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. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-09 13:00:49 +02:00
romanettandClaude Opus 5.5	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. ## Related Issues - Fixes #4439 ## Checklist - [ ] I have signed the [CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf) and read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) doc. - [ ] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works and increased code coverage. - [x] I have added all necessary documentation. - [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or analyzer warnings. - [ ] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed. - [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and **all** CodeQL warnings. - [ ] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5	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. ## Checklist - [x] I have signed the [CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf) and read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) doc. - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works and increased code coverage. - [ ] I have added all necessary documentation. - [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or analyzer warnings. - [ ] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed. - [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and **all** CodeQL warnings. - [ ] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-03 05:42:01 +02:00
5 people	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, Client.ComplexTypes, Server, Sessions, Gds, History, Features, Redundancy.Server, PubSub, WotCon and WotCon.Bindings. Core hit its known intermittent end-of-run hang once, and reruns were clean. - The `Spec: #…` fixes were verified per group on their own suites. Those include PubSub.Udp, Redundancy.PubSub, PubSub.Server, Configuration and SourceGeneration.Core. - **Not yet built or tested on this base.** It was rebased onto master (resolving overlaps with #4522, #4540 and #4564) and then onto #4569. This PR stays a draft until the full run on this base is green. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: marcschier <11168470+marcschier@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Marc Schier <marcschier@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-09-29 11:14:15 +00:00
Marc Schier	57c0a32ed4	Fix incomplete-message buffering and channel cleanup (#4522) ... # Description Fix incomplete-message buffering, channel cleanup, session resource accounting, and enforcement of existing transport admission settings. - Share a targeted `ChunkReassemblyBudget` across server listeners. The reference default is 64 MiB, with a 32 MiB global occupancy threshold for sessionless intermediate chunks. This is priority headroom for activated sessions, not a guaranteed bootstrap partition. Single/final chunks and unrelated response/client buffers remain outside this budget. - Retain precise incoming/final payload quotas, valid Abort handling without channel teardown, terminal late-final rejection, and exactly-once buffer/reservation cleanup. - Use one assembly timer per quota/clock scope, asynchronous cleanup, a fixed deadline, a 30-second fallback for non-positive lifetimes, and best-effort ERR `BadTimeout` before closure. - Apply negotiated TCP/WebSocket/Pipe receive limits and size pipe rentals to actual chunks. - Add the optional `ISessionBindingProvider` and immutable `SessionBindingContext` seam. Managed membership counts distinct committed sessions, not responses, and handles reactivation, transfer, closure, expiry, restoration and shutdown. Read-only snapshots require token/channel/security validation and never replace service authorization. - Wire default and explicitly injected binding providers through raw TCP, Kestrel and UACP WebSockets; preserve existing callback/manager interfaces and direct construction. - Enforce existing `ConnectionRateLimiter` and channel capacity settings on Kestrel TCP and UACP WebSocket admission, with physical-transport leases surviving reverse handoff and releasing on cancellation, close, failed attachment and stop. HTTP/JSON requests are not treated as UASC channels. - Add regression coverage and documentation. Stabilize the CI cancellation test by waiting for the resolver to enter before canceling. This is the foundation only. New Balanced/FairShare/TrustedReservations policies, tenant isolation and guaranteed bootstrap reserves belong in the separate stacked follow-up, not this PR. ## Related Issues Fixes #4521. ## Validation | Scope | Result | | --- | --- | | Core transport, budget, binding-context and DI tests, net10.0 | 717 passed | | Core transport, budget, binding-context and DI tests, net48 | 664 passed, 6 platform-specific skips | | Session bindings, transfer/security/expiry/restore and hosted DI, net10.0 | 69 passed | | Same focused Server suite, net48 | 69 passed | | ServerRedundancyHandlerTests, Release/net48 | 39 passed | | ConsoleReferenceServer net10.0 | Build succeeded, zero warnings/errors | | Server and HTTPS binding netstandard2.1 | Both builds succeeded, zero warnings/errors | The new admission fixtures also passed five repeated runs after correcting asynchronous connection-context disposal.

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. ## Related Issues - Fixes #4476 ## Checklist - [ ] I have signed the [CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf) and read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) doc. - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works and increased code coverage. - [x] I have added all necessary documentation. - [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or analyzer warnings. - [ ] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed. - [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and **all** CodeQL warnings. - [x] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received.	2026-09-16 04:42:09 +00:00
4 people	aad8350bc1	Pluggable symmetric cryptography, an awaitable asymmetric path, registrable security policies, and PubSub crypto offboarding (#4206, #4207, #4208, #4210) (#4232) ... # Description Closes the three crypto-offboarding follow-ups split out of #4192. Each was recorded there as knowingly *not* done, with the reason and what would justify revisiting it. Those conditions are met, and where one of them turned out to be unachievable that is written down rather than worked around. The safety property throughout: **every seam is opt-in and null-checked, and in the default software configuration the added code is observably inert.** No interface dispatch on the per-message path, and the asynchronous paths complete synchronously — so channel locking order, buffer ownership and error sequencing are unchanged for a deployment that configures nothing. ## #4207 — symmetric, key-derivation and RNG provider seams `ISymmetricCryptoProvider`, `IKeyDerivationProvider` and `ISecureRandomSource`, added on the terms #4207 set: only once a concrete requirement arrived (a validated module that must perform *every* operation, not just the asymmetric ones), behind a fast path, with `SymmetricChannelCryptoBenchmarks` as the gate. They are **facets discovered by type test**, not members of `ICryptoProvider`, so providers written against the shipped interface still compile. `PlatformCryptoProvider` implements all three, which answers the "an interface nothing implements" objection recorded in the issue. `CryptoProviderFacets` returns `null` both when no registry is configured *and* when resolution lands on the platform, because the platform facets are the inline code. Resolution happens once, in `CalculateSymmetricKeySizes`, and is held for the life of the channel. `CryptoCompliance.GetUnservedOperationPurposes` closes the failure the seam would otherwise introduce: a provider bound to `ChannelSymmetric` without implementing the facet is silently replaced by the platform, so a deployment could believe its validated module performed the per-message cryptography while the platform did. Under `FipsOnly` that now refuses to start. ## #4208 — the asymmetric path is awaitable `RSA` and `ECDsa` are .NET's contracts and cannot be replaced without making every ready-made hardware and cloud implementation unusable. Instead an implementation may **also** declare `IAsyncRsaKey` / `IAsyncEcdsaKey`, which the stack finds by type test. Now asynchronous: the secure channel open and renew path, user identity token signing and decryption, and session activation. A software key declares neither facet, so those paths complete synchronously and nothing about their ordering changes. `ReadAsymmetricMessage` is refactored into shared helpers rather than duplicated — adding an `await` was not worth two hundred cloned lines of signature, padding and endpoint-selection logic. `AsymmetricMessage` / `AsymmetricWriteResult` exist because an asynchronous method cannot have `out` parameters. The channel no longer serialises its state on a monitor. A monitor cannot be held across an `await`, and a plain `SemaphoreSlim` was not an option at the time: the code relied on re-entrancy in eight places (`HandleIncomingMessage` holds the lock and calls `ForceChannelFault`, which takes it again; `ForceReconnect` and `Shutdown` do the same). `ChannelGate` replaces it at 32 sites and `DataLock` is `[Obsolete]`. That reliance has since been removed as well — see [Removing the gate's re-entrancy](#removing-the-gates-re-entrancy) below. ### Defects this surfaced, all fixed and regression-tested **Detached work started inline.** Writes were started with `_ = WriteBuffersAsync(...)`. An async method runs its prologue on the caller's stack, so `LeaveInheritedContext` — which exists to stop *detached* work inheriting the right to re-enter the gate — was stripping the **caller's own** entitlement; when the send then completed synchronously, the completion blocked on a gate that very thread was holding. The client sent its OpenSecureChannel request and never processed the response. Writes are now queued. **A synchronous gate handle held across an `await`.** `Enter()` records the acquiring thread so an inline completion callback can re-enter — `ChannelAsyncOperation` invokes its callback both inline and detached. That record is only sound while the holder is synchronously on that thread; the token renewal path held it across an await, so a reused pool thread was recognised as the holder. **`SignAsync` rejected the policy that signs nothing.** It validated the certificate before the algorithm, so `SecurityPolicies.None` — which carries no certificate — threw where the synchronous `Sign` returns `null`. **`EnterAsync` lost the holder when contended** *(found in review)*. The `AsyncLocal` recording ownership was written inside the awaiting method, and .NET restores the caller's execution context when an async method completes, so the write was discarded. The caller returned owning the semaphore while `IsHeldByCurrentContext` reported `false` — and any nested `Enter()` then blocked forever on a gate its own context held. Reachable remotely: `HandleIncomingMessageAsync` → error path → `ForceChannelFault`. The holder is now published from the caller's frame before the wait, and only its depth is raised in the continuation. **Queued writes lost their order** *(found in review)*. Sequence numbers are assigned under the gate, but independently queued work items reach the transport's FIFO send lock in arbitrary order, so a peer could reject a chunk with `BadSequenceNumberInvalid`. Writes are now appended to a chain: still off the caller's stack, but a write cannot start before its predecessor finishes. ### Four more this surfaced in CI, on paths only the integration suites reach Queuing the writes to fix the deadlock above turned out to have moved three implicit guarantees, and the gate had one more liveness bug. Each was reproduced locally against a clean baseline before it was changed. **A faulting channel's error message never reached the peer.** A listener channel sends a UASC `Error` describing why it faulted and closes the transport as its next statement. That worked only because the write started on the caller's stack, so the bytes reached the socket first; queued, the close discarded them and the client saw `BadConnectionClosed` instead of the certificate status it was told to expect. Nine `SecurityCertValidationTests` cases assert exactly that status. The terminal error is written inline again, on a path that touches the gate only to disclaim what it inherited and reports nothing — a channel that is already faulted is owed nothing beyond its buffer. **The certificate of a rejected sender leaked.** An asynchronous method cannot have `out` parameters, so the asymmetric read returns a record instead. That silently dropped an ownership guarantee: an `out` parameter reaches the caller even when the method goes on to throw, so the caller's `catch` disposed the sender certificate and reported it to the audit. A return value does not — nine leaked certificates, one per rejection case, which the leak detector fails the run on. The parsed certificate is now handed to the caller before anything that can reject the message, restoring both the disposal and the audit. **The gate could strand its own permit.** It released only when the holder's depth returned to zero, but that depth lives in an `AsyncLocal` and is therefore shared with every context forked from the owner's — a timer callback whose timer was created inside the region, for instance. Such a context entering the gate raised the shared depth, so the owner's own exit saw a non-zero depth and returned without releasing, and nothing afterwards could: the nested exit is not the owner. Every later entry on that channel blocked forever. `Opc.Ua.Features.Tests` hung after its tests had finished, with a receive loop waiting on the gate and the server unable to stop. The owner now releases when it leaves; depth still gates re-entrancy, but liveness no longer depends on a count another context can move. **Write completion throttled the writer.** Reporting a completed write sat inside the ordering chain, and the client channel implements that callback by entering the gate — so every write queued behind a gate the receive loop contends for on each incoming chunk. A session with fifty subscriptions publishing continuously had its publish requests throttled enough that the client kept topping them up past its own limit, which `Subscriptions.Classic` asserts against. Completion is now reported off the chain, which covers only what ordering actually requires. ### Still synchronous, and why Certificate, certificate request and revocation list signing cannot be made asynchronous at all: `X509SignatureGenerator.SignData` is invoked by .NET's own builders. Service faults and the `Reconnect` override are reached from synchronous call sites (`SendServiceFault` alone has eight) and are left as they are behind scoped, commented suppressions. All three are documented rather than left to be rediscovered. ## #4210 — PubSub This one produced a finding rather than the API the issue asked for, and the finding is the point: > **With a standard Security Key Service the key necessarily exists in process memory.** `GetSecurityKeys` (Part 14 §8.3.2) returns raw key bytes over the wire, so the "key never leaves the device" property #4192 achieved for client and server **cannot** be achieved for PubSub through the SKS pull profile. That is a property of the specification, not of this stack. A wrapped-key envelope would change what is on the wire and break interoperability with third-party key services and publishers, so it was rejected rather than built. What is achievable is delivered: the per-message AES-CTR and HMAC route through `ISymmetricCryptoProvider`, so a validated module performs them. `IPubSubSecurityPolicy` is **not** modified — new members would break every implementation of it; the provider is supplied through the policy constructor. `PlatformSymmetricCryptoProvider` gained AES counter mode, which the seam should have covered anyway since the algorithm enum names it. Key lifetime is also tightened: unpacking an SKS response copied key material into intermediates that `ByteString.Create` then copied again, leaving plain keys in the heap for the lifetime of the process. Those are now zeroed. ### Two wiring gaps this depended on, both found in review The registrations above were **inert**, so this section originally claimed more than the code did: - `CryptoProviderConfiguration` was applied nowhere outside tests, so `AddCryptoProvider(configure)` never reached the registry in a real host. The registry now applies every registered configuration when it is first resolved — which also affects #4207's DI story. - `PubSubSecurityWrapperResolver` selected `PubSubAes256CtrPolicy.Instance`, the provider-less static singleton, ignoring the provider-backed bundles registered for it. A `FipsOnly` deployment therefore certified while the platform did the work. The resolver now selects from the registered policies; the container and `PubSubApplicationBuilder` both supply theirs. A third, smaller one: `CryptoProviderBuilder.Use` published a **policy-scoped** random source as the process-wide nonce source, so `.For(purpose, policyUri).Use(hsm)` redirected nonce generation for every other policy too. Only an unscoped binding does that now. ## #4206 — a provider can contribute a security policy Added in review: the policy set was fixed at compile time, so a provider could contribute key custody but not a *profile*. It is now table-driven and open, and the blockers #4206 listed are gone. ```csharp using IDisposable registration = SecurityPolicies.Register( new SecurityPolicyInfo("urn:vendor:SecurityPolicy#CustomProfile", "CustomProfile") { PlatformSupport = () => true, SupportedCertificateTypes = [ObjectTypeIds.RsaSha256ApplicationCertificateType], IsDefault = true }); services.AddOpcUa() .AddCryptoProvider(crypto => crypto .For(CryptoPurpose.ChannelSymmetric, "urn:vendor:SecurityPolicy#CustomProfile").Use(module)) .AddSecurityPolicy(customPolicy); ``` - **The reflection is gone.** Four lookup tables were built by reflecting over the fields of `SecurityPolicies` and `SecurityPolicyInfo`. They are one explicit table now, which removes the **last reflection in `Security/Constants`** — so this is a trimming and Native AOT improvement as much as a feature. - **`SecurityPolicyInfo` is constructible from another assembly** and carries the metadata the helpers need, so `IsPlatformSupportedName`, `GetDefaultUris`, `MapSecurityPolicyToCertificateTypes` and `GetCurveFromCertificateTypeId` read that table instead of each being hand-written. Adding a policy is one entry rather than five edits. - **The dead `#if CURVE25519` conditional is deleted** from `Security/Constants`. - Registration is copy-on-write, so the read path stays lock-free. Shadowing a built-in policy requires `replaceExisting: true` and is reversible by disposing the registration. `RegisterLightsUpCurvePoliciesFromOutsideCore` is the acceptance test the issue asked for: it registers `ECC_curve25519` and `ECC_curve448` from the test project and asserts they become discoverable through the public API. **Registering a policy makes it advertised and resolvable; it does not supply the cryptography behind it.** For those two curve profiles the in-tree key agreement is still behind a compile symbol no project defines plus a BouncyCastle dependency, so a deployment lighting them up provides the operations through a provider. That division is the point: the policy set says *what* is offered, the provider says *who* performs it. ## Removing the gate's re-entrancy Folded in from #4242, which was merged into this branch. `ChannelGate` was re-entrant, and that forced the design behind most of the defects above. A holder that awaits releases its thread, so ownership could not be tracked by thread identity — it had to live in an `AsyncLocal<Holder?>`. A logical context is *inherited*, so anything started while the gate was held inherited the right to re-enter and ran inside the guarded region alongside whatever started it, unless it opted out by hand via `LeaveInheritedContext()` at each of eight sites, enforced by review alone. Five of the defects listed above trace to that mechanism, including both CI hangs. So the *requirement* was removed rather than the mechanism, and the `AsyncLocal` then deleted itself. Every path that re-entered now calls a lock-free `Core` method (`ForceChannelFaultCore`, `ShutdownCore`, `ForceReconnectCore`, `CompleteConnectCore`), and three regions stopped running foreign code under the lock: the `RequestReceived` dispatch is deferred until the gate is released, `OnTransportError` no longer wraps the `HandleSocketError` virtual, and the callback setters and `EndpointDescription` publish a single reference with a volatile write instead of locking — the last is load-bearing, because `AsyncResultBase.OperationCompleted` invokes the reverse-hello callback inline while the gate is held. `ChannelGate` is now a `SemaphoreSlim(1,1)` behind a `Releaser`; `Holder`, the thread-identity fallback, `LeaveInheritedContext`, `IsHeldByCurrentContext` and all eight disclaimer calls are gone, with the call shape at all 32 sites unchanged. `SaveIntermediateChunk`, `GetSavedChunks` and `DoMessageLimitsExceeded` gained a `gateHeld` argument, because the client reaches them both with and without the gate and must pick the matching teardown — without it an oversized `OpenSecureChannel` response deadlocked the receive loop against itself. The remaining paths were not found by reading the code, since that is what missed them originally. A temporary strict mode made every re-entrant acquisition throw with its stack, the suite was run under it until clean, and it was deleted with the re-entrancy it measured. It caught two sites review had missed: the `EndpointDescription` **property getter** taking the gate, and the `RequestReceived` dispatch to application code happening inside the guarded region. Two deliberate residuals are documented for reviewers: `Dispose` no longer takes the gate (unavoidable — it is reached from `ChannelFaulted` with the gate held, where the old re-entrant acquisition excluded nothing anyway), and the deferred request dispatch builds `SecureChannelContext` just after gate release rather than under it. ## Testing New: the three seams and their platform implementations, facet discovery and resolution precedence, `FipsOnly` refusing a provider that cannot serve what it was bound to, AES counter mode (including a non-block-aligned round trip and a check that the counter carries, since one that did not would silently reuse key stream), `ChannelGate` (exclusion, re-entrancy across an await, re-entrancy on a reused thread, and the deadlocks above), the asynchronous channel paths, and the PubSub policy provider. Each review finding got a test that fails without its fix: - `ContendedEntryStillRecordsTheHolderAsync` — established contention deterministically, then re-entered; failed on the pre-fix gate. Removed with the re-entrancy it covered; `ChannelGateTests` now asserts the non-re-entrant contract instead. - `SecureClientAndTcpListenerKeepChunkOrderUnderConcurrentRequestsAsync` — 60 concurrent multi-chunk `SignAndEncrypt` requests over a real loopback listener; failed 3 runs out of 3 with the previous dispatch, passes 3 out of 3 with the chain. - `DependencyInjectionRoutesPubSubCryptoThroughTheRegisteredProviderAsync` — builds a container, registers a counting provider, wraps a message and asserts the provider actually performed the encryption and the signature. This is the assertion the PubSub claim above now rests on. - `PolicyScopedRandomBindingDoesNotEscapeItsPolicy`. Two further assertions are the ones that would catch a silent defect: a provider and the platform must produce **byte-identical** output — a validated module that disagreed could not interoperate — and with a software key the returned `ValueTask` must report `IsCompletedSuccessfully`, which is what makes "ordering is unchanged" checkable rather than merely asserted. `SymmetricChannelCryptoBenchmarks` gains a provider-registered variant beside the existing baseline, so the cost of the indirection is measured rather than assumed. Verified locally, every suite at or above its recorded baseline: `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release` **0 warnings, 0 errors on all six target frameworks**; Core **4413** (net10.0); Core.Security **617**, with its certificate-leak detector clean; PubSub **1350** plus PubSub.Diagnostics **54** and PubSub.Udp **233**; Features **156**; Subscriptions.Classic **32**; Server integration **4053**; Client integration **2123**; MigrationAnalyzer **151** and MigrationAnalyzer.Core **13**. Zero failures in each. Core moved from 4388 to 4381 when the gate change landed — eight re-entrancy tests were removed along with the behaviour they covered, and one deadlock regression test added — and has since grown to 4413 with the registry isolation, provider-output and security-review tests. `ChannelGateTests` was rewritten around the new contract — exclusion across both entry modes, an uncontended asynchronous entry not suspending, re-entry blocking by contract, and the property that used to be the hazard: work started while the gate is held is excluded without having to opt out. Every CI failure this PR produced was reproduced locally, diagnosed against a clean `origin/master` baseline in a second worktree, and fixed at the source. Two hangs were found from `--blame-hang-timeout` dumps read with `dotnet-dump`. One failure that looked like a candidate was confirmed **not** to be: an intermittent `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` connect failure, pre-existing on `origin/master` (5 of 8 baseline runs failed, versus 3 of 14 here). ### The publish request overshoot `Subscriptions.Classic.PublishRequestCountAsync` failed on the Windows net10.0 leg with **207** outstanding publish requests against a cap of `max(maxServerPublishRequest, subscriptions)` = 50. It failed in 2 of 6 pipeline builds on this branch, never on `master` in 13 sampled builds, and never locally in 12 attempts including under deliberate CPU contention. The mechanism is a genuine race. `ClassicSubscriptionEngine.QueueBeginPublish` was a **check-then-act**: it read `GoodPublishRequestCount`, compared it against `GetDesiredPublishRequestCount(false)`, and issued a publish if it was below. It runs on every publish completion, so *n* completions that overlap each read the same value, each conclude they are below the cap, and each issue — overshooting by up to *n* per round. The read also *lags*: a request only becomes visible to `GoodPublishRequestCount` once `AsyncRequestStarted` has recorded it, which happens after the request has already been sent. That code is pre-existing and was untouched by this PR. What this PR changed is how hard the race is hit: the server used to hold the channel gate across request processing, which serialised every request on a channel, so publish completions arrived one at a time. Dispatching `RequestReceived` outside the gate — an intended improvement, since a channel should not serialise on application request-processing time — lets them complete concurrently. Rather than change the publish pipeline blind, the race was first made reproducible. `ConcurrentPublishReEvaluationDoesNotExceedDesiredRequestCount` drives 64 barrier-released completions against a mocked context whose count lags the send exactly the way the session's does. It issued **64 requests where 5 were desired** — the same defect the CI leg hit, now deterministic and running in milliseconds. The engine now tracks the requests it has in flight and reserves a slot with a compare-exchange before sending, so the decision and the send are one atomic step. The reservation is released when the request completes, when the send is declined, or when it throws. The repro test then issues at most the desired count. `StartPublishing` is deliberately left **uncapped**. It is the recovery valve that refills a pipeline whose requests are outstanding but no longer expected to return, so gating it on the in-flight count would remove the only path out of a stalled pipeline. An earlier revision of this fix did gate it, and that is the one change here that could not be justified on the evidence — it was reverted. The assertion was **not** loosened, retried away, or marked flaky: it caught a real throttling regression earlier in this PR and is worth keeping sharp. Validated: the repro test red before the fix and green after; `Subscriptions.Classic` 32/32 **five** consecutive runs on net10.0 and once on net48; `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` 2124 on net10.0 across four consecutive runs and 2127 on net48; `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests` 604 passed with this fix in place. ### The SSH.NET advisory that turned CI red repo-wide Partway through this work every build job began failing with `NU1903: Package 'SSH.NET' 2025.1.0 has a known high severity vulnerability` ([GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-q939-rpr3-3284), `<= 2025.1.0` affected, first patched `2026.0.0`). Nothing in the dependency graph changed — the advisory was published. Build 17026 failed on it where build 17000, two hours earlier on an identical graph, had passed every build job. SSH.NET is not referenced anywhere in the repository; it arrives transitively through `Testcontainers.Kafka`. `master` landed the remediation independently while this was being investigated (a central transitive pin to `2026.0.0`, which `CentralPackageTransitivePinningEnabled` exists for). This branch briefly carried its own identical pin, which made the merge commit hold **two** `PackageVersion` entries for SSH.NET and fail restore with `NU1506`. The duplicate is removed and `master` is merged, so the pin now comes from one place only. The audit was **not** suppressed: `NuGetAudit` stays enabled and `NU1903` stays an error. Verified after the merge — `dotnet restore UA.slnx` reports neither NU1903 nor NU1506, and `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release` is **0 warnings, 0 errors** with the audit live. The remaining red check in build 17026 was not from this change either. `aot-ubuntu-latest` is the intermittent `Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests` failure already noted above — `ReconnectSessionAsync` timed out at 30s with 135 of 136 passing. It remains below the `origin/master` baseline rate (4 of 15 sampled here against 5 of 8 on the baseline), and the managed reconnect paths are green throughout: `Opc.Ua.Client.Tests` 2124 across four consecutive runs and `Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests` 604. ## Documentation `docs/CryptoProvider.md` gains sections on substituting the symmetric primitives, using a key served over a network, and PubSub — including what cannot be claimed and why, the scope rule for a random-source binding, and how to supply a provider-backed policy outside the container. `docs/MigrationGuide.md` covers the `[Obsolete]` channel virtuals and `DataLock`, and the non-re-entrant gate's contract for channel subclasses. `docs/WhatsNewIn2.0.md` is updated. `plans/cryptooffboard.md` is deleted now that the work it planned has landed. ## Note for reviewers This touches the secure channel handshake, which is the most security-critical code in the stack. Nine distinct concurrency and lifetime defects were found and fixed in it during this work — three during development, two in review, four from CI — so `ChannelGate`, the write path and the certificate ownership across the new suspension points deserve the closest reading. Five of those nine traced to the gate's `AsyncLocal`, which is why the re-entrancy was subsequently removed and the `AsyncLocal` deleted. The wrapper/`Core` split and the two documented residuals in that section are the parts most worth a second reading. The #4206 work removes the last reflection from `Security/Constants` and rewrites the policy lookup tables, so `SecurityConfiguration.SupportedSecurityPolicies` and the endpoint set it feeds are worth a second look: an earlier revision of it changed that set and broke six server tests, which is now covered by `SecurityConfigurationBuildsExpectedSupportedPolicySet`. ## Related Issues - Fixes #4206 - Fixes #4207 - Fixes #4208 - Fixes #4210 - Follow-up #4250 — this PR makes the security policy set injectable, but nothing in the stack resolves `ISecurityPolicyRegistry` from DI yet, so every production path still lands on the `Default` fallback. #4250 tracks threading it through `Session` and `UaSCBinaryChannel`, which is what makes the injection points already added here load-bearing. ## Checklist - [x] I have signed the [CLA](https://opcfoundation.org/license/cla/ContributorLicenseAgreementv1.0.pdf) and read the [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) doc. - [x] I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works and increased code coverage. - [x] I have added all necessary documentation. - [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or analyzer warnings. - [x] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed. - [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and **all** CodeQL warnings. - [x] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: marcschier <11168470+marcschier@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 7a68ca72-83e8-496c-b2f5-3df4c718320b Copilot-Session: 3f5ab76a-c0ba-4f47-87ac-54d1f4182c6b	2026-08-15 05:23:20 -07:00
Marc SchierandCopilot	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? --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: e9c13dd0-a6e3-4ad2-8ad6-1c3fe6323041	2026-08-11 06:57:40 +02:00
Marc SchierandCopilot	4e0b82af5f	Add IServerContext and move server startup tasks onto it (#4193) ... ## Stacked on #4188 Base is `marcschier/server-seam-analysis`, not `master`. `IServerInternal.cs` and `ServerInternalData.cs` both diverge from master on that branch (chunk 4c removed the two `object` locks), so branching off master would conflict on both files *and* design `IServerContext` against a stale interface. GitHub retargets the base to `master` automatically when #4188 merges. **Review #4188 first.** Closes part of #4184. ## What this does `IServerInternal` is a service locator: 56 members, 30-odd of which hand out one of 20+ subsystems. A component that only needs to observe the server and act on it has to take the whole thing, and no signature tells a reader which parts a component actually touches. This adds `IServerContext` — the ambient view of a running server — and moves `IServerStartupTask` onto it. ```csharp public interface IServerContext { ServerState CurrentState { get; } ServerObjectState ServerObject { get; } IServiceMessageContext MessageContext { get; } ServerSystemContext DefaultSystemContext { get; } ServerSystemContext CreateSystemContext(ISession session); T? FindPredefinedNode<T>(NodeId nodeId) where T : NodeState; IEnumerable<T> FindNodeManagers<T>() where T : class; ValueTask ReportEventAsync(IFilterTarget e, CancellationToken ct = default); ValueTask CloseSessionAsync(OperationContext context, NodeId sessionId, bool deleteSubscriptions, CancellationToken ct = default); ValueTask DeleteSubscriptionAsync(uint subscriptionId, CancellationToken ct = default); void UpdateServerDiagnostics(Action<ServerDiagnosticsSummaryDataType> update); } ``` Nothing on it returns a subsystem. A component that needs one takes it as a constructor dependency, which states the requirement instead of hiding it behind an ambient handle. `IServerInternal : IServerContext`, so every existing handle already satisfies the new seam and consumers migrate one at a time. ## The member set was measured, not guessed Every member of `IServerInternal` was counted by read site across `src`, `samples` and `tests`, split by area. `Ext` is non-test production consumers, which is what decides whether something belongs on an ambient interface. | Member | InServer | OtherSrc | Sample | Test | **Ext** | On `ISystemContext`? | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---| | `NamespaceUris` | 63 | 50 | 34 | 131 | **84** | yes | | `Telemetry` | 58 | 23 | 35 | 5 | **58** | yes | | `MessageContext` | 2 | 8 | 7 | 11 | **15** | no | | `TypeTree` | 42 | 3 | 11 | 10 | **14** | yes, as `TypeTable` | | `NodeManager` | 66 | 7 | 6 | 74 | **13** | no | | `DefaultSystemContext` | 21 | 4 | 1 | 7 | **5** | no | | `IdentityRegistry` | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1 | **5** | no | | `SubscriptionManager` | 23 | 0 | 0 | 17 | **0** | no | | `SessionManager` | 21 | 0 | 0 | 15 | **0** | no | | `RequestManager` | 10 | 0 | 0 | 23 | **0** | no | | `AggregateManager` | 12 | 0 | 0 | 2 | **0** | no | | `ModellingRulesManager`, `ConformanceUnitsManager`, `DiagnosticsEnabled` | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **0** | no | Two things fall out. The highest-traffic members are already carried by `ISystemContext`, which `ServerSystemContext` copies off the server at construction — so most of those 278 `NamespaceUris` reads are callers reaching through the server for something they already hold. And the subsystems with zero external demand are exactly the ones that should be injected rather than published. The check that matters: the eight `IServerStartupTask` implementations in `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server` are the heaviest real consumer of the ambient handle, and between them they touch **eight distinct members**. That is the shape the interface is cut to. ## Commits ### `e4a912eb` Remove seven unused members from `IServerInternal` The deletion test, applied before anything is designed against the interface. | Removed | Evidence | |---|---| | `CloseSession(OperationContext, NodeId, bool)` | zero call sites; sync-over-async; already obsolete | | `ReadServerDiagnostics<TResult>` | zero production sites — **added one commit earlier in #4188 for symmetry and never called** | | `ModellingRulesManager` | property never read; `ServerInternalData` owns the lifetime | | `ConformanceUnitsManager` | same | | `DiagnosticsEnabled` | façade over `IDiagnosticsNodeManager.DiagnosticsEnabled`, which is what callers use | | `Status` | one site, itself inside an obsolete method | | `ServerDiagnostics` | only reachable through the diagnostics methods that replaced it | `EndpointAddresses` was kept — `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests` uses it to resolve an endpoint URL. Thin, but real. The only build fallout was three lines in one test assembly. `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server`, `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.Common`, `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Server`, `Opc.Ua.PubSub.Server`, `Opc.Ua.Di.Server`, `ConsoleReferenceServer` and `Quickstarts.Servers` all built untouched. That is the evidence the members were dead. ### `ffcc80b9` Add `IServerContext` Additive. `ServerInternalData` implements it; no caller changes. ### `e8c4e15f` Hand startup tasks `IServerContext` Nine implementations, `OpcUaServerHostedService`, and the test call sites. ### `1b4de97a` Drop the `IServerStartupTask` migration-guide section Review feedback. `IServerStartupTask` does not exist in `master378`, so it is a 2.0-only concept and nobody migrating from 1.5.378 can own an implementation of it. The **Removed members on `IServerInternal`** section stays - those members *are* in master378 - and is now self-contained. ### `2ab7d689` Merge `marcschier/server-seam-analysis` Picks up the base branch including its merge of master. Textually clean, no conflicts. ### `6a650f12` Migrate `RobotIntentHostStartupTask` to `IServerContext` The merge was textually clean but **semantically broken**: master's Robot Intent feature (#4165) added a tenth `IServerStartupTask` implementation written against the old `IServerInternal` signature, so it no longer satisfied the interface. Its body walked `server.NodeManager.AsyncNodeManagers` and type-tested each entry for `RobotIntentNodeManager` - exactly the pattern `FindNodeManagers<T>()` replaces - so it migrated the same way as the other nine. `FindNodeManagers` also searches the synchronous registry and de-dupes by reference, so a manager registered on both faces still starts its intent controller hosts exactly once. ## Three findings from migrating real consumers **`MessageContext` is not derivable.** The design had callers use `DefaultSystemContext.AsMessageContext()`, on the reasoning that a message context can be built from a system context. It can't: that conversion carries the namespace tables and the factory but **not** `MaxStringLength`, `MaxArrayLength` or `MaxByteStringLength`. Four replication paths in `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server` would have silently fallen back to default decoding limits — a component quietly accepting more than the server is configured to. It is a real member, and the interface documents why. **`new`-shadowed members split the mock surface.** `IServerInternal` first redeclared `DefaultSystemContext` with a narrower type and `CurrentState` with a setter. That compiles, but a shadowed member is a *second interface slot*: production code calling through `IServerContext` read a slot that every existing `Mock<IServerInternal>` leaves unstubbed. Seventeen tests went from passing to `NullReferenceException` **while still compiling**. The narrower typing bought no encapsulation anyway — the object really is a `ServerSystemContext` and any caller can cast — so both shadows are gone. `CurrentState` is read-only on the ambient interface and the one site that assigns it uses the concrete type, as `GetStatus` already does. **`IServiceProvider` is deliberately *not* on `OnServerStartedAsync`.** The plan sketched it. All nine implementations already receive their dependencies through their constructors from the builder extensions, so a container on the callback would have replaced one service locator with another. ## `FindNodeManagers<T>` Two tasks walked `server.NodeManager.NodeManagers` and type-tested each entry for `ILocalAddressSpaceSource`; two more reached for a specific manager to cast it to a capability. Asking for the capability says what the caller wants; asking for the registry says how to find it. ```csharp // before foreach (INodeManager nodeManager in server.NodeManager.NodeManagers) { if (nodeManager is not ILocalAddressSpaceSource source) { continue; } ... } // after foreach (ILocalAddressSpaceSource source in server.FindNodeManagers<ILocalAddressSpaceSource>()) { ... } ``` It searches both the asynchronous and synchronous registries: `ToSyncNodeManager()` returns `this` when a manager already implements `INodeManager`, so the two lists overlap and a capability may sit on either face. ## Tests Mock harnesses are **wired, not stubbed** — they return the node managers and contexts the tests already build, so the tests keep asserting against real behaviour rather than against a mock that returns whatever is convenient. Four new tests cover `CreateSystemContext` (identity/locale propagation, null guard), the explicit `DefaultSystemContext` identity, and `FindPredefinedNode` before the address space is bound. | Suite | net10.0 | net48 | |---|---|---| | `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` | 573 passed | 573 passed | | `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes.Tests` | 97 passed | n/a (net8/net10 only) | | `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 4028 passed, 1 failed | 225 passed, 1 failed (filtered) | The single failure is `ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`, a local certificate-store problem. Verified it reproduces unchanged at HEAD with these changes stashed — it is not caused by this PR.

The job aborted before restore/build, so **the test step never executed**. Infra flake; needs a re-run, not a code change. | Both `SourceGeneration.Core` failures belong to the base branch and should be fixed there rather than papered over here. ## Correction to the recorded plan Chunk 7 (the frozen bind phase) was recorded as the largest mechanical footprint remaining and the one most likely to stall. It isn't: **each of the 12 `Set*` mutators has exactly one call site**, in the `StandardServer` wiring, plus one sample. It is a ~13 call-site change. The 268-file figure that produced that assessment counted files *referencing* `IServerInternal`, which chunk 7 never has to touch, because the interface survives and only the mutators move off it. ## Docs `docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains one section: the removed `IServerInternal` members with their replacements, plus the note that `MessageContext`, `DefaultSystemContext`, `CurrentState`, `ServerObject`, `ReportEventAsync`, `CloseSessionAsync`, `DeleteSubscriptionAsync` and `UpdateServerDiagnostics` moved *down* to `IServerContext` and stay reachable through `IServerInternal` unchanged, so no call site has to move. An earlier revision also documented the `IServerStartupTask` signature change there. That was dropped after review (1b4de97a4): `IServerStartupTask` does not exist in `master378`, so it is a 2.0-only concept and nobody migrating from 1.5.378 can own an implementation of it. The rationale for the ambient view - including the `AsMessageContext()` decoding-limit trap - lives on the `IServerContext` and `IServerStartupTask` XML docs instead, which is where a 2.0-only concept belongs. ## Reviewer questions - `IServerContext` is 11 members, not the 9 the design targeted. `MessageContext` and `FindNodeManagers<T>` were added because migrating real consumers showed the alternatives were wrong (silent decoding-limit loss) or a pass-through (`NodeManager.NodeManagers` plus a type test at every call site). Reasonable? - `IServerInternal : IServerContext` keeps the fat interface alive on purpose — it is what makes this a signature change rather than a 268-file rewrite. It only shrinks once the DI migration lands. The 6a deletions are unconditional, so even a full stall leaves it seven members smaller. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: e9c13dd0-a6e3-4ad2-8ad6-1c3fe6323041 Copilot-Session: b3c0e146-5b9e-4d08-a0f6-db3f940484b1 Copilot-Session: d18f87e9-2484-44ce-98ce-463ba6cf5f63	2026-08-10 21:14:09 +02:00
Marc SchierandCopilot	e05a820c91	Removal of the exposed diagnostics and node locks (#4188) ... ## What this is Design analysis for `Opc.Ua.Server`, the two rounds of design exploration behind it, and the first two implementation chunks it recommends. Draft: the analyses are ready to read, but the *conclusions* deserve discussion before the larger phases proceed. Later chunks stack onto this PR as they land. | File | Kind | Lines | |---|---|---:| | `plans/NodeManagerAnalysis.md` | Evidence — the node-manager plugin surface | 488 | | `plans/ServerRuntimeAnalysis.md` | Evidence — the server runtime cluster | 576 | | `plans/ServerDesignExploration.md` | Design round 2 — delivery strategy | 1,394 | | `plans/ServerDesignExplorationAlt.md` | Design round 1 — four interface designs | 2,119 | | `src/Opc.Ua.Types/State/NodeState.cs` | **Code** — node self-guards attributes | | | `src/Opc.Ua.Types/State/BaseVariableState.cs` | **Code** — value accessors take the lock | | | `src/Opc.Ua.Server/NodeManager/AsyncCustomNodeManager.cs` | **Code** — 6 external locks removed | | | `tests/…/NodeStateAttributeConcurrencyTests.cs` | **Code** — concurrency safety net | 449 | `docs/` is untouched — it holds shipped feature documentation, and none of this is shipped API. ## The analyses Counted mechanically over `src`, `samples` and `tests`; **every figure is reproducible** from commands printed in each document. **Node manager surface.** `AsyncCustomNodeManager` declares **93 `virtual`/`abstract` members** (80 distinct names). Across the repository: **112 override sites, 25 distinct names ever overridden, 55 of 80 never**. Six carry nearly all real use. For scale, `ReferenceNodeManager` is 6,373 lines and overrides **8**. **Server runtime.** Seven findings, **two of which recommend no change**. Findings 1–5 are filed as #4183–#4187. The headline is an `object`-typed sync root published on three public interfaces and taken in **88 `lock` statements across 7 files**, including a shipped sample. **What is deliberately not flagged.** `IStandardServer` — 9 members over 5,575 lines, 16 of 37 virtuals used — is identified as the reference shape to preserve. `IApplicationInstance` and the already-`[Obsolete]` `Stop()` are examined and left alone. ## The design exploration **Round 1** explored four alternative interfaces in parallel under the current back-compat constraint. Its value is the convergence: four designers who never saw each other's work independently arrived at a 6–9 member `IServerContext` replacing the 57-member locator, removal of the `object` node-manager handle, elimination of the `Processed` protocol, and `IHistorianProvider` as the pattern to copy. **Round 2** re-runs it with back-compat lifted and asks how to deliver: full rewrite versus side-by-side fork. **Both option designers independently declined to recommend their own assignment.** Three structural facts were verified: 1. **The fork line already sits at `IAsyncNodeManager`** — old and new node managers can coexist with zero runtime changes, so a fork duplicates ~10% of the assembly, not all of it. 2. **`[OpcUaShim]` cannot shim an inheritance surface** — honest auto-fix ceiling for the authoring surface is **~10%**, against ~70% for the shipped analyzers. 3. **A second lock leak exists** — `NodeState` takes `lock (this)` under a `CA2002` suppression whose own comment documents the contract. Recommendation: **neither pure option**, but a staged path reaching the rewrite end state incrementally, gated on migrating the five framework-internal node managers that today make it impossible for the old base to ever freeze. ## Implementation: NodeState now guards its own attributes This removes the prose-only contract in which `NodeState` took `lock(this)` and every external caller was required to take `lock(source)` on the node instance. The code already carried a TODO describing exactly this fix and noting it required updating every external site. - The node self-guards rather than relying on callers. `BaseVariableState` gains a **fully private** `System.Threading.Lock` covering its value fields; `NodeState`'s other collections keep their existing private locks. - All **6** `lock(this)` sites and both `CA2002`/`RCS1059` suppressions are gone. - `Value`, `Timestamp` and `StatusCode` on `BaseVariableState` take the lock too — without that, a direct property write raced an attribute read once the external lock was gone. - **6 of 9** external sites removed. Five were already redundant (`GetReferences`, `GetChildren`, `ReferenceExists` and `SetAreEventsMonitored` guard themselves; `FindMethod` reaches its state via `GetChildren`); the sixth was an attribute read now covered by the node's own lock. - Attribute read/write deliberately take **no** node-wide lock: both dispatch to caller-supplied handlers (`OnReadValue` and siblings) that may take locks of their own, and holding a lock on the node across one gives the node no fixed place in the lock order. - **3 deliberately retained and annotated in code**: two `CreateBrowser` calls, which are not internally synchronized (tracked in #4216), and one in `CustomNodeManager`, whose class is slated for deletion so refactoring its lock would be wasted work. ### No lock is exposed anywhere, to anyone An earlier revision put the attribute lock on `NodeState` as `private protected`, which still published a lock-sharing contract on the inheritance surface. Review pushed back and it is gone: `BaseVariableState` was the only user, so the lock moved there as a plain `private readonly Lock`. There is no member for a derived type to call, in this assembly or any other. `BaseVariableValue` was the last public leak — it handed out the lock guarding its value through a `public Lock` property, so any caller could hold it across a call back into the stack. That property is removed: - Derived value classes (what the source generator emits for every structure variable) synchronize through a `protected EnterLock()` / `ExitLock()` pair. Callback helpers were the first choice, but the generated bodies pass `ref Variant` / `ref StatusCode` / `ref DateTimeUtc`, and `ref` arguments cannot be captured by a lambda. The lock *object* stays private either way. - `NodeStateTemplates` emits the new form. - `ServerInternalData`, the one cross-assembly caller, was reading the lock back off a value it had itself constructed with that lock. It now takes `m_diagnosticsLock` directly. `NodeBrowser.DataLock` remains `protected` and is tracked in #4215: a subclass extending `Next()` legitimately needs its enumeration state atomic with the base browser's, so the fix needs a base-owned acquisition rather than a deletion. ### Migration coverage for the removed lock members None of the removed lock members get an `[Obsolete]` shim, and the migration guide now says why: a shim would have to be `object`-typed to keep old call sites compiling, and on .NET 9+ `lock (o)` on a statically-`object` reference is `Monitor.Enter`, which does **not** interlock with `Lock.Enter()`. It would compile, run, and silently synchronize nothing — strictly worse than a compile error. Re-adding a member to a downstream-implemented interface is also a break in its own right on `net48` / `netstandard2.0`, where there are no default interface methods. Instead, every removed member has a named replacement on the migration path: | Rule | Covers | Replacement it names | |---|---|---| | `UA0024` | `IServerInternal` / `ISession` / `ISubscription` `DiagnosticsLock`, `DiagnosticsWriteLock` | `UpdateServerDiagnostics(...)` / `UpdateDiagnostics(...)`, `ReadServerDiagnostics` / `ReadDiagnostics` | | `UA0025` | `ILocalNode.DataLock`, `Node.DataLock` | a lock the caller owns; the node guards its own state | | `UA0026` | `BaseVariableValue.Lock` | a lock passed to the `BaseVariableValue` constructor | Each rule fires on sources still written against 1.5.378, where the compiler only says a member is missing. `docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains a section per removal with before/after. ### The tests earned their keep The four concurrency tests were landed **first**, against the unmodified code, because removing a synchronization contract cannot be verified by the compiler and the existing `NodeStateHandlerConcurrencyTests` covers a different concern (racing a handler assignment against a write, not reader/writer exclusion). They now run with **no external locking**, which is what demonstrates the node guards itself. They caught two real problems, and one of them was mine: - The `Value`/`StatusCode`/`Timestamp` setters bypassed the new lock — a genuine race. - One test asserted an invariant the design does not offer. Two property setters are two lock acquisitions, so that pair was **never** atomic; it only passed originally because the test held a lock across both. It now uses a single attribute write carrying a whole `DataValue`, which genuinely is atomic and is the path the server uses. A third issue was found and fixed before it shipped: the reader loops gated on `!writer.IsCompleted`, so a reader scheduled after the writer finished performed zero reads — failing two runs in three on `net48`. Converted to `do…while`; now five consecutive green runs. **Verified:** `Stack.State` 116 passed on `net10.0` *and* `net48`; the concurrency category green 5/5 consecutive on `net48`; `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests` 8,456 passed; the server node-manager suite 1,205 passed, including `NodeManagerLifecycleTests` and `AsyncCustomNodeManagerTests` which exercise the changed paths. ## Two corrections to my own published figures Both were found while starting implementation, and both are recorded on #4183. **`ForceDiagnosticsScan()` was overstated.** The analysis claimed the `DiagnosticsWriteLock` getter *"triggers a full address-space diagnostics rescan"*. It is in fact a single flag assignment (`DiagnosticsNodeManager.cs:700-703`) consumed by the read paths and the periodic timer. The defect stands — a side-effecting property getter with a racy write on a synchronisation path — but its cost was misstated. **The contract was 15 sites, not 19.** A naive search matched ten comment and `#pragma` lines that *mention* `lock(source)` while explaining it. The documents now carry a counting command that excludes comment matches. A third finding expanded scope the other way: the `object`-typed lock leak is **repo-wide**, with ten such members across `Opc.Ua.Core`, `Opc.Ua.Types` and `Opc.Ua.Server` — including `Node.DataLock => this` and `ApplicationConfiguration.PropertiesLock => m_properties`, the same defect class as `Subscription.DiagnosticsLock`. ## Caveats stated in the documents - **Nothing in the designs is implemented or benchmarked.** Every performance claim across all seven designs is a design intention, not a measurement. - The larger phases are a **major undertaking against a live plugin API**; the documents say so rather than letting the neatness of the proposals imply otherwise. - The recommended sequencing puts low-risk, self-contained steps first and notes they are **worth doing regardless** of which strategy is eventually chosen. - Round 2 notes the two option designers' cost estimates are **not independent of their assignments**. ## Review guidance The two analyses make factual claims checkable by running the included commands. The design explorations are exploratory and need not be agreed with to merge. The code change is small, test-backed, and independent of which delivery strategy is eventually chosen. Reasonable outcomes include merging as-is, merging only the analyses and the lock fix, or disagreeing with the recommendation while keeping the evidence. --- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: e9c13dd0-a6e3-4ad2-8ad6-1c3fe6323041 Copilot-Session: d18f87e9-2484-44ce-98ce-463ba6cf5f63	2026-08-10 06:47:50 +02:00
Marc Schier	fde50c5700	Enforce ActivateSession transfer and reconnect security (OPC 10000-4 §5.7.3.1) (#4050) ... # Description This draft isolates the Session/ActivateSession, reconnect, and distributed Session security work split from #4021. ### Failure - `ActivateSession` could transfer a Session to a new SecureChannel without consistently enforcing the original client certificate, MessageSecurityMode, SecurityPolicy, and exact OPC `ClientUserId` semantics. - Missing or legacy distributed Session security state did not provide enough information to validate transfer safely. - Malformed or reused nonces, concurrent activation, and cancellation could leave activation state inconsistent. - Client reconnect could treat recoverable Session-loss/security responses as fatal, reuse a Session after client-certificate rotation, or report a managed channel ready before Session recreation completed. ### Fix - Serialize activation, consume server nonces once, validate application signatures and user tokens asynchronously, and enforce transfer continuity against the original channel and authenticated identity. - Persist versioned transfer-security state for distributed Sessions and fail closed when certificate, identity, activation, or nonce state is absent or invalid. - Validate server signatures/nonces on the client, recreate Sessions for certificate rotation and recoverable activation failures, and await participant recreation before transitioning the managed channel to `Ready`. - Make the restart recovery integration test use bounded reconnect cycles instead of a fixed startup delay. ### Specification - OPC 10000-4 §5.7.2.2 — CreateSession signatures and nonces. - OPC 10000-4 §5.7.3.1 — ActivateSession identity continuity and SecureChannel transfer. - OPC 10000-4 §6.1.8 — application nonce generation, validation, and reuse requirements. ### Validation - `git diff --check` - Release `net10.0`: `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` 567/567 plus the targeted server Session, Subscription transfer, ClientUserId, client reconnect and certificate rotation suites pass. - Release `net48`: the same redundancy suite (567/567) and the targeted Session/Subscription suites pass. - Full `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` run on `net10.0`: 3633/3634. The single failure, `ServerFluentApiHostingTests.ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`, reproduces identically on the unmodified commit and is a local certificate-store path issue rather than a regression. These were targeted validation runs; no long-soak result is claimed.	2026-07-28 12:07:02 +02:00
