5899354441 Clarify documentation, migration guidance, and SDK selection (#4823)
# Description

Remove stock phrasing and correct misleading or inconsistent technical
documentation. The initial two passes covered 367 Markdown files,
followed by an interactive review of 169 editorial flags. The U5
interpretation originally deferred in that review has since received the
upstream Mantis answer recorded by #4843; remaining server/spec
follow-ups stay explicit in the CTT log.

- Correct package responsibilities, migration steps, API names,
ownership, protocol descriptions and links. Keep bundled migration
guides synchronized. Preserve historical conclusions as historical
records with separate re-check notes.
- Provide at least two rendered TOC levels throughout `docs/`. Convert
appropriate architecture figures to Mermaid without changing code
examples, transcripts or historical quotations.
- Address the October 19 feedback with concrete setup/migration
instructions, corrected certificate paths and PubSub names, shorter
repeated caveats, consistent XML comments, and a full review of the
Concepts guide. Retain #4839's API corrections.
- Integrate #4841's runtime/performance guidance and review
incoming/recent prose. Preserve dated measurements rather than claiming
new benchmark runs; clarify allocation ratios, startup-only processor
settings, JIT warm-up and the benchmark commit's scope. Missing raw
measurement artifacts and repeat ranges remain tracked by #4842.
- Merge master through `e8c5d800a` in `32c6394b7`. Resolve the CTT log
conflict using the updated Mantis states and OPC answers, retaining
historical framing and re-checks for C28/C32/C43.
- Address the latest naming/index feedback in `adb5bf693`: rename the
guides to `docs/WotCon.md` and `docs/WotNodeSetConversion.md`; move the
provider and DataType-declaration contracts into the conversion guide
and remove `docs/WoT.md`. Rename `samples/DI` to `samples/Di` and
`samples/Isa95` to `samples/ISA95`. Add content-index READMEs to Di,
FluentApi, ISA95, Lds and PubSub; update solution entries, project
references, Docker/CI paths, test fixture paths and documentation links
with exact casing.

**WoT guide scope.** This branch retains the detailed conversion guide
that #4758 had replaced with an anchor stub. Conversion limits, verified
document sets, preservation rules and provider ownership now live
together in `WotNodeSetConversion.md`; binding/runtime guidance remains
in `WotBindings.md` and `WotCon.md`. The design-rationale/test-ledger
prose was shortened, the oversized argument-table cell moved into its
section, and existing anchors preserved.

**SDK policy is a separate, explicit user-directed change.**
`global.json` sets a stable minimum of `10.0.400`, `rollForward:
latestMajor`, and `allowPrerelease: false`. Newer major SDKs are
permitted; CI's explicit SDK pins are unchanged. README, GettingStarted,
DeveloperGuide and Recycling instructions reflect the possible analyzer
differences. The image-contract regression fix accepts compatible stable
SDK images instead of requiring exact equality with the floor.

The latest four rename/index threads are resolved after publication.
Three older threads remain open: universal obsolete-removal timing,
unconditional nonce-strength wording, and a blanket Vision NativeAOT
claim. Existing implementation/evidence constraints are explained in
their inline replies. The two-level TOCs remain as requested.

## Validation

- `git diff --check` and staged diff checks: passed. The untouched
upstream AutoID NodeSet retains its provenance bytes, including two
existing license-header trailing spaces.
- `.\.azurepipelines\validate-migration-plugin.ps1`: passed; 15 bundled
migration documents and manifests synchronized.
- Documentation/path validation: **101** documents retain two rendered
TOC levels (**2,228** entries), with idempotent formatting. **52** new
relative links and their anchors passed exact-case checks. No tracked
references to the old guide/sample paths remain. Both relocated
provider-contract sections are preserved in the destination.
- `dotnet sln UA.slnx list`: passed; shows the renamed Di/ISA95 projects
and the existing FluentApi/Lds/PubSub projects. Updated solution and
pump ProjectReference paths also passed exact-case existence checks.
- Latest focused commands, run from the repository root:

```powershell
# Passed: 61 channel send-order and reconnect tests.
dotnet test tests\Opc.Ua.Core.Tests\Opc.Ua.Core.Tests.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 --filter 'FullyQualifiedName~UaSCBinaryChannelSendOrderTests|FullyQualifiedName~TcpReconnectKeyAgreementTests' --verbosity minimal

# Passed: 5 pump datasheet tests; builds the renamed pump sample.
dotnet test tests\Opc.Ua.Di.Tests\Opc.Ua.Di.Tests.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 --filter 'FullyQualifiedName~PumpDatasheetConformanceTests' --verbosity minimal

# Passed: 4 repository NodeSet path/round-trip tests, including the moved pump models.
dotnet test tests\Opc.Ua.Types.Tests\Opc.Ua.Types.Tests.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 --filter 'FullyQualifiedName~RepositorySourceSurvivesSerializedLinkedPartitionsAsync' --verbosity minimal

# Passed: build, zero warnings/errors.
dotnet build samples\ISA95\MinimalIsa95Server\MinimalIsa95Server.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 -f net10.0 --verbosity minimal

# Passed: dependent sample-test project build, zero warnings/errors.
dotnet build tests\Opc.Ua.WotCon.Samples.Tests\Opc.Ua.WotCon.Samples.Tests.csproj -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 -f net10.0 --verbosity minimal
```

Earlier focused integration checks passed 2,620 tests across AutoID,
event queues/scheduling, source generation, MCP/package profiles and
WoT. Both reviewed Mermaid diagrams rendered locally without network
access. These checks are not a full solution run.

The full solution has **not** been rerun for this review. Earlier
`dotnet test UA.slnx -p:CustomTestTarget=net10.0 --verbosity quiet` did
not pass: three AOT projects rejected VSTest and 20 Vision tests failed
during graphics initialization with `OutOfMemoryException`. Remaining
long-running tests were stopped at the user's request. A focused Vision
rerun passed 558 tests and reproduced those 20 failures. The earlier
`dotnet test UA.slnx -p:CustomTestTarget=net48 --verbosity quiet` was
blocked by the former SDK pin and was not retried after the policy
change. The user approved proceeding with those limitations documented;
current remote CI is not claimed green.

## Related Issues

- Follow-up #4842 tracks the requested 2.0.2+ benchmark/tuning and
diagnostic-tool documentation refresh. #4841 supplies documentation and
earlier results, not all newly requested measurements.
- #4758 explains the conversion guide's earlier consolidation; the
current provider contracts are now consolidated into
`WotNodeSetConversion.md`.
- #4839 supplies the reviewed API corrections; #4843 supplies the
updated CTT issue record.
- The original prose cleanup and SDK policy were user-requested without
a source issue. No new runtime architecture is introduced by these
documentation edits.

Marc Schier 2836da7ec8 Fix sessionless ResultTransfer ownership bypass and other issues. (#4834)
# Description

Correct ownership, endpoint validation, policy propagation, subscription
delivery, file handling and generated-model behavior across the stack,
tools and samples. Add focused regression tests and update the
corresponding guides and sample documentation.

### Previously included corrections

- Require an active, matching session to generate or access transient
ResultTransfer file handles. Cover both sessionless generation and reads
against a handle owned by an active session, using live session owners
in the Machinery tests.
- Keep physical filesystem operations within their configured mount and
apply the same confinement checks throughout file operations.
- Validate LDS semaphore paths consistently during server registration
and registration-store maintenance.

### Individual issues addressed

| # | Component | Issue and correction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | AI jobs and transfers | Jobs and transfers did not consistently
retain their creator's identity and session. Apply ownership checks to
descendants, file handles, subscriptions and execution, and recheck
deployment permissions before dispatch. |
| 2 | Password-management client | Password-bearing calls could use
signing-only channels or follow a replacement connection. Capture an
encrypted transport generation and keep dispatch bound to it; preserve
ordinary non-password edits. |
| 3 | GDS and certificate-push clients | Connections omitted hostname
verification. Validate the original configured DNS name or IP address
before session activation. |
| 4 | Certificate push | Private-key uploads could use signing-only
calls. Require an encrypted, generation-bound dispatch while preserving
certificate-only updates and restoring the caller's identity afterward.
|
| 5 | MQTT client | The .NET Framework custom-trust callback could
discard TLS hostname, certificate-availability and usage errors. Retain
those checks while supporting configured issuer trust. |
| 6 | DTLS handshake | Certificate trust was not tied to the configured
peer address. Match the certificate's DNS or IP identity to the intended
endpoint. |
| 7 | Replicated address spaces | Serialized nodes lost per-node and
descendant permission metadata. Preserve role permissions, user-role
permissions and access restrictions, including updates to existing
replica nodes. |
| 8 | MCP PubSub imports | Imports without groups skipped checks on the
effective broker destination. Check the actual endpoint before resolving
credentials or activating the connection. |
| 9 | Reference-server accounts | A disabled username account could
authenticate again with its previous roles. Reject disabled accounts
during fresh authentication. |
| 10 | Console reference client | The sample disabled hostname checks
when connecting to an otherwise trusted peer. Retain the original
requested host and validate it before activation. |
| 11 | Capture replay and export | Replay and raw export could accept
non-capture files or include key material. Require complete PCAP/PCAPNG
containers and exclude key sidecars and decryption-secret blocks. |
| 12 | PubSub adapter fallback | The fallback client configuration
automatically accepted peer certificates. Apply normal trust and
hostname validation before activation or reads. |
| 13 | Kafka transport | Explicit TLS enablement was checked but did not
reach both final Confluent configurations. Use the same effective
protocol for validation, producers and consumers. |
| 14 | PubSub actions | Configuration rebuilds could widen a
connection-local action handler's scope. Preserve its original
connection association and reject mismatched dispatch. |
| 15 | PubSub readers | Reader-level message-protection settings were
accepted but ignored. Apply the effective group and reader settings
before accepting and publishing received values. |
| 16 | PubSub key groups | Different `SecurityGroupId` values could
share one connection-wide key context. Reject mixed groups on a
connection and require separate connections for distinct groups. |
| 17 | MCP session registrations | Session-name replacement or reuse
could retain another registration's credential bindings. Bind access to
the registration, caller and authenticated endpoint, and preserve that
identity when borrowing sessions. |
| 18 | Viewer HTTP host | Requests reached the viewer's OPC UA session
without consistent Host, Origin and port checks. Validate the request
destination and browser origin before using the session, while retaining
supported local MCP clients. |
| 19 | Vision file operations | File operations did not consistently
apply protected-file checks, and remote handles lacked caller and
connection context. Apply the shared checks and use host-side opaque
handles bound to caller, target and generation. |
| 20 | DTLS record integrity | The integrity-only MAC used a truncated
sequence number. Authenticate the full reconstructed sequence number and
epoch so records remain distinct across rollover. |
| 21 | AMB client sample | Connection setup omitted hostname validation.
Preserve the originally requested host and verify the peer identity
before activation. |
| 22 | Robot sample writes | The R2 `SpeedOverride` callback could
target R1 state. Bind each callback to its own robot and apply that
robot's write policy. |
| 23 | AI result properties | Optional result children inherited
remotely writable defaults. Preserve their declaration restrictions and
keep server-produced results read-only. |
| 24 | WSS peer-trust updates | Existing channels did not consistently
respond to peer-trust changes. Revalidate complete chains for forward
and reverse WSS channels and close only those that no longer validate. |
| 25 | GDS revocation checks | Caller-provided certificates could cause
issuer retrieval from embedded URLs. Resolve validation from configured
local trust, issuers and CRLs without fetching caller-provided
locations. |
| 26 | GMS observations | Published correction observations retained
writable model defaults. Reject remote writes while preserving
publisher-side updates. |
| 27 | Production-dataset monitoring | Subscription admission and
delivery could use the reporter's context instead of each subscriber's
permissions. Evaluate the subscriber at admission and on every delivery,
including cancellation and disposal paths. |
| 28 | WoT MQTT destinations | Hostless MQTT forms could imply a
localhost destination before loopback checks. Reject them before
credential lookup or connection attempts and validate the effective
endpoint. |
| 29 | XRegistry opaque reads | Content-ID reads and notifications did
not consistently honor encrypted-read requirements or the currently
accepted transport. Recheck the bound endpoint and reject transport
downgrades before rebinding, including when protected values are already
queued. |
| 30 | PubSub capture dissection | Key loading did not consistently
check the configured capture-root boundary. Check each actual key path
immediately before opening it. |
| 31 | PubSub publication queues | Imported WriterGroup queues were not
fully checked against publish-topic grants. Check the destination
actually used by each group. |
| 32 | MCP PubSub mutations | A caller-supplied mode could select
subscribe grants for an operation that publishes. Derive the required
direction and parent context from the actual mutation. |
| 33 | Generated write masks | Model import and generation could widen
an explicit `UserWriteMask`. Preserve it through import, copy, merge,
inheritance and dependency metadata. |
| 34 | Generated method flags | An explicit `UserExecutable=false` could
be lost. Preserve its specified state and resulting method behavior
through the same model paths. |
| 35 | Generated role identifiers | Unresolved role identifiers could
cause permission entries to be omitted. Preserve namespace-qualified
role IDs and report a diagnostic when a policy cannot be represented. |
| 36 | Aggregation-server defaults | The `localhost` default did not
reliably constrain listener binding. Use numeric loopback for the
default endpoint and command-line fallback. |
| 37 | Certificate-validation cache | Cached results could skip current
leaf or issuer validity checks. Recheck validity windows on cache hits
and keep hostname validation independent of cached chain trust. |
| 38 | Software-update folders | Revision names and marker contents
containing dot segments could select paths outside the software root.
Normalize and check every derived path against that root. |
| 39 | USDA arrays | Array elements were not encoded for their string or
asset context. Escape them as data and preserve valid composition and
round-trip behavior. |
| 40 | Adapter hot reload | A changed dataset definition with the same
name could keep old fields, subscriptions or cached values active.
Compare complete immutable definitions and retire old state before
replacement. |
| 41 | Adapter index ranges | Subscription publication could ignore
`IndexRange` and return the complete value. Preserve the requested
projection and its status and timestamps; reject unsupported range
providers. |
| 42 | PubSub metadata and targets | Metadata from one connection could
change another connection's target mapping. Scope metadata to its
connection and provenance, and resolve targets using actual typed field
IDs rather than field names or unintended positional fallback. |
| 43 | Scales product locks | Product locks were not applied across
every remote mutation path. Apply them consistently to value writes,
filling calculations and related recipe/controller operations while
retaining permitted updates. |
| 44 | Event permission caching | Cached event decisions could outlive
identity, role or node-policy changes. Revalidate the current
subscriber, event type and source permissions instead of reusing a stale
decision. |
| 45 | WoT Modbus destinations | Hostless Modbus forms could imply
localhost before loopback checks. Reject them before connecting and
validate the effective endpoint. |
| 46 | MCP local PKI tools | Peer-trust mutations did not consistently
require the caller's `CertificateAdministration` grant. Check the
capability before trust and untrust operations. |
| 47 | Robot-control HTTP bridge | The bridge lacked consistent Host,
Origin and port validation and caller-specific session grants. Apply
those checks before borrowing the OPC UA session and retain supported
local clients. |
| 48 | Subscription transfers | Transferred subscriptions could retain
cached notifications after the destination's permissions changed.
Require authorization continuity between source and destination
identities and roles, invalidate stale retransmission data when
continuity fails, and preserve retransmission behavior for compatible
transfers. |

### Compatibility notes

- Replication uses the versioned NSRP v1 policy envelope. Upgrade peers
together and re-encode or reseed legacy topology from the authoritative
model; missing permission metadata is not inferred from old records.
- Integrity-only DTLS peers must be upgraded together for the full
sequence/epoch MAC. AEAD behavior is unchanged.
- Distinct PubSub key groups require separate connections.
- Custom sessions that cannot capture the actual encrypted transport,
and subscription providers that cannot honor a requested range, are
rejected rather than silently changing the requested behavior.
- Subscription transfers retain retransmission data only when the
destination authorization remains compatible with the source snapshot;
otherwise the old sequence numbers and cached data are invalidated.

Marc Schier be50f02700 Add additional companion spec MCP tool profiles (#4731)
# Description

Expose existing stack APIs through **337 additional domain MCP tools**:
114 industrial-companion tools, 35 WoT/xRegistry/document tools, and 188
higher-level stack-workflow tools. The fully enabled catalogue contains
**492 tools**; profile selection is not an execution grant.

The packages now follow the reviewed structure:
**`Opc.Ua.Mcp.Workflows`** contains roles/users, files, alarms and
history; **`Opc.Ua.Mcp.WotCon`** contains management/documents and
independently registered live WoT execution. GDS and schema tools remain
separate packages. The executable composes **18 libraries**.

| Workflow | Added domain tools | Profiles |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| GDS directory, certificates, reference-only credentials/tokens and
Part 21 onboarding | 46 | `gds`, `certificates`, `credentials`,
`onboarding` |
| Roles/users, regular and temporary files, alarms/conditions and
historical access | 74 | `roles`, `users`, `files`, `alarms`, `history`
|
| Bounded runtime types, XSD/BSD/UA JSON, PubSub and REST OpenAPI
artifacts | 6 | `schemas` |
| Named PubSub transports, remote configuration, declarative
adapters/bridges and SKS | 52 | `pubsub-runtime`,
`pubsub-configuration`, `pubsub-bridge`, `pubsub-security` |
| Live HTTP(S), MQTT, Modbus TCP and OPC UA WoT forms | 10 |
`wot-runtime` |

- Reuse typed clients, generated proxies, SDK transports, schema
providers and injected services rather than introducing another session
manager or protocol engine.
- Require host enablement plus exact caller/session/secret/network
grants. Protected generic Call/Write/node-management/history/file paths
enforce the same policy.
- Bind classifications, dispatches, file handles and historical cursors
to actual UA generations. Recovery cannot retarget an old handle or
authorized mutation. Preserve acknowledged results after late
cancellation; do not imply atomicity or retry business commands.
- Use opaque secret-store references, explicit writable-store
registration, issuer/resource/caller binding and reserved capacity
before issuance. Report remote success/local persistence failure as
partial completion; redact provider-controlled diagnostic text.
- Bound new named runtimes to eight per host, two per caller,
five-minute idle expiry and a thirty-minute absolute lease by default.
Pending/closing resources consume quota; failed cleanup remains visible.
Credential invalidation and session recovery close dependent runtimes.
- Keep document planning separate from execution, artifacts
root-confined and real JSON inputs typed. Preserve old profile ordinals
while widening the set to 64 bits. CI grades fully enabled privileged
catalogues rather than connection-only views.

**Limitations:** live Kafka remains explicitly unavailable because the
backend cannot enforce policy on broker-discovered connections;
configuration/schema/capability inspection stays available. The latest
public Dekaf v1.23.5 was also checked and its DNS injection remains
internal. No private-API workaround or bootstrap-only security claim was
added. Full legacy Core registration retains its documented
JSON-reflection limitation: native tests isolate its four connection
descriptors and validate the expanded production registrations, not
whole-host NativeAOT support.

Marc Schier 3e433eb6c4 XRegistry: registration lifecycle, identifier allocation, registrar roles and atomic Resource replace (#4756)
# Description

Extracts the generic xRegistry registration lifecycle from the WoT work
into a standalone, master-targeted change:

- Canonical xRegistry identifier allocation (`XRegistryIdentifier`) with
case-folded bounded collision handling and exact Version
allocation/delete semantics.
- Registrar roles / capabilities in the xRegistry NodeSet2 model (only
the roles/capabilities facts).
- Default-Version views and Resource Meta handling.
- FileType read/write modes, session ownership/discard, cursor handling,
and short reads until actual EOF on the client.
- Atomic whole-document `ReplaceAsync` on the in-memory and file-system
resource stores.
- Generic projection engine/provisioning and projection contracts, label
ownership/no-op behavior, Resource-vs-Version event targets.
- Documentation in `docs/XRegistry.md` and XML docs for owned members.
- Tests: Identifier, RegistrarRoles, Attribute, Projection,
RegistrationEvent, FileMode, ResourceStore, Client, VersionAssignment,
concurrent read.

Intentionally excluded (handled in separate PRs): trusted Federation /
Registry origin model and provider (G9); WoT lease/dispatcher, prepared
manifest, 0.7 model/version bump (G12).

Merged current `master` (a14b23e7d) with an ordinary merge; no
conflicts.

## Qualification (head a8fb2d01)

- `b9b4f224`: `Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Tests` 411/411 passed on net10.0 and
net48 (raw exit 0). TRX SHA256 net10 `4F669A1A...B02B`, net48
`3EDBFF2A...7D29`.
- `a8fb2d01` differs from `b9b4f224` by one added blank line (static
whitespace-only proof, CRLF intact); no rebuild/rerun of tests on
`a8fb2d01`.
- `a8fb2d01`: default-analyzer `dotnet format --verify` on
`Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Tests` reports 0 findings in lines changed by this PR;
128 pre-existing baseline findings are untouched.
`Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Server`: 0 owned (13 baseline) as of `b9b4f224`.
- Not claimed: full UA.slnx, native, or all-CI results.

Marc Schier c2b95e2085 XRegistry: trusted logical-Resource federation identity (#4755)
# Description

Adds trusted **logical-Resource** federation identity to XRegistry - A
federation proxy binds an origin registry (`RegistryOriginDataType`),
application, portable `ResourceNodeId` and Xid, never an endpoint or
content-digest identity.

- `XRegistryFederationTarget`, `IXRegistryFederationProvider`,
`XRegistryClient.Federation` (verify/follow/relocate; uses master's
`ISessionBindingProvider.CreateBindingAsync`).
- `XRegistryFederationNodeManager`, `XRegistryServerOptions`/DI:
required target/provider verification and proxy admission.
- Model hunks only: `RegistryOriginDataType` 63026 (+encodings
63591/63592), `OriginRegistry` 63593 + `ResourceType` HasProperty,
`ExternalReference`/`ResourceUrl` description rewrites.
- Tests (`XRegistryFederationNodeManagerTests`), package READMEs,
`docs/XRegistry.md` Federation section (links `SessionBindings.md`).

Merged current master (a14b23e7) into the branch (ordinary merge, no
conflicts).

## Dependency merge gate (not in this PR)

- Group 8 owns registrar roles/capabilities (63027-63029, 63594-63600)
and generic registration/ProjectionEngine/FileType work. When G8 lands,
the model XML must be combined by whole-element merge keeping both
slices (one additive-tail textual conflict is expected).
- Model 0.7 / date / version and csproj package-version bump are
unallocated here (integration owner, Group 12). This is a partial model,
not a new release.
- WotCon live federation fixtures need the WoT registry base partial
(G8/G12) and are excluded.

## Verification (source b6a68701dc)

- Secured live Verify/Follow harness
(`XRegistryClientFederationLiveTests`, 15 cases, real
`XRegistryProjectionEngine` test host): **15/15 passed on net10.0** (TRX
SHA256 `F54DB38E...E518`) and **15/15 passed on net48** (local guarded
runs, raw exit 0).
- Owned `dotnet format --severity info --verify-no-changes` findings: 0.
Remaining findings are baseline only (`XRegistryClient.cs:532` RCS0055;
unrelated WotCon.Tests lines).
- Client fix: `CaptureFederationBindingAsync` maps only binding-capture
`ObjectDisposedException` to `BadSessionClosed`.
- **Not claimed:** full UA.slnx test run, coverage, NativeAOT, or CI
results; the `XRegistryFederationNodeManager` unit-test async changes
and `ClearChangeMasksAsync` change are source changes pending CI.

## Opaque identity capture (source
fb5ea84644)

- `XRegistryFederationTarget` and `XRegistryClient` now own a deep copy
of opaque (ByteString) `NodeId`/`ExpandedNodeId` identities before
portable identity capture (internal `XRegistryNodeIdCopy`,
compile-linked into the client; namespace index/URI/server index
preserved, non-opaque ids unchanged). No public API change.
- Public regression tests (`XRegistryOpaqueIdentityTests`):
`TargetResourceNodeIdIgnoresLaterBufferMutation`,
`TargetOriginRegistryNodeIdIgnoresLaterBufferMutation`,
`ClientRegistryNodeIdIgnoresLaterBufferMutation`,
`TargetNonOpaqueNodeIdsKeepTheirIdentity`.
- RED on old source (b6 + tests only, `b840e654`, net10.0): 3 mutation
tests failed, non-opaque control passed (TRX SHA256
`01B4868E...BEA3B9A`).
- GREEN at `d02480d9` (net10.0 and net48): 4/4 passed; full secure live
harness 15/15 on net10.0 and net48.
- `fb5ea84` differs from `d02480d9` only by a final newline in the new
test file (`git diff -w` empty); runtime results above were executed at
`d02480d9`, not re-executed at `fb5ea84`. Tests-project formatter at
`fb5ea84`: clean.
- Format: `XRegistry`/`Server` clean; `Client` only baseline
`XRegistryClient.cs:532` RCS0055; WotCon.Tests not re-run (restore
assets missing; hunks unchanged since b6 proof).
- **Not claimed:** full UA.slnx, coverage, NativeAOT, or CI results.

Marc SchierandCopilot c4e0721a29 Add a documentation learning path and fix issues found while verifying it (#4555)
## Summary

### Documentation
- Stage the documentation index as a learning path: a first application,
independent client, server, and PubSub paths, then data and services,
companion models, production, advanced integration, and draft or
experimental capabilities.
- Add Getting started (repository samples or NuGet packages), OPC UA
concepts, Your first information model, and a production readiness
checklist.
- Add Native AOT application publishing, a first PubSub publisher and
subscriber exchange, and the UDP transport options.
- Add or expand contents navigation throughout `docs/`, and keep
contributor documentation separate.
- Correct outdated SDK examples and capability guidance, consolidate
repeated explanations into canonical guides, and repair local links and
heading structure.
- Rewrite What's New in 2.0 as a concise feature overview with short
linked details; keep migration instructions in the Migration Guide.
- Expand the feature catalogue with specification IDs, GDS, LDS, the OPC
10000-21 onboarding registrar, ISA-95, xRegistry, OpenUSD, and
sample-local models; distinguish draft status, explain crypto
pluggability, and bring performance guidance forward.
- Address review feedback on wording, active monitored items during
shadow reload, and the `Samples.md` filename and references.
- Regenerate the `opcua-v20-migration` plugin's bundled copy of the
migration guides so it matches the edited `docs/migrate/2.0.x` guides.
- Merge the latest `master`, preserving upstream resource-isolation
guidance within the task-based documentation index.
- Retain deferred Lingity findings where appropriate; this PR does not
claim that every document meets the Lingity score thresholds.

### Fixes found while verifying the guides
Each fix has regression tests that fail without it.
- **Client:** V2 subscriptions compared their lifetime with the
operation timeout instead of the session timeout, and logged a spurious
warning. `ISubscriptionEngineContext`, which is new in 2.0, gains a
`SessionTimeout` property; implementations must add it.
- **PubSub:** a subscriber now registers the `DataSetMetaData`
configured on its readers (OPC 10000-14 6.2.9.4), and the UADP decoder
decodes DataSetMessages that carry no ConfigurationVersion. Before, a
secured subscriber of the reference sample received no DataSets.
- **Source generator:** a ModelDesign method that declares its arguments
inline, without a method type, produced code that did not compile; it
now uses `MethodState`. The generated code of existing models is
unchanged.
- **MinimalClient sample:** waits for its first data-change notification
before it disconnects.

### Known issues, not addressed here
- UDP multicast: the publisher does not send on the interface that the
subscriber joins, and `MulticastLoopback` defaults to false. The PubSub
guide uses unicast for the exchange on one computer.
- The UDP metadata announcement is sent unsecured on secured writer
groups; a secured subscriber drops it with a warning.
- A server does not start in globalization-invariant mode, because
`ResourceManager` creates `CultureInfo("en-US")`. The Native AOT guide
cautions against the mode.

## Validation
- `git diff --check` and
`./.azurepipelines/validate-migration-plugin.ps1` (15 bundled migration
docs validated, plugin manifests synchronized).
- Local Markdown links, anchors, file-link casing, and contents lists
checked across all 87 documents under `docs/`. The index links every
top-level guide and every target of the previous index.
- Both Getting started routes, Your first information model, the PubSub
exchange, and the Native AOT publish of the Getting started client and
server were run as documented. The NuGet route and the tutorial use the
public `2.0.0-preview.5` packages.
- The changed libraries build for all target frameworks in Release
without warnings.
- Tests on .NET 10: Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests 199 passed;
Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests 3,977 passed, 8 skipped;
Opc.Ua.Server.Tests `Fluent` category 621 passed; Opc.Ua.Client.Tests
subscription-engine tests 70 passed; Opc.Ua.PubSub.Tests 1,374 passed, 2
skipped; PubSub fuzz replay 145 passed. The new and affected tests also
pass on .NET Framework 4.8.
- Earlier merge validation: 174 resource-isolation tests passed on .NET
10.
- The full solution suite was not run locally.

Review and validation artifacts are maintained outside the repository.

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

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

## Authoritative dependencies

- companion specification: OPCF-Members/spec-drafts#32 at
  `d3399fca025025a73e5a6b599f850a81d985c060`
- OPC UA binding: xregistry/spec#568
- xRegistry event semantics: xregistry/spec#563, merged as
  `66ee31e47fbadff6ab982ae1516f7d9065e46b64`
- companion NodeSet SHA-256:
  `369f5f3f1814b333e4eeb52bfb4b6a730cdff372505a5f91a54c94f0016ac4cf`

## Review feedback

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

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

## Compatibility

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

## Validation

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

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

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

Marc SchierandCopilot 4eccafbe2f Remove AAS projects and samples (#4359)
# Description

Remove the Asset Administration Shell projects and samples from the
mainline
repository while preserving the complete implementation and history on
the
`aas` branch.

This change:

- removes the `Opc.Ua.Aas`, `Opc.Ua.Aas.Client`, `Opc.Ua.Aas.Server`,
and
  `Opc.Ua.Aas.WoT` projects;
- removes the AAS test project, AOT coverage, sample, and documentation;
- removes AAS entries from `UA.slnx`, the expected package list, and
related
  build configuration;
- removes the now-unused `System.IO.Packaging` package version; and
- updates remaining documentation and comments so they no longer
advertise
  removed AAS functionality.

The preservation branch `aas` points to the original `master` commit
before
this removal.

## Related Issues

- None.

## Validation

- `dotnet restore UA.slnx`
- `dotnet build UA.slnx -c Release --no-restore`
- Repository-wide sweep for dangling AAS project, package, file, and
  documentation references

The full Release build completed with zero errors. It reported 31
existing
analyzer warnings in files unrelated to this change.

Marc SchierandCopilot 397db603db Add OPC UA for Asset Administration Shell: the published OPC 30270 and v3 draft (#4244)
# Description

Implements the **Asset Administration Shell** companion specifications
on top of `marcschier/wot-type-binding`, in two halves that a Server
chooses between:

* **AAS V3** — the
[draft](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/tree/main/companion-specs/AAS)
(`http://opcfoundation.org/UA/I4AAS/v3/`), all sixteen conformance
units: the metamodel, the registry built on the abstract xRegistry base,
generational materialization, federation, packages with digest-bound
integrity, the Digital Product Passport vocabulary, and the Annex F
bridge to WoT Thing Descriptions.
* **AAS V2** — the published [OPC
30270](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/specs/OPC-30270/full)
(`http://opcfoundation.org/UA/I4AAS/`), which maps the AAS V2.0.1
metamodel: object model, ingestion of XML, JSON and AASX,
materialization, server and client.

The two are different metamodel generations rather than two revisions of
one model — V2 keeps `Asset` as a first-class Identifiable,
`identification.idType`, Views and ordered collections, none of which
survive into V3 — so they are **alternatives**. A Server hosts one or
the other; this is documented rather than enforced at startup. Each is
named for the generation it maps (`Opc.Ua.Aas.V2`, `Opc.Ua.Aas.V3`,
`AddAasV2Server`, `AddAasV3Server`), and what genuinely serves both
carries no marker and sits at the root of `Opc.Ua.Aas`: the
deterministic NodeId encoding and idShortPath conventions,
`AasOptional<T>`, the digest rule, the materialization diagnostics, the
AASX container walk, and the value and operation providers, which are
keyed on `NodeId` and `Variant` and so carry no version at all.

## What is in here

**New libraries**: `Opc.Ua.Aas`, `Opc.Ua.Aas.Server`,
`Opc.Ua.Aas.Client`, `Opc.Ua.Aas.WoT`, plus `samples/Aas` and
`docs/Aas.md`.

**Enabling changes to existing code**, each needed by the above:

* The OPC UA `Decimal` DataType added to `Opc.Ua.Types`, with its Part 6
§5.1.10 wire encoding. `BinaryDecoder` gained one internal member,
`TryReadRemainingBodyBytes`, because a trailing field with no
self-describing length cannot otherwise be read; `Decimal.Decode` is its
only caller. Part 6 Table 3 types the unscaled `Value` as an
**OctetString whose byte count is `Length` − 2**, not a length-prefixed
`ByteString`, so it carries no length of its own —
`DecimalEncodingTests` pins the body byte-for-byte against that mistake,
and against the `Length ≤ 2` values the same table calls invalid.
* The xRegistry projection engine extracted into
`Opc.Ua.XRegistry.Server` and `Opc.Ua.WotCon.Server` migrated onto it
(−848/+387 lines), with the WoT Connectivity tests passing **unedited**.
* Two source-generator fixes, both of which made a model impossible to
build (see below).

## Defects found and fixed along the way

Running the stack end to end, rather than trusting per-area test suites,
surfaced defects that no unit test caught. The ones worth a maintainer's
attention:

* **The generator emitted non-terminating constructors.** A structure
field with no declared default was initialized with `new T()`, so a
self-referential DataType (`AASReferenceDataType.referredSemanticId`)
recursed until the stack overflowed and `AddOpcUaAas` could not load the
model at all. The test host *died* rather than failing. Only the field
that closes a cycle is now left null.
* **The generator omitted `new` on a redeclared placeholder.**
`AASOrderedSubmodelElementCollectionType` redeclares the
`SubmodelElement` slot of its base type, and the generated `Add` method
hid the base one without saying so, so the V2 model would not compile.
No existing model could have hit either defect — both are build
failures, so anything that builds today is unaffected.
* **The metamodel half had never worked outside its unit tests**: the
emitted NodeSet declared no reference-type aliases and was rejected by
the loader; the Mandatory `Invoke` Method was never emitted, because a
NodeSet is imported as written rather than instantiated from its type;
the runtime bound at the authored namespace index instead of the one the
Server assigns; and `MethodDeclarationId` was addressed in the wrong
namespace. Every materializer test inspected the in-memory object graph,
which cannot see whether the graph is loadable — two tests now import it
exactly as `RuntimeNodeSetNodeManager` does.
* **The client could not see any Property member.** It browsed
`HasComponent` with subtypes, but `HasProperty` is a sibling under
`Aggregates`, so reading a value failed and invoking failed argument
validation.
* **Every repeated registry write forked a duplicate group and
resource** instead of adding a version, because the identifier was
re-derived against a sibling set that already contained the entity
itself. This also made the persistence bounds unreachable.
* `.gitignore`'s `**/packages/*` silently swallowed the whole
package-integrity implementation and its tests, which would have
vanished on a fresh clone.

## Specification findings

Nine findings against the V3 draft are fixed in
[marcschier/opcua-drafts#75](https://github.com/marcschier/opcua-drafts/pull/75).
The substantive one: clause 6.1.5's absent-versus-empty rule was
**unsatisfiable** for five container fields that materialize as parent
components with no node of their own, which made `AAS-LosslessRoundTrip`
unachievable.

OPC 30270 contradicts itself twice. Both are recorded in
`AasV2ConformanceUnits.cs` and the documentation rather than smoothed
over: Table 83 spells the unit `I4AAS MultiLangaugeProperty` where Table
85 spells it correctly, and Table 85 lists an `I4AAS Security` unit that
Table 83 never defines. Table 84, which would assign profile URIs, is
empty, so `ServerProfileArray` gains no I4AAS entry.

## Known limitation

Calling an `Operation` **with arguments** answers `BadTooManyArguments`.
Method resolution works from both the instance NodeId and the
`MethodDeclarationId`, and the argument definitions are published, but
`NodeState.AddChild` does not route through `MethodState.FindChild`, so
a Method imported from a NodeSet leaves its typed `InputArguments` null.
Closing this means changing how the shared NodeSet import claims typed
children, which affects every consumer of runtime NodeSets and is out of
scope here. It is documented in `docs/Aas.md` §11, the conformance
matrix marks `AAS-OperationInvoke` partial rather than claiming it, and
`samples/Aas` exercises the path and reports the status rather than
working around it. V2 is unaffected — its `Operation` is an
OptionalPlaceholder with no declared arguments.

% — all above the 80 % gate |
| Libraries | `Opc.Ua.Aas`, `.Server`, `.Client`, `.WoT` build clean on
every target framework, zero warnings |
| Regression | `Opc.Ua.Types` 8677, `Opc.Ua.WotCon` 1094,

Types 504, WotCon 1111, AAS 670, XRegistry 198 tests passed |
| CI | All 99 checks green on `ff9298e44`; only the CLA signature status
is outstanding |

### Review pass

A full review against both specifications, and for API consistency and
correctness, produced twelve
fixes. Each one has a test that fails without it.

| Defect | Where | Why it mattered |
|---|---|---|
| V2 projection aborted on **every** `File` read from a document |
`AasV2EnvironmentRuntime` | The runtime bound `File/Value`
unconditionally, the materializer emitted it only with content, and the
builder throws `BadNotFound` for an unknown NodeId — aborting the whole
registration. No reader ever populates `AasFile.File`, so no AAS V2
document could be hosted at all. |
| `aas-suppl` anchored on the wrong part | `AasxPackageReaderCore`,
`AasxPackageWriter` | IDTA and the Package Explorer anchor it on the
environment part; we used the origin part. Every real `.aasx` returned
zero supplementary files, silently. Affects both halves. |
| Federation failed closed on pooled connections | `AasFederation` |
`ConnectCallback` fires only for new connections, so the second fetch to
an origin — and all of net472/net48/netstandard2.1 — failed with a
security-flavoured error. The peer is now validated *inside* the
callback, which makes reuse safe by construction. |
| Malformed `Decimal` escaped as `ArgumentOutOfRangeException` |
`BinaryDecoder` | A declared body shorter than `Scale` produced a
negative read length. Two of the three test cases had been passing for
the wrong reason. |
| V2 and V3 cross-wired their value providers |
`OpcUaAasServerBuilderExtensions` | Both registered `IAasValueProvider`;
whichever was added first served both AddressSpaces. V2 now has its own
contract, so co-hosting is harmless rather than silently wrong.
`EnvironmentFolder` was also bound and ignored on the V2 path. |
| Export filter skipped three nesting kinds | `AasEnvironmentExporter` |
Content under `Entity`, `AnnotatedRelationshipElement` and `Operation`
was exported unevaluated *and* stamped with a Digest presenting it as
complete (clause 6.5.10). List authorization paths also shifted after a
denial. |
| Concealment held at the Method but not in the projection |
`AasRegistryModel` | `GetSubmodel` answered `BadNotFound` while an
anonymous Browse revealed the node, its identifier, semanticId and
digest (clause 6.5.7). |
| File handles were unsynchronized and unowned | `AasElementFileManager`
| The async node manager holds no lock, so concurrent Calls raced a bare
`Dictionary`; sequential handles let any Session read, seek or commit
another's. Writes were also unbounded. |
| Projection host was unimplementable outside the stack |
`AasEnvironmentProjection` | The handle demanded a type with an internal
constructor — our own tests used
`FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject` to get round it. Now mirrors
WotCon's interface-typed registration. |
| Embedded `FileType` omitted 7 of 10 Mandatory members |
`AasEnvironmentMaterializer` (V2) | OPC 10000-3 6.4.4 requires them all;
without `Size` and `OpenCount` a Client cannot size a read or detect an
abandoned handle. |
| Round-trip oracle ignored most of the model | `AasRoundTripComparer` |
`Blob`, `File`, `ReferenceElement` and `BasicEventElement` had no case
arm, so their fields compared equal by falling off the switch;
`valueType`, `semanticId`, `entityType` and `Key.type` were never read.
The clause 6.4 losslessness claim rested on it. |

Known, unchanged: calling an `Operation` with arguments answers
`BadTooManyArguments`, because
`NodeState.AddChild` does not route through `MethodState.FindChild`.
Documented in `docs/Aas.md` §11.

Not addressed in this pass, and worth a maintainer decision: OPC 30270
§9.2 says all NodeIds of
Nodes not defined in the companion specification **shall not** use the
standard namespaces, and
Table 87 marks a vendor-specific instance namespace Mandatory. Both
halves currently mint instances
in the companion namespace. Separating them touches NodeId minting, the
runtime and the client
together, so it is better done deliberately than folded into a review
pass.
This is a large change and touches shared code (`Opc.Ua.Types`, the
source generator, the xRegistry projection). It is deliberately a draft:
the enabling changes are separable if maintainers would prefer them
split into their own PRs. The latest `master` is merged into this branch
in `0dd0ff0e1`.

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

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

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

## Types

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

## Source generation

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

## Server

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

## xRegistry

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

## WoT Connectivity

- Add the WoT Connectivity 1.1 information model: a registry-first
revision layered on the abstract xRegistry base model, incorporating the
complete published OPC 10100-1 v1.02 surface as deprecated nodes in the
same namespace so existing 1.02 clients keep working (#4139).
- Add the protocol binding abstractions and planners that compile WoT
forms into executable plans (#4140).
- Add the HTTP, Modbus, OPC UA and MQTT binding executors (#4144).
- Add the registry and its stores, including document versioning,
validation, dependency resolution and refresh (#4146).
- Add the registry client (#4142).
- Materialize WoT Thing Descriptions into the server address space,
deriving types from Thing Models and instances from Thing Descriptions
(#4154).
- Restore the WoT asset registry bridge so the deprecated 1.02 asset
surface is backed by the registry (#4171).
- Add the WoT Connectivity samples and complete the documentation
(#4156), and restore the remaining coverage and docs (#4172).

## New projects

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

## Follow-up

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

## Validation

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

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

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

## Packages

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

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

## The model is compiled, not loaded

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

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

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

## What it does

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

## Extensibility

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

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

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

## State

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

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

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

## Transport security

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

## Hardening

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

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

## A source generator bug fixed along the way

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

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

## Other fixes applied while extracting

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

## Tests

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

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