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 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 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 35c08874ca Server view parameter status codes; client transfer fallback when GetMonitoredItems is unavailable (#4654)
Two defects found by interop testing the 2.0 stack against foreign OPC
UA stacks (node-opcua, Milo, asyncua, open62541, async-opcua, gopcua).

## 1. Server: view timestamp/version without a ViewId returned
Bad_ViewIdUnknown

A Browse with a `ViewDescription` whose `ViewId` is null but whose
`Timestamp` (or `ViewVersion`) is set got `Bad_ViewIdUnknown` from the
node managers. `ViewDescription.IsDefault` is false, so
`ValidateViewDescription` looked up the null `ViewId` and failed with
"unknown view".

Spec (OPC 10000-4):
- §7.44: a null `viewId` means the entire AddressSpace. Timestamp and
viewVersion each select a version of the View, and "either the Timestamp
or the viewVersion parameter may be set by a Client, but not both".
- Table 178 / Browse service results (§5.9.2.3):
`Bad_ViewTimestampInvalid` = "the view timestamp is not available or not
supported", `Bad_ViewVersionInvalid` likewise, and
`Bad_ViewParameterMismatch` = the view parameters are not consistent
with each other.

Fix: a new internal `ViewDescriptionValidator.ValidateParameters`
handles the checks that don't depend on the View node:
- timestamp **and** version set → `Bad_ViewParameterMismatch` (before
this, a known view got `Bad_ViewTimestampInvalid`)
- null ViewId + timestamp → `Bad_ViewTimestampInvalid`
- null ViewId + version → `Bad_ViewVersionInvalid`

It is called at service level in
`NodeManagerServiceDispatcher.BrowseAsync`, because these are Browse
*service* results. It is also called in
`CustomNodeManager2.ValidateViewDescription`,
`AsyncCustomNodeManager.ValidateViewDescription` and the
`DiagnosticsNodeManager` override, so a node manager called directly
answers the same way. TranslateBrowsePaths and RegisterNodes take no
ViewDescription, and BrowseNext reuses the validated view from the
continuation point.

## 2. Client: transfer failed when the optional Server.GetMonitoredItems
is unavailable

After `TransferSubscriptions` returns Good, the client calls
`Server.GetMonitoredItems` (i=11492) to map server handles to client
handles. That call is only made for a subscription that is not live in
this client: one restored from saved state, or a clone. Its own live
subscriptions skip it. `GetMonitoredItems` is an **Optional** method of
ServerType (OPC 10000-5 §6.3.1, §9.1), and several stacks don't provide
it: asyncua 2.0.1 answers `BadNothingToDo`, open62541 built without
`UA_ENABLE_XML_ENCODING` answers `BadInternalError`, and others answer
`BadMethodInvalid` or `BadNotSupported`. When the call failed, the whole
transfer was reported as failed ("SubscriptionId N could not be moved")
even though the server had moved the subscription. For non-"definitive"
codes such as BadNothingToDo or BadInternalError, the transferred server
subscription was also left behind as an orphan.

### Chosen fallback

The status of a failed call is now classified
(`GetMonitoredItemsFallback.IsTransientFailure`):
- **Transient** (timeout, busy server, too many operations, lost
connection, channel or session): behaviour is unchanged. The transfer
fails and nothing is deleted, so it can be retried.
- **Anything else** (method missing, not supported, BadNothingToDo,
BadInternalError, unusable output): the server does not provide the
method. Then:
1. **The client knows server ids for its items** (the usual case:
restored state, or a reconnect of its own subscription). Use that
mapping and the transfer succeeds. A transfer keeps item ids and client
handles, which is why OPC 10000-4 §6.8 tells clients to store the
SubscriptionId together with the MonitoredItem client and server
handles. Items saved without an id were never created on the server, and
the normal apply path creates them, as before.
2. **No server ids are known** (a clone of a live subscription,
`CloneSubscriptions`). Notifications would still arrive, because clones
copy the client handles. But the items could never be modified or
deleted, and recreating them would duplicate them on the server, since
stale items can't be deleted without their ids. So:
- classic engine, when the caller just moved the subscription
(`Session.TransferSubscriptionsAsync`): delete the transferred server
subscription and **recreate it in place** with the same items and client
handles. The transfer reports success, but notifications the server
still had queued for the old subscription are lost. The subscription
gets a new id.
- classic `Subscription.TransferAsync` (also used to adopt the session's
own subscriptions, so nothing was moved): fails as before, and nothing
is deleted or created.
- new engine (`MonitoredItemManager.TrySynchronizeHandlesAsync`): fails
as before. Its callers (`SubscriptionManager`) already recreate the
subscription in that case.

Both engines now treat an unusable GetMonitoredItems answer (wrong
output arguments) the same way as an unavailable method. The two
existing
`TryCompleteTransferAsyncShouldReturnFalseWhenResponseWrong{1,2}Async`
tests were updated and renamed to match. The existing classic test that
expected a "definitive" failure to delete the subscription now checks
the fallback to the known ids instead.

Warnings are logged when the fallback is used (`Subscription + 71..73`,
`MonitoredItemManager + 6`).

## Tests

- Server:
`AsyncCustomNodeManagerTests.BrowseAsyncNullViewIdWithVersionParametersReturnsViewParameterErrorAsync`
(sync and async node manager, timestamp, version, both) and
`MasterNodeManagerDeterministicTests.BrowseAsyncNullViewIdWithVersionParametersThrowsViewParameterError`
(service level).
- Classic client (`ClassicSubscriptionCoverageTests`): fallback to known
ids for every non-transient code, while transient codes still fail; a
Bad method result (asyncua style); clone recreated in place (old
subscription deleted, items created with the original client handles);
clone adopted through `TransferAsync` is neither deleted nor recreated.
- New engine (`SubscriptionTests`): known ids used for Bad /
BadMethodInvalid / BadNotSupported / BadNothingToDo / BadInternalError;
transient failure and unknown ids still fail.

Run locally (net10.0, sequential):
- Opc.Ua.Client.Tests: 2745 passed / 0 failed
- Opc.Ua.Server.Tests: 8089 passed / 0 failed / 5 skipped
- Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Durable.Tests: 36 passed / 11 skipped
- Opc.Ua.InformationModel.Tests (View/Browse filter): 289 passed / 4
skipped
- Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests (Transfer/Reconnect filter): 155 passed / 103
skipped
- Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests (Transfer/Durable filter): 15 passed / 1
skipped
- net48 build of both test projects: clean

The interop test that found (2),
`ServerFeatureInteropTests.TransferSubscriptionToNewSessionAsync`, is in
the uncommitted foreign-interop work and isn't on master yet.

romanett efad0ddeff Server subscriptions: fix spec defects in Subscription/MonitoredItem handling found by audit (#4629)
# Description

Fixes defects found in a spec-grounded audit of the server
**Subscription / MonitoredItem** implementation
(`src/Opc.Ua.Server/Subscription/**`, `NodeManager/MonitoredItem/**`,
`EventManager`, monitored-item service dispatch and filter validation).
Each behaviour change was checked against OPC 10000-4 (§5.13, §5.14,
§7.21, §7.22), Part 5 (subscription diagnostics) and Part 9
(ConditionRefresh). Every fix has a regression test.

The audit found 56 defects (1 Critical, 3 High, 20 Medium, 32 Low). A
follow-up max-effort code review of the fix branch found 27 more issues,
mostly introduced by the first round of fixes. All but one are fixed
here.

### Most important fixes
- **Critical — remote hang:** an `AggregateFilter` with
`processingInterval = NaN` was not revised, and `AggregateCalculator`
looped forever while holding the node-manager lock, so one
CreateMonitoredItems request blocked the node manager. Non-finite, ≤0
and sub-tick intervals are now revised (Part 4 §5.13.2.1), and the
calculator rejects them as a backstop.
- **Monitored-item limits:** new
`ServerConfiguration.MaxMonitoredItemCount` /
`MaxMonitoredItemsPerSubscription`; Bad_TooManyMonitoredItems is
returned when a limit is hit, and ServerCapabilities now report the
limits. Both default to `0` (no limit), so existing behaviour is
unchanged.
- **Sampling groups:** a client could get one dedicated thread per
distinct sampling interval above 1 h; intervals above the last rate
group are now rounded, and the loop is async. An item could also end up
in two sampling groups and keep being sampled after it was deleted.
- **Subscription state machine** (Part 4 §5.14.1.2):
- the lifetime counter resets while a Publish is queued and counts
otherwise;
  - the lifetime and keep-alive stay within `MaxSubscriptionLifetime`;
  - LatePublishRequestCount is counted once per entry into LATE;
- messages held while publishing is disabled are no longer sent, and are
not offered by Transfer/Republish either;
- ConditionRefresh returns Bad_RefreshInProgress for any refresh already
queued or running on the subscription.
- **Triggering** (Part 4 §5.13.1.6):
- linked items are triggered by an item still draining a backlog, by the
first value after re-enable, and by an item created Disabled;
  - links are persisted for durable subscriptions;
- Disabled/Sampling items follow the publish rules in the shared
pipeline, so custom `IMonitoredItem` implementations follow them too.
- **Queues** (Part 4 §5.13.1.5, §7.21):
  - no duplicate value after a queue-size increase;
- EventQueueOverflow events are placed where the events were lost,
including on queue shrink;
  - the duplicate-event check scans the newest entries;
- EventQueueOverflowCount and MonitoringQueueOverflowCount are
maintained correctly;
- changing select clauses rebuilds queued events in the new layout, and
is safe on durable queues and on failure.
- **Filters:**
- per-clause EventFilterResult instead of rejecting the whole item (Part
4 §7.22.3);
- corrected status codes: Bad_DeadbandFilterInvalid,
Bad_MonitoredItemFilterInvalid, Bad_EventFilterInvalid,
Bad_MonitoringModeInvalid, Bad_TimestampsToReturnInvalid;
- aggregate filter in subscriptions: processing interval at least 2× the
revised sampling interval, revised StartTime on the requested grid,
ServerTimestamp = end of interval (Part 4 §7.22.4).
- **Lifecycle and races:**
- expired subscriptions are always cleaned up, even when the session
closes during cleanup;
  - Create/Transfer racing CloseSession returns Bad_SessionClosed;
  - session diagnostics counts no longer drift;
  - a large but valid Publish TimeoutHint no longer fails the request;
- a ready subscription is served by queued Publish requests instead of
going Late;
  - restored persisted state is validated.
- **Access:** a value change notification is checked against each
subscriber's UserAccessLevel, not the writer's.
- **Redundancy / durable store:**
  - the first-unsent sequence number is mirrored;
  - sequence numbers are no longer reused after a second failover;
- triggering links are stored (definition format 6, written only when
links exist, so older replicas can still read link-less subscriptions).

### Behaviour changes reviewers should know
- With the default config, publishing intervals above
`MaxSubscriptionLifetime / 3` (1,200,000 ms) are revised down, so
lifetime ≥ 3×keep-alive fits the configured maximum.
- The revised keep-alive is capped at a third of the max lifetime.
- Idle subscriptions expire after exactly MaxLifetimeCount cycles
without a queued Publish.
- A partly invalid EventFilter select list is accepted with per-clause
errors. The public `EventFilter.Validate` keeps Status Good if at least
one clause is valid; callers that cannot return per-clause results must
also check the new `EventFilter.Result.HasSelectClauseErrors`. There is
a migration note in `docs/migrate/2.0.x/sessions-subscriptions.md`.
- Aggregate processing intervals may be revised higher (≥ 2× sampling
interval); aggregate ServerTimestamp is now the interval end.
- Sampling intervals above 3,600,000 ms are rounded to multiples of
900,000 ms (default rate groups).

### Public API
Additive only:
- `ServerConfiguration.MaxMonitoredItemCount` and
`MaxMonitoredItemsPerSubscription`;
- `EventFilter.Result.HasSelectClauseErrors`;
- `IStoredSubscriptionTriggering`,
`ISubscriptionRetransmissionSendStateStore`,
`SubscriptionRetransmissionState.FirstUnsentSequenceNumber` (optional
store capabilities, detected with `as`);
- new `EventQueueHandler` constructor overloads.

### Known open items (not in this PR)
- **Part 4 §5.13.2.1:** CreateMonitoredItems should create an item even
when the user lacks Read permission and report the error in Publish.
This is not done: the create-time RolePermissions check is the only role
check on the initial value, so following the spec would leak values
until every node manager re-checks per sample.
- **Sampling loop:** it runs on thread-pool threads; node managers with
blocking synchronous reads should not use sampling groups heavily. The
alternative, a dedicated thread per group, was the thread-exhaustion
issue fixed here.
- **Restarts:** a pending QueueSize-1 value and a pending overflow flag
are not kept across a restart; that needs persistence interface
extensions.
- **Limit defaults:** decide whether the new limits should get finite
defaults (currently 0 = unlimited).

## Related Issues

- No tracking issue; the findings come from an internal audit of the
server subscription code.

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 20c2d77d57 Fix Core/Types audit findings and conform them to the OPC UA spec (stacked on #4569) (#4573)
> **Stacked on #4569.** The base branch is
`romanett/practical-murdock-fd9c56`, so this diff shows only the commits
of this PR. Retarget to `master` after #4569 merges.

## 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,

romanett a0d569d756 Fix Server and GDS audit findings, review findings and spec-conformance gaps (#4571)
## Summary

Fixes the findings of a bug audit of `Opc.Ua.Server`,
`Opc.Ua.Gds.Server` and `Opc.Ua.Gds.Client`. Rebased on master after
#4516.

What went in:
- **Audit:** 93 findings, each checked against the OPC UA specification.
- **Code review of those fixes:** 35 further findings.
- **Spec grounding of every fix commit:** 18 conformance gaps, now
closed.

Commits are one per finding, named `Fix <ID>`, `Fix review <ID>` or `Fix
spec gap <name>`. The IDs refer to the audit report (S = Server areas,
G1 = GDS server, G2 = GDS client).

Validation:
- Each finding was traced in code and checked against OPC 10000 (parts
3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20).
- Every fix commit was checked against the spec text again afterwards: 0
non-conformant, remaining gaps fixed.
- Regression tests were added for most fixes.
- Suites run on net10.0 before the rebase: Server, GDS, History,
Configuration, Features, Core.Security, DI, Redundancy, LDS,
InformationModel, PubSub.Server, Client, Sessions and the three
Subscriptions suites, all green. The same suites on the rebased branch
are still running; results will be posted as a comment.

## Behaviour and user-facing changes

### Secure defaults
- **`Historize()` / `HistorianBuilder`** grant HistoryRead only. History
writes need an explicit `historyAccessLevel: HistoryRead |
HistoryWrite`.
- **File-system mount:**
- Anonymous sessions can no longer create, delete, move or open files
for writing (`Bad_UserAccessDenied`).
  - UserWritable and UserExecutable now reflect the user.
- `AllowAnonymousWrite` restores the old behaviour; the ReferenceServer
sample turns it on.
- **Default PKI root** for the hosted server, hosted GDS, hosted LDS and
`OpcUaApplicationConfigurationProvider`:
- Moved from the shared temp directory to `{LocalApplicationData}/OPC
Foundation/{ApplicationName}/pki`, and startup fails if no per-user
directory exists.
- When certificate stores of an earlier version still exist under temp,
a warning names both paths. Existing deployments that relied on the
default get a new application certificate (and the hosted GDS a new CA)
unless `PkiRoot` is set to the old path.
- **GDS:**
  - `GdsServerOptions.AutoApprove` defaults to `false`.
- The default KeyCredential store grants no roles unless
`AuthorizeRoles` allows them.
- Certificate requests (StartSigningRequest, StartNewKeyPairRequest,
FinishRequest) need an encrypted channel.
- **Hosted server anonymous logins:**
- Anonymous is rejected (`Bad_IdentityTokenRejected`) when the default
authenticator options disable it.
- A custom `AddIdentityAuthenticator<T>()` on its own no longer disables
anonymous.
- With anonymous disabled and no configured token policies, the endpoint
advertises the authenticators' token types instead of Anonymous.
- **Runtime-added roles:** their properties and methods need
SecurityAdmin over an encrypted channel, like the well-known roles.
- **Disabled users:** users disabled through Part 18 UserManagement can
no longer log in through `RegisterDefaultAuthenticators(IUserDatabase)`.

### GDS server (Part 12)
- **Certificate requests:**
- FinishRequest / ReadRequest with another application's RequestId
returns `Bad_InvalidArgument`.
  - Every Start*Request returns a new RequestId.
- A CSR without the ApplicationUri is rejected
(`Bad_CertificateUriInvalid`).
- An abstract or unsupported certificate type is rejected at Start
(`Bad_InvalidArgument`).
- **Private-key password:** no longer persisted in the JSON applications
database. A password saved by an earlier version is read into memory
once and dropped on the next save.
- **CheckRevocationStatus:** validates offline against the GDS's own
trust lists and CRLs. It returns Good for good GDS-issued certificates
and `Bad_CertificateInvalid` for input that is not a certificate.
- **Certificate-group trust lists:**
- Writes need CertificateAuthorityAdmin; SecurityAdmin and application
admins are read-only.
  - Writes are validated with the Part 4 certificate validation.
- **AuthorizationService:**
- The legacy RequestAccessToken applies `AccessControl` and issues the
token for the session identity.
- StartRequestToken passes the session identity to every identity-aware
provider.
  - Unknown ResourceIds return `Bad_NotFound`.
- Expired token requests and refresh tokens are pruned, with at most 10
000 pending requests (`Bad_TooManyOperations`).
- **KeyCredential:** requests with PublicKey + SecurityPolicyUri are
rejected with `Bad_SecurityPolicyRejected` (secret encryption is not
implemented); a PublicKey without SecurityPolicyUri is rejected with
`Bad_InvalidArgument`.
- **Audit events:** access-token audit events no longer contain the
password or token data.
- **RegisterTickets / UnregisterTickets:** need the RegistrarAdmin role
when called from a session.
- **Managed application nodes:** moved from namespace 0 to their own
namespace (`ManagedApplicationsNamespaceUri`); the NodeId is the
ApplicationUri, and the mandatory child properties exist.
- **Hosted GDS:**
- New `GdsServerOptions.CertificateGroups`
(`GdsCertificateGroupOptions`), bindable from configuration.
  - The mandatory DefaultApplicationGroup is always present.
  - The default CA subject uses the resolved application name.
- **JSON applications database:**
- A corrupt file throws instead of being silently replaced by an empty
database.
- Saves are atomic and write in place on bind mounts; on net8+ builds
they also follow symlinks and keep the Unix file mode.
  - Issued certificates and trust-list links survive a reload.

### GDS client
- **Trust-list download:**
  - Reads until an empty chunk (Part 20 short reads).
- A size-limit rejection of the final end-of-file read, as sent by
released servers, counts as end of file.
- **Default certificate group:** a null group means
DefaultApplicationGroup, and vendor groups in other namespaces are no
longer mistaken for well-known groups.
- **Status codes and errors:**
  - Missing directory proxies report `Bad_ServerNotConnected`.
- Short or wrongly typed method outputs throw `BadUnexpectedError` /
`BadTypeMismatch`.
- **GdsAccessTokenProvider:** no longer caches a failed client task, and
one caller's cancellation no longer fails other callers.

### Trust lists, push and ConfigurationFile (Part 12 / Part 20)
- **AddCertificate:**
  - `IsTrustedCertificate=false` returns `Bad_CertificateInvalid`.
- Added certificates are validated (Part 4), and a certificate revoked
by a current CRL returns `Bad_CertificateRevoked`.
- **CloseAndUpdate:** validates the uploaded list against its own
certificates and CRLs, not the stores it replaces. Validation failures
are no longer recorded in the server's Rejected store.
- **RemoveCertificate:** removing a trusted or issuer CA that other
certificates still need returns `Bad_CertificateChainIncomplete`.
- **Handles:**
  - Several read handles may be open at once.
- Any open while a write handle exists returns `Bad_NotReadable` /
`Bad_NotWritable`.
  - A write open while any handle is open returns `Bad_NotWritable`.
  - Handles of closed sessions are released.
  - Idle handles close after ActivityTimeout (default 60 s).
- **Status codes:**
- Read clamps to the remaining bytes and no longer enforces the size
limit.
  - Oversized Write / AddCertificate returns `Bad_RequestTooLarge`.
  - Unsupported open modes return `Bad_NotSupported`.
- **ConfigurationFile.CloseAndUpdate:**
  - Empty Targets return `Bad_InvalidArgument`.
- The ConfigurationUpdatedAuditEvent is raised with the configuration
owner as source.
- With the new `IApplicationConfigurationFileTargetProvider`, providers
receive the Targets, a bad target returns Uncertain with per-target
results, and session-interrupting updates are applied after
RestartDelayTime.
- **Default namespace permissions:** namespaces registered after the
first permission lookup now get their NamespaceMetadata default
RolePermissions and AccessRestrictions (no stale negative cache).

### Sessions, identity and roles (Part 18)
- **Session timeouts:** a failure closing one timed-out session no
longer stops the session-timeout monitor.
- **ChangePassword:** an empty old password returns
`Bad_IdentityTokenInvalid`.
- **Removing or disabling a user:** closes only that user's
UserName-token sessions.
- **Role configuration changes:** roles granted by an `ImpersonateUser`
mapping are kept.
- **X509Subject rules:** a certificate subject value containing a quote
never matches an X509Subject rule.
- **`ImpersonateUser` callback:** no longer runs under the global
session lock.
- **Session diagnostics:** LocaleIds are kept as the client sent them,
while null LocaleIds are ignored for translation.

### Subscriptions and monitored items (Part 4)
- **Acknowledgements:** a failing acknowledgement returns a per-entry
Bad status instead of failing the whole Publish.
- **`DiscardedMessageCount`:** counts messages dropped from the
retransmission queue and unsent overflow messages.
- **Durable subscriptions:** transferring a restored anonymous
subscription works (no NullReferenceException).
- **Transferred subscriptions:** sampling and permission checks use the
item's current owner session.
- **Access denied:** a monitored item whose user may no longer read the
attribute gets a `Bad_UserAccessDenied` notification instead of going
silent. Non-Value attributes need Browse permission (RolePermissions
needs ReadRolePermissions), and User* attributes are evaluated per
subscriber.
- **ModifyMonitoredItems:** a SamplingInterval of -1 uses the
subscription's publishing interval.
- **AggregateFilter priming:** needs HistoryRead / ReadHistory
permission and is bounded (100 000 values, bounded page size).
- **Resource leak:** event monitored items no longer leak a consumer
task per create/delete cycle.

### Node management services (Part 3 / Part 4)
- **Reference types:** AddNodes, AddReferences, DeleteReferences and
Browse reject ids that are not ReferenceTypes with
`Bad_ReferenceTypeIdInvalid`. AddNodes, AddReferences and
DeleteReferences also reject abstract ReferenceTypes; Browse still
accepts them (e.g. `HierarchicalReferences` with includeSubtypes).
- **Concurrent AddNodes:** duplicate BrowseNames under one parent get
`Bad_BrowseNameDuplicated`.
- **TranslateBrowsePathsToNodeIds:**
- Requires Browse permission on intermediate nodes and final targets
(RolePermissions and AccessRestrictions).
  - A long RelativePath no longer rejects the whole request.
- **SemanticChangeEvent:**
- Raised once per actual change of a semantic property, whether or not
it is monitored.
  - Also raised for properties with the SemanticChange access-level bit.
  - Reports the owning node's TypeDefinition as AffectedType.
- **Localized diagnostics:** operation-level text is translated when
OperationLocalizedText is requested.

### History and aggregates (Part 11 / Part 13)
- **DeleteRawModified:** an unspecified or reversed range returns
`Bad_InvalidTimestampArgument`, and StartTime == EndTime deletes the
value at StartTime for every provider.
- **ReadAtTime fallback:** reads only the values around each requested
time. A time whose bound is not found within the search limit returns
`Bad_BoundNotSupported` instead of failing the request.
- **ReadProcessed:** a ProcessingInterval shorter than one tick returns
`Bad_AggregateInvalidInputs`.
- **Delta / DeltaBounds:** widen to the next larger signed type when the
result does not fit the source type (e.g. a decreasing unsigned counter,
or an Int16 overflow).
- **Range / Range2:** return the source data type.

### Alarms and fluent API (Part 9)
- **Suppression:** an alarm stays suppressed while any suppression group
is active, and re-evaluation without a state change does not move
TransitionTime.
- **`MonitorVariable(variable)`:** sets SourceNode, SourceName and
InputNode to the variable and makes it a ConditionSource (HasCondition
to the alarm, HasEventSource from the object).
- **Fluent input/output arguments:** InputArguments / OutputArguments
added through the fluent API to a registered method are readable.
- **Root notifiers:** a failed root-notifier registration no longer
leaves an orphaned event worker.
- **State-machine handlers:** exceptions are logged at Error.

### File system (Part 20)
- **Delete / MoveOrCopy:**
  - Only act on direct children of the directory.
- A NodeId whose kind does not match the entry returns `Bad_NotFound` (a
file NodeId can no longer delete a directory).
- Copying a directory into its own subtree returns
`Bad_InvalidArgument`.
- **Locking:**
- An open file, or a directory containing one, cannot be deleted or
moved (`Bad_InvalidState`).
  - The check is atomic with opens.
- While a Delete or Move runs, read opens get `Bad_NotReadable` and
write opens `Bad_InvalidState`.
- **Open:**
- Reserved mode bits or EraseExisting without Write return
`Bad_InvalidArgument`.
  - Read+Write returns `Bad_NotSupported`.
  - Read while a writer is open returns `Bad_NotReadable`.
- **Client `FileSystemErrors`:** maps `Bad_NotReadable` to
`IOException`.
- **RuntimeNodeSet:** well-formed NodeSets with a stray `Model` element,
or two models in one file where one requires the other, now load.

### Server core, hosting and lifecycle
- **`SessionEstablishmentQueueLimit` > 0:**
CreateSession/ActivateSession now queue for a permit. The permit is
acquired before the request is registered, and a waiting handshake
releases its worker through the request-parking policy.
- **Node manager lifecycle:**
  - Add, reload and remove no longer wait for parked Publish requests.
- A Migrate reload racing with CreateMonitoredItems no longer blocks
later lifecycle operations.
  - Late items on retired or removed managers get `Bad_NodeIdUnknown`.
- **HistoryUpdate:** a batch mixing data and event details is bounded by
both limits.
- **Server stop/start:** stopping the server disposes the configuration
watcher and certificate subscription; starting recreates them.
- **Monitored-item queue factory:** a factory supplied by the caller or
the DI container is no longer disposed by the server.
- **Audit events:** each certificate validation error raises its own
AuditCertificate event. A failed OpenSecureChannel without a service
result is audited as failed.

## New public API (additive)
- `IQueuedSessionEstablishmentLimiter`
- `StandardServer.OwnsMonitoredItemQueueFactory` (protected virtual)
- `DefaultPkiRoot.Get` (Opc.Ua.Configuration)
- `TrustList.SetCertificateValidation`
- `NamespaceMetadataRegistry.Invalidate`
- `IApplicationConfigurationFileTargetProvider` and
`ApplicationConfigurationUpdatePlan`
- `GdsServerOptions.CertificateGroups` / `GdsCertificateGroupOptions`
- `InMemoryKeyCredentialRequestStore.AuthorizeRoles`
-
`DefaultManagedApplicationsNodeManager.ManagedApplicationsNamespaceUri`
- `AuthorizationServiceManager.RequestAccessTokenAsync(...,
IUserIdentity?, ...)`
- `AllowAnonymousWrite` on the file-system node manager and its factory
- `IFileSystemHost.TryBeginMutation` / `EndMutation`, replacing
`HasOpenHandles`

## Not fixed / known limitations
- **KeyCredential:** secret encryption with the client's PublicKey
(requests needing it are rejected).
- **CSR SAN restriction:** restricting subject / SAN values copied from
a CSR (CA policy).
- **Ticket signatures:** ticket signature verification (needs a
trusted-signer configuration).
- **FileType Read+Write open:** needs a read/write stream contract in
`IFileSystemProvider`.
- **Custom `IUserDatabase` implementations:** the disabled-user check
still scans all users per login. The built-in stores do a single lookup.
- **64-bit Delta precision:** limited by the calculator's double
arithmetic.

## Tests with changed expectations
Existing tests were updated where they asserted the old behaviour:
- File-system status codes
- Trust-list handle eviction
- `DiscardedMessageCount`
- Localized diagnostics bits
- Delta on unsigned sources
- SourceNode of fluent alarms
- ReferenceServer transfer permission test (now expects
`Bad_UserAccessDenied` notifications)
- `UserDeactivationShutdownReviewTests` (the revoked session is a
UserName login)

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.

| Scope | net10.0 | net48 |

- 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.

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.

### Mantis issues filed

| Id | Issue |
| --- | --- |
| C51 | [11458](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11458) GDS
scripts expect NA records in query results |
| C52 | [11459](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11459) A &

Minimum2 oracle on reverse reads |
| U4 | [11462](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11462) Part
13 clarification: TreatUncertainAsBad and simple bounds (DeltaBounds) |

The A & C `BadSubscriptionIdInvalid` failures (Refresh, Refresh2,
Shelving) come from CPU load: with other processes at 100 % CPU, all
subscriptions of the CTT alarm session expire within one second. This
happens with and without this PR (3 of 3 loaded runs, 0 of 2 idle runs).

### CTT verification

CTT 1.05.06, scripts 1.05.513, compared at test-case level against a
build of the starting commit:

| Group | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Aggregates | 4,562 error messages | 4,186. NumberOfTransitions: 12
test cases go from error to pass. AnnotationCount
`005-01.js`/`005-02.js` pass. NumberOfTransitions
`003-02.js`/`004-02.js` now fail because of C1 ([Mantis
11420](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11420)): they
request TreatUncertainAsBad = false, but the harness makes the server
use its default of true. |
| Discovery | 10 warnings | 0. Find Servers Filter `003.js`/`006.js` and
Get Endpoints `002.js` pass. |
| Subscription | – | Publish Min 05 `003.js` goes from warning to pass.
|
| Historical Access, GDS, Node Management | – | no new failures |

`plans/ctt-issues.md` is updated: resolved items leave the open
sections, and the new Mantis issues are recorded.

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.

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.

| Local merge validation | Framework | Passed | Existing exclusions |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: |
| Core, complete project | net10.0 | 5,081 | 88 |
| NodeState / BaseInstanceState | net10.0 | 579 | 0 |
| Server node management, certificate and session-security selection |
net10.0 | 112 | 0 |
| InformationModel node-management services | net10.0 | 29 | 1 |
| NodeState / BaseInstanceState | net48 | 578 | 0 |
| Core certificate validation, error reporting and TCP buffers | net48 |
111 | 0 |
| Server node management, certificate and session-security selection |
net48 | 112 | 0 |

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 93559d06d3 Fix sample A&C refresh and alarm timing found by slow CTT Alarms and Conditions runs (#4482)
## Why the CTT *Alarms and Conditions* group was so slow

I measured every A&C CU with a fresh `ConsoleReferenceServer --ctt` (CTT
1.05.06, scripts 1.05.513), read the per-test `ResultNode` timestamps,
and added `addLog` timing/counter instrumentation to a copy of the CTT
project.

| Cause | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| **CertificateExpiration** opens a modal dialog in `initialize.js`
("adjust the clock on the server"), and it also appears in `--hidden`
runs | The CTT never exits. This is why the whole group "did not finish
in 40 minutes". |
| **Limit/Level CUs:** `initialize.js` idles the CU session for one
Alarm Cycle Time (60 s) during the initial capture.
`RequestedSessionTimeout` is also 60 s. | The server correctly closes
the session. `LimitHelper` then gets `BadSessionIdInvalid` for its 5
filter subscriptions, and Test_003–006 each run 180 s, about 14 min per
CU. |
| Alarm `Test_002` never gives the AcknowledgeableCondition type a
result | Always runs 3 × cycle (180 s). |
| Enable `Test_003` needs every alarm type to go active within cycle/10
| Timed out in 6 of 7 runs, because boolean and analog alarms changed
state on different ticks. |
| Enable `Err_004` answers each event with Disable/Disable/Enable |
Feedback burst, after which the CTT alarm thread sometimes returns no
events. Details below. |
| Comment `Test_001`–`004` compare against
`CallHelper.ServerTimeOfCall`, which the CTT never sets (`0001-01-01`) |
Every comment event counts as unrelated, and the tests skip after 3
retries. The server's events carry the expected comment. |

Measured CU by CU, the group took **about 87 min plus the hang**. With
the fixes below, running the whole group in one CTT process without
CertificateExpiration takes **18:45** at Alarm Cycle Time 30. The per-CU
table is in `plans/ctt-testing.md` §6.

## Server changes

- **Refresh one subscription per request, not one per Call**
(`AlarmNodeManager.CallAsync`). The sample answered every
ConditionRefresh/ConditionRefresh2 after the first one in a Call with
`Bad_RefreshInProgress`, even for other subscriptions, and never
forwarded them. So CTT Refresh `Err_004` (10 subscriptions per Call)
only ever refreshed one of them. The check is now keyed by
SubscriptionId and MonitoredItemId.
- Regression tests:
`AlarmsAndConditionsRefreshTests.ConditionRefresh[2]OfDifferentSubscriptionsInOneCallSucceedsAsync`.
Both fail without the fix.
- **Boolean alarm source now uses the analog source's steps and limits**
(`AlarmController`, `ConditionTypeHolder.GetSeverity`). OffNormal,
Discrete and SystemOffNormal alarms now change state on the same tick as
the limit alarms (5 per second, 70/90/30/10), and the shortest state
still lasts 4 s.
- With this, Enable `Test_003` passed in 4 s instead of a timeout.
Confirm `Test_001` for the boolean types also stopped failing in both
group runs.
- Test:
`AlarmControllerTests.BooleanAndAnalogSourcesChangeStateOnTheSameStep`
(fails without the change).
- **Alarm controllers step on shared interval boundaries**
(`AlarmController.SetNextInterval`). Scheduling relative to the last
step let the two controllers drift up to one 100 ms simulation tick
apart, so the boolean events sometimes landed in a later publish and
Enable `Test_003` still timed out in 3 of 5 runs. With shared boundaries
it passed in 6 of 6 runs.
- Test:
`AlarmControllerTests.ControllersScheduleTheirStepsOnSharedIntervalBoundaries`.

I did not make the simulation faster. Acknowledge, Confirm and Comment
tests call methods with the EventId of the event they just received, and
a shorter state would make them race the next transition.

## Not reproduced / not a server defect

- **Refresh `Err_004` `BadSubscriptionIdInvalid` cascade.** In the
original run the alarm-thread session's subscriptions (15.5 s lifetime)
were gone after the script's 30 s wait. Nine further CTT runs passed all
28 Refresh/Refresh2 cases. An in-process replay with a sequential
publisher kept every subscription; that replay is what exposed the
refresh defect above.
- **Enable event stall (C43) is inside the CTT.** A server build that
logs every returned notification message showed that during a stall the
server sent 435 and 420 events to the two CTT event items in 173
messages, and the CTT acknowledged all of them, while its alarm-thread
buffers returned nothing. It only happens after `Err_004`'s
Disable/Enable feedback burst, in 8 of 28 runs.

## Docs

- `plans/ctt-testing.md`: new §6 *Alarms and Conditions*, covering the
recommended run, where the time goes, how to instrument a run and the
expected result. Also a note that a hidden CTT run can block on dialogs,
so always use a timeout.
- `plans/ctt-issues.md`: the A&C "open server findings" are replaced
with these results, and there are new CTT script defects C39–C44 plus
configuration notes (Shelving chattering alarms, Alarm Cycle Time vs
session timeout).

## Tests

- `Opc.Ua.History.Tests` A&C + AlarmClient: 155 passed.
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` `AlarmControllerTests` /
`QuickstartsServerUtilitiesTests`: 4 passed.
- CTT whole-group runs (27 CUs, 128 cases): 18:45 at cycle 30 and 29:23
at cycle 60 on this branch; 23:43 and 24:21 with only the refresh fix.
The spread comes from the Enable stall (C43).

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 8e874d073b Revise event monitored item queueSize 0/1 per Part 4 §7.21 (fixes CTT Auditing Connections) (#4480)
## Problem

CTT **Auditing Connections** (CTT 1.05.06, scripts 1.05.513,
`ConsoleReferenceServer --ctt -a`) fails nondeterministically:

- `TestFindActualFromExpected - Unable to Find Entry for
ClientAuditEntryId <id>` (011.js, 012.js, 007.js, 020.js, varying by
run)
- `TestFindActualFromExpected - Unable to Find an Entry for
AuditEventType: i=2060` (and i=2069/i=2071), reported as Not Supported

## Root cause

The CTT audit subscription (`library/Base/auditThread.js`) monitors
`Server.EventNotifier` with the CTT's default `QueueSize = 1` and a 250
ms publishing interval. For **event** monitored items Part 4 §7.21
defines queueSize 0 as "the Server default" and 1 as "the minimum queue
size the Server requires for Event Notifications". `EventManager` only
clamped the maximum and `MonitoredItem.InitializeQueue` mapped only 0 to
1000, so 1 became a literal one-entry discard-oldest queue
(`RevisedQueueSize = 1`).

A single connect raises OpenSecureChannel, CreateSession,
ActivateSession and CloseSession audit events within milliseconds, and
in `--ctt` mode alarm events share the queue. Every event except the
last one raised between two publishes was dropped and replaced by an
`EventQueueOverflowEventType`.

The audit event content itself was correct. The events that survived
carried exactly the `ClientAuditEntryId` the CTT put in
`RequestHeader.AuditEntryId`.

## Evidence (instrumented CTT copy logging `Test.Audit.GetBuffer()`)

| Server | RevisedQueueSize | CTT buffer | Auditing group result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| master | 1 | 16 events, **7 × i=3035 EventQueueOverflow**, 0 ×
OpenSecureChannel (2060), 0 × CloseSession (2069) | 18 pass, 2 Error + 1
NotSupported (007/020/001) |
| this PR | 1000 | 42 events, no overflow, every expected audit type
present | 21 pass, 0 errors (official project, uninstrumented) |

Each gap in the master buffer is followed by an overflow event. For
example, OpenSecureChannel at .553 is overwritten by CreateSession at
.617, and CloseSession at 08.307 by CloseSecureChannel at 08.312.

## Fix

- `EventManager.CalculateRevisedQueueSize`: requested queueSize 0 and 1
are revised to the new `EventManager.DefaultEventQueueSize` (1000), then
limited by `MaxEventQueueSize`/`MaxDurableEventQueueSize`. This applies
on create, modify and restore, so `RevisedQueueSize` reports the real
size.
- `MonitoredItem.InitializeQueue`/`RestoreQueue`: event items with
queueSize ≤ 1 use the same default. Previously only 0 did; data change
behaviour is unchanged.

## Tests

- New `EventManagerTests`: revision of 0/1, clamping to max, modify with
1, and a behavioural test that a 3-event burst on a `QueueSize = 1` item
publishes all 3. Before the fix it published 2: the last event plus the
overflow event.
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests`: 5558 passed / 0 failed (net10.0)
- `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests`: 619 passed / 0 failed / 6 skipped
(net10.0)
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Security.Tests` (Audit filter): 88 passed / 0 failed / 3
skipped

Marc Schier 4633aa7a34 Harden HA address-space hydration and replica-consistent NodeIds (#4445)
# Description

Follow-up to #4390 for distributed address-space ownership,
authoritative
hydration, and replica-consistent wire NodeIds. Tracks #4444.

Identity implementation: `a78d59067` (Server policy/lifecycle/adapter
seam) and
`07faf5cfd` (replica identity module, runtime wiring, examples and
proofs).

## Replica identity

- `UseReplicaNodeIdentity` / `ReplicaNodeIdFactory` reserve fixed shared
namespace
indexes before node-manager construction and reuse
`DefaultNodeIdFactory`.
  ApplicationUri and built-in diagnostics/configuration remain local.
- Replicated startup requires an explicit identity contract. Namespace
layout,
  deterministic mode, replica-set identity and writer policy must agree.
Standard factory views, replacement and registration preserve the
policy.
- Active/passive writer-assigned identities are replicated unchanged.
Independent
creation requires stable keys or explicit IDs. Live IDs and retained
tombstones
are reserved before writer allocation; no network/storage call runs in
`New`.
- Protected store descriptors use strong routing, including customized
hybrid
prefixes. Unknown legacy state and empty eventual scans cannot authorize
  automatic adoption. Verified-new hybrid provisioning is explicit.
- Active/active frames compare the descriptor before CRDT merge.
Rejected frames
are not reported as applied; incompatible admission remains at
ServiceLevel 0
  through the standard service-level wiring.
- Shared metadata validation covers type definitions, data types,
references,
permissions, NodeId/ExpandedNodeId/QualifiedName values,
arrays/matrices,
  DataValues and encodeable structures/arguments, without reflection.
- Runtime preparation hydrates retained IDs before replacement routes
publish.
Rebinding keeps the existing store/election or gossip transport/map and
attaches
to the new node-manager sources. Normal node-manager mutations,
including
  AddNodes, reach the cached local-address-space adapter.
- WoT materialization retains the stable configured factory. Samples
expose
genuinely factory-created nodes and a client `--identity` failover
workflow.

## Preserved HA repairs

The published `d99995003` and `79da74f14` fixes remain in place:

- Shared linearizable sequence/lease coordination; no pretend CAS on
CRDT and no
  private counter substituted for shared coordination.
- Strict authoritative record decoding, protected pending reservations,
safe
  snapshot publication and required delta retention.
- Accepted topology state controls authoritative membership; stale
deletion
  cannot remove a newer incarnation.
- Independent subtree attachment tracking and correct disposal of the
final
  snapshot task.
- Values wait for their topology, and parent tombstone horizons prevent
older
  descendant values crossing incarnations.

A new deterministic regression also covers writer hydration preparation:
temporary reconciliation removals must remain inbound application, not
be
recaptured as new shared deletion records.

## Validation

### Review feedback fixes

`3a682155b` addresses the active-node notification, WoT namespace-index
bounds,
and retired-manager XML documentation feedback. The address-space
adapter now
notifies listeners with the registered active node, and both WoT
managers reject
missing/out-of-range namespace indexes before ownership is established.

Targeted feedback validation passes on net10.0 and net48: 8
address-space adapter
cases and 74 WoT cases per framework, plus 17
hydration/gossip/live-client
integration cases on net10.0. The wrong-instance notification and
missing
namespace regressions were reproduced before the fixes.

### Identity implementation evidence

| Selected scope | net10.0 | net48 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| HA repair, identity, metadata, peer admission and real-client
identity/reload fixtures | 215 passed | 215 passed |
| Factory, fluent authoring/import, NodeManagement and address-space
adapter fixtures | 213 passed | 213 passed |
| WoT node-manager fixtures | 68 passed | 68 passed |

- Real UA-TCP clients compare full NodeIds/reference targets across
independent
servers in all four deterministic modes, with different manager/creation
order
and local allocations. Saved IDs work after endpoint failover and
restart.
- Real AddNodes-created IDs remain readable through successive live
manager
replacements in both replication modes, including nodes created after a
reload.
- Two process-level cases start three sample replicas, kill the serving
process,
verify a different serving ServerArray URI, and reuse cached
factory-generated
  IDs for Read and CreateMonitoredItems without remapping or rebrowsing.
- The identity/hydration scenario runs from the actual published win-x64
NativeAOT
  executable in the existing historian companion host.
- The focused writer-recapture regression was observed failing without
its fix,
  then passing. The real reload scenario was additionally repeated while
  diagnosing that race.
- Changed-file formatting/style/analyzers were applied. Existing CA1508,
CA1823,
CA1861 and CA1850 warnings in untouched upstream files were not
suppressed.

The selected checks above do not replace full-solution CI, coverage
gates or
maintainer review, and do not claim that the entire solution or every
native
platform was run. #4444 remains the tracking issue.

## Contract and consistency limits

Fixed identity does not make eventual payload reads linearizable. Hybrid
views
remain non-destructive, use explicit tombstones, and do not infer
empty-store
bootstrap or partition completion from absence. Compacted snapshots
require
authoritative storage. Failed/uncertain reservations require
reconciliation.

There is no automatic namespace-slot allocation, persistent logical-key
mapping
database, live renumbering, legacy-store wipe/adoption, or new hash
algorithm.
Opaque shared structures require a registered codec so their
namespace-bearing
fields can be validated. Application callbacks are still
application-owned.

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 7411654c8d Complete OPC UA Part 11 Historical Access (#4390)
# Description

Completes the OPC UA Part 11 Historical Access work requested by #4387
and
the historian framework integration requested by #4400.

The conformance/evidence catalog covers all 37 released UACore 1.05
Historical Access profiles: 15 Server facets and 22 Client facets,
together
with the standard aggregate functions and their conformance units.
Server
facets are advertised only when the resolved providers expose their
required
interfaces and capabilities.

## Server and provider support

- Completes raw, modified, at-time, processed, annotation, structured,
and event history.
- Dispatches best-effort, bulk, and transactional updates with aligned
statuses, old values, diagnostics, and rollback state.
- Supports mixed history-update detail types and batched
structured/annotation operations.
- Uses composite identities and exclusive cursors for same-timestamp
structured, modified, and event values.
- Captures live data and events, installs historical configuration
objects, and emits typed audit payloads.
- Derives aggregate monitoring filters from per-node historian
capabilities and rejects unsupported processed aggregates before
provider dispatch.
- Supports tri-state `Historizing`: set, clear, or preserve
provider-owned state.

## Client support

- Exposes modified values together with `ModificationInfo`.
- Adds event-history reads and event insert/replace/update/delete
operations.
- Adds structured and annotation batching with strict response
validation.
- Shares continuation handling and release-on-abandon across read
families.
- Accepts inherited standard event fields rooted at event subtypes.

## Review hardening

- Registers DI-selected historians before node-manager reconciliation
and capability publication, while preserving provider ownership.
- Uses committed Raft read barriers for linearizable `TryGetAsync` and
`ScanAsync`.
- Keeps claimed continuation state immutable until a fresh successor is
saved, restoring the original after transient failures.
- Uses exact-incarnation compare-and-delete so delayed cleanup cannot
remove a restored same-ID continuation.
- Cleans up indeterminate initial and replacement saves, and propagates
shutdown cancellation through cleanup resolution.
- Preserves legacy continuation envelopes/cursors and distinct
annotation parent/property identities.
- Deletes every structured entry at a requested timestamp and uses the
complete modified-history ordering tuple.
- Shares native/fallback at-time and AnnotationCount calculations,
including reverse endpoints and cross-framework fractional intervals.
- Primes modified aggregate items before buffered live delivery and
deduplicates history/live overlap using provider-specific identities.
- Keeps committed Modify results successful while reporting priming
failures
  through the monitored item's notification queue.
- Keeps protected-notification state live-only for queues larger than
one.
Queue size one retains the newest notification without pinning errors or
transferring priority during resizing. Durable restore retains ordinary
definitions, last values/errors, and raw queues without recreating
priority.
- Isolates aggregate calculation, modification preparation, and
historical/live
handoff in `AggregationFilterHandler`, retaining existing
provider/factory
wiring and supported past-start behavior. The larger-queue protection
policy
  is unchanged pending the open review discussion.
- Uses one `IMonitoringFilter` owner for protocol filters or the
aggregation
handler, eliminating parallel effective-filter storage and retaining the
current definition during preparation. The original client filter stays
distinct.
- Integrates current master, retaining custom monitored-item creation
decisions and per-node history callbacks.

## Redundant-server alignment and samples

- Adds a protected shared historian with immutable segments, manifest
CAS publication, writer fencing, and restart recovery.
- Persists portable continuation state before exposing it to clients and
transfers ownership during mirrored-session takeover.
- Rejects eventual-consistency and active/active multi-writer historian
configurations rather than silently degrading.
- ReferenceServer and ConsoleReferenceClient demonstrate discovery,
paging, raw/modified/at-time/processed reads, annotation/structured
CRUD, event capture, and event CRUD.
- RedundantServer and RedundantClient demonstrate active/passive
history, continuation recovery after replica termination, and
post-promotion writes.
- Updates Historical Access, High Availability, profile, migration, and
sample documentation.

## Compatibility

- New 2.0 collection boundaries use `ArrayOf<T>` and public byte
payloads use `ByteString`.
- Removes the legacy public virtual
`SamplingGroupManager.CreateMonitoredItem` /
`ModifyMonitoredItem` entry points and protected creation factory, as
agreed
  in review. Migration guidance points to the monitored-item manager and
  construction-decision APIs.
- Retains established persisted formats and current write layouts.
Retired interim
notification-state formats (sample v2 / shared v4) are rejected, as
agreed in review.
- Keeps the historian integration compatible with .NET Framework and
NativeAOT.

## Validation

### Latest CI source repair

`73c619435` forwards the existing cancellation token at both
predefined-node
creation calls in the PR-added History event fixture. The merged
lifecycle
overload exposed these two CA2016 errors, which blocked History jobs,
the
solution build matrix, and CodeQL on GitHub and Azure. The exact
compiler
failure was reproduced locally; the repaired fixture passes 4/4
integration
cases on net10.0 and 4/4 on net48 with clean scoped diagnostics. No
assertions,
tests, coverage thresholds, or CI configuration were weakened.

The repaired History jobs on Linux/macOS and all four Azure solution
builds
now pass. The Windows all-TFM GitHub job instead lost its hosted
runner's
connection; no build log was recoverable, and GitHub recorded a
runner-loss
annotation rather than a compiler/test diagnostic. One unchanged retry
was
requested. Remaining checks are monitored with
`gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast --interval 30`; CI is not yet reported
as green.

### Latest base integration

`bd52e5fea` merges upstream `master` at `da7412c42`. The lifecycle
conflict
retains upstream's shared cancellation-aware registration helper and the
historian behavior. The hosted-historian fixture forwards its existing
token
to the new lifecycle overload. GDS project renames and all three AOT
test
hosts are retained, with their project references resolving after the
merge.

| Integrated scope | net10.0 | net48 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server lifecycle, fluent authoring/import, historian, monitored-item
and hosting regressions | 732 passed | 732 passed |
| NodeState lifecycle regressions | 216 passed | 216 passed |
| Automatically merged Raft client fixtures | 28 passed | 28 passed |

No selected tests failed or were skipped. The manually resolved files
pass
scoped formatting/analyzer checks. One CA1861 warning remains in the
incoming
`NodeSetImportIntegrationTests.cs`; that file is byte-identical to
upstream
master and was not rewritten or suppressed during integration.

### Latest feedback follow-up

`102954eaa` replaces split filter references with the shared
`IMonitoringFilter`
contract implemented by protocol filters and `AggregationFilterHandler`.
Targeted server regressions pass **103/103 on net10.0 and 103/103 on
net48**;
scoped formatting/analyzers are clean, and the updated XML-documentation
inventory has zero gaps across 188 non-generated PR C# files.

`93c5b5db8` renames `AggregationFilterHandler`, makes it the owner of
the
server-revised aggregate filter while preserving the original client
filter,
and removes the retired interim notification-state readers. Server
regressions
pass **101/101** and shared-store regressions **64/64**, on both net10.0
and
net48, with no failures or skips. Runtime-file formatting/analyzers are
clean.

`5ccf45630` completes the public/internal XML-documentation sweep. The
Roslyn
inventory finds zero undocumented eligible declarations across all 186
non-generated PR C# files; the 110-file documentation slice changes only
XML
comments and spacing. `f17765475` applies the three requested Markdown
edits.

### Earlier feedback follow-ups

`a53950737` removes single-slot notification pinning and extracts
aggregate
implementation from MonitoredItem. Targeted sampling, aggregate
modification,
history/live handoff, queue/lifecycle, restore, and serialization cases
pass
**101/101 on net10.0 and 101/101 on net48**, without failures or skips.
Scoped formatting/analyzers are clean; the focused review found no
significant
issues. The final formatted monitored-item fixtures also pass 45/45 on
net48.

The preceding `b21555568` removes the legacy sampling API bridge and
durable
notification-priority state. Its targeted Server cases passed 97/97 and
shared
subscription-store cases passed 64/64 on each framework. The broader
evidence
below remains pinned to its original tested commit, not attributed to
these
follow-ups.

### Earlier integrated-implementation validation

Validated implementation commit: **`3efae597f`**. The following commit,
`f6dbefb1c`, only adds two explanatory comment lines for the final
standards
review; it changes no executable code.

| Scope | net10.0 | net48 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server | 5,187 passed; 56 skipped | Affected surface: 2,160 passed; 1
reproduced baseline failure; 56 skipped |
| Client | 2,202 passed; 2 skipped | 2,204 passed; 5 skipped |
| History integration | 519 passed; 21 skipped | 519 passed; 21 skipped
|
| Redundancy server | 641 passed | 641 passed |
| Redundancy client | 124 passed | 124 passed |
| Core shared-store regression suite | 23 passed | 23 passed |

All six affected samples passed non-incremental Release/net10.0 builds
with
zero warnings and errors: ConsoleReferenceClient,
ConsoleReferenceServer,
RedundantServer, RedundantClient, MinimalBoilerServer, and
PumpDeviceIntegrationServer.

The published self-contained win-x64 NativeAOT executable is 116,924,928
bytes and has no CLR header or managed runtime dependency. Direct
execution
passed **HistoryAotTests 3/3** and **RaftAotTests 2/2**.

Final standards and specification reviews found no confirmed outstanding
high/medium functional gaps or hard standards violations. The remaining
constructor-purpose clarification is addressed in `f6dbefb1c`.

### Reproduced baseline exceptions

The net48 hosted-startup timeout also reproduces in a pristine worktree
at
the previous PR head, `24cf1416d`, in

`RegisterPostStartRegistriesWiresHistorianAndAliasStoresOnPlainServerAsync`,
with the same subsequent certificate-leak assertion. The corresponding
renamed case fails before startup in the reviewed branch as well. This
is
reported separately from the net48 affected-surface results, not counted
as
a passing full Server suite. The net48 matrix selected the historian,
aggregate, monitored-item, fluent, and continuation surfaces and
excluded
the Hosting namespace.

`DurableDataValueQueueVerifyReferenceBatchingAsync` failed at item 1000
in
the net48 affected-surface run and passed its single isolated rerun. The
same
failure at the same assertion reproduces on pristine `849e16acc`; the
test,
sample queue, queue factory, and batch persistor are unchanged. The
original
failure remains in the table rather than being erased by the rerun.

### CI source repairs

- `4be7eb8f7` keeps diagnostics/configuration managers out of
distributed
address-space replication. Those managers inherit the source interface,
but their live server state and redundancy metadata must remain
replica-local.
  The ownership regression passes on net10.0 and net48, and all nine
  redundancy sample CI tests pass locally.
- `d17f467b3` completes the sample startup repair: core managers are
also
replica-local; the startup banner no longer advertises readiness before
initialization; the producer starts after distributed services; and
native
Raft startup no longer forces disruptive extra elections. The full
sample
suite passed 9/9, with initialized `RedundancySupport=Hot`, and focused
  Raft/address-space regressions passed 8/8 and 3/3.
- `81b0b72be` moves the unchanged distributed-historian NativeAOT
scenario
into a smaller, always-run companion executable to bound Apple's linker
input. All 137 AOT tests remain present; the moved test and helpers are
  unchanged. GitHub and Azure publish/run both native executables, with
separate result directories where they share a job. The companion passed
actual Windows NativeAOT execution. Linux and Intel macOS CI passed both
  executables, but this split alone did not fix ARM64 macOS linking.
The remaining historian graph is rooted by ReferenceServer startup, not
just the relocated test. No test exclusion or speculative linker setting
  was added to conceal it.
- `8a5842913` isolates the independent MCP test graph into an always-run
native host. The existing MCP source and assembly leak hooks are linked
  unchanged, and evaluated compiler inputs prove exactly one owner for
  every test source: 133 main + 3 MCP + 1 historian = 137 declarations.
All three hosts run on every AOT platform. The main Windows native
object
is 9.35% smaller; both changed publishes had zero diagnostics. MCP
passed
  3/3; the identical main executable passed 133/133 on one unfiltered
followup after two initial endpoint-discovery connection failures, which
  remain recorded in the local evidence.
- The previous Intel macOS job successfully published and executed its
native
tests, then failed on artifact-upload DNS (`ENOTFOUND`). No upload gate,
  shared environment setting, or cache configuration was disabled.

The first repair round also encountered the unrelated
`MetricsAreEmittedForChannelLifetimeAsync` timing failure on macOS Core.
Neither that test nor channel-manager code is changed by this PR, and
its
assertions remain intact. It passed unchanged on the final repair head.

On `d17f467b3`, the Linux and macOS redundancy sample jobs pass; the
remaining
failure was ARM64 Apple's `too many large addends` assertion. The
verified
upstream relocation-anchor fix (dotnet/runtime#124721, backport
dotnet/runtime#132171) is not present in the shipping ILCompiler
10.0.11.
An experimental multi-module probe failed and was rejected, not added to
CI.
On `8a5842913`,

[`aot-macos-latest`](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/34102158680/job/101678934057)
successfully publishes and executes all three native hosts on ARM64:
136 main runtime cases, 1 historian case, and 3 MCP cases, with no
skips.
The previous Apple linker blocker is resolved. Linux NativeAOT also
passes.
No assertion, test, shared environment setting, cache, or required gate
was
weakened.

The same CI run reports a separate macOS Sessions teardown failure: all
662 executed tests pass, but the global leak assertion detects one
undisposed certificate. The MCP partition changes no runtime, Sessions,
or
test-fixture code. A single unchanged diagnostic rerun is queued once
GitHub
permits rerunning that job; the failure is not suppressed or counted as
green.
Other CI checks are still pending.

romanett f4e93eab93 Fix public IsNodeInView/IsNodeInViewAsync overloads always returning false (#4333)
# Description

The public `IsNodeInView(OperationContext, NodeId, object)` in
`CustomNodeManager2` and `IsNodeInViewAsync(OperationContext, NodeId,
object, CancellationToken)` in `AsyncCustomNodeManager` unwrap the
`NodeHandle` and forward `handle.Node` together with the **unchanged**
`OperationContext`. Since there is no `NodeState`-taking overload with
an `OperationContext`, overload resolution binds the call back to the
same public `(object)` overload; the recursive call's `is not
NodeHandle` guard then returns false. As a result both entry points
always reported "not in view" for a validated handle, regardless of the
view. The sync variant has behaved this way since the initial commit;
the async port copied the same pattern.

The defect is latent in the SDK today: nothing calls
`INodeManager2.IsNodeInView` / `IsNodeInViewAsync` except the sync/async
adapters forwarding to each other, and Browse view filtering flows
through the protected virtuals directly. External code calling the
public API (e.g. node managers ported from the samples) was affected.

Changes:

- Both public overloads now copy the operation context
(`SystemContext.Copy(context)`) and delegate to the overridable
protected `IsNodeInView(ServerSystemContext, NodeId, NodeState)` helper
— the same virtual Browse filtering uses and sub-classes override. Doc
remarks name the virtual to override. `IsNodeInViewAsync` drops its
now-unneeded `async` keyword (signature unchanged).
- New regression test
`IsNodeInViewAsync_HandleWithNodeUsesOverridableIsNodeInViewAsync` runs
against the native async manager (both monitored-item manager
configurations) and against `CustomNodeManager2` behind
`AsyncNodeManagerAdapter`. It covers: known view → true, unknown view →
false, placeholder handle without node → false, the sync entry point via
`SyncNodeManager`, and — via an override hook on the testable managers —
that the public entry points genuinely route through the overridable
protected virtual. The test was verified to fail against the unfixed
code.
- The characterization test that locked in the broken sync behaviour
(`IsNodeInView_ValidatedHandleReturnsFalseFromPublicOverloadRecursion`,
flagged "not fixed here") is replaced by
`IsNodeInView_ValidatedHandleDelegatesToProtectedOverload`, asserting
the fixed behaviour.

Verified locally: all `IsNodeInView*` tests and the full node-manager
suites (484 tests) pass on net8.0; `Opc.Ua.Server` builds warning-free
on net472.

## Related Issues

Found while migrating the Views sample, whose view filtering uses the
protected sync virtuals and is unaffected.

romanett 8634a18884 Simplify server shutdown teardown (#4262)
# Description

Server shutdown had grown into roughly 500 lines of coordination
machinery in `StandardServer.OnServerStoppingAsync` and
`ServerBase.StopAsync`: a `ServerShutdownState` state machine,
request-admission-close gates, lifecycle-waiter drain coordination,
multi-stage base-resource disposal, and a large set of `ForTest` hooks.
Most of that existed to guarantee no request was still dispatching into
the address space when it was torn down. That guarantee is now provided
directly by disposing the request queue, so the surrounding machinery is
no longer needed.

## Approach

- **Run once, re-armed on restart.** `ServerBase.StopAsync` now uses a
shared-task guard (`m_stopTask ??= StopCoreAsync(...)` under a
`System.Threading.Lock`), so concurrent and repeat callers await the
same completion. `InitializeRequestQueue` (which already runs on every
start) resets the guard, re-arming shutdown for a restarted server.
- **Drain via the request queue.** Teardown disposes the request queue
first through the new `StopRequestQueue()`, which cancels in-flight
processing and waits for the workers before any NodeManager is stopped.
`RequestQueue.Dispose` is now idempotent because the queue can be
disposed both by shutdown and later by base disposal / re-init.
- **Linear teardown.** `OnServerStoppingAsync` is now short and linear:
shutdown delay, stop the registration timer, unregister from discovery,
then an ordered teardown (lifecycle begin, subscription manager, session
manager, node managers, lifecycle complete, dispose) that collects
per-stage failures into an `AggregateException`.
`Dispose`/`DisposeAsync` reduce to the same shared-task pattern.
- **Trim the lifecycle extension.** Removed the shutdown-only
request-admission members from `RequestManager` and
`RequestManagerLifecycleExtension` (admission close, admission
validation, repeat-until-idle drain). The lifecycle-waiter machinery
that live NodeManager replacement (`NodeManagerLifecycle`) still depends
on is kept intact.

Net effect is about 1500 lines removed against roughly 190 added.

## Notes for reviewers

- The drain is cancellation-based rather than a graceful wait: disposing
the queue cancels in-flight request processing and drains queued
requests to `BadServerHalted`. This is the intended behavior for
stop/dispose.
- `RequestManagerLifecycleExtension` is deliberately only partially
trimmed. Its waiter/exclusion logic is shared with
`NodeManagerLifecycle`, so only the members that were exclusive to the
old shutdown path were removed.
- The removed `ForTest` hooks drove three now-deleted test files' worth
of coordination assertions; those tests were rewritten or removed. A
minimal `BaseResourcesDisposedForTest` hook is kept for the rewritten
dispose tests.

Marc Schier 5bc8a9d705 Reduce ISession: type the continuation points, delete the obsolete validate overload (#4199)
## Stacked on #4197

Base is `marcschier/server-bind-phase`. The full stack is **#4188 →
#4193 → #4197 → this**.
GitHub retargets each base automatically as the stack merges. **Review
the earlier three
first.**

**#4217 has been merged into this branch** (squash `53dd4b618`), so the
last remaining
item from the issue — `ISession.SessionDiagnostics` — is now part of
this PR.

Closes #4187.

Refs #4203 — **does not close it.** #4217 swapped `OnUpdateDiagnostics`
onto
`m_diagnosticsLock`, but it still calls
`Variant.FromStructure(ServerDiagnostics)` with the
default `copy: false`, which wraps the *live* structure in the
`ExtensionObject`. The caller
reads its fields after the lock is released, so the lock currently
excludes nothing. #4222
adds `copy: true` and is what actually closes #4203.

## The finding that changed the approach

`ISession` has **exactly one production adapter**:
`src/Opc.Ua.Server/Session/Session.cs`.
The other `ISession` implementations in the tree are the unrelated
**client** interface
(`src/Opc.Ua.Client/Session/Session.cs`, `RedundantClientSession`) and a
migration-analyzer test stub.

One adapter means the seam is hypothetical; two means it is real. The
issue proposed
splitting `ISession` into five concern-interfaces — that would turn one
hypothetical seam
into five. The interface earns its keep for testability and because node
managers receive
it through `OperationContext`, but that argues for making it
**smaller**, not for
multiplying it.

**So: reduce, don't split.** Reasoning posted to the issue as
[comment
5226712936](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/issues/4187#issuecomment-5226712936)
so the five-way framing does not get re-proposed later.

## Measurement

38 members, 368 references. External production consumers are **4 files
using 5 members**:

| Consumer | Members used |
|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server/Sessions/DistributedSessionManager.cs` |
`Id`, `InitializeAsync`, `Dispose` |
| `Opc.Ua.Di.Server/Locking/DefaultLockService.cs` | `Id` |
| `samples/ConsoleReferenceServer/UAServer.cs` | `Id`, `Identity`,
`ReadDiagnostics` |
| `samples/Quickstarts.Servers/.../DataChangeMonitoredItem.cs` | type
reference only |

Every production caller of the five continuation-point members is inside
`Opc.Ua.Server`
(`MasterNodeManager`, `NodeManagerLifecycle`, `HistorianDispatcher`).

**`ISession` is 38 → 32 members.**

## Commits

### `882b2937` Type the history continuation point

`ISession` leaked `object` twice, against the repository rule:

```csharp
void SaveHistoryContinuationPoint(Guid id, object continuationPoint);
object? RestoreHistoryContinuationPoint(ByteString continuationPoint);
```

The erasure was **not** hiding a genuinely opaque plugin token.
`HistorianDispatcher` is the
only production caller, it always passes a `HistorianContinuationState`,
and it casts
straight back to that type on restore. The `object` was a round trip
through the type system
that bought nothing.

`HistorianContinuationState` is `internal`, so it cannot appear on a
public interface.
`IHistoryContinuationPoint` names the concept instead: it carries an
`Id` and extends
`IDisposable`.

Two latent bugs fell out of typing it:

- The session disposed only those points that **happened** to implement
`IDisposable` and
**silently leaked the rest**. Every point is now disposable by
construction, and three
  `as IDisposable` probes are gone.
- Carrying the `Id` on the point removes the separate `Guid` parameter,
which could disagree
with the payload it was filed under. The mock stores in the historian
tests had the same
  latent inconsistency.

### `0d020b77` Delete the obsolete synchronous `ValidateBeforeActivate`

**Zero production callers** — the nine references were all tests written
for it. `[Obsolete]`
since 1.5.378, which the repository rules allow removing in master.

It is also the divergent-signature problem the runtime analysis flagged:
the async form
returns the validated handler and policy as a tuple, while the sync one
took the same two
values as trailing `out` parameters, so a caller had to learn two shapes
for one operation.

The overload could not verify a user token requiring decryption, so on a
secure endpoint it
failed closed and told the caller to use the async path anyway. The one
test asserting that
fail-closed behaviour goes with the method it described; the path it
pointed at is already
covered by `ActivationValidationDecodesBinaryEncodedUserIdentityToken`.

The other eight tests are **converted, not deleted** — the channel,
signature,
security-policy and token-policy validation they cover is still
asserted, now against the
path the server actually uses.

### `821e8302` Route the continuation points behind one member

Five `ISession` members were one-line pass-throughs to
`SessionContinuationPoints`, a
419-line module that already owns the behaviour and already has its own
`IContinuationPointStore` seam. The interface restated the module's
surface without adding
anything.

```csharp
// was
session.SaveContinuationPoint(cp);
session.RestoreHistoryContinuationPoint(bytes);

// now
session.ContinuationPoints.SaveBrowse(cp);
session.ContinuationPoints.RestoreHistory(bytes);
```

The holder is `internal sealed`, so `ISessionContinuationPoints` is what
makes it
addressable.

**This is composition, not the service locator `IServerContext` refused
to be.** A subsystem
with an independent lifetime should be injected; continuation points
belong to the session
and cannot exist without it.

`InvalidateContinuationPoints` called `RemoveBrowseForManager` and
`RemoveHistoryForManager`
in sequence, so the pair becomes `RemoveForManager` — the caller's
intent is that a node
manager is going away, not that two collections need visiting.

## Tests

Three harnesses had hand-rolled a `Dictionary<Guid, object>` to stand in
for the holder. They
now use the **real** one, so the dispatcher and `BrowseNext` meet the
eviction and disposal
rules a live session actually applies.

**One hazard worth recording for future interface work.** A Moq member
that is never stubbed
returns `null`. Where the old code called a method straight on
`ISession`, that `null` was
harmless. Reaching *through* a property means an unstubbed
`ContinuationPoints` null-derefs
instead. Three tests failed exactly that way; they are wired to a real
holder, not restubbed.

| Suite | net10.0 | net48 |
|---|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 4032 passed, 1 failed | builds clean |
| Touched areas (continuation points, historian, master node manager,
session) | 898 passed | — |

The single failure is
`ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`, a
local certificate-store problem verified to reproduce unchanged at HEAD
with these changes
stashed. Not caused by this PR.

`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server`, `Opc.Ua.Di.Server`, `Quickstarts.Servers`
and
`ConsoleReferenceServer` all build clean.

## Docs

`docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains a "Removed members on ISession" section
covering the
`ValidateBeforeActivate` removal with the async replacement, and the
`IHistoryContinuationPoint` change with before/after.

## The SessionDiagnostics removal (folded in from #4217)

`ISession.SessionDiagnostics` handed out the whole mutable
`SessionDiagnosticsDataType` —
the structure the session's diagnostics lock protects — so a caller
could read a field while
the owner was writing it. Every server-side reader wanted exactly one
value out of it, so the
interface now exposes those two values (`SessionName`,
`ClientApplicationUri`) directly and
the structure stays behind the lock.

That work landed here as #4217 rather than as a separate PR, and it also
fixes #4203:
`OnUpdateDiagnostics` now takes `m_diagnosticsLock` instead of locking
the diagnostics
payload it was handed.

## Reviewer questions

- `ISessionContinuationPoints` exposes `MaxBrowse` as read-only while
the concrete holder
keeps a setter (the test framework adjusts it to exercise limits).
Should the setter be on
the interface, or is test-only mutation better left to the concrete
type?
- `RemoveForManager` collapses two removal methods. The concrete
`RemoveBrowseForManager`/`RemoveHistoryForManager` remain public on the
holder — worth
  making them private now that nothing outside calls them individually?

Marc Schier fb80bfdc82 [WotCon] Track WoT Connectivity/Binding 1.1 and add projections (Section 12) (#4182)
Follow-up to #4128, which merged the WoT Connectivity 1.1 work against
**draft2** of the companion specifications. Both drafts have moved
since, and this branch tracks them through to **draft3**, adds the
projection feature they introduced, and closes the gaps a bidirectional
re-audit found.

The specifications are the private
[`OPCF-Members/spec-drafts`](https://github.com/OPCF-Members/spec-drafts)
drafts of *OPC UA — WoT Connectivity 1.1* and *OPC UA — WoT Binding
1.1*. They are still drafts, which is why this is opened as a draft PR —
see [Status](#status) at the bottom.

## What changed in the specifications

Two revisions landed upstream while #4128 was in flight.

**draft2** replaced the `eventGroup` / `actionGroup` grouping constructs
with a single **projection / view** concept, added fifteen Section 6
vocabulary terms, and made two identifier rules normative. **draft3**
([spec PR #8](https://github.com/OPCF-Members/spec-drafts/pull/8))
un-deprecated the incorporated OPC 10100-1 v1.02 surface, restructured
the conformance clause into three profiles, and tightened two security
obligations.

The draft3 NodeSet is **structurally identical** to draft2 — I diffed
all 286 nodes node-by-node. Every change is metadata: 96
`ReleaseStatus="Deprecated"` attributes removed, `PublicationDate`
advanced, and `WOTC-ProjectionMaterialization` claimed by three Type
Nodes that previously implemented it in name only.

## Projections (WoT Binding Section 12)

The substantial addition. A projection document selects affordances from
other Thing Descriptions or Thing Models and resolves to a document of
its own; materialized, it becomes an OPC UA `View` that **creates no
affordance Node** and only `Organizes` what its sources already
materialized.

| Piece | Where |
|---|---|
| Document model and validation | `Opc.Ua.Types/Wot/WotProjection.cs`,
`WotProjectionModel.cs` |
| Four-stage resolution engine |
`Opc.Ua.Types/Wot/WotProjectionResolver.cs` |
| Materialization plan |
`Opc.Ua.WotCon.Server/Materialization/WotViewProjectionPlan.cs`,
`WotProjectionViewBuilder.cs` |
| Live address-space host | `WotProjectionViewNodeManager.cs`,
`LifecycleWotViewProjectionHost.cs`, `IWotViewProjectionHost.cs` |
| Node lookup seam | `IWotMaterializedNodeIndex.cs` |

Groups reached by `ua:Organizes` become organizational Objects rather
than nested Views, only the outermost materialization is a `View`, and a
member whose source is served by another server is omitted and reported
rather than recreated — the federation case the clause calls out.

### How this is validated

The specification publishes twenty worked examples, two of which are a
**golden pair**: a projection document and the resolved view it is
defined to produce. `WotSpecExampleTests` embeds all twenty and runs the
pair through the resolver, asserting against *the specification's own
expected output* rather than against my reading of the prose. That
single document exercises all three selection forms, the bulk naming
rule, the security closure naming and the provenance term.

This is the strongest evidence in the PR, and it is worth more than the
unit tests around it: it is the same check the upstream
`validate_local.py` performs.

## Other spec work

- **Section 6 vocabulary** — fifteen missing model and platform terms
with their validation rules (`WotNodeSetConverter.ModelVocabulary.cs`).
- **Portable identifiers** — the two rules release 1.1 made normative,
with `WotNodeSetConverterOptions.AllowNonPortableIdentifiers` as a
documented downgrade-to-warning switch for documents authored against
v1.00. Defaults to `false`.
- **xRegistry §6.9 identifier construction** (`XRegistryIdentifier.cs`)
— reverse-authority symbolic identifiers; all seven published worked
examples are test cases.

## Gaps found by re-auditing against draft3

I audited in both directions — every normative requirement to code, and
every `uav:` term in code back to a spec that defines it. Three
findings, all fixed:

1. **`Wot-Con 1.02` accepted anything well-formed.** draft3 makes format
validation part of the unit, because *WoT-Con Minimal* is one unit wide
and materialization projects a *valid* document. The 1.02 upload path
only deserialized into the `ThingDescription` POCO, which happily
accepts JSON that is not a WoT document at all — every member of that
type is optional, so `{}` deserialized and was materialized. It now
parses via `WotDocument.Parse` and requires the document to identify
itself by a non-empty `name` or `title`, returning `Bad_DecodingError`
and materializing nothing otherwise. The rule lives in
`ThingDescriptionFormatValidator` and is shared with
`CreateAssetForEndpoint`, whose auto-generated Thing Descriptions §11
also treats as untrusted input.
2. **Two `WoTFile` operations were ungated.** draft3 §11 names `Write`
and `CloseAndUpdate` alongside the five management methods; both reached
the materializer without an access check. `EnforceManagementAccess` is
now wired into `WotAssetFileManager`.
3. **Two invented `uav:` terms.** `uav:NodeSet2Preservation` was
declared and never used — removed. `uav:eventFields` is read by
`OpcUaBindingPlanner` and defined in *neither* spec, while a comment
claimed it came from OPC 10101. It still works for compatibility but is
now documented as a non-standard extension at both sites rather than
misattributed.

The SSRF prohibition is satisfied by construction: there is no HTTP
client anywhere in these assemblies, and all resolution goes through the
injected `IWotThingResolver`.

## Two ambiguities fixed in the specifications themselves

The audit turned up two places where a conforming implementer had to
invent an answer. Rather than pick silently, I took both upstream — they
are pushed to [spec-drafts PR
#8](https://github.com/OPCF-Members/spec-drafts/pull/8) (all checks
green) and are now normative in *Binding* §12.6 and *Connectivity*
§7.13:

- **`ViewVersion`** had one sentence saying only *that* it changes. It
now changes iff the resolved membership changes, is updated at commit
time alongside the `NodeVersion` stamping, and is a deterministic
function of the membership alone in a canonical order — so two servers
that resolved the same membership agree, which a per-server counter
would not across a redundant pair. Explicitly **not monotonic**: compare
for inequality only.
- **"Type-level view"** was used once in §12.2 and defined nowhere,
while every other statement of materialization was universal. §12.6 now
*defines* it rather than contradicting §12.2: the NodeClass is `View` in
both cases.

Both were already what this code did, so neither changed behaviour — but
the order-insensitivity the clause added was **not** covered by any
test, and `ViewVersionIsUnchangedWhenOnlyTheOrderOfTheMembershipChanges`
now holds it. It is mutation-verified: removing the ordinal sort turns
it red.

`docs/WotBindings.md` no longer lists these as points "the specification
leaves open".

## Validation

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` | 8525 ✅ (8518 on net48) |
| `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Tests` | 1057 ✅ (net10.0 and net48) |
| `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings.Tests` | 559 ✅ |
| `Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Tests` | 196 ✅ |
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 4027 ✅ |
| `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` | 3771 ✅ |
| `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Samples.Tests` | 9 ✅ |

The full `UA.slnx` builds with **0 errors and 0 warnings attributable to
this PR** on all 6 TFMs (`TreatWarningsAsErrors` is on).
`Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` and the source-generation suites are listed
because this PR now also touches `MasterNodeManager` and the WoT-Con
NodeSet.

## Compatibility

No public API is removed or broken. Everything added is new surface
using `ArrayOf<T>` / `ByteString` per the repo conventions, wired for DI
with a direct-construction fallback, and the one behavioural tightening
(`Wot-Con 1.02` format validation) rejects input that was never valid to
begin with.

One pre-existing issue is **not** addressed here because it came in with
#4128 and is out of scope: `WotAssetFileManager.OnCloseAndUpdate` uses
`.GetAwaiter().GetResult()`, which the repo rules ban. Worth a
follow-up.

## Landed since this PR was opened

- **DI upgraded to 1.05.0.** `ConnectsTo` was declared a subtype of
`HierarchicalReferences`, contradicting OPC 10000-100 §5.5 Table 48.
That is an upstream error in every official DI NodeSet up to 1.04,
corrected by the OPC Foundation in 1.05.0, so the fixture is replaced
with the verbatim 1.05.0 file rather than hand-patched. A guard test
pins the corrected form. This also closed a second gap: six DI types the
WoT model was missing are 1.05 additions.
- **The sample Pump has the type definition OPC 40223 declares for it.**
`Pump1.Identification` carried DI's `FunctionalGroupType` instead of
`PumpIdentificationType`. Every test, the sample documents and the
README agreed with each other about it, which is why it survived.
- **`WotPumpAddressSpaceComparisonTests`** compares this server against
`PumpDeviceIntegrationServer`, which builds the same OPC 40223 Pump from
generated NodeSets and hand-written wiring. An independent oracle rather
than a restatement of the same assumptions - it is what found the defect
above.
- **Error containment in `MaterializeProjectionViewsAsync`.** An
exception mid-loop discarded the applied View handles before they were
published, leaving View Nodes in the address space that nothing could
remove.
- **`HasWoTProjection`** is now created; it was documented and plumbed
but never wired.
- **The default in-memory View host** no longer deletes the View it has
just applied.
- **An undeclared NodeSet alias now says so.** It previously surfaced as
`IdentifierMissing`, naming neither the value nor the fact that an alias
was expected.
- **`ViewVersion` follows the algorithm the specification now states.**
My earlier spec text was rejected on review, correctly: it named neither
the function nor the canonical order it demanded, ignored that OPC
10000-3 §5.4 requires a value greater than zero, and its "when, and only
when" is unsatisfiable for a 32-bit value. §12.6 now specifies the
algorithm outright and this implementation follows it exactly, pinned by
an independently computed test vector. Implementing it surfaced a
further defect in the clause - joining members on U+000A is not
injective, because a NodeId string identifier may itself contain U+000A
- which is fixed in the specification by length-prefixing each member.
- **An auto-generated Thing Description is treated as untrusted input.**
§11 requires it; `CreateAssetForEndpoint` validated the endpoint but
handed whatever the discovery provider returned straight to the
materializer. The `Wot-Con 1.02` format rule now gates both paths from
one place.
- **Document bytes moved out of the registry snapshot** into a
content-addressed store, so a commit no longer rewrites the whole corpus
to edit one document. Writes stage and are promoted during the commit,
which preserves both durability-first ordering and the fail-closed rule
that a blob directory without a manifest means operator recovery.
Restoring streaming digest verification along the way closed a real gap:
content integrity had degenerated to a length comparison.
- **External references now reach a NodeManager registered later.** A
reference to a Node that does not exist yet is dropped rather than
queued, and the dynamic-registration path had no second phase to apply
them in, so registering a NodeSet before the one it points into lost the
forward edge permanently. Review of that change then found a state leak
in its rollback path, fixed with a red-to-green regression test.
- **`WOTC-Legacy` is renamed `Wot-Con 1.02`** in the specification and
here. Editorial: the NodeSet diff is `<Category>` values only.

## Status

Open for review. Two things may still move:

1. **The specifications are unpublished drafts.** Anything here can
change if the working group decides differently. The `ViewVersion`
definition has since been settled - §12.6 specifies the algorithm and
this follows it - but the same could happen to any other clause tracked
here.
2. **`uav:eventFields`** is kept as a documented non-standard extension.
That is a judgement call the WG may want to reverse, either by adopting
the term or removing it.

Two known items are recorded rather than fixed:

- `Pump1` has no hierarchical parent, so it is reachable by NodeId but
not by browsing down from `Objects`. The cross-NodeSet ordering defect
this was originally attributed to is fixed above, and cross-manager
references are now symmetric in both registration orders. The Pump
itself is still blocked on a different cause found while verifying that
fix: with the reference added, `DeviceSet` exists but the Pump has
**zero** inverse references, so the edge is dropped at *import* - before
any external-reference machinery runs. That is a separate defect in the
materialization path, not the one that was fixed, and it is left
recorded rather than guessed at.
- `WotAssetFileManager.OnCloseAndUpdate` uses
`.GetAwaiter().GetResult()`, which the repo rules ban. Pre-existing from
#4128 and out of scope here.

Review of the projection resolver and the materialization host is the
most valuable thing to look at; the vocabulary and identifier commits
are mechanical by comparison.

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).

## New projects

`src/Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings`, `src/Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings.Mqtt`,
`tests/Opc.Ua.WotCon.Bindings.Tests`,
`tests/Opc.Ua.WotCon.Samples.Tests`, and the `samples/WotCon`
AggregationServer, AggregationClient and FlatTagServer samples.

## 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.

Marc Schier 168b3de353 Replace the RequestManager AsyncLocal guard with an explicit operation context (#4163)
# Description

`RequestManager` tracked whether the calling flow was serving a Client
request in a `private readonly AsyncLocal<bool> m_inServiceDispatch`. It
was set by a `StandardServer.ProcessRequestAsync` override and read by
`NodeManagerLifecycle`, so that a lifecycle operation (`AddAsync` /
`ReloadAsync` / `RemoveAsync`) started from inside a request fails fast
with `InvalidOperationException` instead of draining — and therefore
waiting for — its own request.

Two problems with that mechanism, raised in review of #4093:

1. An `AsyncLocal<T>` written inside an `async` method never flows back
to the caller that awaited it, so every scope had to chain to the
previous value by hand and restore it on dispose. Subtle, and easy to
get wrong when a new entry point is added.
2. Ambient state is invisible at the call site, so the lifetime of the
mark could not be reasoned about from the code that depended on it —
especially once work is handed to a background task.

`RequestManager` also had no business carrying ambient state on behalf
of a different subsystem; its job is tracking requests for the drain.

## What changed

The guard is now an **exact identity lookup** against the request
registry `RequestManager` already maintains, and the operation is
threaded **explicitly**:

* **`RequestManager`** — `internal bool
IsExecutingRequest(IOperationContext?)` performs a reference-identity
lookup against `m_requests` under the existing `m_requestsLock`.
`m_inServiceDispatch`, `EnterServiceDispatchScope()`, the nested
`ServiceDispatchScope` class and the flag-based `IsExecutingRequest`
property are gone.
* **`StandardServer`** — the `ProcessRequestAsync` override is removed;
it existed only to open the dispatch scope.
* **`INodeManagerLifecycle`** — every member (`AddAsync` ×2 factory
kinds, `ReloadAsync` ×2, `RemoveAsync`) now takes the caller's
`IOperationContext?` directly, ahead of `CancellationToken ct =
default`. No overloads and no parallel signature are kept: the interface
is new in 2.0 and outside the 1.5.378 compatibility rule, so call sites
state their context explicitly or pass `null`.
* **`HostedNodeManagerLifecycle`** and
**`RuntimeNodeSetLifecycleExtensions`** thread the argument through;
`AddRuntimeNodeSetAsync` / `ReloadRuntimeNodeSetAsync` remain single
methods.
* **`SystemContextOperationExtensions.GetOperationContext(this
ISystemContext)`** (new, `Opc.Ua.Core`) lets a NodeManager or Method
callback hand over the operation it already received without
downcasting. It switches on `SessionSystemContext` and `SystemContext`,
the two independent roots every context derives from. No new interface
is introduced: casting the context to `IOperationContext` would not do,
because a context implements that by delegating to the operation it was
created for, so the cast yields the context rather than the operation.
* **`NodeManagerLifecycle.EnsureNotRequestCallback`** no longer consults
`ServerState`. The previous `CurrentState == Running` predicate could
let a genuinely re-entrant call slip past while the server was shutting
down; the request registry answers exactly in every state.

A NodeManager or Method callback now reads:

```csharp
await m_lifecycle.ReloadAsync(m_registration, replacement, context.GetOperationContext(), ct);
```

and a control-plane caller (hosted service, DI consumer) passes `null`.

## Behaviour

Unchanged for the case the guard exists to catch: a lifecycle call made
on behalf of an executing request is still rejected up front with the
same `InvalidOperationException` and the same message.

Two deliberate differences:

* **Improvement** — an internal `OperationContext` that was never
enrolled as a Client request is now correctly allowed through. The
boolean flag could not distinguish it from a real request.
* **Accepted trade-off** — a caller inside a request that passes no
operation is no longer detected at entry and falls back to the
pre-existing bounded `RequestManager.RequestDrainTimeout`, which already
covered any request that bypassed the service pipeline. Automatic
detection for an uncooperative caller inherently requires ambient state,
which is exactly what this change removes. Documented in
`docs/NodeManagers.md`.

## Alternatives considered and rejected

| Alternative | Why rejected |
| --- | --- |
| Delete the guard, rely only on `RequestDrainTimeout` | Turns a clear
immediate error into a multi-minute hang. |
| Infer the caller from the `CancellationToken` it passes | Works only
for the exact request token, breaks on linked tokens; ambient magic of a
different kind. |
| In-flight callback counter on `MasterNodeManager` | False positives:
rejects legitimate control-plane calls whenever any request is
concurrently dispatching. |
| Defer the drain to a background task so re-entrancy cannot deadlock |
The drains are woven into transactional commit / rollback and binding
reconciliation; deferring them breaks the transactional guarantees. |
| `Activity.Current` / `ThreadLocal` | The same ambient magic the issue
asks to remove. |

## Testing

* `RequestManagerTests` — the three `EnterServiceDispatchScope` tests
are replaced by coverage for `IsExecutingRequest(context)`: null,
never-registered, only-while-scope-open, visible across an `await` and a
background `Task.Run`, and two concurrently executing requests not
confusing each other.
* `NodeManagerLifecycleTests` — rejection from an executing request for
Add / Reload / Remove without invoking the factory, acceptance for a
context that is not an executing request, acceptance once the request
has completed, and the full callback shape
(`ServerSystemContext.Copy(operation)` → `GetOperationContext()` →
rejected).
* `HostedNodeManagerLifecycleTests` — forwarding tests for the
caller-context argument on all five members.
*
`tests/Opc.Ua.Core.Tests/Stack/State/SystemContextOperationExtensionsTests.cs`
(new) — `GetOperationContext` across both context roots and the
null-argument guard.

Marc Schier 636912bd4c Harden subscription retirement after #4114 and refresh the client namespace table on model change (#4115)
# Description

Two things, both surfaced by the live NodeManager registration work in
#4094.

> **Rebased on #4114.** Upstream landed #4114 (`cc4667d0b`) while this
PR was open; it fixes the
> same #4113 root cause. `origin/master` is merged in and the conflicts
were resolved **in favour of
> the upstream API shape** — `CompleteAsync(IMessageProcessor, uint
subscriptionId, ct)` with the
> last known server id passed as an argument. The
`IMessageProcessor.LastServerId` member this
> branch had added is dropped again. What remains here is the orthogonal
hardening #4114 does not
> cover, plus all of the #4100 work.

## 1. Remaining subscription-retirement hardening (on top of #4114)

#4114 fixed the id-collision itself. Three related holes in the same
paths are still open:

- **Retirement was not atomic with removal.** `RetireSubscriptionId` is
now called *under*
`m_subscriptionLock` from both `CompleteAsync` and
`RemoveSecondaryPartitionAsync`. `GetById`
resolves incoming publish responses under the same lock, so a worker
could otherwise observe the
subscription as removed while its id had not yet reached the retired-id
ring — and send a
redundant `DeleteSubscriptions` for an already-retired id.
`RemoveSecondaryPartitionAsync` did not
  record the retired id at all.
- **The retired-id ring was far too small.** `kMaxSubscriptionHistory`
10 → 256, so subscription
  churn cannot evict live history.
- **The orphan delete was unguarded.** The publish worker no longer
sends `DeleteSubscriptions` for
an unresolved id while any subscription is still awaiting its id. A
publish response can overtake
the `CreateSubscription` continuation that assigns the id, and deleting
in that window kills a
healthy subscription. Leaving a genuine orphan alive until its lifetime
expires is the safe
  trade-off.
- **`PublishControllerAsync` lost resize signals.** It re-created its
`AsyncAutoResetEvent` waiter on
every loop iteration; the abandoned waiter stayed enqueued and swallowed
a later `Set()`, so the
publish worker pool stopped resizing. This is a second, latent
starvation path independent of the
id collision. The wait is now created once and only re-armed after it
completes.

## 2. Managed client does not refresh the namespace table on model
change (#4100)

`NodeManagerLifecycle.NotifyCommittedChangeAsync` updates
`NamespaceArray`, bumps `UrisVersion`, and
then reports a **`BaseModelChangeEvent`** — an event shape that carries
no `Changes` payload. The
client tracker *did* observe it and cleared the `INodeCache`, but it
held only an
`IStreamingSubscription`, an `INodeCache` and an `ILogger`, so nothing
could re-read the namespace
table. A tracking client therefore resolved NodeIds from a namespace
added by a live NodeManager
registration against a stale `NamespaceUris` table.

- **New `INamespaceTableRefresher`** (`NamespaceUris` +
`FetchNamespaceTablesAsync`). The member
signatures match what `Session` and `ManagedSession` already expose, so
both satisfy the interface
without any new members. `ISession` is deliberately left untouched —
moving its members onto a base
  interface would be a binary break for 1.5.378 consumers.
- **`ModelChangeTracker`** takes the refresher as an optional *trailing*
constructor argument, which
keeps every existing call site source-compatible and makes `null` the
opt-out. A refresh runs when
the event carries no per-node detail, when an affected node is
`Server_NamespaceArray`, or when an
affected namespace index is beyond the client's table. It runs
**before** the cache is invalidated
and before `ModelChanged` is raised, so subscribers that re-browse from
the handler already see the
  new uris. A failing refresh is logged and swallowed.
- **`ModelChangedEventArgs.NamespaceTableRefreshed`** reports the
refresh to applications.
- **`ManagedSession.EnableModelChangeTrackingAsync`** wires the session
in, so opting into tracking
is all an application has to do — no new option, no change to the
positional `CreateAsync`
  signature.
- **`ModelChange.TypeDefinition`** changes from `NodeId?` to `NodeId`.
`NodeId` is a readonly struct
implementing `INullable` and must not be wrapped in
`System.Nullable<T>`; use `NodeId.Null` and
`IsNull` instead. The type is 2.0-preview only (absent from 1.5.378),
and the only producer is the
tracker itself, which already assigns a non-null `AffectedType`. Per
review feedback the type is
also now a `readonly record struct`, matching `DataValueChange` /
`EventNotification`.

## Tests

Every new regression test was run against a temporarily re-introduced
defect and **fails** there:

| Test | Covers |
|---|---|
|
`CompleteAsyncRetiresOnlyTheCompletedSubscriptionWhenOthersArePendingCreationAsync`
| retire-by-identity (also guards #4114's fix) |
| `CompleteAsyncRemembersRetiredServerIdAfterIdWasResetAsync` |
retired-id history |
|
`PublishWorkerDefersDeletingUnknownSubscriptionWhileCreationIsPendingAsync`
| orphan-delete guard |
| `PublishControllerKeepsResizingAfterWorkersExitAsync` |
publish-controller signal loss |
| `ConcurrentAddAndCompleteRetireOnlyCompletedSubscriptionsAsync` |
parallel add/retire registry integrity |
| `ConcurrentSubscriptionChurnNeverStarvesASubscription` (integration) |
#4113 repro against the reference server |
| 7 × `ModelChangeTrackerTests` namespace-refresh cases | each trigger,
no-trigger, throwing refresher, `null` refresher, ordering |
| `LiveNodeManagerAddRefreshesTheClientNamespaceTable` (integration) |
#4100 repro — times out without the wiring |

`FakeMessageAckQueue` records both the completed id (upstream's
assertions) and the completing
instance (the identity assertion in `MessageProcessorTests`), so neither
side's coverage was lost in
the merge.

Results after merging `origin/master`:

- `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` — **2119/2119** pass on net10.0; the new
`ModelChange` and
  `SubscriptionManager` fixtures also pass on **net48**.
- `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests` churn + coverage fixtures — **28/28**
(net10.0); churn fixture also
  passes on net48.
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` `NodeManagerLifecycle*` — **49/49** on net10.0;
the new fixture also passes
  on net48.
- No new analyzer warnings; only the three pre-existing `CA1873` hits in
`NodeCacheResolver.cs` and
  `ClassicSubscriptionEngine.cs` (untouched files) remain.

## Documentation

- `docs/ModelChangeTracking.md` — new **Namespace table refresh**
section with the trigger table,
updated `ModelChangedEventArgs` / `ModelChange` snippets, updated
manual-construction snippet, and
  a quick-reference row.
- `docs/NodeManagerRegistration.md` — client-side half of the
**Namespaces** section.

No `docs/migrationguide.md` entry: every changed type is either
`internal` or 2.0-preview-only.

Marc Schier 275c3800b5 [Server] Add live NodeManager lifecycle support (#4094)
# Description

Adds supported live add, reload, and remove lifecycle operations for
NodeManager instances on a running server.

The change introduces a DI-backed `INodeManagerLifecycle` service with
direct `StandardServer` access, generation-aware registration handles,
copy-on-write routing, transactional prepare/commit/rollback, runtime
NodeSet convenience APIs, append-only namespace updates, model and
semantic change notifications, additive-compatible complex type priming,
and complete teardown behavior.

Lifecycle publication is coordinated with requests, sessions,
subscriptions, monitored items, continuation points, and shutdown so
retired managers cannot remain reachable or be disposed while still in
use. Compatible monitored items transfer to replacement generations
without a transient bad status. Removed or incompatible Nodes publish
`BadNodeIdUnknown` as required by OPC UA Part 4 section 5.8.4.1, retain
their MonitoredItem identity, and automatically recover when a
compatible Node with the same NodeId returns.

Registration is documented end to end in the new
[docs/NodeManagerRegistration.md](docs/NodeManagerRegistration.md),
which covers compile-time, startup, and runtime registration together
with the guarantees for MonitoredItems, Browse continuation points,
namespace indexes, DataTypes, and change notifications.
## Review feedback addressed

Interface surface reduced, as requested:

- `INodeManagerMonitoredItemTracker` folded into
`ISubscriptionMonitoredItemLifecycle`.
- `INodeManagerMutationCoordinator` and the asynchronous MonitoredItem
recovery entry point folded into `IDynamicNodeManagerHost`.
- `ISessionClosingRegistry` folded into `IServerInternal`, then replaced
by `ISession.IsClosing`.
- `ISubscriptionDeletionRegistry` folded into `ISubscriptionManager`,
then removed entirely.
- `INodeManagerContinuationPointTracker` folded into `ISession`.
- The synchronous recovery entry point kept on its own
`ISyncNodeManagerMonitoredItemRecovery`, because `AddPredefinedNode`
cannot await; it still routes through the asynchronous
`INodeManagerMonitoredItemLifecycle` that `AsyncNodeManagerAdapter`
exposes.
- `IMonitoredItemLifecycle` renamed to `IDetachableMonitoredItem`.

Reach into the Subscription area reduced to the minimum the feature
needs:

- The lifecycle feature itself leaves `SubscriptionManager` almost
untouched: two guards that reject a request from a Session that is
closing, on `CreateSubscription` and on `TransferSubscriptions`, because
it would create state that is about to be torn down. The deletion claim
registry, the session closing gates, the closed-session bookkeeping and
the deletion restore paths introduced by earlier revisions are gone.
Transferring a subscription away from a session that is closing stays
allowed, since that is the recovery path the service exists for; the
race that exposed is fixed by serialising source-queue closure with the
transfer rather than by rejecting it.
- Queueing is disabled again for a MonitoredItem with `QueueSize <= 1`,
as before this PR. Without a queue the Client is served the last sampled
value, so the missing-Node notification simply becomes that value;
losing values is expected for a MonitoredItem without queuing.
- What remains of the notification is one `DataValue` plus one bool in
`DataChangeQueueHandler`, mirroring the existing overflow pair, which
stops it being the value discarded when a configured queue is full.
- `MonitoredItem` keeps its original publish path, its original queue
creation and restore paths, its original triggering behaviour, and no
per-epoch bookkeeping.
- `IStoredMonitoredItem` carries `IsDeleted` and `IsDetached`, so a
restored item reports the state it was stored with rather than one
inferred from the last value's StatusCode.

Other feedback:

- Documented `HostedNodeManagerLifecycle`, `IDynamicNodeManagerHost`,
`NodeManagerRoutingTable`, and the `RequestManager` validation and
request scopes.
- Renamed `ValidateMonitoredItemAsync` to `CanAttachMonitoredItemAsync`
and `RestoreMonitoredItemAsync` to `RecoverMonitoredItemAsync`, so the
lifecycle API no longer collides with the durable Subscription
`RestoreMonitoredItem` path used at server startup.
- Removed the `CustomNodeManager2` dependency from the synchronous
MonitoredItem recovery path.
- `DataChangeQueueHandler` is back to the two constructors 1.5.378
shipped, each taking an optional `TimeProvider`.
- Session closing is a one-way latch, and the Session is removed even
when teardown throws.
- Documented what a custom NodeManager has to implement to take part in
live lifecycle operations, and which NodeManager implements
`INodeManagerReloadParticipant` today.

## Fixes found during review

- The guard that stops a NodeManager lifecycle operation being started
from inside a service handler never fired. It was backed by an
`AsyncLocal` written inside `async ValidateRequestAsync`, which is
invisible to the caller that awaited it, so a lifecycle call from a
NodeManager callback waited for its own request and held the lifecycle
semaphore forever. The mark is now applied by the service dispatcher,
and the drain is bounded so no path can wedge the lifecycle permanently.
- `ValidateRequestAsync` is no longer virtual. An override that rejected
a request after calling `base` left it registered forever; subclasses
now use `OnRequestValidatedAsync`, whose failures complete the request.
- A MonitoredItem deleted and disposed while a reload was handing it to
the replacement NodeManager could be attached anyway. The item now
reserves itself for the hand-over and the transition takes it back if it
was disposed meanwhile.
- The Overflow bit is recorded and applied when the value is published,
as the surrounding design does, rather than written into the value at
enqueue time.
- MonitoredItem cleanup for a Subscription being deleted no longer
passes null entries to `DeleteMonitoredItemsAsync`.
- Browse continuation points of a retired NodeManager are persisted and
disposed outside the Session lock.

## Open review discussions

Three threads are open, replied to and awaiting reviewer decisions:
separating service-call dispatch from NodeManager handling in
`MasterNodeManager` (tracked as #4098), the request-scoping shape in
`StandardServer`, and how much of the async MonitoredItem service
implementation should stay in `Subscription`.

Issue #4102 records a specification ambiguity found while implementing
the missing-Node notification: Part 4 §5.8.4.1 makes it mandatory, but
the protected over-capacity queue entry §5.13.1.5 defines applies to
`EventQueueOverflowEventType` only, so the specification does not say
how it survives a full queue.

## Validation

- Full `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` on net10.0: 3,768 passed, 5 skipped.
- Lifecycle, MonitoredItem, Subscription and continuation point suites:
185 passed on net10.0 and 75 on net48.
- Server builds complete with zero warnings or errors.
- Two failures are pre-existing and unrelated:
`DurableDataValueQueueVerifyReferenceBatchingAsync` (flaky
`BatchPersistor` file contention, passes in isolation on net10.0 and
net48) and
`ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`
(fails on a clean tree with these changes stashed).

Marc Schier 15e795bbed Fix #4061: invalidate component cache on runtime node add/remove (#4068)
## Summary

Fixes #4061.

`AsyncCustomNodeManager` kept its component cache (`m_componentCache`,
populated when monitored items / registered nodes resolve through the
manager) out of sync with runtime address-space changes:

- `RemovePredefinedNodeAsync` (the delete path) never evicted the
removed node, so a deleted node stayed resolvable through the cache.
- A re-registered / replaced `NodeId` kept pointing at the stale
instance.

For a dynamic-composition consumer (recompose = delete + re-add) this
surfaced as a Browse/Read/Call served a stale, pre-change view — the
runtime-added child intermittently missing while the pre-add set (or a
removed node) lingered.

## Fix

- `RemovePredefinedNodeAsync` force-evicts the removed node from the
component cache.
- `IndexPredefinedNode` / `ReplacePredefinedNode` refresh the cached
instance on re-registration (reference count preserved).
- `CreateNodeAsync` / `AddNodeAsync` / `DeleteNodeAsync` (both
convenience and service overloads) refresh the parent's cached view
after a runtime child add/remove — covering both the runtime and
predefined-node registration paths.
- `NodeState.AddChild` now sets the `Children` change mask inside the
children lock so the mask is published together with the mutation.

The component-cache helpers are additive and NativeAOT-safe. The runtime
async paths use async waits — `RefreshParentComponentCacheAsync` /
`InvalidateComponentCacheAsync` (`await
m_componentCacheSemaphore.WaitAsync(cancellationToken)`) — while the
genuinely synchronous registration/upgrade paths (`IndexPredefinedNode`
via `AddPredefinedNodeSynchronously`, `ReplacePredefinedNode`) keep a
synchronous `RefreshComponentCache` that matches the existing
synchronous cache helpers on the type. All are `private`.

## Tests

- Manager-level regression tests (`AsyncCustomNodeManagerTests.cs`):
delete-eviction, replace-refresh, and
browse-of-a-runtime-added-child-from-an-already-cached-parent (the
reporter's explicitly requested framework coverage).
- End-to-end test (`MasterNodeManagerNodeManagementTests.cs`): registers
a real `AsyncCustomNodeManager` in a `MasterNodeManager` over the
`StandardServer` fixture, caches a parent, runtime-adds a child, and
browses through the full master dispatch (Forward /
HierarchicalReferences / IncludeSubtypes), asserting the child is
visible and then gone after delete.

## Validation

- `net10.0` and `net48`: full `AsyncCustomNodeManager` suite +
`MasterNodeManagerNodeManagement` suite green, no regressions.

## Docs

- Browse-consistency note added to `docs/ModelChangeTracking.md`.

Alexander Köpke a568a7e54c Set ContinuationPoint (when browse is finished) to null instead of empty array, align with existing 1.5.xxx behavior (#4057)
This pull request standardizes the handling of the `ContinuationPoint`
property in `BrowseResult` objects, ensuring it is always explicitly set
to `null` (or its equivalent) when no continuation point is present.
This change improves clarity and consistency in both the implementation
and the tests, replacing checks for an "empty" continuation point with
checks for a "null" continuation point.

**Codebase consistency and correctness:**

* All `BrowseResult` objects now explicitly set `ContinuationPoint =
default` when no continuation point is to be returned, ensuring
consistent initialization.

`IsEmpty` to check for the absence of a continuation point, reflecting
the new contract.

romanett 537b10c8b3 Fix History User Access Levels and add CTT coverage nodes (#4026)
# Description

Improve Reference Server coverage for OPC UA Compliance Test Tool
scenarios and document the latest CTT findings.

## Reference Server coverage

- Historize the configured AccessRights nodes and seed them with the
same deterministic mixed-quality history as the other test nodes while
preserving their access controls.
- Add a historian node that intentionally does not support
ServerTimestamp.
- Add a SelectionListType String instance whose Selections property is
String[] as required by Part 5, with localized descriptions and
RestrictToList enforcement.
- Add an EUR CurrencyUnit property and verify its structured value and
binary encoding.
- Add a node with explicit read/write base access bits plus
NonatomicRead and NonatomicWrite AccessLevelEx flags.
- Ensure the first ByteString array elements meet the CTT minimum-length
prerequisite.

## Latest CTT findings

- Confirm run-23 A&C residuals are CTT re-entrant Read and
branch-unaware Retain checks rather than server regressions.
- Confirm NumberOfTransitions includes Uncertain values as required by
Part 13.
- Document the CTT CurrencyUnit decoder dropping a correctly encoded
Exponent.

## Related Issues

- Follow-up to #3960 and #4002.

MrAlaskan 399747f6a0 fix: don't return continuation points on BadNoContinuationPoints (#4022)
### Summary

This PR fixes `Browse` and `BrowseNext` so they do not return a usable
continuation point when the server reports `BadNoContinuationPoints`,
and adds regression tests that cover both code paths.

### Problem

According to OPC UA Part 4, if the server cannot allocate another
continuation point for a `Browse` or `BrowseNext` operation, the result
should be `Bad_NoContinuationPoints`. In that case, the server must not
also return a continuation point that the client can continue to use.

Previously, `MasterNodeManager.FetchReferencesAsync()` could return
`BadNoContinuationPoints` while still passing a live continuation point
object back to its callers. `BrowseAsync()` then copied that
continuation point into the result, producing a contradictory response
with `StatusCode = BadNoContinuationPoints` and a non-empty
`ContinuationPoint`. `BrowseNextAsync()` went further and overwrote the
error with `Good` whenever a continuation point object was still
present. That behavior hides continuation-point quota exhaustion and
breaks the expected paging semantics.

### Changes

- Dispose and clear the continuation point when `FetchReferencesAsync()`
hits the no-continuation-points path.
- Only copy a continuation point into `Browse` and `BrowseNext` results
when the operation completed successfully.
- Add deterministic regression tests that verify both `Browse` and
`BrowseNext` return `BadNoContinuationPoints` without a continuation
point when the continuation-point quota is exhausted.

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

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

## Aggregate run 16

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

## Multi-dimensional Variant matrices

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

## Node Management AddNodes

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

## Historical Access and Attribute Services run 18

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

## Base Information model validation run 19

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

- Follow-up to #3960 and #3978.

## Checklist

- [x] I have signed the CLA and read the CONTRIBUTING document.
- [x] Tests prove the fixes and improve coverage.
- [x] Required CTT documentation is updated.
- [x] Focused builds/tests introduce no warnings.
- [x] Affected tests pass on .NET Framework and .NET 10.
- [ ] CI and CodeQL are green.
- [ ] All PR feedback is addressed.



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

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

## Base synchronization

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

## Latest validation

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