle generations without deleting or disposing the live
manager; callers can catch the public
`NodeManagerAlreadyRegisteredException`;
- binds valid namespace-zero `Argument[]` `PropertyType`
`InputArguments` and `OutputArguments` Variables to
`MethodState.InputArguments` and `MethodState.OutputArguments` from
either `HasProperty` direction, without requiring `ParentNodeId`,
including local namespace-URI reference targets;
- preserves authored metadata during NodeSet typed-child promotion
without changing the initialization behavior of unrelated generated
nodes;
- retains generic-import guards for custom and malformed signatures,
duplicate standard-signature validation, and upstream factory-driven
generated-slot replacement and reconciliation callbacks;
- updates lifecycle and Runtime NodeSet documentation and clarifies
`OnServerStartedAsync` timing for both `StartAsync` overloads, including
the unopened default host returned to the caller.

This is a focused follow-up to #4418. That PR preserves registrations
from multiple fluent builders, but does not change lifecycle ownership
or NodeSet child typing. The branch includes upstream `master` through
`da7412c42`, including #4396, #4432, #4437, #4438, and #4440.

The completed review fixes in `686d0561f` are included. The latest base
merge (`a29fc6ca8`) combines them with #4432's shared batch/fluent
importer and generated state factories. One iterative linker supports
available parent nodes, deferred parent side tables, application-owned
handles, and placeholder reconciliation while retaining reference-driven
Method argument binding and URI handling. Upstream cancellation, GDS
assembly renames, certificate leak scoping, and xRegistry changes are
preserved.

## Related Issues

- Fixes #4421
- Fixes #4422

## CI regression fix

`e1a4436f0` fixes the GDS failure reported on Ubuntu and macOS. Copying
permission metadata in general `NodeState` initialization applied
`SecurityAdmin`-only defaults to generated GDS custom certificate groups
and denied their existing GDS-admin Browse requests. Metadata
preservation is now confined to NodeSet typed-child promotion; imported
Method argument permissions remain intact, while unrelated generated
nodes retain their existing initialization behavior.

Local Release validation also exposed a 260-character certificate path
in the startup-failure test added by this PR. Its isolated PKI now uses
a short temporary path. No assertions, authorization checks, or CI gates
were weakened, and no pre-existing tests were changed.

## macOS ARM64 NativeAOT suspension

Per maintainer request, `a15971f32` suspends only the failing
`macos-latest` / `osx-arm64` NativeAOT matrix entry. Re-enabling it once
the compiler contains the runtime fix is tracked in #4443. Intel macOS,
Linux, and Windows NativeAOT coverage, managed macOS tests, and all
other CI gates remain enabled. This is an explicit coverage suspension,
not a claim that the underlying compiler/linker defect is fixed.

The macOS ARM64 NativeAOT job on `a29fc6ca8` fails during native linking
with
`ld: Assertion failed: (_addend == uniqueIndex && "too many large
addends")`.
Both attempts of [run
34191755950](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/34191755950)
hit the same assertion before the native test executable can run; the
build/test summary failure is downstream.

This matches the NativeAOT Mach-O relocation issue in
dotnet/runtime#119380, fixed by relocation-anchor emission in
dotnet/runtime#124721 and its .NET 10 backport dotnet/runtime#132171.
The failing `Microsoft.DotNet.ILCompiler` 10.0.11 package's nuspec
points to `dotnet/dotnet` commit
`e2f47b0110ed922f21a1522da67279133ce28f32` (July 23); its object writer
does not contain the anchor fix merged on August 12. Version 10.0.11 is
currently the latest stable package.

The base commit passed on the same runner image and SDK, so this is not
being dismissed as a generally broken runner or a test flake. The
precise PR-specific object-layout trigger has not been isolated. A
compiler containing the relocation fix is needed before restoring the
lane. No test code, assertions, coverage thresholds, or shared tooling
settings were changed.

## Validation

Latest base-merge validation on both `net10.0` and `net48`, Release:

- Import helpers and argument-binding regressions: 51 passed per
framework.
- Batch/fluent import, generated-state overlays, runtime/startup
lifecycle, cross-source references, routing, reference snapshots, and
node-authoring selection: 344 passed per framework.
- Merge-specific cases cover available Method parents with
forward/inverse and URI/index references while retaining an
application-owned `NodeId` handle.
- The unchanged upstream `NodeSetImportIntegrationTests.cs:210` CA1861
warning remains; no diagnostic suppression or unrelated cleanup was
added.

Release CI-fix validation on both `net10.0` and `net48`:

- `CustomCertificateGroupIntegrationTest`: 4 passed, including the
unchanged CI failure.
- `UANodeSetHelpersTests`: 8 passed, including imported security
metadata.
- `StartupRuntimeNodeSetLifecycleTests`: 5 passed.

Earlier Debug merge and review validation on both frameworks:

- Lifecycle, RuntimeNodeSet, fluent, and OperationContext selection
after merging `978e6d1af`: 638 passed per framework.
- Startup/transport-binding and RuntimeNodeSet integration selection
after merging `017856f4a`: 28 passed per framework.
- Public exception contract and duplicate-registration selection in
`fbf08428b`: 6 passed per framework.

Targeted test invocations rebuilt the affected projects successfully.
The full `UA.slnx` suite was not rerun locally.

Marc Schier da7412c429 Add native xRegistry events and distinct Resource versions (#4396)
## Summary

- support the xRegistry 0.6.0 distinct Resource/Version hierarchy:
  `Registry -> Group -> Resource -> Versions -> Version`
- instantiate stable logical Resource nodes separately from exact
Version nodes
  while preserving existing Version NodeIds
- delegate logical Resource FileType operations and Version-view
metadata to the
selected default Version with handle pinning and shared writer
reservations
- make Resource and Version delete behavior role-stable and use
`MetaEpoch` /
  `Epoch` respectively
- use stable Resource SourceNodes, exact Version SourceNodes and the
  `Server -> Registry -> Group -> Resource -> Version` notifier chain
- keep a model-metadata-gated client fallback for 0.5 flat Servers; 0.6
Servers
  expose no legacy aliases
- target `HasWoTProjection` at the real stable logical Resource node
- use `AsyncCustomNodeManager` for the registration, fast-path, and
federation managers,
  with awaited lifecycle, node mutations, event delivery, and cleanup
- handle startup rollback, reentrant deletion callbacks, undisclosed
file handles,
  and retryable cleanup without blocking unrelated file operations

## Review feedback

- keep the WoT Connectivity information-model designation at `1.1`;
draft revisions update the publication date without changing the model
version
- eliminate all 198 unique CA1861 diagnostics across 54 files and remove
seven obsolete project suppressions
- fix the analyzer-clean touched-path CA1307 and the hierarchy follow-up
CA1846/CA1851 diagnostics without dropping legacy-TFM compatibility

- recover the reconcile queue after callback faults/cancellation and
continue accepted pending changes
- remove migration guidance for the xRegistry managers, which are new in
2.0

## Compatibility

- public WoT Connectivity model designation remains `1.1`
- generated event-record ABI, constructors, options, NodeIds, and stored
documents remain compatible
- the generic xRegistry managers are new in 2.0 and implement
`IAsyncNodeManager`;
use `IAsyncNodeManagerFactory` and the async lifecycle hooks (see
`docs\XRegistry.md`)
- persistence schema and document blobs remain compatible unless noted
below

## Validation

- merge validation at `980422f76` with upstream `e8bec27d5`: 454
targeted WoT/materialization/model/registry cases and all 327 XRegistry
cases passed on both net10.0 and net48; all 29 net10 aggregation sample
cases passed
- feedback regressions at `308e8ba74`: 55 targeted queue and live
registry event/projection/lifecycle cases passed on each of net10.0 and
net48
- prior CI: all 266 checks passed at `6489a0908`; the unchanged Ubuntu
Core certificate-counter test and dependent jobs passed on the one-time
retry ([run 34117304035, attempt
2](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/34117304035/attempts/2))
- `Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Tests` — 327 passed on net10.0 and net48 for
migration commit `32c914aaf`
- `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Tests` net10.0 — 1348 passed
- `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings.Tests` net10.0 — 683 passed
- `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` net10.0 — 3807 passed, 8 skipped
- `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` net10.0 — 145 passed
- `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Stack.Tests` net10.0 — 94 passed
- affected XRegistry and WoT client/server projects build successfully
- xRegistry NodeSet is byte-identical to the companion artifact
- repository-wide CA1861 inventory — 198 unique diagnostics across 54
files reduced to zero
- targeted changed-fixture validation — 1,098 passed, 3 skipped, 0
failed
- constrained full `UA.slnx` net10.0 Release build — CA1861 = 0
- `Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Client` net472 and netstandard2.1 builds — 0
warnings, 0 errors
- independent shared-array safety review — no significant issues
- `git diff --check`

The final review regressions cover concurrent reconcile/open, synthetic
logical
handle collisions across default switches, cross-session Close
isolation,
shared writer reservations, logical FileType property/change
propagation,
logical Labels delegation, role-fixed deletion, event sources,
model-version
gating, and stable `HasWoTProjection` targets.

The companion specification and protocol binding are reviewed in the
linked PRs above.

romanett 30ed2390a8 Import NodeSet2 documents into a fluent node manager (#4432)
## What

`INodeManagerBuilder.Import(UANodeSet, INodeSetImportFactoryProvider?)`
lets a source-generated (or hand-written fluent) node manager overlay a
NodeSet2 document that is only known at runtime onto the model it was
generated from.

Every document imported during one `Configure` pass forms a single batch
that is linked **exactly once** after the pass. A node may therefore
declare a `ParentNodeId` that lives in another document of the batch, or
a node the manager already owns — which is what makes an overlay
possible. Imported nodes resolve through
`Node(...)`/`NodeFromTypeId(...)` immediately, so they can be wired in
the same pass; they are registered with the manager when
`CompleteConfigureAsync` runs.

### Public surface

- **+1 method**: `INodeManagerBuilder.Import(UANodeSet nodeSet,
INodeSetImportFactoryProvider? factoryProvider = null)`.
- **+3 contracts** in `Opc.Ua.Server.Nodes`:
`INodeSetImportFactoryProvider`, `INodeSetImportFactory`,
`NodeSetImportDiscriminator` (TypeDefinition / MethodDeclaration /
NodeId).
- In `Opc.Ua.Export`: a public `UANodeSet.Import` overload taking a
`NodeSetImportStateFactory`, and a public batch
`LinkParentChildRelationships(context, nodes,
NodeSetImportLinkOptions)`. These replace what would otherwise have been
an `InternalsVisibleTo("Opc.Ua.Server")` on `Opc.Ua.Types`.
- `NodeState.IsExplicitlyDefinedChild(context, child)` and `protected
DetachExplicitlyDefinedChild(child)`, used to tell a generated slot
apart from an ordinary child.

### Typed states, no reflection

The generator emits `{Model}NodeSetImportFactoryProvider` — one factory
per model type/declaration, each calling a concrete constructor for an
*empty* state — and makes the generated node manager implement
`INodeSetImportFactoryProvider` by delegating to it. So the builder
resolves the provider from the manager (`NodeManager as
INodeSetImportFactoryProvider`); `Import` also accepts one directly, and
the generated manager exposes `partial void
AddNodeSetImportFactories(List<INodeSetImportFactory>)` for dependency
models. An imported node of a generated type materializes as its
generated `*State` subclass with no type lookup, which keeps the path
NativeAOT-safe.

Because the factories create empty states, an imported instance carries
exactly the children its document declares.

### Reconciliation

When an imported child lands in a slot the generated parent declares
(same BrowseName), it replaces the generated placeholder: the displaced
node and every descendant the document does not carry over are removed
from the manager, and references to them are retargeted at the
replacement. Replacing a node the same `Configure` pass already wired is
rejected with `BadInvalidState` rather than silently dropping the
wiring, and sealing a builder with an unregistered import batch is
rejected too.

### Also

- `RuntimeNodeSetNodeManager` now uses the same importer: its documents
are one batch, so a node may declare a parent in another document of the
group regardless of parse order, and duplicate NodeIds across documents
are detected while parsing.
- Linking resolves an imported child's reference type from its own
inverse reference (previously always `HasComponent`/`HasProperty`).
- Method import keeps the document's `UserExecutable`; it previously
copied `Executable` into it. View import keeps `EventNotifier`.

## Tests

- `NodeSetImporterTests` (15) — discriminator selection, generic
fallbacks, field/value/reference fidelity against a generic import,
cross-document linking, typed replacement of inherited and argument
slots, deferred linking preserving an application `Handle`, duplicate
NodeIds, factory misuse.
- `NodeSetImportBuilderTests` (15) — staging and lookup before
registration, batch linking, attaching to an existing node, provider
resolution, placeholder replacement with reference retargeting,
configured-placeholder rejection, seal/completion guards.
- `NodeSetImportIntegrationTests` (5) — a generated `[NodeManager]`
overlaying its own model on a running server: typed states through the
generated provider, cross-document linking, placeholder replacement, and
browse through a session.
- `NodeManagerGeneratorTests` (+4) — the emitted provider and the
manager's delegation, including that no factory uses
`Activator.CreateInstance`/reflection.
- `NodeSetAotTests` (+1) — the public state-factory import under
NativeAOT.

Full `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (4946), `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests`
(3821), `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests` (165) and `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests`
pass locally on net10.0.

romanett d9efda1d7d Make certificate leak assertions immune to concurrent test activity (#4440)
# Description

`UaSCBinaryClientChannelDeterministicTests` had a concurrency bug that
made the **full** `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` suite fail on master (e8bec27d5),
while the fixture passed 25/25 when run filtered.

```
dotnet test tests/Opc.Ua.Core.Tests/Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0
=> Failed: 1, Passed: 4391, Skipped: 86, Total: 4478
=> ReadAsymmetricMessageHeaderDisposesSenderChainWhenReceiverCertificateMissing
   Assert.That(Certificate.InstancesCreated - createdBefore,
               Is.EqualTo(Certificate.InstancesDisposed - disposedBefore))
   Expected: 1  But was: 2
```

**Cause.** The three `ReadAsymmetricMessageHeaderDisposesSenderChain*`
tests took a baseline of `Certificate.InstancesCreated` /
`InstancesDisposed` — static, process-wide counters — ran one parse,
then asserted the two deltas were equal. The fixture is
`[Parallelizable]`, so any certificate a concurrently running test
allocated inside the measured window inflated the created delta without
a matching dispose. Which test lost the race varied by environment
(locally `...WhenReceiverCertificateMissing`, on GitHub Actions
`test-ubuntu-latest-Core` the sibling
`...WhenReceiverThumbprintMismatches`), which is itself evidence of a
race rather than a product defect. The product path is fine — the
assertion passes whenever the window is uncontended.

**Fix.** Observe the exact handles the header parser allocated rather
than global counters. `ReadAsymmetricMessageHeader` disposes the sender
chain *and* clears the `out` parameter when validation fails, so the
chain is unreachable from the caller; an `internal
SenderCertificateChainParsedForTest` hook now surfaces it the moment it
is parsed. It is reachable through the existing `InternalsVisibleTo
Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` and follows the `IsHeldBySomeContextForTest`
precedent in `ChannelGate`.

The tests snapshot those handles — a copy without `AddRef`, since a
disposed `CertificateCollection` clears itself and throws on enumeration
— and probe each one with `AddRef()`, the only observable that
distinguishes a released core from a live one. The probe handle is
disposed immediately, so the refcount is untouched. Non-null and
non-empty assertions guard against a vacuous pass. The fixture stays
`[Parallelizable]`; `[NonParallelizable]` was rejected as it only
narrows the window and costs suite time.

## Audit of the other counter readers

| Site | Status |
| --- | --- |
|
`CertificateValidationHelpersTests.ConstructionFailureDisposesAlreadyBuiltCertificates`
| **Converted.** It asserted an *absolute* `created - before == 1`. Its
own factory delegate builds the instances, so it now tracks them
directly — no product change needed. |
| `CertificateManagerTests` (`GetIssuersAsync`) | Left as-is. Already
`[NonParallelizable]` on the test; the window spans a whole trust-list
resolve, where instance capture isn't practical. |
|
`UaSCBinaryLoopbackTests.FailedReconnectDisposesCandidateCertificateHandlesAsync`
| Left as-is. Fixture is `[NonParallelizable]`; measures a full TCP
reconnect. |
| `TrustedIssuerStoreResolverTests` (PubSub.Mqtt) | Left as-is. No
`[Parallelizable]` on the fixture and no assembly-level attribute, so it
runs in NUnit's non-parallel shift. |
| `LeakDetectionSetup` | Left as-is. Assembly-level teardown, where the
global counters are the correct observable. |

## Verification

- **Three full (unfiltered) `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` runs on net10.0: 0
failed, 4392 passed, 86 skipped, 4478 total** — one more pass than the
4391 on master. A filtered run cannot reproduce this failure, so the
full suite is the only meaningful check.
- **Negative control:** temporarily removing the product's
`senderCertificateChain?.Dispose()` failed all three tests with
`Expected: True, But was: False`, then reverted. The new assertions
still detect a genuine leak.
- Not run locally: the full **UA.slnx** solution against .NET Framework.
Leaving that to CI.

## Related Issues

No tracked issue — this is a test-infrastructure fix for a failure
observed on master and in the `test-ubuntu-latest-Core` CI job.

romanett ede0b68154 Fix reverse-connect certificate leak and stale-connection retry (#4386)
Two related robustness fixes on the reverse-connect / UA-SC handshake
path, both surfaced by the Sessions suite.

## 1. Certificate handle leak in the asymmetric header parse

`UaSCBinaryChannel.ReadAsymmetricMessageHeader` parses the sender
certificate chain (`Utils.ParseCertificateChainBlob`, allocating fresh
`Certificate` handles) and then runs several validations that can throw
— invalid/missing sender thumbprint, no matching receiver certificate,
receiver thumbprint mismatch, missing receiver thumbprint. The chain is
returned through an `out` parameter, so a throw never reaches the
caller's `using (senderCertificateChain)` in
`ReadAsymmetricMessageAsync`, and the freshly parsed chain is abandoned.
For a self-signed leaf that is exactly the intermittent `created ==
disposed + 1` seen on the Release leak gate under coverage
instrumentation. This is the third sibling of the two
concurrent-reconnect ownership leaks closed in #4356.

**Fix:** wrap the post-allocation region in a `try/catch` that disposes
the chain before rethrowing (validation logic unchanged).

**Test:**
`ReadAsymmetricMessageHeaderDisposesSenderChainWhenReceiverThumbprintMismatches`
crafts a header with a valid sender certificate and a mismatched
receiver thumbprint; without the fix it reproduces `created=3,
disposed=2` and trips the assembly leak gate, with the fix it passes.

## 2. Stale reverse-connection retry

A reverse connection the `ReverseConnectManager` delivers can already
have been closed by the server before the secure-channel handshake runs:
a server rotates and times out the outbound connections it offers, so
the one matched here — especially after an `updateBeforeConnect`
discovery round consumed an earlier one — may be stale. That surfaced as
an intermittent `BadConnectionClosed` ("Remote side closed the
connection") failing the whole connect (e.g.
`ReverseConnect2Async(true,true,…)`).

**Fix:** wrap reverse-connect session creation in
`DefaultSessionFactory` in a bounded retry (3 attempts) that requests a
freshly delivered connection when an attempt fails with a
connection-drop status (`BadConnectionClosed` / `BadNotConnected` /
`BadSecureChannelClosed`). Non-transient failures and cancellation still
surface immediately; the bound prevents an unbounded loop against a
genuinely unreachable server.

## 3. Test-host crash: NULL channel map in the inactivity timer

`TcpTransportListener.DetectInactiveChannels` (a fire-and-forget
inactivity-timer callback) iterated `m_channels` without holding
`m_lock`, while `CloseAsync` disposes the timer and nulls `m_channels`
under the lock. Disposing an `ITimer` does not join an
already-dispatched callback, so a late callback dereferenced the
now-null map and threw an unhandled `NullReferenceException` on a
thread-pool thread, crashing the process. This intermittently aborted
the `test-macOS-latest-Client` host.

**Fix:** snapshot `m_channels` and return early when null (mirroring the
existing guarded read on the accept path). Deterministic regression test
invokes the callback on a listener whose channel map is null (its state
before `OpenAsync` / after `CloseAsync`) and asserts it does not throw.

## Verification

- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` Stack.Transport/Client/Server: 2178 passed, leak
gate green.
- Coverage-instrumented `Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests` (the CI leg): 775
passed, 0 failed, leak gate green.
- Reverse-connect suite (`ReverseConnect*`): 52 passed with the retry.
- `Opc.Ua.Core` and `Opc.Ua.Client` build warning-free (net10.0, net48,
netstandard2.1, net472).

Note: the reverse-connect failure is a rare timing flake (0
reproductions in 88 local attempts), so fix #2 addresses the root cause
identified from the ADO log and is validated by construction plus
regression rather than by a captured local repro.

romanett 3543d7cf6c Report Executable/UserExecutable for state machine causes (#4368)
# Description

A Part 16 cause is a Method, and whether it may fire depends on the
state the machine is in. Part 3 defines `Executable` / `UserExecutable`
as exactly that question, and Part 4 has `Call` refuse a non-executable
Method with `Bad_NotExecutable`. `FiniteStateMachineState` already knows
the answer — `IsCausePermitted(context, causeId, checkUserAccessRights)`
— but nothing outside alarm shelving connected the two. Across the
library, `OnReadExecutable` was assigned in exactly three places, all in
`AlarmConditionState`. Everywhere else a cause method kept the `true`
its node was constructed with, so a client could not tell which causes
currently apply and found out only by calling one and being refused with
`Bad_NotSupported` from `DoCause`.

## What changed

**`StateMachineBuilder.WithCause`** now answers both attributes from
`IsCausePermitted` alongside installing the call handler — on the
unified builder (via the dispatcher's `InstallCauseMethod`) and on the
`Opc.Ua.Server.Fluent` surface reached through
`INodeBuilder.AsStateMachine()`, which had the identical gap.
`Executable` ignores user rights; `UserExecutable` also runs the
machine's `OnCheckUserPermission` callback.

Per the issue's note about servers that deliberately keep methods
executable and answer at call time, both overloads take
`reportExecutable: false` to opt out.

**`ProgramStateMachineState`** wires its own `Start` / `Suspend` /
`Resume` / `Halt` / `Reset` in `OnAfterCreate`, so a Program server no
longer repeats the boilerplate the class already shipped handlers for.
The Boiler quickstart's copy of it is deleted rather than left as an
example.

**Generator-emitted `*StateMachineState` subclasses** are left alone.
The generator emits no Part 16 `StateTable` / `TransitionTable` /
`CauseMappings` overrides — the same gap that makes the DI
software-update dispatcher write `CurrentState` directly instead of
going through `SetState` (see `docs/SoftwareUpdate.md`) — so there is
nothing to derive executability from. A vendor machine from a NodeSet
gets its causes through `StateMachineBuilder.For(...).WithCause(...)`,
which the first change covers. Worth revisiting if the generator gains
table emission.

## Notes for reviewers

Two details behind the `ProgramStateMachineState` change:

- The five methods are `OptionalPlaceholder` on
`ProgramStateMachineType`, so the generated class has no typed
properties for them. They are matched on browse name **without** the
namespace index, because a subtype that redeclares them puts them in its
own namespace — the Boiler model uses `1:Start`, not `0:Start`.
- `NodeState.Create` rebuilds the child list from the type template, so
a method added by hand before it is gone by the time `OnAfterCreate`
runs. `WireCauseMethods(ISystemContext)` is public for that case.

**Behaviour change worth flagging:** a `WithCause` against a machine
whose `CauseMappings` lack that cause now reports the method
non-executable where it previously reported executable. Such a call was
already failing with `Bad_NotSupported` inside `DoCause`, so it fails
earlier with the code Part 4 specifies rather than newly failing — but
it is visible to clients that read the attribute.

opt-out, `OnCheckUserPermission` affecting `UserExecutable` only,
suspended machines) and `ProgramStateMachineStateTests`, plus two cases
added to the existing fluent-builder fixture. All read through
`MethodState.ReadAttribute`, so a handler that is installed but never
consulted fails the test.

Run locally on **net10.0**: `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (4797),
`Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` (4374), `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.Features.Tests`,
`Opc.Ua.Robotics.Intent.Tests` and the Boiler AOT tests all pass;
`UA.slnx` builds with no new warnings. The .NET Framework legs were not
run locally — leaving that checklist box to CI.

Marc Schier 8d3eccd41c Fix concurrent channel reconnect certificate leaks (#4356)
# Description

Fix the intermittent one-certificate leak reported by the macOS Sessions
suite.

The leak had two concurrent ownership paths:

1. `ChannelEntry.OpenInitialAsync` could complete after a reconnect
cycle had already installed a
newer transport. The initial-open path overwrote `m_underlying`,
orphaning the reconnect
   transport and its certificate handles.
2. `UaSCUaBinaryTransportChannel.ReconnectAsync` did not dispose a newly
created inner channel when
`ConnectAsync` failed. Initial-open cleanup could also be skipped when
it reused the caller's
   already-cancelled token.

The fix keeps the transport installed first, closes and disposes the
losing candidate, disposes
failed reconnect candidates, and performs failed initial-open cleanup
independently of caller
cancellation.

This also adds opt-in Release allocation tracking for outstanding
`Certificate` handles. Set
`OPCUA_CERTIFICATE_LEAK_TRACKING=1` to include allocation stacks and
NUnit suite attribution in leak
failures. The contributor workflow is documented in
`docs/DeveloperGuide.md`.

## Tests and verification

- Added a deterministic `ChannelEntry` race test that orchestrates
concurrent initial open and
  reconnect, then verifies the losing transport is closed and disposed.
- Added deterministic UA-binary transport tests for failed reconnect
certificate cleanup and retry
  after a cancelled initial open.
- Pre-fix macOS diagnostic run reproduced 3 leaks in 15 full Sessions
runs:

https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/33329288604
- Post-fix targeted macOS run passed 50/50 exact reproducer executions:

- Post-fix full macOS run passed 15/15 complete Sessions suites:

https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/33335718790
- Full local net10 Sessions suite passed: 775 passed, 379 skipped, 1,154
total.
- Focused ownership regressions passed on net10 and net48.
- `Opc.Ua.Core` built warning-free across all supported target
frameworks.

Marc Schier aad8350bc1 Pluggable symmetric cryptography, an awaitable asymmetric path, registrable security policies, and PubSub crypto offboarding (#4206, #4207, #4208, #4210) (#4232)
# Description

Closes the three crypto-offboarding follow-ups split out of #4192. Each
was recorded there as knowingly *not* done, with the reason and what
would justify revisiting it. Those conditions are met, and where one of
them turned out to be unachievable that is written down rather than
worked around.

The safety property throughout: **every seam is opt-in and null-checked,
and in the default software configuration the added code is observably
inert.** No interface dispatch on the per-message path, and the
asynchronous paths complete synchronously — so channel locking order,
buffer ownership and error sequencing are unchanged for a deployment
that configures nothing.

## #4207 — symmetric, key-derivation and RNG provider seams

`ISymmetricCryptoProvider`, `IKeyDerivationProvider` and
`ISecureRandomSource`, added on the terms #4207 set: only once a
concrete requirement arrived (a validated module that must perform
*every* operation, not just the asymmetric ones), behind a fast path,
with `SymmetricChannelCryptoBenchmarks` as the gate.

They are **facets discovered by type test**, not members of
`ICryptoProvider`, so providers written against the shipped interface
still compile. `PlatformCryptoProvider` implements all three, which
answers the "an interface nothing implements" objection recorded in the
issue.

`CryptoProviderFacets` returns `null` both when no registry is
configured *and* when resolution lands on the platform, because the
platform facets are the inline code. Resolution happens once, in
`CalculateSymmetricKeySizes`, and is held for the life of the channel.

`CryptoCompliance.GetUnservedOperationPurposes` closes the failure the
seam would otherwise introduce: a provider bound to `ChannelSymmetric`
without implementing the facet is silently replaced by the platform, so
a deployment could believe its validated module performed the
per-message cryptography while the platform did. Under `FipsOnly` that
now refuses to start.

## #4208 — the asymmetric path is awaitable

`RSA` and `ECDsa` are .NET's contracts and cannot be replaced without
making every ready-made hardware and cloud implementation unusable.
Instead an implementation may **also** declare `IAsyncRsaKey` /
`IAsyncEcdsaKey`, which the stack finds by type test.

Now asynchronous: the secure channel open and renew path, user identity
token signing and decryption, and session activation. A software key
declares neither facet, so those paths complete synchronously and
nothing about their ordering changes.

`ReadAsymmetricMessage` is refactored into shared helpers rather than
duplicated — adding an `await` was not worth two hundred cloned lines of
signature, padding and endpoint-selection logic. `AsymmetricMessage` /
`AsymmetricWriteResult` exist because an asynchronous method cannot have
`out` parameters.

The channel no longer serialises its state on a monitor. A monitor
cannot be held across an `await`, and a plain `SemaphoreSlim` was not an
option at the time: the code relied on re-entrancy in eight places
(`HandleIncomingMessage` holds the lock and calls `ForceChannelFault`,
which takes it again; `ForceReconnect` and `Shutdown` do the same).
`ChannelGate` replaces it at 32 sites and `DataLock` is `[Obsolete]`.
That reliance has since been removed as well — see [Removing the gate's
re-entrancy](#removing-the-gates-re-entrancy) below.

### Defects this surfaced, all fixed and regression-tested

**Detached work started inline.** Writes were started with `_ =
WriteBuffersAsync(...)`. An async method runs its prologue on the
caller's stack, so `LeaveInheritedContext` — which exists to stop
*detached* work inheriting the right to re-enter the gate — was
stripping the **caller's own** entitlement; when the send then completed
synchronously, the completion blocked on a gate that very thread was
holding. The client sent its OpenSecureChannel request and never
processed the response. Writes are now queued.

**A synchronous gate handle held across an `await`.** `Enter()` records
the acquiring thread so an inline completion callback can re-enter —
`ChannelAsyncOperation` invokes its callback both inline and detached.
That record is only sound while the holder is synchronously on that
thread; the token renewal path held it across an await, so a reused pool
thread was recognised as the holder.

**`SignAsync` rejected the policy that signs nothing.** It validated the
certificate before the algorithm, so `SecurityPolicies.None` — which
carries no certificate — threw where the synchronous `Sign` returns
`null`.

**`EnterAsync` lost the holder when contended** *(found in review)*. The
`AsyncLocal` recording ownership was written inside the awaiting method,
and .NET restores the caller's execution context when an async method
completes, so the write was discarded. The caller returned owning the
semaphore while `IsHeldByCurrentContext` reported `false` — and any
nested `Enter()` then blocked forever on a gate its own context held.
Reachable remotely: `HandleIncomingMessageAsync` → error path →
`ForceChannelFault`. The holder is now published from the caller's frame
before the wait, and only its depth is raised in the continuation.

**Queued writes lost their order** *(found in review)*. Sequence numbers
are assigned under the gate, but independently queued work items reach
the transport's FIFO send lock in arbitrary order, so a peer could
reject a chunk with `BadSequenceNumberInvalid`. Writes are now appended
to a chain: still off the caller's stack, but a write cannot start
before its predecessor finishes.

### Four more this surfaced in CI, on paths only the integration suites
reach

Queuing the writes to fix the deadlock above turned out to have moved
three implicit guarantees, and the gate had one more liveness bug. Each
was reproduced locally against a clean baseline before it was changed.

**A faulting channel's error message never reached the peer.** A
listener channel sends a UASC `Error` describing why it faulted and
closes the transport as its next statement. That worked only because the
write started on the caller's stack, so the bytes reached the socket
first; queued, the close discarded them and the client saw
`BadConnectionClosed` instead of the certificate status it was told to
expect. Nine `SecurityCertValidationTests` cases assert exactly that
status. The terminal error is written inline again, on a path that
touches the gate only to disclaim what it inherited and reports nothing
— a channel that is already faulted is owed nothing beyond its buffer.

**The certificate of a rejected sender leaked.** An asynchronous method
cannot have `out` parameters, so the asymmetric read returns a record
instead. That silently dropped an ownership guarantee: an `out`
parameter reaches the caller even when the method goes on to throw, so
the caller's `catch` disposed the sender certificate and reported it to
the audit. A return value does not — nine leaked certificates, one per
rejection case, which the leak detector fails the run on. The parsed
certificate is now handed to the caller before anything that can reject
the message, restoring both the disposal and the audit.

**The gate could strand its own permit.** It released only when the
holder's depth returned to zero, but that depth lives in an `AsyncLocal`
and is therefore shared with every context forked from the owner's — a
timer callback whose timer was created inside the region, for instance.
Such a context entering the gate raised the shared depth, so the owner's
own exit saw a non-zero depth and returned without releasing, and
nothing afterwards could: the nested exit is not the owner. Every later
entry on that channel blocked forever. `Opc.Ua.Features.Tests` hung
after its tests had finished, with a receive loop waiting on the gate
and the server unable to stop. The owner now releases when it leaves;
depth still gates re-entrancy, but liveness no longer depends on a count
another context can move.

**Write completion throttled the writer.** Reporting a completed write
sat inside the ordering chain, and the client channel implements that
callback by entering the gate — so every write queued behind a gate the
receive loop contends for on each incoming chunk. A session with fifty
subscriptions publishing continuously had its publish requests throttled
enough that the client kept topping them up past its own limit, which
`Subscriptions.Classic` asserts against. Completion is now reported off
the chain, which covers only what ordering actually requires.

### Still synchronous, and why

Certificate, certificate request and revocation list signing cannot be
made asynchronous at all: `X509SignatureGenerator.SignData` is invoked
by .NET's own builders. Service faults and the `Reconnect` override are
reached from synchronous call sites (`SendServiceFault` alone has eight)
and are left as they are behind scoped, commented suppressions. All
three are documented rather than left to be rediscovered.

## #4210 — PubSub

This one produced a finding rather than the API the issue asked for, and
the finding is the point:

> **With a standard Security Key Service the key necessarily exists in
process memory.** `GetSecurityKeys` (Part 14 §8.3.2) returns raw key
bytes over the wire, so the "key never leaves the device" property #4192
achieved for client and server **cannot** be achieved for PubSub through
the SKS pull profile. That is a property of the specification, not of
this stack.

A wrapped-key envelope would change what is on the wire and break
interoperability with third-party key services and publishers, so it was
rejected rather than built.

What is achievable is delivered: the per-message AES-CTR and HMAC route
through `ISymmetricCryptoProvider`, so a validated module performs them.
`IPubSubSecurityPolicy` is **not** modified — new members would break
every implementation of it; the provider is supplied through the policy
constructor. `PlatformSymmetricCryptoProvider` gained AES counter mode,
which the seam should have covered anyway since the algorithm enum names
it.

Key lifetime is also tightened: unpacking an SKS response copied key
material into intermediates that `ByteString.Create` then copied again,
leaving plain keys in the heap for the lifetime of the process. Those
are now zeroed.

### Two wiring gaps this depended on, both found in review

The registrations above were **inert**, so this section originally
claimed more than the code did:

- `CryptoProviderConfiguration` was applied nowhere outside tests, so
`AddCryptoProvider(configure)` never reached the registry in a real
host. The registry now applies every registered configuration when it is
first resolved — which also affects #4207's DI story.
- `PubSubSecurityWrapperResolver` selected
`PubSubAes256CtrPolicy.Instance`, the provider-less static singleton,
ignoring the provider-backed bundles registered for it. A `FipsOnly`
deployment therefore certified while the platform did the work. The
resolver now selects from the registered policies; the container and
`PubSubApplicationBuilder` both supply theirs.

A third, smaller one: `CryptoProviderBuilder.Use` published a
**policy-scoped** random source as the process-wide nonce source, so
`.For(purpose, policyUri).Use(hsm)` redirected nonce generation for
every other policy too. Only an unscoped binding does that now.

## #4206 — a provider can contribute a security policy

Added in review: the policy set was fixed at compile time, so a provider
could contribute key custody but not a *profile*. It is now table-driven
and open, and the blockers #4206 listed are gone.

```csharp
using IDisposable registration = SecurityPolicies.Register(
    new SecurityPolicyInfo("urn:vendor:SecurityPolicy#CustomProfile", "CustomProfile")
    {
        PlatformSupport = () => true,
        SupportedCertificateTypes = [ObjectTypeIds.RsaSha256ApplicationCertificateType],
        IsDefault = true
    });

services.AddOpcUa()
    .AddCryptoProvider(crypto => crypto
        .For(CryptoPurpose.ChannelSymmetric, "urn:vendor:SecurityPolicy#CustomProfile").Use(module))
    .AddSecurityPolicy(customPolicy);
```

- **The reflection is gone.** Four lookup tables were built by
reflecting over the fields of `SecurityPolicies` and
`SecurityPolicyInfo`. They are one explicit table now, which removes the
**last reflection in `Security/Constants`** — so this is a trimming and
Native AOT improvement as much as a feature.
- **`SecurityPolicyInfo` is constructible from another assembly** and
carries the metadata the helpers need, so `IsPlatformSupportedName`,
`GetDefaultUris`, `MapSecurityPolicyToCertificateTypes` and
`GetCurveFromCertificateTypeId` read that table instead of each being
hand-written. Adding a policy is one entry rather than five edits.
- **The dead `#if CURVE25519` conditional is deleted** from
`Security/Constants`.
- Registration is copy-on-write, so the read path stays lock-free.
Shadowing a built-in policy requires `replaceExisting: true` and is
reversible by disposing the registration.

`RegisterLightsUpCurvePoliciesFromOutsideCore` is the acceptance test
the issue asked for: it registers `ECC_curve25519` and `ECC_curve448`
from the test project and asserts they become discoverable through the
public API.

**Registering a policy makes it advertised and resolvable; it does not
supply the cryptography behind it.** For those two curve profiles the
in-tree key agreement is still behind a compile symbol no project
defines plus a BouncyCastle dependency, so a deployment lighting them up
provides the operations through a provider. That division is the point:
the policy set says *what* is offered, the provider says *who* performs
it.

## Removing the gate's re-entrancy

Folded in from #4242, which was merged into this branch.

`ChannelGate` was re-entrant, and that forced the design behind most of
the defects above. A holder that awaits releases its thread, so
ownership could not be tracked by thread identity — it had to live in an
`AsyncLocal<Holder?>`. A logical context is *inherited*, so anything
started while the gate was held inherited the right to re-enter and ran
inside the guarded region alongside whatever started it, unless it opted
out by hand via `LeaveInheritedContext()` at each of eight sites,
enforced by review alone. Five of the defects listed above trace to that
mechanism, including both CI hangs.

So the *requirement* was removed rather than the mechanism, and the
`AsyncLocal` then deleted itself. Every path that re-entered now calls a
lock-free `Core` method (`ForceChannelFaultCore`, `ShutdownCore`,
`ForceReconnectCore`, `CompleteConnectCore`), and three regions stopped
running foreign code under the lock: the `RequestReceived` dispatch is
deferred until the gate is released, `OnTransportError` no longer wraps
the `HandleSocketError` virtual, and the callback setters and
`EndpointDescription` publish a single reference with a volatile write
instead of locking — the last is load-bearing, because
`AsyncResultBase.OperationCompleted` invokes the reverse-hello callback
inline while the gate is held.

`ChannelGate` is now a `SemaphoreSlim(1,1)` behind a `Releaser`;
`Holder`, the thread-identity fallback, `LeaveInheritedContext`,
`IsHeldByCurrentContext` and all eight disclaimer calls are gone, with
the call shape at all 32 sites unchanged. `SaveIntermediateChunk`,
`GetSavedChunks` and `DoMessageLimitsExceeded` gained a `gateHeld`
argument, because the client reaches them both with and without the gate
and must pick the matching teardown — without it an oversized
`OpenSecureChannel` response deadlocked the receive loop against itself.

The remaining paths were not found by reading the code, since that is
what missed them originally. A temporary strict mode made every
re-entrant acquisition throw with its stack, the suite was run under it
until clean, and it was deleted with the re-entrancy it measured. It
caught two sites review had missed: the `EndpointDescription` **property
getter** taking the gate, and the `RequestReceived` dispatch to
application code happening inside the guarded region.

Two deliberate residuals are documented for reviewers: `Dispose` no
longer takes the gate (unavoidable — it is reached from `ChannelFaulted`
with the gate held, where the old re-entrant acquisition excluded
nothing anyway), and the deferred request dispatch builds
`SecureChannelContext` just after gate release rather than under it.

## Testing

New: the three seams and their platform implementations, facet discovery
and resolution precedence, `FipsOnly` refusing a provider that cannot
serve what it was bound to, AES counter mode (including a
non-block-aligned round trip and a check that the counter carries, since
one that did not would silently reuse key stream), `ChannelGate`
(exclusion, re-entrancy across an await, re-entrancy on a reused thread,
and the deadlocks above), the asynchronous channel paths, and the PubSub
policy provider.

Each review finding got a test that fails without its fix:

- `ContendedEntryStillRecordsTheHolderAsync` — established contention
deterministically, then re-entered; failed on the pre-fix gate. Removed
with the re-entrancy it covered; `ChannelGateTests` now asserts the
non-re-entrant contract instead.
- `SecureClientAndTcpListenerKeepChunkOrderUnderConcurrentRequestsAsync`
— 60 concurrent multi-chunk `SignAndEncrypt` requests over a real
loopback listener; failed 3 runs out of 3 with the previous dispatch,
passes 3 out of 3 with the chain.
-
`DependencyInjectionRoutesPubSubCryptoThroughTheRegisteredProviderAsync`
— builds a container, registers a counting provider, wraps a message and
asserts the provider actually performed the encryption and the
signature. This is the assertion the PubSub claim above now rests on.
- `PolicyScopedRandomBindingDoesNotEscapeItsPolicy`.

Two further assertions are the ones that would catch a silent defect: a
provider and the platform must produce **byte-identical** output — a
validated module that disagreed could not interoperate — and with a
software key the returned `ValueTask` must report
`IsCompletedSuccessfully`, which is what makes "ordering is unchanged"
checkable rather than merely asserted.

`SymmetricChannelCryptoBenchmarks` gains a provider-registered variant
beside the existing baseline, so the cost of the indirection is measured
rather than assumed.

Verified locally, every suite at or above its recorded baseline: `dotnet
build UA.slnx -c Release` **0 warnings, 0 errors on all six target
frameworks**; Core **4413** (net10.0); Core.Security **617**, with its
certificate-leak detector clean; PubSub **1350** plus PubSub.Diagnostics
**54** and PubSub.Udp **233**; Features **156**; Subscriptions.Classic
**32**; Server integration **4053**; Client integration **2123**;
MigrationAnalyzer **151** and MigrationAnalyzer.Core **13**. Zero
failures in each.

Core moved from 4388 to 4381 when the gate change landed — eight
re-entrancy tests were removed along with the behaviour they covered,
and one deadlock regression test added — and has since grown to 4413
with the registry isolation, provider-output and security-review tests.
`ChannelGateTests` was rewritten around the new contract — exclusion
across both entry modes, an uncontended asynchronous entry not
suspending, re-entry blocking by contract, and the property that used to
be the hazard: work started while the gate is held is excluded without
having to opt out.

Every CI failure this PR produced was reproduced locally, diagnosed
against a clean `origin/master` baseline in a second worktree, and fixed
at the source. Two hangs were found from `--blame-hang-timeout` dumps
read with `dotnet-dump`. One failure that looked like a candidate was
confirmed **not** to be: an intermittent `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` connect
failure, pre-existing on `origin/master` (5 of 8 baseline runs failed,
versus 3 of 14 here).

### The publish request overshoot

`Subscriptions.Classic.PublishRequestCountAsync` failed on the Windows
net10.0 leg with **207** outstanding publish requests against a cap of
`max(maxServerPublishRequest, subscriptions)` = 50. It failed in 2 of 6
pipeline builds on this branch, never on `master` in 13 sampled builds,
and never locally in 12 attempts including under deliberate CPU
contention.

The mechanism is a genuine race.
`ClassicSubscriptionEngine.QueueBeginPublish` was a **check-then-act**:
it read `GoodPublishRequestCount`, compared it against
`GetDesiredPublishRequestCount(false)`, and issued a publish if it was
below. It runs on every publish completion, so *n* completions that
overlap each read the same value, each conclude they are below the cap,
and each issue — overshooting by up to *n* per round. The read also
*lags*: a request only becomes visible to `GoodPublishRequestCount` once
`AsyncRequestStarted` has recorded it, which happens after the request
has already been sent.

That code is pre-existing and was untouched by this PR. What this PR
changed is how hard the race is hit: the server used to hold the channel
gate across request processing, which serialised every request on a
channel, so publish completions arrived one at a time. Dispatching
`RequestReceived` outside the gate — an intended improvement, since a
channel should not serialise on application request-processing time —
lets them complete concurrently.

Rather than change the publish pipeline blind, the race was first made
reproducible.
`ConcurrentPublishReEvaluationDoesNotExceedDesiredRequestCount` drives
64 barrier-released completions against a mocked context whose count
lags the send exactly the way the session's does. It issued **64
requests where 5 were desired** — the same defect the CI leg hit, now
deterministic and running in milliseconds.

The engine now tracks the requests it has in flight and reserves a slot
with a compare-exchange before sending, so the decision and the send are
one atomic step. The reservation is released when the request completes,
when the send is declined, or when it throws. The repro test then issues
at most the desired count.

`StartPublishing` is deliberately left **uncapped**. It is the recovery
valve that refills a pipeline whose requests are outstanding but no
longer expected to return, so gating it on the in-flight count would
remove the only path out of a stalled pipeline. An earlier revision of
this fix did gate it, and that is the one change here that could not be
justified on the evidence — it was reverted.

The assertion was **not** loosened, retried away, or marked flaky: it
caught a real throttling regression earlier in this PR and is worth
keeping sharp.

Validated: the repro test red before the fix and green after;
`Subscriptions.Classic` 32/32 **five** consecutive runs on net10.0 and
once on net48; `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` 2124 on net10.0 across four
consecutive runs and 2127 on net48; `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests` 604
passed with this fix in place.

### The SSH.NET advisory that turned CI red repo-wide

Partway through this work every build job began failing with `NU1903:
Package 'SSH.NET' 2025.1.0 has a known high severity vulnerability`
([GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284),
`<= 2025.1.0` affected, first patched `2026.0.0`).

Nothing in the dependency graph changed — the advisory was published.
Build 17026 failed on it where build 17000, two hours earlier on an
identical graph, had passed every build job. SSH.NET is not referenced
anywhere in the repository; it arrives transitively through
`Testcontainers.Kafka`.

`master` landed the remediation independently while this was being
investigated (a central transitive pin to `2026.0.0`, which
`CentralPackageTransitivePinningEnabled` exists for). This branch
briefly carried its own identical pin, which made the merge commit hold
**two** `PackageVersion` entries for SSH.NET and fail restore with
`NU1506`. The duplicate is removed and `master` is merged, so the pin
now comes from one place only.

The audit was **not** suppressed: `NuGetAudit` stays enabled and
`NU1903` stays an error. Verified after the merge — `dotnet restore
UA.slnx` reports neither NU1903 nor NU1506, and `dotnet build UA.slnx -c
Release` is **0 warnings, 0 errors** with the audit live.

The remaining red check in build 17026 was not from this change either.
`aot-ubuntu-latest` is the intermittent `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` failure
already noted above — `ReconnectSessionAsync` timed out at 30s with 135
of 136 passing. It remains below the `origin/master` baseline rate (4 of
15 sampled here against 5 of 8 on the baseline), and the managed
reconnect paths are green throughout: `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` 2124 across
four consecutive runs and `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests` 604.


## Documentation

`docs/CryptoProvider.md` gains sections on substituting the symmetric
primitives, using a key served over a network, and PubSub — including
what cannot be claimed and why, the scope rule for a random-source
binding, and how to supply a provider-backed policy outside the
container. `docs/MigrationGuide.md` covers the `[Obsolete]` channel
virtuals and `DataLock`, and the non-re-entrant gate's contract for
channel subclasses. `docs/WhatsNewIn2.0.md` is updated.
`plans/cryptooffboard.md` is deleted now that the work it planned has
landed.

## Note for reviewers

This touches the secure channel handshake, which is the most
security-critical code in the stack. Nine distinct concurrency and
lifetime defects were found and fixed in it during this work — three
during development, two in review, four from CI — so `ChannelGate`, the
write path and the certificate ownership across the new suspension
points deserve the closest reading.

Five of those nine traced to the gate's `AsyncLocal`, which is why the
re-entrancy was subsequently removed and the `AsyncLocal` deleted. The
wrapper/`Core` split and the two documented residuals in that section
are the parts most worth a second reading.

The #4206 work removes the last reflection from `Security/Constants` and
rewrites the policy lookup tables, so
`SecurityConfiguration.SupportedSecurityPolicies` and the endpoint set
it feeds are worth a second look: an earlier revision of it changed that
set and broke six server tests, which is now covered by
`SecurityConfigurationBuildsExpectedSupportedPolicySet`.

## Related Issues

- Fixes #4206
- Fixes #4207
- Fixes #4208
- Fixes #4210
- Follow-up #4250 — this PR makes the security policy set injectable,
but nothing in the stack resolves `ISecurityPolicyRegistry` from DI yet,
so every production path still lands on the `Default` fallback. #4250
tracks threading it through `Session` and `UaSCBinaryChannel`, which is
what makes the injection points already added here load-bearing.

romanett 8d2d363d04 Add MultiState Discrete write validation (#4255)
## Summary

Adds hand-written partial state classes that enforce OPC UA Part 8
§5.3.3 write validation for the `DiscreteItemType` subtypes, plus tests.

## Details

- **`MultiStateDiscreteState`** — a written value is treated as an index
into `EnumStrings`. Returns `BadOutOfRange` when the index is outside
`[0, len)`.
- **`MultiStateValueDiscreteState`** — a written value is matched
against the sparse `EnumValues` set. Returns `BadOutOfRange` when no
entry matches. On a good write, `ValueAsText` is refreshed from the
matching entry's display name.
- **`DiscreteItemState`** — provides the shared `TryGetIntegerValue`
helper that normalizes any scalar integer built-in type to `long` (the
exact-type `Variant` accessors return `default` on a built-in-type
mismatch, so a `BuiltInType` switch is required).
- **`TwoStateDiscreteType`** intentionally has no hand-written class.

These 3 classes are `public partial class` extending the
source-generated DataAccess partials already present on `master`. They
read via the typed properties (`EnumStrings`, `EnumValues`,
`ValueAsText`) rather than `FindChild`, because
`BaseDataVariableState.FindChild` special-cases the `EnumStrings`
BrowseName and never falls through to the `AddChild`'d children.

## Testing

- `dotnet build src\Opc.Ua.Core.Types\Opc.Ua.Core.Types.csproj -c
Release -f net10.0` → 0 warnings, 0 errors.
- 13 tests across `MultiStateDiscreteStateTests` and
`MultiStateValueDiscreteStateTests` pass (13 passed, 0 failed).

romanett aef86ba9dc Add SelectionListType write validation (#4254)
## Summary

Adds write-validation for the standard OPC UA `SelectionListType`
VariableType via the handwritten `SelectionListState` partial, plus unit
tests. Split out of #4220 into its own PR against `master`.

## The feature

`SelectionListState` overrides `WriteValueAttribute` to enforce **OPC UA
Part 5 section 7.18**: when the optional `RestrictToList` property is
present and `true`, a written value must be one of the entries in the
mandatory `Selections` property.

Behavior contract:
- Validation **gates on `RestrictToList`** — only enforced when the
property is present and true. Otherwise the base-class behavior applies
unchanged.
- **Empty `Selections` rejects all** values (nothing is a valid member).
- Membership is **data-type independent** — determined via `Variant`
equality rather than any specific built-in type.
- **Mismatched built-in types defer to the base class** for its normal
type validation.

The generated `SelectionListState` partial (base
`BaseDataVariableState`, typed
`Selections`/`SelectionDescriptions`/`RestrictToList` properties) is
produced by the source generator from the core address space; this
handwritten partial supplies only the write-validation override, using a
single clean generic helper.

## Validation

- Build `Opc.Ua.Core.Types` (net10.0, Release): **0 warnings, 0
errors**.
- `SelectionListStateTests` (net10.0, Release): **14 passed, 0 failed**.

Marc Schier a7c776e8d4 Align the WoT implementation with spec: type binding, removed vocabulary, Alarms and Conditions (#4225)
# Description

Aligns the WoT implementation with the normative changes in the OPC UA
WoT
specification drafts that the stack had not picked up, and fixes the
defects
that alignment surfaced.

The driving artifact is

[OPCF-Members/spec-drafts#19](https://github.com/OPCF-Members/spec-drafts/pull/19),
*"bind a projected node to an already-loaded type, by name or by
NodeId"*, which
landed on the spec `main` after this repository last tracked it.

## 1. Bind a projected node to an existing type (Binding §5.2.1)

§5.2.1 lets a document state that the node it projects is an instance of
a type
that **already exists** — one a companion model defines and the Server
has
loaded, or one a sibling document of the same conversion defines — so a
converter binds to that type instead of defining a second type of the
same
shape.

The converter hardcoded `HasTypeDefinition` to `BaseObjectType`, so a
document
that named its type projected an **untyped** node: a client browsing for
the
companion type would not find it, and nothing said why.

Both forms are now implemented, resolved against the §5.1.5 **local
context** —
the other documents being converted together first, a loaded
AddressSpace as the
fallback. `IWotNodeResolver` supplies that context (is a namespace held;
what
does a qualified BrowseName match; what does an ExpandedNodeId
identify),
`WotCompositeNodeResolver` composes implementations in the specified
order, and
`NullWotNodeResolver` is the default that holds nothing. The converter
needed no
new async surface: the binding is resolved in a pre-resolve pass,
exactly as
Thing references already are, and the synchronous core consumes the
result.

The §5.2.1 table is honoured: a unique name binds; the link settles an
ambiguous
name; a name that resolves to nothing while the link resolves is
**invalid**
(that is a mistake in the name, not a shorthand for the identifier); two
forms
resolving to different Nodes are invalid; a resolved type of the wrong
NodeClass
is invalid. A binding naming a type the local context does not hold
**fails**
rather than falling back to `BaseObjectType` — a silently mistyped node
is worse
than a reported failure.

A compact name is told from ordinary `@type` annotation **by
namespace**, not by
whether the lookup succeeds, so `saref:TemperatureSensor` on a Server
that has
never heard of SAREF stays the annotation it always was.

The definitive form — a `ua:HasTypeDefinition` link whose
`href` is the ExpandedNodeId of the type. An ExpandedNodeId matches
exactly one
Node or none, so it needs no lookup.

A Node has exactly one `HasTypeDefinition`, so:

- two such links → `AmbiguousTypeBinding` (6019), and the root keeps the
default
  rather than being bound to a guess;
- a link with no usable identifier → `InvalidTypeBinding` (6020);
- no binding at all → the `BaseObjectType` default is unchanged.

## 2. Drop the six vocabulary terms `#19` removed

`#19` deleted `uav:capability`, `uav:componentModel`, `uav:reference`,
`uav:congruentType`, `uav:congruentTypeName` and `uav:nameNamespace`
from the
context, the JSON Schema and the ontology. A link now names its
ReferenceType
directly in `rel`, so the three link relations become `ua:HasInterface`,
`ua:HasComponent` and `ua:NonHierarchicalReferences`, and the
congruent-type
pair is superseded by the §5.2.1 type binding.

Their validation and mapping are removed; they are now ordinary residue
like any
other unrecognised term.

### A real gap this uncovered

The converter knew **eight** ReferenceTypes by name and had neither
`NonHierarchicalReferences` (`i=32`) nor `HasInterface` (`i=17603`) — so
the two
relations that *replace* `uav:reference` and `uav:capability` could not
resolve
at all. That includes example 02, which this repository vendors as a
golden
asset and which `#19` rewrote to use them. Both are now in the map.

`uav:congruentType` was also the only term that redirected one reference
to
another while resolving a link target, so `ResolveTargetNodeIdAsync` no
longer
needs a loop. It resolves once and reports an unresolved target; the
resolution
context is still entered and the bytes still counted, so the
per-conversion
document, depth and byte bounds are unchanged.

## 3. Reject an out-of-range event severity instead of clamping it

`uav:severity` had grown in this implementation without being a
specification
term. Rather than drop it, it is proposed upstream in

[OPCF-Members/spec-drafts#21](https://github.com/OPCF-Members/spec-drafts/pull/21),
which defines it with an explicit rule: the value **shall** be in the
OPC 10000-5
range 1..1000, and a consumer **shall not** silently clamp it.

The implementation clamped, so a document asking for severity 5000 was
accepted
and published as 1000 — the mistake was hidden while what the author
asked for
was changed. An affordance carrying an out-of-range severity is now
skipped,
with the reason logged, and its half-built event type and
`GeneratesEvent`
reference are removed.

### Defect found while making that change

The occurrence-time path read `ValidateSeverity(severity) ??
tag.Severity`.
Because `ValidateSeverity(null)` returns the 500 default, it **never**
fell back
to the affordance's authored severity: an occurrence reported without a
severity
published 500 rather than the authored 900. Build-time validation and
the
occurrence-time choice are now separate methods.

## 4. Vendored examples and honest coverage claims

Examples 21 and 22 were missing from the vendored golden assets.
Converting
example 22 is now the end-to-end check for §5.2.1 — the specification's
own
example rather than a fixture written to match the implementation.

`docs/WotBindings.md` claimed ten of the eleven conformance units and
silently
omitted **WoT-ConditionMapping**, and said "twenty worked examples". The
count
is corrected, and WoT-ConditionMapping is now **covered** — see §5
below.

## 5. Alarms and Conditions (Binding §13)

The last unclaimed conformance unit. A projected Condition event now
derives
from the ConditionType it names rather than from `BaseEventType`;
falling back
would lose the Condition state model entirely, leaving a Client unable
to tell
an alarm from an ordinary event.

The two forms follow the hint-plus-pin pattern of §5.3:
`uav:conditionTypeId`
is definitive and wins, `uav:conditionType` is a readable hint resolved
for the
four ConditionTypes §13.1 scopes. An unpinned name outside that set is
reported
rather than guessed.

Four conformance rules are enforced, each because breaking it yields a
document
a consumer can read but cannot act on:

| Rule | Section | Diagnostic |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A Condition event declares `EventId` in its `data` | 13.3 |
`ConditionEventIdMissing` |
| `uav:conditionAction` is inside its closed set | 13.2 |
`InvalidConditionAction` |
| `uav:actsOn` names a Condition event in the same document | 13.4 |
`InvalidConditionTarget` |
| `Acknowledge`/`Confirm`/`AddComment` declare an `EventId` input | 13.4
| `ConditionActionInputMissing` |

`Enable` and `Disable` act on the Condition instance rather than one
occurrence
and are deliberately exempt from the last rule, pinned by a negative
test.
Shelving, suppression, dialog conditions and `ConditionRefresh` stay out
of
scope, as §13.1 scopes the mapping.

## 6. The sibling half of the §5.1.5 local context

`SnapshotWotNodeResolver` indexes the registry snapshot a conversion
runs over
and is wired into `WotNodeSetDocumentConverter`, so a document naming a
type
another document in the same registry projects resolves with no
AddressSpace at
all. Only Thing Models are indexed: a Thing Model projects a
`UAObjectType` and
is a valid target, a Thing Description projects an instance and never
is.

Identity comes from the new public
`WotNodeSetConverter.TryDescribeProjectedType`,
which applies exactly the rules the conversion uses, so an index entry
and the
projected node cannot drift apart. Ambiguity is preserved rather than
resolved:
two siblings sharing a qualified name yield both matches so the caller
can
report it.

## Deliberately not in this PR

- **The AddressSpace-backed `IWotNodeResolver`.** The abstraction, the
composite, the null default and the sibling-document implementation ship
here; the AddressSpace-backed half needs a cached type-hierarchy walk
behind
a server `OperationContext` and follows separately. Until it exists a
host
gets the sibling context plus the null fallback, which reports a binding
as
  unresolved rather than mistyping it.
- **Two §5.2.1 obligations that need the address space**: not
duplicating a
  mandatory instance declaration of the resolved type, and rejecting
  disagreement with an instantiated Thing Model.
- **Connectivity §7.3 parent resolution.**

Each is tracked; none is faked here.

## Related Issues

There is no tracking issue: this came out of a
spec-versus-implementation audit
rather than a reported defect, and the driving artifacts are the two
upstream
spec PRs linked above. Happy to open one if maintainers prefer — the
§5.2.1
follow-up in particular is worth an ADR, since the local-context
resolver is a
new injectable provider spanning two assemblies.

### Verification detail

| | net10.0 | net48 |
|---|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` | 8573 / 8573 | 8555 / 8555 |

Full `UA.slnx` build: **0 errors, 0 warnings** across all target
frameworks,
re-verified after `master` was merged into the branch.

Every new test was mutation-verified: the type-binding tests against
three
mutations (revert to the hardcoded default, drop the ambiguity check,
accept an
empty `href`), the severity tests against reinstating the clamp, and the
ReferenceType additions against removing them from the map. Each
mutation failed
the suite before the change was kept.

Marc Schier 1cca744b5c Retire the last exposed locks: node, browser, server diagnostics and application properties (#4222)
Closes #4201. Closes #4202. Closes #4203. Closes #4215. Closes #4216.

(#4215 and #4216 are @marcschier's originals from the #4188 review;
#4202 and #4201 are my later duplicates of the same two findings. All
four describe the two changes in section 1 and are closed together.)

**This PR now carries what was #4221 as well.** The two were a stack;
they have been unstacked and combined here, and #4221 is closed.
Everything below the "Read the server diagnostics" section is the work
that was previously reviewed as #4221.

---

## 1. The browse path guards itself, and the last node locks are gone

`AsyncCustomNodeManager` kept two `lock (source)` sites around
`CreateBrowser`, carrying a NOTE that browser creation was not
internally synchronized. `NodeBrowser` still handed its lock to derived
types through `protected Lock DataLock`.

`NodeState.CreateBrowser` now holds a browse lock across
`PopulateBrowser` and `OnPopulateBrowser`, so browser construction on a
node is serialized — which is what the external `lock (source)` was
actually providing, and what a handler that mutates the node during
population (the historian's lazy config installer) depends on. Both
`lock (source)` statements and the NOTE are gone.

**What that lock does not do**, stated plainly in the XML docs and in
`docs/NodeManagers.md` rather than over-promised: it is not an atomic
snapshot across the node's children, notifiers and references. Writers
take those collections' own locks, not the browse lock. The browser is a
point-in-time copy and each collection is read consistently, but the
combination is not a transaction.

No `lock` takes a `NodeState` as its sync root any more. That was the
last thing keeping `NodeState` from being documentably self-guarding, so
the other eleven went with it: `lock (activeNode)`, `lock (target)`,
`lock (source.Node)`, `lock (target.Node)`, `lock (notifier)`, `lock
(handle.Node)` in `AsyncCustomNodeManager`, and `lock (node)` in
`CustomNodeManager2`. Most were a check-then-act pair now served by
`NodeState.AddReferenceIfMissing`, which does the check and the insert
under the node's own lock.

`NodeBrowser.DataLock` is removed. A browser is **single-consumer**: it
belongs to whoever created it, and both server browse paths already
serialize on the owning side. The exposed lock only added an
inheritance-level locking contract that a derived browser could not
reason about.

## 2. Read the server diagnostics under the lock every writer takes

`OnUpdateDiagnostics` locked the diagnostics **payload** rather than the
lock every writer takes through `UpdateServerDiagnostics`, so the
snapshot a client reads from the `ServerDiagnostics` node was never
excluded from a concurrent writer.

Both halves matter, and the second is the one that is easy to miss:

```csharp
lock (m_diagnosticsLock)                                        // was: lock (ServerDiagnostics)
{
    value = Variant.FromStructure(ServerDiagnostics, copy: true);  // was: copy defaulted to false
}
```

`copy: true` is what makes it a snapshot. `FromStructure(value, copy:
false)` does `new ExtensionObject(value, copy)` — it wraps the **live**
structure without copying it, so the caller would read the fields long
after the lock was released and see them change underneath. Swapping the
lock alone would have looked like a fix while still excluding nothing.

## 3. Analyzer numbering

The browser rule is **UA0027**, not UA0025. This branch had
independently taken UA0025 for `NodeBrowser.DataLock` while #4188
published UA0025 for `ILocalNode.DataLock` and UA0026 for
`BaseVariableValue.Lock`. Master's are shipped, so they keep the
numbers:

| | UA0025 | UA0026 | UA0027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| master (#4188) | `ILocalNode.DataLock` | `BaseVariableValue.Lock` | —
|
| **this PR** | `ILocalNode.DataLock` | `BaseVariableValue.Lock` |
**`NodeBrowser.DataLock`** |

Both sides had written a different `UA0025Tests.cs`, which arrived as an
add/add conflict. They are now split: `UA0025Tests.cs` holds master's
`ILocalNode` tests, `UA0027Tests.cs` holds the `NodeBrowser` ones.

UA0024's help text also drops its reference to `ReadServerDiagnostics`,
which #4193 removed as unused, and names `ISession.ReadDiagnostics` /
`ISubscription.ReadDiagnostics` instead — those do still exist.


## 4. Two more locks reachable from outside their owner

**`ApplicationConfiguration.PropertiesLock` is removed.** It returned
the properties dictionary itself, so `lock
(configuration.PropertiesLock)` was `lock (configuration.Properties)` —
the lock *was* the data it guarded, the same shape as #4203.

It had exactly one production consumer
(`OAuth2CredentialCollection.Load`, a get-or-add with `ParseExtension`
called inside the lock), so it could not simply be deleted. `Properties`
is now a `ConcurrentDictionary` — same public type, every operation
atomic on its own — and the one multi-operation need gets a member of
its own:

```csharp
public T GetOrAddProperty<T>(string key, Func<T> valueFactory);
```

It deliberately does **not** invoke the factory under a lock, so
`ParseExtension` now runs outside any critical section. Holding a lock
across a caller-supplied callback is exactly the shape that produced the
attribute/diagnostics deadlock earlier in this work.

The two existing tests asserted only `PropertiesLock is not null`, so
they tested nothing but its presence. They are replaced by tests of the
contract: factory runs once for a missing key, not at all for a present
one, 32 concurrent callers all observe the same instance, null arguments
throw.

`PropertiesLock` ships in 1.5.378, so this is a breaking removal —
migration guide section plus analyzer **UA0028**.

**`SharedDefinitionCache` no longer hands out its lock.** Three sites in
`SharedKeyValueSubscriptionStore` took the nested cache's `Lock` to
operate on the cache's own dictionary. Both are private now, behind
`ReplaceAll` and `CloneWhere`.

`SnapshotCommitLock` stays exposed on purpose: it is a `SemaphoreSlim`
sequencing an async commit across `await` points, which
`System.Threading.Lock` cannot span, so folding it in would change
behaviour rather than hide a lock.
## Verification

Merged `master` (`0edfe237a`, including #4234) with no conflicts.

- `dotnet build UA.slnx` — 0 warnings, 0 errors
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` — 4074 passed
- `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` — 8501 passed
- `Opc.Ua.MigrationAnalyzer.Tests` — 151 passed on all five TFMs (138 →
151, the new ones being UA0027 and UA0028)
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` — 4249 passed
- `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` — 573 passed

## Note for the reviewer

@romanett — your approval was given when this PR's diff was the 7
diagnostics files, because it was measured against
`marcschier/node-browse-locks`. Now that the two are combined and the
base is `master`, the diff is 23 files, and the extra 16 are the
node/browser lock work that was #4221. GitHub kept the approval across
the retarget, but it did not cover that code, so please re-review rather
than let it ride.

Marc Schier 466c5cb982 Robot intent follow-ups: multi-controller executors, spec fixes, and an MCP tool library (#4195)
Follow-ups to #4165, plus the work that followed from re-checking this
branch against the specification. Everything started as a defect found
by review or by probing the running code; the specification is unchanged
except where noted.

The TLS certificate lifetime fix (#4196) and the OpenUSD work (#4198)
were both merged into this branch. #4196 has since landed on master, so
it no longer appears in this diff. #4198 was closed in favour of this PR
and its content is here.

The MCP trim/AOT work (#4228), the `DataGenerator` null `NodeId` fix
(#4227) and the NodeSet external-parent import fix (#4229) have since
been merged in as well. All three are closed in favour of this PR and
their content is here, described under *Making the MCP libraries trim
and AOT clean*, *A generator that returned the value you opted out of*
and *A NodeSet parent that lived outside the import batch* below.

## A two-arm cell could not be built

`IntentExecution` carried no controller identity, and there was
effectively one `IIntentExecutor` per server. An executor handed an
execution therefore could not tell **which arm** it was for, so a cell
with two `IntentControllerType` instances — an ordinary configuration —
was not expressible through the builder or DI.

Both halves are addressed:

- `IntentExecution` now carries `ControllerId` (`NodeId`, the OPC UA
identity) and `ControllerName`, so one shared executor can discriminate;
- DI gained per-controller registration —
`AddRobotIntentExecutor<TExecutor>(controllerBrowseName)` and an
instance overload — so two genuinely different executors can coexist.

Resolution order is `WithExecutor` → per-controller DI registration →
the single DI executor → a build-time throw. There is still **no silent
fallback** to a rejecting executor; that was a Critical defect fixed in
#4165 and it stays fixed. `IIntentExecutor` is unchanged, so this is
purely additive.

## Declarations that were quietly untrue

- **`Accepts<T>` silently discarded a redeclaration.** Declaring an
intent type twice — say to narrow `cancelSupported` on the second call —
kept the first, wider declaration and said nothing. That is the same
class of defect as the capability-honesty problems #4165 fixed
(`PauseSupported` declaring a pause the host could not perform;
`Aborting` degrading silently to `Buffered`). Identical redeclarations
remain idempotent; conflicting ones now throw `BadInvalidArgument`.
- **`RI-Interop-40010` assumed Annex B item 3 rather than checking it.**
It now requires exact set equality between the OPC 40010
`TaskProgramName` values and the Robot Intent `ProgramType.ProgramId`
values. Both sides are readable from the address space without
commanding the robot, which is what makes the requirement structural
under §12.1.

## Two things the specification requires that this did not do

Re-checking the implementation against the merged draft revision turned
up two genuine violations. Both are fixed, and the NodeSet is untouched
by either.

- **Every graphed mission reported `Failed` on success.**
`MissionRules.SelectTransition` returned `null` for two different
situations — a graph *terminus*, which is the normal success path, and a
branch point whose conditions all evaluated false — and the caller
collapsed both into `Failed`/`NoTransition`. A three-way result
(`Terminus` / `Selected` / `NoConditionMatched`) separates them, so a
mission that runs to its end now completes. The failure reason surfaces
through the inherited Part 10 result container rather than a new member.
- **Facet URIs were never published.** An upstream `may` became a
`shall` in the revision this branch adopts.
`RobotIntentConformanceUris.Facets` held 31 URIs with **zero**
production references — the set existed but nothing emitted it. The
published set is now derived from `RobotIntentFacetCalculator`, the same
authority that already computed `SupportedFacets`, rather than from a
second hand-maintained list that could drift; a reflection test pins the
two together.

## An easy client mistake

`RequestAuthorityAsync` returns a lease the caller must remember to
inspect. Forgetting makes every later submission fail with
`ControlNotOwned` for reasons that are invisible at the call site.
`RequireAuthorityAsync` throws instead, and names the current owner.
`RequestAuthorityAsync` is untouched — inspecting and branching is
legitimate.

## Letting an agent drive the robot

New `tools/Opc.Ua.Mcp.Robotics` gives a language model the intent API as
MCP tools: 36 across discovery, monitoring, direct control and missions,
behind a `Robotics` tool profile, composable into any MCP host exactly
as the existing OPC UA tool packages are. The `IntentViewerClient`
sample hosts them behind `--mcp` (stdio by default, HTTP when `--view`,
since MCP stdio and the in-process viewer would otherwise share stdout),
and the sample gained a pallet scene so an agent can pick and stack
parts and watch the result in the OpenUSD viewer. All the scene logic is
server-side — no viewer or connector changes.

Four gaps in the client API had to be filled first, since the tools are
a thin layer over it and could not have been written honestly without
them: `ReadStateAsync`, `ListOperationsAsync`/`ListMissionsAsync`,
controller-level
`CancelIntent`/`CancelAll`/`Pause`/`Resume`/`Retry`/`ReleaseControl`,
and `WaitForCompletionAsync`.

The tools refuse rather than paper over: a refusal from the server is
returned with its `IntentFailureEnum` and never retried, and command
authority is never acquired as a side effect of a tool call.

**One defect this surfaced:** `--profile robotics` shipped 36 tools that
could not do anything. Every robotics tool resolves a named OPC UA
session and only the connection tools can open one, so with no `Connect`
in the catalogue the whole profile failed. A test had pinned the defect
in place, asserting the profile did *not* contain `Connect` on the line
below the `diagnostics` assertion requiring it. Each package now
declares its own requirement in its registration extension rather than
the host special-casing it, so an application embedding
`Opc.Ua.Mcp.Robotics` directly gets a usable catalogue without
reproducing the host's pairing. `Full` still takes the connection tools
from the core package, so they are never registered twice. The
replacement test states the invariant — a profile exposing
session-scoped tools must expose the tools that open a session — rather
than the instance.

## Making the MCP libraries trim and AOT clean

*Merged from #4228.*

`Opc.Ua.Mcp.Core` is now `IsAotCompatible` on `net10.0`, and the
reflection the analysers then reported is gone. Turning the analysers on
is the point: until now they were not running on these libraries at all
— including on the tool library this branch adds.

- **`OpcUaJsonHelper.Serialize`** went through `JsonSerializer` (IL2026
/ IL3050). The conversion helpers in that class already reduce every OPC
UA value to a closed set — `null`, the primitive scalars, `string`,
`Dictionary<string, object?>` and lists thereof — so the JSON is now
written directly with a `Utf8JsonWriter`.

Output is unchanged, and that is asserted rather than assumed:
`OpcUaJsonHelperTests.SerializeMatchesTheReflectionBasedSerializer`
compares the new writer byte for byte against `JsonSerializer` for every
shape the helpers emit, including all numeric widths, the
custom-formatted scalars, nested sequences and strings that force the
encoder to escape.

One deliberate contract change: arbitrary object graphs are no longer
accepted. Serializing them needs reflection, so `Serialize` now throws
`NotSupportedException` naming the type instead of silently stringifying
it. No call site in the repository passes anything outside the closed
set.

- **`McpSchemaFilters`** used `JsonSerializer.SerializeToElement` on a
`JsonObject`; it now parses the node's own text, which needs no
reflection.

`Opc.Ua.Mcp.Diagnostics` is deliberately **not** marked. It depends on
SharpPcap and on the reflective service-call dissection in
`Opc.Ua.Core.Diagnostics`, neither of which is trim safe — which is why
that package does not opt in either. Two improvements are kept
regardless: `PacketDecodeTools` serializes `DecodedServiceCall` through
a source-generated `JsonSerializerContext`, and
`PacketCaptureTools.ListInterfaces` now carries the
`RequiresUnreferencedCode` / `RequiresDynamicCode` annotations that
`NetworkInterfaceEnumerator.ListLocalInterfaces` already declares, so
the constraint is visible to callers instead of implicit. Nothing is
suppressed.

Marking an assembly `IsAotCompatible` only proves its own IL is clean;
it says nothing about whether the library still functions once
reflection is gone. So `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` references `Opc.Ua.Mcp.Core`
and exercises it with JSON reflection disabled, stating what is and is
not true today:

- tool **results** serialize without reflection — this would fail
outright if the `Utf8JsonWriter` change regressed;
- tool **registration** still requires reflection, because the MCP SDK
builds each tool's input schema by asking `JsonSchemaExporter` for a
`JsonTypeInfo` of every parameter type. Without a source-generated
context covering the tool signatures — and with the injected
`OpcUaSessionManager` being described rather than treated as a service —
that throws `NotSupportedException`.

The second test asserts the throw. It documents the remaining gap and
turns red the moment someone closes it, rather than leaving it to be
found in a published binary. The package README says the same thing in
prose.

**Two pre-existing issues this surfaced, both outside this PR:** pulling
`Opc.Ua.Mcp.Diagnostics` into an AOT publish reports `IL2046` / `IL3051`
on `NicCaptureSource.StartAsync`, which is annotated
`RequiresUnreferencedCode` / `RequiresDynamicCode` while the
`ICaptureSource.StartAsync` it implements is not, and `IL2075` on
`ServiceCallReassembler.GetCollectionCount` / `GetPropertyString`, which
call `Type.GetProperty` on the result of `GetType()`. Happy to file
these separately if useful.

## A generator that returned the value you opted out of

*Merged from #4227. Fixes #4226.*

`GetRandomNodeId(useBoundaryValues: false)` could still return
`NodeId.Null` — one of the boundary values the same method offers when
boundary values *are* requested. A caller that opted out should not
receive one, and `GetRandomExpandedNodeId` builds on it and inherited
the same behaviour.

The `IdType.Opaque` branch is the practical path:
`GetRandomByteString()` draws its length with
`NextInt32(MaxStringLength)`, which is inclusive of zero, and a
zero-length opaque identifier in namespace 0 satisfies `NodeId.IsNull`.
With three namespaces and `MaxStringLength` at 10 that is roughly **one
call in 130**. A numeric identifier of `0` in namespace 0 is null too,
at around one in four billion.

The draw is now repeated while the result is null and boundary values
were not requested. Guarding the result rather than the individual
branches covers every identifier type, including the numeric case,
rather than only the one that happens to be reachable today. The
`useBoundaryValues: true` path is untouched, so boundary values remain
available when they are asked for.

Four tests in `tests/Opc.Ua.Core.Tests/Types/DataGeneratorTests.cs` loop
20,000 draws, because at one call in 130 a single draw proves nothing.
Against the **unmodified** generator they fail on draw 93 and draw 1346.
Two of the four exist to keep the fix honest rather than to test the
bug: `GetRandomNodeIdStillProducesEveryIdentifierType` catches a "fix"
that simply stopped emitting opaque identifiers, which would satisfy the
null assertions while silently narrowing the generator, and
`GetRandomNodeIdWithBoundaryValuesStillYieldsThem` confirms the leak was
closed rather than the feature removed.

**How it was found:** an intermittent downstream test failure. A test
server initialising a static `NodeId`-valued variable via
`TestDataSystem.ReadValue` occasionally stored `NodeId.Null`; the
encoder correctly writes that as JSON `null`, and a consumer asserting a
value was present failed about one run in five — never reproducibly in
isolation. It only surfaced under load because `UnsecureRandom.Shared`
is a fixed-seed, process-global generator shared between `DataGenerator`
and OPC UA transport jitter, so the number of draws preceding
address-space initialisation depends on what else is running in the
process.

## A NodeSet parent that lived outside the import batch

*Merged from #4229.*

`UANodeSetHelpers.LinkParentChildRelationships` builds its lookup table
from **only the nodes in the current import batch**, links a child when
the parent is found — and then cleared `instance.Handle`
**unconditionally**, which is exactly where `Import` had stashed the
authored `ParentNodeId`. A node whose parent lives in another NodeSet,
or is owned by another NodeManager, therefore lost that parent
**silently** at import, and nothing downstream could recover it.
`RuntimeNodeSetNodeManager.CreateAddressSpaceAsync` already has a step
that wires references to external node managers; the parent link never
reached it.

Such a parent is now recorded rather than discarded, and exposed through
`UANodeSet.TryGetUnresolvedParentNodeId`. A parent that resolved
normally inside the batch is **not** recorded, so a caller does not
re-wire references that already exist. The record lives in a
`ConditionalWeakTable`, so it does not keep an imported node alive and
does not widen `NodeState` — whose `Handle` is a general-purpose slot a
caller may legitimately use for its own purposes, and so is not a safe
place to leave the value.

`RuntimeNodeSetNodeManager` consumes it to report the one case that
cannot be repaired automatically. In NodeSet2 the `ParentNodeId`
attribute is a *hint*; the authoritative edge is the entry under
`<References>`, which the reverse-reference pass already turns into an
external reference. A node that names an out-of-manager parent but
carries **no such Reference** materializes with no path from that
parent, and no ReferenceType can be inferred to synthesise one — so it
is reported as an authoring defect rather than guessed at or silently
accepted.

This is deliberately **not** a fix for a specific address-space symptom.
It removes a silent loss of authored information and gives callers the
means to act on it. Whether any particular orphaned-node report is
caused by this path, or by namespace-index translation elsewhere, still
needs separate diagnosis.

**Changed while merging.** As authored in #4229 the accessor was
`GetUnresolvedParentNodeId`, returning `NodeId?`. `NodeId` is a readonly
struct implementing `INullable`, so that was a `System.Nullable<NodeId>`
wrapped around a type that already carries its own null representation —
which this repository excludes in favour of an `IsNull` check, and it
asks for `TryGet` over casting on struct types. The tests
correspondingly asserted `Is.Null` against a struct, which the testing
rules also exclude. It is now `bool
TryGetUnresolvedParentNodeId(NodeState, out NodeId)`, yielding
`NodeId.Null` when there is no unresolved parent. The API is unshipped —
it arrives with this branch — so nothing depended on the previous shape.
Both tests were re-verified by mutation after the rewrite: disabling the
record in `LinkParentChildRelationships` still fails
`ImportKeepsAParentThatIsNotInTheSameBatch`.

## Dependencies

- **OpenUSD to `0.7.0-alpha`.** All 11 issues we filed upstream are
fixed, so the workarounds they justified are gone and the parts of the
pump and generator samples that were blocked on them are implemented.
- **ModelContextProtocol to `2.1.0`** across all five MCP tool libraries
and the executable. No code changes were needed — the surface we use is
unchanged in 2.x — but central package management required a cascade of
pins, each commented where it sits. Both transports were verified
against a running server rather than assumed. MCP 2.x is stateless (no
`initialize`, no `Mcp-Session-Id`); an OPC UA session is application
state addressed by a caller-supplied name, which fits that model but
does assume process affinity, and that assumption is now written down
rather than implied.

## Infrastructure

The `code coverage` gate was measuring nothing on this branch and
reporting success. It is fixed and now enforced, which immediately
exposed real gaps — most usefully `RoboticsIntentJson`, which parses
agent-supplied JSON (untrusted input from a language model) and had no
tests at all. It is now at full line coverage in CI. Patch coverage is
**90.20%** against a 75% floor.

The `netstandard2.1` build leg was also failing. The MCP projects build
as empty shells under a legacy `CustomTestTarget`, and the viewer sample
referenced them on the target framework alone, so it tried to resolve a
net10.0 shell from net8.0. The sample now derives MCP support from
whether those projects are actually being built.

## From review

A review pass over the branch found two real defects, both fixed.
`RoboticsIntentJson` parses JSON written by a language model, so every
malformed shape it can be handed is reachable input; it indexed pose
arrays without checking their length and enumerated properties without
checking their kind, so a short or wrongly-typed array escaped as
`IndexOutOfRangeException` or `InvalidOperationException` rather than
the argument error the tool descriptions promise the agent. Separately,
`IntentOperationHandle` treated a zero `QueuePosition` as "not observed"
and discarded it, so a handle kept reporting the last queued position
after the server had said the operation left the queue.

The pose validation immediately caught a latent test defect: the pallet
scenario interpolated doubles into JSON with the current culture, so
under a comma-decimal culture `[0.12, 0.16, 0.28]` became a six-element
array. It passed only because that submission is expected to be refused
for want of authority, so the wrong coordinates were never used.

A third review finding — that a default-constructed
`RobotIntentControllerState` hands out a null `NodeId` — was checked and
rejected: `NodeId`, `QualifiedName` and `LocalizedText` are readonly
structs here, so `default` is the null value and `IsNull` is `true`. The
tests asserting that invariant are kept.

A second review pass over the merged branch found two more, both fixed
and both about an error surfacing as the wrong kind of failure rather
than about a wrong result:

- **Malformed agent JSON did not arrive as an argument error.**
`RoboticsIntentJson` turns every *validation* failure into an
`ArgumentException` — a wrong root kind, a missing property, a short
pose array — but three `JsonDocument.Parse` calls and the NodeId parse
were unguarded. A syntax error escaped as `JsonException` and an
unparseable NodeId as `ServiceResultException`, which are the two shapes
a language model is most likely to produce. That is the same defect
class as the pose/kind checking above: a caller separating bad input
from a genuine fault had to know to catch three unrelated exception
types. Parsing now goes through one helper that reports a syntax error
as an `ArgumentException` naming the argument, keeping the
`JsonException` as the inner exception so the position is not lost, and
the NodeId goes through `NodeId.TryParse` rather than `Parse`,
collapsing its two failure modes into one.
`MalformedIntentJsonIsRejected` had asserted
`InstanceOf<JsonException>`, pinning the behaviour rather than the
intended contract; it now asserts `ArgumentException` like every
neighbouring test, and three tests cover the newly guarded paths.
- **`ConditionalWeakTable.Add` throws on a duplicate key.** Not
reachable today, but `TryGetUnresolvedParentNodeId` documents `Handle`
as a general-purpose slot a caller may use for its own purposes — and a
caller doing exactly that before re-importing into the same collection
would take a hard throw from inside the import pipeline. Removing first
makes the most recent import win. `AddOrUpdate` would say this more
directly but does not exist on `netstandard2.0`.

## Deliberately not fixed here

`FastenIntentDataType.Joint` is refused when the Server exposes no OPC
40450/40451 model, and a client cannot discover that before calling.
That is **not fixable in this repository**: §5.4.2 makes `Joint` the
defining mechanism while §11.3 says the parameters otherwise stand
alone, and `IntentCapabilityDataType` declares capabilities at
intent-type granularity with no member-level mechanism anywhere in the
model. It is a specification gap, raised as S4 on
[marcschier/opcua-drafts#60](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/pull/60)
rather than worked around with a bespoke mechanism the spec does not
define.

## Validation

`dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release` on the merged branch — **0 errors, 0
warnings**, with the AOT analysers now running over `Opc.Ua.Mcp.Core`.

| Suite (net10.0) | Tests |
|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` | 4247 (86 skipped) |
| `Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests` | 540 |
| `Opc.Ua.OpenUsd.Tests` | 909 |
| `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` | 419 |
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` — `RuntimeNodeSet` | 94 |
| `Opc.Ua.Robotics.Intent.Tests` | 22 |
| `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` — `McpAotTests` | 3 |

0 failures. `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` rose from 409 to 419 with the
serializer-equivalence tests from #4228 and the malformed-JSON tests
from the second review pass, and `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` covers the
`DataGenerator` tests from #4227 and the import tests from #4229.
`UANodeSetHelpers` also passes on **net48** (5/5). The MCP
agent-usability grader scores Core 100 / Full 100.

Marc Schier e05a820c91 Removal of the exposed diagnostics and node locks (#4188)
## What this is

Design analysis for `Opc.Ua.Server`, the two rounds of design
exploration behind it, and the first two implementation chunks it
recommends.

Draft: the analyses are ready to read, but the *conclusions* deserve
discussion before the larger phases proceed. Later chunks stack onto
this PR as they land.

| File | Kind | Lines |
|---|---|---:|
| `plans/NodeManagerAnalysis.md` | Evidence — the node-manager plugin
surface | 488 |
| `plans/ServerRuntimeAnalysis.md` | Evidence — the server runtime
cluster | 576 |
| `plans/ServerDesignExploration.md` | Design round 2 — delivery
strategy | 1,394 |
| `plans/ServerDesignExplorationAlt.md` | Design round 1 — four
interface designs | 2,119 |
| `src/Opc.Ua.Types/State/NodeState.cs` | **Code** — node self-guards
attributes | |
| `src/Opc.Ua.Types/State/BaseVariableState.cs` | **Code** — value
accessors take the lock | |
| `src/Opc.Ua.Server/NodeManager/AsyncCustomNodeManager.cs` | **Code** —
6 external locks removed | |
| `tests/…/NodeStateAttributeConcurrencyTests.cs` | **Code** —
concurrency safety net | 449 |

`docs/` is untouched — it holds shipped feature documentation, and none
of this is shipped API.

## The analyses

Counted mechanically over `src`, `samples` and `tests`; **every figure
is reproducible** from commands printed in each document.

**Node manager surface.** `AsyncCustomNodeManager` declares **93
`virtual`/`abstract` members** (80 distinct names). Across the
repository: **112 override sites, 25 distinct names ever overridden, 55
of 80 never**. Six carry nearly all real use. For scale,
`ReferenceNodeManager` is 6,373 lines and overrides **8**.

**Server runtime.** Seven findings, **two of which recommend no
change**. Findings 1–5 are filed as #4183–#4187. The headline is an
`object`-typed sync root published on three public interfaces and taken
in **88 `lock` statements across 7 files**, including a shipped sample.

**What is deliberately not flagged.** `IStandardServer` — 9 members over
5,575 lines, 16 of 37 virtuals used — is identified as the reference
shape to preserve. `IApplicationInstance` and the already-`[Obsolete]`
`Stop()` are examined and left alone.

## The design exploration

**Round 1** explored four alternative interfaces in parallel under the
current back-compat constraint. Its value is the convergence: four
designers who never saw each other's work independently arrived at a 6–9
member `IServerContext` replacing the 57-member locator, removal of the
`object` node-manager handle, elimination of the `Processed` protocol,
and `IHistorianProvider` as the pattern to copy.

**Round 2** re-runs it with back-compat lifted and asks how to deliver:
full rewrite versus side-by-side fork. **Both option designers
independently declined to recommend their own assignment.** Three
structural facts were verified:

1. **The fork line already sits at `IAsyncNodeManager`** — old and new
node managers can coexist with zero runtime changes, so a fork
duplicates ~10% of the assembly, not all of it.
2. **`[OpcUaShim]` cannot shim an inheritance surface** — honest
auto-fix ceiling for the authoring surface is **~10%**, against ~70% for
the shipped analyzers.
3. **A second lock leak exists** — `NodeState` takes `lock (this)` under
a `CA2002` suppression whose own comment documents the contract.

Recommendation: **neither pure option**, but a staged path reaching the
rewrite end state incrementally, gated on migrating the five
framework-internal node managers that today make it impossible for the
old base to ever freeze.

## Implementation: NodeState now guards its own attributes

This removes the prose-only contract in which `NodeState` took
`lock(this)` and every external caller was required to take
`lock(source)` on the node instance. The code already carried a TODO
describing exactly this fix and noting it required updating every
external site.

- The node self-guards rather than relying on callers.
`BaseVariableState` gains a **fully private** `System.Threading.Lock`
covering its value fields; `NodeState`'s other collections keep their
existing private locks.
- All **6** `lock(this)` sites and both `CA2002`/`RCS1059` suppressions
are gone.
- `Value`, `Timestamp` and `StatusCode` on `BaseVariableState` take the
lock too — without that, a direct property write raced an attribute read
once the external lock was gone.
- **6 of 9** external sites removed. Five were already redundant
(`GetReferences`, `GetChildren`, `ReferenceExists` and
`SetAreEventsMonitored` guard themselves; `FindMethod` reaches its state
via `GetChildren`); the sixth was an attribute read now covered by the
node's own lock.
- Attribute read/write deliberately take **no** node-wide lock: both
dispatch to caller-supplied handlers (`OnReadValue` and siblings) that
may take locks of their own, and holding a lock on the node across one
gives the node no fixed place in the lock order.
- **3 deliberately retained and annotated in code**: two `CreateBrowser`
calls, which are not internally synchronized (tracked in #4216), and one
in `CustomNodeManager`, whose class is slated for deletion so
refactoring its lock would be wasted work.

### No lock is exposed anywhere, to anyone

An earlier revision put the attribute lock on `NodeState` as `private
protected`, which still published a lock-sharing contract on the
inheritance surface. Review pushed back and it is gone:
`BaseVariableState` was the only user, so the lock moved there as a
plain `private readonly Lock`. There is no member for a derived type to
call, in this assembly or any other.

`BaseVariableValue` was the last public leak — it handed out the lock
guarding its value through a `public Lock` property, so any caller could
hold it across a call back into the stack. That property is removed:

- Derived value classes (what the source generator emits for every
structure variable) synchronize through a `protected EnterLock()` /
`ExitLock()` pair. Callback helpers were the first choice, but the
generated bodies pass `ref Variant` / `ref StatusCode` / `ref
DateTimeUtc`, and `ref` arguments cannot be captured by a lambda. The
lock *object* stays private either way.
- `NodeStateTemplates` emits the new form.
- `ServerInternalData`, the one cross-assembly caller, was reading the
lock back off a value it had itself constructed with that lock. It now
takes `m_diagnosticsLock` directly.

`NodeBrowser.DataLock` remains `protected` and is tracked in #4215: a
subclass extending `Next()` legitimately needs its enumeration state
atomic with the base browser's, so the fix needs a base-owned
acquisition rather than a deletion.

### Migration coverage for the removed lock members

None of the removed lock members get an `[Obsolete]` shim, and the
migration guide now says why: a shim would have to be `object`-typed to
keep old call sites compiling, and on .NET 9+ `lock (o)` on a
statically-`object` reference is `Monitor.Enter`, which does **not**
interlock with `Lock.Enter()`. It would compile, run, and silently
synchronize nothing — strictly worse than a compile error. Re-adding a
member to a downstream-implemented interface is also a break in its own
right on `net48` / `netstandard2.0`, where there are no default
interface methods.

Instead, every removed member has a named replacement on the migration
path:

| Rule | Covers | Replacement it names |
|---|---|---|
| `UA0024` | `IServerInternal` / `ISession` / `ISubscription`
`DiagnosticsLock`, `DiagnosticsWriteLock` |
`UpdateServerDiagnostics(...)` / `UpdateDiagnostics(...)`,
`ReadServerDiagnostics` / `ReadDiagnostics` |
| `UA0025` | `ILocalNode.DataLock`, `Node.DataLock` | a lock the caller
owns; the node guards its own state |
| `UA0026` | `BaseVariableValue.Lock` | a lock passed to the
`BaseVariableValue` constructor |

Each rule fires on sources still written against 1.5.378, where the
compiler only says a member is missing. `docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains a
section per removal with before/after.

### The tests earned their keep

The four concurrency tests were landed **first**, against the unmodified
code, because removing a synchronization contract cannot be verified by
the compiler and the existing `NodeStateHandlerConcurrencyTests` covers
a different concern (racing a handler assignment against a write, not
reader/writer exclusion). They now run with **no external locking**,
which is what demonstrates the node guards itself.

They caught two real problems, and one of them was mine:

- The `Value`/`StatusCode`/`Timestamp` setters bypassed the new lock — a
genuine race.
- One test asserted an invariant the design does not offer. Two property
setters are two lock acquisitions, so that pair was **never** atomic; it
only passed originally because the test held a lock across both. It now
uses a single attribute write carrying a whole `DataValue`, which
genuinely is atomic and is the path the server uses.

A third issue was found and fixed before it shipped: the reader loops
gated on `!writer.IsCompleted`, so a reader scheduled after the writer
finished performed zero reads — failing two runs in three on `net48`.
Converted to `do…while`; now five consecutive green runs.

**Verified:** `Stack.State` 116 passed on `net10.0` *and* `net48`; the
concurrency category green 5/5 consecutive on `net48`;
`Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` 8,456 passed; the server node-manager suite 1,205
passed, including `NodeManagerLifecycleTests` and
`AsyncCustomNodeManagerTests` which exercise the changed paths.

## Two corrections to my own published figures

Both were found while starting implementation, and both are recorded on
#4183.

**`ForceDiagnosticsScan()` was overstated.** The analysis claimed the
`DiagnosticsWriteLock` getter *"triggers a full address-space
diagnostics rescan"*. It is in fact a single flag assignment
(`DiagnosticsNodeManager.cs:700-703`) consumed by the read paths and the
periodic timer. The defect stands — a side-effecting property getter
with a racy write on a synchronisation path — but its cost was
misstated.

**The contract was 15 sites, not 19.** A naive search matched ten
comment and `#pragma` lines that *mention* `lock(source)` while
explaining it. The documents now carry a counting command that excludes
comment matches.

A third finding expanded scope the other way: the `object`-typed lock
leak is **repo-wide**, with ten such members across `Opc.Ua.Core`,
`Opc.Ua.Types` and `Opc.Ua.Server` — including `Node.DataLock => this`
and `ApplicationConfiguration.PropertiesLock => m_properties`, the same
defect class as `Subscription.DiagnosticsLock`.

## Caveats stated in the documents

- **Nothing in the designs is implemented or benchmarked.** Every
performance claim across all seven designs is a design intention, not a
measurement.
- The larger phases are a **major undertaking against a live plugin
API**; the documents say so rather than letting the neatness of the
proposals imply otherwise.
- The recommended sequencing puts low-risk, self-contained steps first
and notes they are **worth doing regardless** of which strategy is
eventually chosen.
- Round 2 notes the two option designers' cost estimates are **not
independent of their assignments**.

## Review guidance

The two analyses make factual claims checkable by running the included
commands. The design explorations are exploratory and need not be agreed
with to merge. The code change is small, test-backed, and independent of
which delivery strategy is eventually chosen.

Reasonable outcomes include merging as-is, merging only the analyses and
the lock fix, or disagreeing with the recommendation while keeping the
evidence.

Marc Schier 416d619c41 Split the CI matrix across both systems, split the required test gate from the advisory coverage check, and give background work an owner (#4158)
# Description

Two changes to how CI is routed and how it reports.

## 1. Split the CI matrix back across both systems

Flips both halves of the CI backend switch from `ado` to `actions`, so
the workload is shared instead of concentrated on the managed pool. The
switch is checked into source in **two places that must always be
flipped together**:

| File | Setting | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `azure-pipelines.yml` | `parameters.ciBuildBackend` | `ado` |
`actions` |
| `.github/workflows/buildandtest.yml` | `env.CI_BUILD_BACKEND` | `ado`
| `actions` |

| Work | GitHub Actions | Azure Pipelines (managed pool) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| All-TFM solution builds | `build-all-tfm-windows` + `-linux` | two-TFM
PR gate (`net10.0`, `net48`) |
| Test matrix | ubuntu, every test project | Windows `net48` + `net10.0`
fast PR legs |
| Native AoT | ubuntu | Schedule/Manual only |
| macOS | always (no managed-pool macOS image) | — |

## 2. Split the required gate from the advisory coverage check

The coverage gate job was appended to *every* test stage, so `Fast PR
test` emitted three sibling checks whose display names collided —
`Coverage Release (net10.0)` appeared twice, once for the Windows leg
and once for macOS, with nothing to tell them apart:

```text
✓ Coverage Release (net48)      55s
● Coverage Release (net10.0)
○ Coverage Release (net10.0)
```

That job also fused two unrelated concerns: whether the tests passed
(which must block a merge) and whether coverage met its thresholds
(which should not — the `net10.0` leg had `enforceCoverage: true`, so a
coverage dip blocked merges).

Both concerns now get a stage of their own, mirrored in both CI systems:

| Concern | Azure Pipelines | GitHub Actions | In the branch ruleset? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Every test passed | **`Tests passed`** stage | **`build-and-test
summary`** job | **Yes — required** |
| Coverage meets thresholds | **`Code coverage`** stage | **`code
coverage`** job | **No — advisory** |

The coverage check reports a clean failure when the thresholds are
missed, so the miss is visible, but it never blocks the merge.

Coverage is now merged **once** across every leg of the run instead of
once per leg, which also removes the `enforceCoverage` /
`publishCoverage` "exactly one invocation may set this" parameters.
Neither check re-runs any tests — the previous design re-ran the whole
suite in one job with the collector attached, which serialised a suite
that is deliberately fanned out and always exceeded the stage timeout.

### Coverage checks now exist in GitHub Actions

`build-and-test` already ran with `--collect:"XPlat Code Coverage"` and
uploaded the fragments, but nothing ever merged or evaluated them. It
now runs the same `check-coverage.ps1` against the same
`coverage-thresholds.json` as Azure. Since `CI_BUILD_BACKEND` defaults
to `actions`, that ubuntu matrix — which runs *every* test project — is
the fullest coverage signal in the repository.

### Reporting the numbers

`check-coverage.ps1` gained `-SummaryPath`, rendering a markdown report
that both systems surface:

- **GitHub Actions** — appended to the job summary and upserted as a
single **sticky pull-request comment**, updated in place on each run.
Threshold misses also appear as `::error::` annotations.
- **Azure Pipelines** — attached to the build summary via
`##vso[task.uploadsummary]`.

The report is a pass/fail table of the project floor, patch coverage and
baseline delta, with the uncovered changed lines listed by file in a
collapsible block. Rendered example:

> ## Code coverage
>
> ❌ **Coverage gate failed.** This check is advisory and does not
block the merge.
>
> | Check | Result | Threshold |
> | --- | --- | --- |
> | ✅ Project line rate | **72.10%** (40 731/56 496
lines) | >= 70.00% |
> | ❌ Patch coverage | **0.00%** (0/1 changed lines) | >= 75.00% |

The comment is fork-safe: a `pull_request` from a fork gets a read-only
token regardless of the `permissions:` block, so it degrades to the job
summary alone. The sticky comment uses `actions/github-script` rather
than a community action, keeping this workflow on first-party actions
only.

## Notable correctness details

These were found and fixed during review, and are the parts most worth a
second pair of eyes:

- **`dependencies.<stage>.result` resolves at *stage* scope only.** At
job scope `dependencies` refers to other jobs of the same stage, so
reading stage results from a jobs template would have silently returned
empty and the gate would have passed everything. `gate.yml` and
`coverage.yml` are therefore **stage** templates that derive their own
`dependsOn` from the same stage list they evaluate, so the two can never
drift apart. An unresolved result is a hard error.
- **Both rollups run on `not(canceled())` / `always()`**, not on
success. A check that reports **skipped** is treated by GitHub as
**satisfied**, so a required check that skips when its dependency fails
would wave a red build straight through.
- **`get-matrix.ps1` used to emit an empty matrix on a discovery miss.**
The downstream job is then skipped, a skipped job rolls up as a
*succeeded* stage, and the gate would have approved a run that executed
no tests. It now fails, with an `-AllowEmpty` opt-out.
- **Zero coverage reports used to be a green advisory check**, which
would hide a broken collector indefinitely. Both systems now distinguish
"the tests never ran" (warning) from "the tests ran and published
nothing" (error).
- The gate reads stage-level results rather than enumerating
matrix-generated job names, which change whenever a test project or
agent is added.

## Test-host hang and the reconnect defect behind it — both fixed

Flipping `CI_BUILD_BACKEND` to `actions` started exercising the ubuntu
matrix, which
`master` never runs, and it immediately surfaced two real defects.

**1. The test host hung for ten minutes.** `Assert.ThrowsAsync` blocks
the calling thread
with no timeout, and these tests drive a *fake clock* from that same
thread — so once the
reconnect parked on a fake-clock timer, nothing could ever advance it.
NUnit sat in
`WaitForCompletion` until `--blame-hang-timeout` killed the host,
aborting the run at 3902
of 4238 tests and taking every other test in the assembly down with it.
A hang dump named
the culprit exactly. Replaced with an awaited, bounded
`AssertThrowsAsync` helper (the
repo's own rules forbid sync over async). The run now completes in
**~1m29s** with all
tests executed.

**2. A budget-aware reconnect never returned.** With the hang gone, two
tests failed with
`Expected ServiceResultException but got TimeoutException`. `dumpasync`
on a hang dump gave
the whole chain:

```
ReconnectAsyncWithBudgetShrinksDelayToFitRemainingAsync
  → AssertThrowsAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.ReconnectAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.ReconnectLeaseAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.SwapFaultedEntryAsync   ← parked here
```

`master` (via #4128) added `IsTerminalReconnectRace` so a reconnect that
loses a race
against a concurrent close recovers on a freshly swapped entry. The
predicate only asks
whether the entry ended up `Closed`/`Faulted` with
`BadSecureChannelClosed` — which is
*also* exactly how a reconnect ends when the caller's retry budget or
the reconnect policy
is deliberately exhausted. So a budget-exhausted reconnect was misread
as a race: the
manager swapped the entry and started a **second, unbudgeted** cycle,
waiting out the swap
back-off first. `ReconnectAsync(channel, budget)` therefore could not
return within its
budget, and under a fake clock it never returned at all.

The fix requires the budget to have room left before treating a terminal
failure as a race:

```csharp
return !ct.IsCancellationRequested &&
    !budget.IsExhausted &&
    sre.StatusCode == StatusCodes.BadSecureChannelClosed &&
    entry.State is ChannelState.Closed or ChannelState.Faulted;
```

The parameterless `ReconnectAsync(channel, ct)` overload passes an
unlimited budget, so
genuine race recovery is unchanged. Verified locally: Core 4152, Client
2122 and Sessions
776 tests all pass, and the full GitHub Actions PR run is green across
56 jobs.

Two smaller fixes came along the way, neither weakening an assertion:

- `ObservableFakeTimeProvider` waiters made **relative** ("N more timers
from now") rather
than absolute ("the Nth timer of the run"). Absolute numbering let an
earlier reconnect
consume the slots, so a waiter completed before the awaited timer
existed and `Advance()`
  fired nothing.
- The raw worker thread in `NodeStateHandlerConcurrencyTests` was a
**foreground** thread
whose stop flag was read without a barrier and set only on the success
path — a failed
assertion leaked a spinning thread that pins the process at exit. Now
background,
  `Volatile`, stopped in a `finally`, joined with a bound.
## Background work now has an owner

The reconnect hang above was one symptom of a pattern the codebase had
**26 times** across seven assemblies: a bare `_ = Task.Run(...)`. Each
one handed work to the thread pool and forgot it — nothing observed the
exception if it threw, nothing bounded how many ran at once, and
disposal raced them, so a component could finish tearing itself down
while work it started was still touching its fields. Two of those sites
already carried a standing `// TODO: Await the task completion in
shutdown`.

`BackgroundTaskScope` (in `Opc.Ua.Types`) gives them an owner: schedule
with `Run`, drain with `DisposeAsync`, or signal-only with `Dispose`
where the owner's teardown is synchronous and awaiting would be sync
over async. `Run` never blocks and never throws — which matters, because
most of these call sites went to the thread pool precisely to escape a
lock they were holding. 11 unit tests cover drain, cancellation,
exception observation, the concurrency cap, post-shutdown rejection and
idempotent disposal.

Two of the fixes were more than re-wiring:

- **`SessionManager` / `SubscriptionManager` loops were structurally
unawaitable.** Both return `ValueTask`, so `Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
...)` handed back a `Task<ValueTask>` that completes at the first yield.
Storing it would not have helped — awaiting it would only have awaited
the *scheduling*. Both now go through `AsTask().Unwrap()`, matching the
neighbouring `StartConditionRefreshWorker`.
- **`ChannelAsyncOperation` was swallowing subscriber exceptions.** Its
`doNotBlock` branch had no try/catch while the inline branch beside it
did. It is per-operation with no owner to hang a drain on, so it gained
the missing handler rather than a scope.

The Kubernetes readiness endpoint keeps a purpose-built semaphore
instead: an unauthenticated endpoint needs a hard cap on concurrent
handlers, not just an owner.

### ⚠️ Breaking: `ISessionManager.Shutdown()` is removed

Replaced by `ShutdownAsync(CancellationToken)`. There is no correct
synchronous way to wait for the session monitor loop, so leaving the
overload would only have preserved the race. This mirrors
`ISubscriptionManager`, which already had `ShutdownAsync`. Migration
notes are in `docs/MigrationGuide.md`; only one in-repo implementer
existed.

Also converted the injected `object partitionLock` shared by
`LogicalSubscription` and `CompositeMonitoredItemCollection` to
`System.Threading.Lock`, per the repo rule.

## Patch coverage now scales with the size of the patch

A flat floor over changed lines punishes small changes for arithmetic:
two uncovered lines in a four-line fix reads as 50 % and failed an 80/5
floor — which is exactly how this branch earned a red coverage check for
a four-line predicate change. A check that fires on changes nobody
considers undertested is one people learn to ignore.

| Coverable changed lines | Floor | Below it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 – 10 | 50 % | warning, still passes |
| 11 – 100 | 60 % | warning, still passes |
| more than 100 | 75 % | **failure** |

Only changes past the last band can fail. Below it the author still gets
a warning naming the uncovered lines. Bands live in `patch.bands` in
`coverage-thresholds.json` and each carries its own `enforced` flag.
Verified end-to-end against synthetic repositories at every boundary.

## Codecov is back, as reporting

Dropped in #4122 when the in-pipeline gate replaced it. Keeping the gate
was right, but dropping Codecov also lost the PR comment, the
file-by-file diff view and the trend. It returns with both statuses
`informational: true` — two gates with two sets of thresholds would
eventually disagree, and `coverage-thresholds.json` stays the single
source of truth.

The upload is switchable and can never fail a build: `enableCodecov`
(Azure) and `ENABLE_CODECOV` (Actions), both defaulting on, both skipped
when `CODECOV_TOKEN` is absent as on fork PRs. Each system uploads the
single merged report it already builds, under its own flag. The old
`codecov.io/bash` uploader was sunset, so Azure uses the current CLI.

## Follow-up actions for maintainers

1. **Update the branch ruleset.** The per-leg `Coverage Release (…)`
checks are gone. Azure reports checks as `<pipeline> (<stage> <job>)`,
so the exact names are:

   | Check | Require? |
   | --- | --- |
| `OPCFoundation.UA-.NETStandard (Tests passed Verify stage results)` |
**yes** |
   | `build-and-test summary` | **yes** (already required) |
| `OPCFoundation.UA-.NETStandard (Code coverage Merge and evaluate)` |
no |
   | `code coverage` | no |
2. **Re-calibrate the thresholds.** `coverage-thresholds.json` is still
seeded from the last Codecov reading (73.61 %). The two systems now
report *different* numbers by design — Actions merges every project on
ubuntu, Azure only the Windows fast-PR legs, and scheduled runs read
higher still because the Debug / .NET 8 / .NET 9 / netstandard stages
also contribute. Re-seed from the GitHub Actions figure.
3. **Note:** a failed advisory coverage stage still turns the whole
Azure run red, which the README build badge reflects on `master`. That
follows from wanting a visible red X on a threshold miss; say the word
if you would rather it were a warning.
4. **The Azure agent pool is the slowest thing here.** Several runs on
this PR sat queued for hours, and one build failed with `Insufficient
system resources` while writing an XML doc file — an agent exhaustion
error, not a code error. It passed on re-run. Worth raising against the
`netstandard` Managed DevOps Pool capacity separately.

doc.
- [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my
feature works and increased code coverage.
- No product code changed, so there are no unit tests to add. The new
logic was verified with purpose-built harnesses instead:
- `check-coverage.ps1` run for real against a merged Cobertura report on
all three paths — pass, threshold failure, and patch coverage with
uncovered changed lines (a scratch commit adding an uncovered method was
correctly resolved to `DataTypeException.cs:193`, reported 0 % patch
coverage and exited 1).
- The gate's accept/reject logic dry-run over `Succeeded` /
`SucceededWithIssues` / `Skipped` / empty / `Failed` / `Canceled` — 6/6
correct.
- `get-matrix.ps1` exit codes verified in clean processes: empty → 1,
normal → 0, `-AllowEmpty` → 0.
- All five pipeline/workflow files parse; both PowerShell scripts parse.
- Action versions checked against the GitHub API and pinned to current
majors.
- [x] I have added all necessary documentation.
- Rewrote the coverage section of `docs/DeveloperGuide.md` as *Required
checks and coverage*, covering which checks belong in the ruleset and
which must not, how coverage is measured, where the numbers appear, and
why the two systems disagree. Corrected the stale "BLOCKS" wording in
`coverage-thresholds.json`.
- [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or
analyzer warnings.
- CI YAML, two PowerShell scripts and documentation only; no compilation
involved.
- [x] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against
at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed.
- Not applicable — no product code changed. `Opc.Ua.Core.Schema.Tests`
was run repeatedly on net10.0 (119 passed) to generate the real
Cobertura fragments used to validate the gate.
- [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and
**all** CodeQL warnings.
- [x] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received.
- Feedback on the path-relevance diff (now a merge-base diff) and the
target-framework numbering in `docs/DeveloperGuide.md` is fixed in
`15b8e38df`.
- A review pass over the gate/coverage split produced the four
correctness fixes listed above, in `863eefc4d`.

Marc Schier 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 HTTP, Modbus, OPC UA and MQTT binding executors (#4144).
- 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.
