Klaus LandsdorfandMarc Schier 0bd7aaaad6 AutoID: keep every reader reachable from DeviceSet, and let a reader be a component of a machine (#4853)
# Description

Follow-up to the AutoID companion (#4825). Two changes to where the
AutoID server places its readers:

1. **`IAutoIdReaderBuilder.WithParent` is made conformant with OPC
10000-100 4.9.** Until now it placed a reader below another node
*instead of* `DeviceSet`, and the docs suggested "a component of a
machine" as the use case. A machine in the Machinery `Machines` folder
is not reachable from `DeviceSet`, so such a reader could not be located
from `DeviceSet`, which DI 4.9 requires for every `ComponentType`
instance (every AutoID device type derives from DI `DeviceType`). Now
the reader is still placed below the parent (`HasComponent`, unchanged),
and:
- when `DeviceSet` already reaches the parent through hierarchical
references (for example another reader, or any device it organizes),
nothing else is added: the reader is a component of a composed device
and DI 4.9 wants "only the root instance" referenced from `DeviceSet`;
- otherwise `DeviceSet` also organizes the reader (`Organizes`, both
directions), so it stays locatable.
2. **New opt-in `IAutoIdReaderBuilder.AsComponentOf(BaseObjectState
machine)`**, available only when AutoID is composed with Machinery
(`AddAutoIdToMachinery`, or a DI owner that loads the Machinery model).
It makes the reader an identifiable component of the machine per OPC
40001-1 11:
- the reader is placed below the machine's `Components` add-in
(`HasComponent`, as `MachineComponentsType` declares for `<Component>`);
- it gets the `2:Identification` add-in (`HasAddIn`) typed
`MachineryComponentIdentificationType`, which holds no copies: it
references the reader's own DI nameplate properties with `HasProperty`
(`Manufacturer`, `SerialNumber`, and those of `Model`,
`ManufacturerUri`, `ProductCode`, `HardwareRevision`,
`SoftwareRevision`, `DeviceRevision`, `DeviceClass`,
`ProductInstanceUri` that are set, plus `AssetId`/`ComponentName` when
published; `DeviceManual` and `RevisionCounter` are left out as 40001-1
10.2 recommends);
- the reader stays a device: the same `DeviceSet` rule as for
`WithParent` applies with `Components` as the parent, so in the usual
case (a machine in `Machines` that `DeviceSet` does not reach)
`DeviceSet` organizes it directly. It is not added to `Machines`.
- Checked before anything is registered, each failing with
`Bad_ConfigurationError` and a message naming the way out: the server
has no Machinery model (names `AddAutoIdToMachinery`), the machine is
not a node of the AutoID owner, the machine has no `Components` add-in
(names `WithComponents`), or the reader nameplate lacks `Manufacturer`
and/or `SerialNumber` (mandatory in `MachineryItemIdentificationType`).
`WithParent` and `AsComponentOf` exclude each other
(`InvalidOperationException`).

Default behaviour is unchanged: a reader built without
`WithParent`/`AsComponentOf` is organized by `DeviceSet` and not added
to `Machines`. Rollback on failure covers the new references: a failed
build removes the `DeviceSet` reference, the component and its add-in,
so the name can be used again.

## Specification basis

| Statement | Source |
| --- | --- |
| "The DeviceSet Object is the starting point to locate Devices. It
shall either directly or indirectly reference all instances of a subtype
of ComponentType with a Hierarchical Reference. For complex Devices that
are composed of various components that are also Devices, only the root
instance shall be referenced from the DeviceSet Object. The components
of such complex Devices shall be locatable by following Hierarchical
References from the root instance." | OPC 10000-100 (DI) 1.05.0, 4.9 |
| AutoID device types are "Subtype of DeviceType defined in OPC
10000-100". OPC 30010 does not mention `DeviceSet`, Machinery or
`Machines`. | OPC 30010 (AutoID) 1.01, 6.1 Table 7 |
| "Each Machine providing this building block provides the Components
Object, which directly references all identifiable components of a
Machine." / "Note: That does not preclude that a Machine is organizing
its components in various other hierarchies as well." | OPC 40001-1
(Machinery) 1.04.2, 11.1 |
| "The MachineComponentsType provides HasComponent References to all
identifiable components of a Machine"; Table 27: `0:HasComponent Object
<Component> 0:BaseObjectType OP`; Table 28: `<Component> 0:HasAddIn
Object 2:Identification MachineryItemIdentificationType M`; "As all
identifiable components shall contain the Identification Object". | OPC

| `MachineryItemIdentificationType`: `2:Manufacturer` M,
`2:SerialNumber` M, all other members O. | OPC 40001-1 1.04.2, 8.3 Table
16 |
| `MachineryComponentIdentificationType` is the component subtype of
`MachineryItemIdentificationType` (adds `2:DeviceRevision`); "It is not
recommended to use the optional Properties 2:RevisionCounter and
2:DeviceManual"; a missing component `2:ProductInstanceUri` "shall be
omitted". | OPC 40001-1 1.04.2, 10.2 |
| "it is recommended to keep this approach and let several References
lead to the same Node, rather than duplicating the Node" / Robotics
example: identification Properties "are only referenced from the
Identification functional group". | OPC 40001-1 1.04.2, 7.3 and Annex
B.2 (informative) |
| "It is expected that domain-specific companion specifications using
this specification will define what assets of the domain in what usage
are considered to be Machines or components of Machines." | OPC 40001-1
1.04.2, 11.1 (Note) |
| Organizes "can be used to span multiple hierarchies"; more than one
hierarchical path to a Node is allowed. | OPC 10000-3 1.05, 7.11, 7.5 |

**SDK decisions** (not specified by OPC 30010, which predates
Machinery):

- A reader is never added to `Machines`: no specification classifies an
AutoID device as a machine (40001-1 11.1 leaves that to the domain
specifications, AutoID is silent).
- A reader becomes a component of a machine only when the application
asks for it (`AsComponentOf`).
- `WithParent` keeps its parent and adds the `DeviceSet` reference
rather than rejecting parents outside `DeviceSet` (see below).
- The component `Identification` references the reader's nameplate
instead of copying it.
- AutoID does not add Machinery conformance units; the Machinery owner
advertises them for what its builders created.

### Why `WithParent` adds a reference instead of rejecting

DI 4.9 asks for reachability, not for a particular parent, and OPC
10000-3 allows several hierarchical paths to one node. Adding
`Organizes` from `DeviceSet` satisfies the "shall" while keeping the
parent the application asked for, and it is the same reference type
`DeviceSet` already uses for every reader (and the DI node manager for
every device). Rejecting such parents with `Bad_ConfigurationError`
would break existing callers that hang a reader below a machine or
folder. When `DeviceSet` already reaches the parent, no reference is
added, so the "only the root instance" rule of 4.9 holds for composed
devices. Reachability is decided once when the reader is built, by
following the forward hierarchical references of the owner's nodes.

### Why `AsComponentOf` keeps the reader referenced from `DeviceSet`

Machinery does not require machines to be in `DeviceSet` (the stock
builders put them in `Machines` only), so a reader that is only below
`Components` would again be unreachable from `DeviceSet`. The same
reachability rule as for `WithParent` applies: if the machine is itself
reachable from `DeviceSet` (for example a machine that is also a DI
device organized by `DeviceSet`), the reader is reached through it and
gets no direct reference, otherwise `DeviceSet` organizes it.

### Shape of `AsComponentOf`

It takes the machine's `BaseObjectState`, like `WithParent(NodeState)`
and `IMachineryBuildContext.BindMachine(TState, ...)`; with the stock
builders that is `IMachineHandle<TState>.State`. It requires the
machine's `Components` add-in to exist
(`IMachineBuilder.WithComponents`, or a companion-declared one bound
with `WithComponents(components, ...)`) instead of creating one, so the
Machinery builders stay the only place that creates Machinery building
blocks (`MachineryBuildingBlocks` organization, facets). The reader's
NodeState parent is the `Components` object, so the DI node manager
attaches it with `HasComponent` and the existing registration and
rollback code applies unchanged.

## Behaviour change for existing callers

- `WithParent(parent)` with a parent that `DeviceSet` does not reach
(for example a machine in `Machines`, or an application folder): the
reader is now *also* browsable from `DeviceSet` (one extra `Organizes`
reference, both directions), and an
`AutoIdClient.EnumerateReadersAsync()` (which browses `DeviceSet`) now
finds it. Its parent, NodeId and `HasComponent` reference are unchanged.
- `WithParent(parent)` with a parent `DeviceSet` reaches (for example
another reader): unchanged.
- Default placement: unchanged.
- `IAutoIdReaderBuilder` gains a member. The interface is implemented
only inside the package (instances come from `AutoIdRuntime.Reader`),
and the package is new in 2.0.

## Changes

- `src/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server/AutoIdReaderPlacement.cs` (new, internal):
`DeviceSet` lookup, the reachability check, the `Organizes` reference
and its removal, `Components` resolution and validation, the nameplate
check, and the `Identification` add-in.
- `src/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server/AutoIdRuntime.cs`: the builder's nameplate
delegate runs once (validated before anything is registered, then copied
into the DI builder); `AsComponentOf` resolves `Components` as the
parent before the device is created; after registration the add-in is
added and the `DeviceSet` reference kept; rollback removes the
reference.
- `src/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server/Builders/IAutoIdReaderBuilder.cs`,
`AutoIdReaderBuilder.cs`: `AsComponentOf`, mutual exclusion with
`WithParent`, XML docs stating the exact behaviour.
- `docs/AutoID.md`: new "Placement" subsection under "Hosting readers"
(what DI 4.9 and Machinery 11 require, what is an SDK decision, a table
per builder call, an example), the composition table rows for readers
and `Machines`, the test fixture table.
`src/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server/NugetREADME.md`: a short paragraph.
- Tests (below).

## Tests

- `AutoIdReaderLifecycleTests` (stand-alone owner):
`ReadersCanHangBelowAnExplicitParentAsync` now also asserts that
`DeviceSet` does not organize a reader below another reader;
`AReaderBelowAParentOutsideTheDeviceSetIsStillOrganizedByItAsync`;
`AFailedCreationBelowAnOutsideParentLeavesNoDeviceSetReferenceAsync`
(rollback); `AStandaloneReaderCannotBeAComponentOfAMachineAsync`
(`Bad_ConfigurationError` naming `AddAutoIdToMachinery`); argument
checks for `AsComponentOf(null)` and both call orders of
`WithParent`/`AsComponentOf`.
- `AutoIdCompositionTests` (Machinery owner, in process):
`AReaderBecomesAComponentOfAMachineAndStaysADeviceAsync` (parent is
`Components`, `HasComponent`, `DeviceSet` organizes it, `Machines` does
not, `Identification` with `HasAddIn` and the component type,
`HasProperty` to the reader's own `Manufacturer`/`SerialNumber`/`Model`
nodes, no `DeviceManual`, owned subtree);
`AComponentNeedsAMachineWithComponentsAndRegistersNothingOtherwiseAsync`;
`AComponentNeedsTheMandatoryIdentificationAsync`;
`AComponentNeedsAMachineOfTheOwnerAsync`;
`AFailedComponentCreationIsRolledBackAsync`.
- `AutoIdPlacementEndToEndTests` (new, hosted Machinery + AutoID over a
real session): a default reader, a reader below that reader, a reader
`AsComponentOf` a machine and a reader `WithParent` the machine.
Browsing `DeviceSet` finds the three roots and not the nested reader,
the outer reader reaches the nested one;
`MachineryClient.DiscoverMachinesAsync` returns only the machine and
`Machines` contains no reader;
`MachineryClient.EnumerateComponentsAsync` lists only the component
reader, `ReadIdentificationAsync` reads `Manufacturer`, `SerialNumber`,
`ProductCode` through the add-in, which is `HasAddIn`-referenced and
typed `MachineryComponentIdentificationType` and whose `HasProperty`
targets are the reader's own nameplate nodes;
`AutoIdClient.EnumerateReadersAsync` finds the three roots.
- The existing default assertions
(`TheReadersShareTheDeviceSetWithThePumpAndStayOutOfTheMachinesFolderAsync`,
`TheMachineryAndPumpsClientsStillFindTheirInstancesAsync`,
`ComposedReadersLiveBelowTheSharedDeviceSetAsync`) are unchanged.
- Fail-without: with the runtime wiring reverted to master (builder
surface kept so the tests compile), 10 of the new tests fail: all
`AsComponentOf` cases, both `WithParent` cases outside `DeviceSet` and
the three session tests that look for the component or the extra
`DeviceSet` reference. Removing only the rollback of the `DeviceSet`
reference makes both rollback tests fail. `NoReaderBecomesAMachineAsync`
and the existing default tests pass with and without the change, as
intended.

Local results (macOS arm64, SDK 10.0.402, head `238ed9b69` on master
`9bfc780e1`; the same three commits are now based on master `ac24123dd`
as `c6d70909b`, no AutoID file changed in between):
`Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` net10.0 318/318 passed; `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server` all
TFMs and the test project with `CustomTestTarget=net48` build with 0
warnings, 0 errors (net48 tests run on Windows CI; there is no mono host
here). `dotnet format whitespace/style/analyzers --verify-no-changes` on
the changed files: no new findings beyond the conventions of the
surrounding test files.

## Commits

1. `fix(autoid): keep every reader reachable from DeviceSet`
2. `feat(autoid): make a reader a component of a machine`
3. `docs(autoid): document where readers are placed`

The branch is based on OPCFoundation/master `ac24123dd` (#4852, the last
master commit with a green build). Fork CI was not repeated on this
head: earlier fork runs of this branch failed only in test projects
outside this PR (the master build was broken by the NUnit 5 migration
#4840 and fixed in #4852; master is currently broken again in
`Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` by #4849). The upstream checks of this PR test it
against the current master.

## Related Issues

- Follow-up to #4825 (tracking issue #4824).
- #4823 (open) edits prose in other paragraphs of `docs/AutoID.md`
(table of contents, the DI-owner paragraph, providers). This PR adds a
subsection and changes two rows of the composition table and one row of
the test table; no hunk overlaps. The table of contents is deliberately
not touched here because #4823 adds the subsection entries for "Hosting
readers"; the "Placement" entry can be added there or after both are
merged.

Klaus LandsdorfandMarc Schier a51f08ad6f AutoID client: read a device's status without browsing (#4854)
# Description

A follow-up to #4825. It adds
`AutoIdClient.RefreshDeviceAsync(AutoIdDeviceSnapshot,
CancellationToken)`, which reads the variables of a reader device that
change at runtime again through the NodeIds a snapshot already carries.
It makes one Read and no Browse.

## Why

`ReadDeviceAsync` browses the children of the device on every call. OPC
30010 makes most device variables and methods optional, so the browse is
how the client finds out what this device publishes.
`AutoIdReadOptions.StatusOnly` only narrows the Read. This is the point
the Copilot review raised on #4825
([discussion](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/pull/4825#discussion_r4308032841)).
1458af9e9 documented the behaviour, but a client that polls the status
of N readers still pays N Browse and N Read requests per cycle. One Read
per reader would do.

`AutoIdDeviceSnapshot` already carries what a poll needs:
`DeviceStatusId`, `LastScanDataId`, `LastScanTimestampId`,
`DeviceLocationId` and `Methods`, all taken from that browse.
`RefreshDeviceAsync` uses them.

## Change

- **`RefreshDeviceAsync(snapshot)`** reads `DeviceStatus` and, when the
device publishes them, `LastScanData`, `LastScanTimestamp` and
`DeviceLocation`. That is one Read of one to four variables and no
Browse. It returns a copy of the snapshot (`with`), and every other
member, including `Methods` and the NodeIds, is unchanged.
- **Stateless.** The client keeps no cache. The caller holds the
snapshot, as with the other companion clients
(`PumpsClient.ReadPumpAsync`, `ScalesClient.ReadSnapshotAsync`, and
Robotics' `RefreshAsync` on its handles). A poller calls
`ReadDeviceAsync` once and then passes the snapshot to
`RefreshDeviceAsync` on every cycle.
- **Stale snapshot.** The snapshot is not validated against the server.
If it no longer matches the device (the device or a variable was
deleted, or the server assigned other NodeIds after a restart), the
status of the Read surfaces:
- a bad status for `DeviceStatus` (for example `BadNodeIdUnknown`) is
thrown as `ServiceResultException` with that status;
- a bad status for `LastScanData` is returned in `LastScanStatus` with a
null value;
- a bad `LastScanTimestamp` or `DeviceLocation` leaves that member at
its default.

In each case the caller reads the device again with `ReadDeviceAsync`.
That also picks up optional variables and methods the device published
after the snapshot was taken.
- **Arguments.** A null snapshot throws `ArgumentNullException`. A
snapshot without a `DeviceStatus` NodeId (not obtained from
`ReadDeviceAsync`) throws `ArgumentException`. Neither one makes a
service call.
- **Docs.** Covered in the XML docs of `ReadDeviceAsync`,
`RefreshDeviceAsync`, `AutoIdReadOptions` and `AutoIdDeviceSnapshot`, in
`docs/AutoID.md` and in the client `NugetREADME.md`. The wording
maintainers gave `AutoIdReadOptions` in 1458af9e9 stays as it is, with
one added sentence that points to `RefreshDeviceAsync`. `docs/AutoID.md`
states the cost of each call:

| Call | Network cost |
| --- | --- |
| `ReadDeviceAsync(reader)` | One Browse of the device's children
(BrowseNext only if the server pages the result), one Read of every
published variable |
| `ReadDeviceAsync(reader, AutoIdReadOptions.StatusOnly)` | One Browse,
one Read of two variables (`DeviceStatus`, `DeviceName`) |
| `RefreshDeviceAsync(snapshot)` | One Read of up to four variables, no
Browse |

The change is additive. No existing member changes behaviour, and there
are no new dependencies. The MCP `autoid_read_device` tool still uses
`ReadDeviceAsync`, because a single MCP tool call has no snapshot to
refresh.

## Tests

`tests/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests`:

- `AutoIdRefreshDeviceTests` (new, 7 tests) uses a `MockBehavior.Strict`
`ISession` with `VerifyNoOtherCalls`, so any Browse, BrowseNext or
second Read fails the test:
- one Read of exactly the four snapshot NodeIds (Value attribute,
`maxAge` 0), with the values mapped and the other members (`Methods`,
`DeviceName`, NodeIds) unchanged;
- a device without the optional variables is refreshed with a
one-variable Read;
- a stale `DeviceStatus` NodeId throws with the Read's status
(`BadNodeIdUnknown`);
- a stale `LastScanData` surfaces `BadNodeIdUnknown` in
`LastScanStatus`, and a bad timestamp or location resets those members;
  - a result-count mismatch throws `BadUnexpectedError`;
  - null and invalid snapshots are rejected without a service call;
  - cancellation reaches the Read.
- `AutoIdReaderEndToEndTests` (2 new tests against the hosted AutoID
server over opc.tcp):
- `ARefreshedSnapshotCarriesTheCurrentStatusAsync`: a reader is read
once, then faulted on the server. The refreshed snapshot shows `Error`
and the methods from the original browse.
- `ARefreshOfAStaleSnapshotSurfacesTheStatusOfTheReadAsync`: snapshots
whose NodeIds the server does not know (as after a deletion).
`LastScanStatus` carries `BadNodeIdUnknown`, and an unknown
`DeviceStatus` NodeId throws `BadNodeIdUnknown`.
- **Fail-without (mutation checks):**
- With a Browse of the device's children added to `RefreshDeviceAsync`,
every strict-mock test that reaches the Read fails.
- With a bad `LastScanData` status masked to `BadNotFound` (the
`ReadDeviceAsync` convention for optional variables),
`AStaleOptionalVariableSurfacesItsStatusWithoutThrowingAsync` and the
end-to-end stale-snapshot test fail.
  - Without the method, the tests do not compile.

## Verification (local, macOS arm64, SDK 10.0.402 from `global.json`)

Head 2118c2439 on OPCFoundation/master ac24123dd (#4852), which includes
the NUnit 5 migration (#4840). The new tests follow the NUnit 5
conventions in `docs/DeveloperGuide.md`: `Assert.ThrowsAsync` and
`Assert.MultipleAsync` are awaited, and the enclosing test returns
`Task`.

- `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` on net10.0: 315 passed, 0 failed (9 of them
new).
- `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` builds with `-p:CustomTestTarget=net48` with 0
warnings and 0 errors. Running net48 needs Windows, so the fork CI
covers it.
- `dotnet format` whitespace, style and analyzers at `--severity info`,
verify-no-changes on the changed `.cs` files: no findings in the new
code.
The branch is based on OPCFoundation/master `ac24123dd` (#4852, the last
master commit with a green build). Fork CI was not repeated on this
head: earlier fork runs of this branch failed only in test projects
outside this PR (the master build was broken by the NUnit 5 migration
#4840 and fixed in #4852; master is currently broken again in
`Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` by #4849). The upstream checks of this PR test it
against the current master.

## Related Issues

- Follow-up to #4825 (tracking issue #4824). Resolves the polling-cost
point of the Copilot review on `AutoIdReadOptions` in #4825.
- #4823 (open) edits prose in other sections of `docs/AutoID.md`. There
is no textual overlap with the client section changed here.

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. |

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 994d7b34da Fix CI test duration regressions (#4861)
# Description

Partition the long-running sample and WoT test suites into bounded,
non-overlapping CI shards, and give all workloads the standard 45-minute
test-execution budget. Account for setup/build overhead separately in
the job timeout so builds do not consume test timeouts. Remove the
former sample, integration, WoT, and server-specific timeout exceptions
while retaining complete test scheduling.

Focused matrix tests pass (25/25); full and PR matrix generation
succeeds at 238 and 98 jobs, respectively. PowerShell syntax parsing and
`git diff --check` pass. The full solution test suite was not run
locally.

Wolfgang ColsmanandMarc Schier 6d2c7c0c67 WoT: retire a generation's event bindings before releasing their sources (#4860)
Fixes the intermittent failure of
`WotEventModesLiveTests.NativeRetiringGenerationUsesCapturedActionsUntilDrainAsync`
(introduced with #4757), which currently fails on master and on
unrelated PRs, e.g. the master push run
[39410642994](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/39410642994)
and #4836's run
[39410362062](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/39410362062/job/118588752785):

```
Expected: BadEventIdUnknown [0x809A0000]
But was:  BadSecurityChecksFailed [0x80130000]
```

### Cause

`WotProjectionBindingRuntime.DisposeAsync` disposed the event sources
and channel slots (which disposes the captured `WotEventSource` binding)
before it cleared its `WotProjectedEventBinding`s. During a shadow
reload, the route registry resolves a Condition action's EventId across
generations, so a call arriving in that window still resolved on the
retiring binding and invoked through the disposed source:
`WotCapturedConditionAction.InvokeAsync` → `Source.Validate()` →
`BadSecurityChecksFailed`.

### Fix

- The runtime clears its event bindings right after cancelling its
lifetime, so no further action resolves on them, and waits until the
action calls already resolved on them have ended before disposing the
sources and slots.
- `TryResolveOwnAction` / `ResolveAction` hand out a call handle that
the Method handler holds until the invocation ends
(`WotProjectedEventBinding.WhenActionCallsCompletedAsync`). All touched
types are internal; no public API changes.

### Tests

- New
`WotRetainedConditionRefreshTests.RetiredBindingWaitsForAResolvedActionCallAndResolvesNoOtherAsync`
(both identity modes): a retired binding keeps a resolved call until it
is disposed and resolves no other call (`BadEventIdUnknown`).
- `NativeRetiringGenerationUsesCapturedActionsUntilDrainAsync` locally
(Windows, net10.0), 20 runs each: master 17 passed / 3 failed with
`BadSecurityChecksFailed`; this branch 20 / 20 passed.
- `WotRetainedConditionRefreshTests`, `WotPrivateEventCaptureTests`,
`WotEventCapacityOwnershipTests` (123) and `WotEventModesLiveTests` (74)
pass.

b72eb44a31 Redundancy: bound the Raft log with the engine's snapshots (#4836)
# Description

**Draft: builds on #4835 and waits for a RaftCs release** containing
marcschier/raft-cs#9, marcschier/raft-cs#10 and marcschier/raft-cs#11,
anticipated as 1.1.4. It contains the commit of #4835; review only the
second commit.

`RaftSharedKeyValueStore` can capture and restore its state (#4794), but
`IRaftConsensus` carries no log indices, so the store cannot bound the
RaftCs log, which grows without limit. This change uses the engine's
snapshots:

- `IRaftSnapshotConsensus` (`CommittedItems` with log indices and
snapshots, `CompactAsync`) and `RaftCommittedItem`.
`DefaultRaftConsensus` implements it over `RaftNode.CommittedItems`,
`CreateSnapshotAsync` and `CompactAsync`.
- `RaftSharedKeyValueStore` gains a constructor overload with a
compaction interval and an optional logger (the existing constructors
are unchanged) and `AppliedIndex`. Over an `IRaftSnapshotConsensus` it
applies the indexed stream. A snapshot on that stream (a lagging replica
installing the leader's snapshot, or the first item after a restart)
replaces the state and publishes the differences to watchers. Every
compaction interval it snapshots its state into the engine, which
discards the log behind it. A compaction that fails is logged and
retried at the next interval.
- The engine snapshot is a format marker followed by the snapshot
encoding of #4794, so it carries the command position: the commands
after it keep the positions they have on every replica, and
`CreateSnapshotAsync`/`RestoreSnapshotAsync` keep working over it. No
compaction runs while a store restored with `FromFirstCommand` still
skips the replayed commands its snapshot holds.
- A snapshot in another format stops the applier. Pending and later
proposals and watches then fail with its error instead of waiting.
- `AppliedIndex` is published once the state holds an item, before
watchers and the proposer learn of it.
- Registration: `RedundancyConsistencyOptions.RaftCompactionInterval`
(server), and overloads of `AddRaftClientSharedStore` and
`AddRedundantClientSharedStore` that take the interval (client). Zero,
the default, never compacts. The store's logger comes from the
registered `ITelemetryContext`, else `ILoggerFactory`.
- `HighAvailability.md` describes the compaction and warns that a
replica must not be rolled back to a release without engine snapshots
once the cluster compacted its log.

No public member is removed or changed.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 2ba86e3a3b Server: queue the items of an event on several threads (#4859)
# Description

E2 of the event-heavy server load investigation (follows #4837 and
#4845).

### Problem

After #4845 (each event is evaluated once per distinct filter), the
event consumer of the Server node still ran on one core.
`MonitoredNode2` started the delivery of an event to every item and
awaited `Task.WhenAll`. Unless a permission check completed
asynchronously, every delivery ran synchronously on the consumer thread,
so one thread queued every item of every event. Each event also
allocated an `IEventMonitoredItem[]` snapshot
(`ConcurrentDictionary.Values`) and a `List<Task>`/`Task[]` sized to the
item count.

### Change (`MonitoredNode2`, multi-consumer nodes such as the Server
node)

- **Collect on the consumer.** Items are enumerated straight from
`EventMonitoredItems`. The audit filter and the #4845 group lookup run
there too. The results go into an `(item, key, evaluation)` struct
buffer that is reused for every batch and cleared afterwards, so the
per-event snapshot array and the per-item task list are gone.
- **Consumer keeps up (no notification waiting in the channel).** It
queues the event itself and does not wake pool threads. It splits only
what is left of an event after 1 ms (a very large event).
- **Consumer is behind (notifications waiting).** It also takes up to 3
more waiting events for the same items. It splits the batch at once into
ranges of at least 32 items, at most `min(ProcessorCount, 8)`, with one
range on the consumer thread. Each range queues the events of the batch
to its items one after the other. An event for different items (for
example an audit event that only reaches secure sessions) ends the batch
and is processed next; a fence or data change ends it too.
- **Ordering.** Every item still gets its events in order. A range waits
for its items' pending (asynchronous) permission checks before it queues
the next event of the batch, and the next batch is read only after all
ranges finished. A delivery that waits for a permission check still does
not hold up the other items.

The node-wide barrier per event now applies per batch: while one item
waits for its permission check, items in other ranges may already get
the next event of the same batch.

### Results

perf/ServerLoadHarness `events`: 50 sessions × 15 subscriptions,
publishing 100 ms, encrypt, `DOTNET_gcServer=1`. Paired A/B against
master 4ae2395f3 (with #4845), 2 alternating rounds. Runs where
processes outside the harness used more than 1.5 cores were repeated.

| | master | this PR | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| rate 0: generated events/s | 1,805 / 2,227 | 4,127 / 3,867 | **+98 %**
|
| rate 0: server CPU µs per generated event | 1,832 / 1,787 | 1,951 /
2,011 | +9 % |
| rate 0: server KB per generated event | 112 / 110 | 91 / 92 | −18 % |
| rate 0: server cores | 3.30 / 3.97 | 8.02 / 7.76 | |
| rate 500: server CPU µs per generated event | 2,927 / 2,511 | 3,345 /
2,978 | +16 % |
| rate 500: server KB per generated event | 157 / 157 | 145 / 145 | −8 %
|
| rate 500: p50 / p99 latency ms | 68.4 / 130, 68.4 / 130 | 67.6 / 125,
67.6 / 127 | = |

- A CPU trace at rate 0 shows no saturated server thread any more.
- At rate 500, the harness's paced generator reports bursts (it sleeps
about 1–15 ms between them), so events wait and the consumer splits. The
rate-500 profiles of master and this PR have the same shape and the same
number of managed on-CPU samples. The extra process CPU (about 0.2
cores) fits kernel time for waking and parking pool threads.
- Master's own throughput varied between 1,800 and 2,800 events/s across
batches on this shared machine, so only the paired numbers are
meaningful.

### Tests

- New in `EventDeliveryOrderRegressionTests`:
- per-item order over 200 items × 50 events with split batches, also
with permission checks that complete asynchronously or late;
  - two ranges queue at the same time;
- an item whose permission check waits gets the next event only after
the previous one;
- waiting events for different items (audit events between other events)
keep every item's order and none is lost.
- `SharedEventEvaluationTests`: the mixed-filter and evaluated-once
tests also run with every event split into ranges of one item.
- Mutation-checked: dropping the join, the in-range wait or the parallel
start fails the new tests.
- Opc.Ua.Server.Tests (net10.0): 9,358 passed, 0 failed, 6 skipped.
Opc.Ua.Server and Opc.Ua.Server.Tests build for net48.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 bd38870cf7 perf: pump the server child's stdout on a dedicated thread (#4855)
## Summary

The 1-core client stall in the server load harness (`--client-cores 1`,
write->notify p99 0.7-1.7 s) was caused by the harness, not the OPC UA
client.

`StartServerChild` started `PumpServerOutput` with `Task.Run`. The pump
blocks in a synchronous `StreamReader.ReadLine` on the server's stdout
for the whole run, so it held one thread-pool worker permanently. With
`DOTNET_PROCESSOR_COUNT=1` the pool's minimum is one worker, so all
other work items waited for the pool's starvation injection. That is why
`DOTNET_ThreadPool_ForceMinWorkerThreads=8` and two processors both hid
the stall.

**Evidence:** 14 `dotnet-stack` samples of the constrained client during
the measurement window. In every sample, the only blocked pool worker
was in `ReadFile <- StreamReader.ReadLine <- Program.PumpServerOutput <-
StartServerChild`, and the other workers were idle. No `Opc.Ua` frame
was blocked.

**Fix:** run the pump on a dedicated background thread.

## Numbers

`run --scenario sub --sessions 25 --subs 20 --nodes 100 --pub 500
--write-interval 100 --duration 10 --warmup 6 --client-cores 1
--client-memory 512`, 5 alternating rounds (ms):

| round | base write->notify p99 | fix write->notify p99 | base write
p99 | fix write p99 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 659 | 61 | 619 | 12 |
| 2 | 885 | 310 | 859 | 15 |
| 3 | 306 | 303 | 52 | 23 |
| 4 | 1717 | 455 | 408 | 81 |
| 5 | 234 | 193 | 148 | 67 |

The baseline stalled (> 600 ms) in 3 of 5 runs and the fix in 0 of 5
(max 492 ms). The remaining ~300 ms p99 comes from the 500 ms publishing
interval.

## Test plan

50062cde1b PKCS#11 store: pair a certificate without a CKA_ID only with its own key (#4826)
# Description

Follow-up to #4792. `Pkcs11CertificateStore.LoadPrivateKeyAsync` skipped
a certificate whose CKA_ID cannot be read, but a certificate with an
**empty** CKA_ID still reached `Pkcs11Token.FindPrivateKey`, which then
selects a key by the configured object filters alone and, without any
filter, returns the first private key of the token's key type. That key
may belong to another certificate, so the store could return an identity
whose signatures its certificate does not verify.

A certificate without a CKA_ID is now paired with:

- the key that carries its public key (the same lookup `AddAsync` uses
to link a certificate it writes: RSA modulus and exponent, or EC point
and curve), else
- the key that the configured `ObjectLabel` / `ObjectId` selects, but
only after that key signs a random challenge that the certificate's
public key verifies (a shared label does not establish the pairing),
else
- no key.

Before this change, a certificate without a CKA_ID on a token without
object filters got the first key of its type. A certificate with a
CKA_ID is handled as before. No public API changes. The package README
describes the pairing.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 5f6faa60d7 Server: fewer allocations per single-value Read (isolation reservations, scope reuse, routing capture without restore) (#4856)
Removes per-request allocations on the server's single-value Read path
with small, internal changes. No wire-format change, no public API
change, no change of the execution model (the receive loop is
untouched). Exactly-once semantics of the isolation leases,
cancellation, timeouts, diagnostics and auditing are unchanged.

## Effect

Allocated bytes per single-value Read (perf harness, `native-read`, 10
clients x 100 in flight, `AsyncCustomNodeManager`, Server GC;
deterministic):

| | 1 core | 4 cores |
|---|---|---|
| master 4ae2395f3 | 2929 | 2753 |
| this PR | 2320 (-21 %) | 2326 (-16 %) |

Per commit (4 cores): T1 -120 B, T2 -64 B, receive chunk list ~-70 B,
closure -17 B, pool floor -74 B, routing capture ~-100 B.

CPU per request is unchanged within the noise of a shared machine
(paired, alternating A/B rounds, 4 pinned cores: async node manager -1.8
%, encrypted -4.7 %, sync node manager +2.5 %, all ranges overlapping).
Read with 1/100 nodes and 20/200 sessions, Browse and subscriptions show
no regression and 1-14 % fewer bytes.

## Changes (one commit each)

1. **Isolation stages held as reservations.** `FairRequestQueue`
acquired three to four `Lease` objects per request. The default provider
now also admits by value through an internal
`IResourceIsolationReservations`; the queue entry keeps one compact hold
per stage and releases it exactly once with an atomic exchange. Other
providers keep using leases. `TryAcquire` and its lease are unchanged.
2. **Validation scopes reused.** Disposed `RequestValidationScope`s are
kept in per-processor spare slots and reused under a new id. Ids stay
unique, so a drain that read a scope before its reuse can only wait for
the newer validation, never miss one.
3. **Receive chunk list reused.** The server channel keeps the
`BufferCollection` of a dispatched request (released after the handler;
the decoder copied the request) to assemble the next single-chunk
message.
4. **No closure per service call.** The rejection counter lambda in the
catch block of 28 service methods made the async method allocate its
closure on every call. It moved into `CountRejectedServiceRequest`.
5. **Pool floor.** The request continuation and response source pools
retained 4 objects per processor; with many requests in flight, bursts
of completions overflowed them. They now retain at least 256.
6. **Routing snapshot captured without a restore.** #4759 captures the
routing snapshot per service call in an `AsyncLocal` through a
`ReadScope`; the capture, the scope object and the restore on dispose
cost about 190 B per Read. The dispatcher's service methods capture
until they return, and an async method's execution-context changes end
when it returns, so these sites use the new internal
`CaptureUntilReturn` (no scope, no restore, no write when already
captured). Captures that end inside a method keep the scope. The capture
itself (~90 B) remains.

Not included: pooling `FairRequestQueue.Entry` (an entry is also the
node of the lock-free FIFO and stays referenced after dispatch) and
caching a `NodeHandle` per node (the shared, publicly mutable handle
would reach overridable node manager code).

## Tests

- New: queue tests run against a reservation-capable provider and assert
every stage is released exactly once (a deliberately broken release
fails 6 of them); validation scope reuse with drains; routing capture
ends when the async method returns (sync and async completion).
- Locally on net10.0: Opc.Ua.Core.Tests, Opc.Ua.Server.Tests,
Opc.Ua.Client.Tests, Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests and Opc.Ua.Stress.Tests
(Contract, Integration) pass; net48 test projects compile.

0edc3b55a6 Server: allocate data change notifications instead of pooling them (#4830)
Stacked on #4829 (publish timer sweep): this PR targets its branch, so
the diff shows only this change. Retarget to master once #4829 merges.

MonitoredItem.Publish rented every MonitoredItemNotification from the
process-wide activator pool (BoundedObjectPool, bound 2 x monitored
items,
capped at 65536) and NotificationMessageLease returned it once the
message was sent and acknowledged. Under load the pool costs more CPU
than it saves:

- A notification lives until its message is acknowledged, so a whole
  publishing cycle of notifications is in flight at once. With the
  publish sweep finishing within a few ms (fixed cadence + parallel
  remainder) the in-flight burst is far above the cap and most Gets miss
  anyway (MonitoredItemNotification 6 % -> 45 % of server allocation).
- Raising the cap to 1M made it worse: 5.5 vs 4.4 us per notification,
  lock contention 16k vs 5k per window, delivery 93 vs 95.5 %.
- Every hit touches an instance that went cold in the ~100-200 ms since
  it was returned, Reuse touches it once more, and the shared queue and
  counters bounce between cores. A fresh allocation comes from the
  thread's hot allocation context.

The notifications are now allocated in MonitoredItem.Publish and left to
the GC; RecyclePayload no longer reuses them, and the pool bound is only
raised for EventFieldList. NotificationMessage, DataChangeNotification,
EventNotificationList and EventFieldList pooling and the rented
MonitoredItemNotification[] arrays are unchanged.

Paired A/B on top of the publish sweep fix (perf/ServerLoadHarness,
encrypted, alternating rounds, medians; runs repeated while processes
outside the harness used more than 1.5 cores):

| shape (sessions x subs x items) | GC | n | us/notif | server cores |
delivered | GC pause / 15 s | p99 write->notify |

|---------------------------------|--------|---|------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|-------------------|
| 50 x 15 x 600, pub 100, w 150 | server | 2 | 4.4 -> 3.1 | 11.9 -> 8.2

100 -> 100 % | 15 -> 88 ms | 137 -> 141 ms |
| 1000 x 1 x 1, pub 1000, w 500 | server | 7 | 158 -> 190 | 0.16 -> 0.19
| 50 -> 50 % | 15 -> 28 ms | 480 -> 490 ms |
| 2 x 1 x 100, pub 100, w 150 | server | 3 | 59 -> 47 | 0.08 -> 0.06 |
100 -> 100 % | 7 -> 6 ms | 103 -> 114 ms |
| 50 x 15 x 600, pub 100, w 150 | ws | 3*| 4.5 -> 3.5 | 10.5 -> 7.0 | 86
-> 96 % | 5.1 -> 8.6 s | 447 -> 373 ms |
| 10 x 15 x 600, pub 100, w 150 | ws | 5*| 5.4 -> 3.6 | 3.3 -> 1.9 | 100
-> 100 % | 0.45 -> 1.1 s | 144 -> 155 ms |

(*) workstation GC rows combine the A/B with the switch-build runs of
the same comparison. Excluded: six runs (both builds) in which the
50-session shape collapsed with the server mostly idle (up to 16.7 s GC
pause in the 15 s window, 0-4 % delivered), the GC suspension stall
pattern seen before on this machine under external CPU saturation. The
1000-session cores differ by 0.03 with a same-build spread of
0.13-0.25 at ~1000 notifications/s.

Trade-off: CPU per notification drops 25-40 % wherever notifications
flow, but short-lived notifications now die young: gen0 GCs per 15 s
2 -> 24 (server GC, 10 sessions), gen1 35 -> 154 (workstation GC,
10 sessions), so GC pause time rises about 2x, and p99 latency rises
with workstation GC at moderate load (+8 % at 10 sessions). When
pooling could pay off again is tracked in #4819.

4ae2395f37 perf: client GC measurement, V2 client by default, container-like client constraints (#4844)
Extends the out-of-process load harness (`perf/`, not part of the
product build) so it can measure client-side GC, run the V2 client by
default, and emulate a container-sized client. No product code changes.

## Client GC measurement
- New `client-gc:` result line from an in-process GC event listener
(`GcListener.cs`, runtime GC keyword at informational level): GC mode,
collections by condemned generation and trigger, pause and suspension
p50/p99/max, bytes surviving gen0/gen1, pinned objects, gen2/LOH size,
peak heap after a collection, committed bytes, heap limit, DATAS heap
count and gen0 budget. `--gc-events 0` turns it off.
- The latency recorder is now a fixed log-linear histogram (~1.6 %
resolution). The old `ConcurrentBag<long>` kept ~25 MB of samples alive
in the measured client's gen2 (client heap 29–31 MB vs 4 MB now).
- **Fix:** GC, thread-pool and processor-count settings set for the
harness (`DOTNET_GC*`, `COMPlus_GC*`, `DOTNET_ThreadPool_*`,
`DOTNET_PROCESSOR_COUNT`) no longer leak into the server child. Before,
`DOTNET_gcServer=1` switched the server too, although the README said it
switched the client. `SERVER_`-prefixed variables still configure the
server.
- TraceAnalyzer `gc` decodes the condemn reasons and breaks each
collection into phases (marking by root type with the bytes marked,
plan/relocate/compact).

## V2 client by default
- `--client` defaults to `managed` (`ManagedSession` + V2 subscription
engine). The `events` and `counters` workloads gained V2 paths;
`--pool-notifications 1` enables `WithPoolNotifications`.
`client-scenarios.txt` lists V2 scenarios. `--client classic` and
`shared` still work.

## Container-like client
- `--client-cores N`: the harness runs itself again with
`DOTNET_PROCESSOR_COUNT=N` on the last N processors and pins the server
to the others.
- `--client-memory MB`: the client's GC heap hard limit becomes 75 % of
MB, the limit .NET derives from a container memory limit (native memory
is not capped).

## What it found
The report is published separately. Highlights:
- Request path: a gen0 pause costs ~1 ms of fixed work (stack and card
scanning, compaction), so pause time follows collection count. Read-1
allocates ~2 KB/request on the client, and its p99 is the GC pause (a 64
MB gen0 halves it).
- V2 subscriptions and events never reach gen2 (classic `Subscription`
with its message cache: 22 % of wall time paused for events).
- Containers: each V2 monitored item costs 2.8–3.8 KB, mostly a per-item
`ConcurrentDictionary` in `OptionsMonitor<T>` (one lock per processor)
and a per-item `ConcurrentQueue`. 100k items do not fit in a 256 MB
container. A 1-processor client stalls ~1 s unless the thread-pool
minimum is raised.

## Testing
- Harness builds in Release (`CustomTestTarget=net10.0`). I ran every
changed scenario: read/write/browse/sub/events/counters on managed
sessions, constrained runs with 1, 2 and 4 cores and 256 MB to 1 GB, and
`TraceAnalyzer gc/alloc` on recorded traces.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 ad8c6ce59f TCP server: close the transport only after the terminal error message was sent (#4850)
### Why
The weekly CTT regression run reported **Security Certificate Validation
`029.js`** as a regression: the OpenSecureChannel with a CA certificate
got `BadConnectionClosed` instead of `BadCertificateUseNotAllowed`. It
passed in all 10 earlier full runs.

When a channel faults (here a rejected client certificate during
OpenSecureChannel), `ForceChannelFaultCore` sends the ERR message with
`WriteMessageInline` and then closes the transport on the same stack.
The send is not awaited. If it cannot complete synchronously, `Close()`
cancels it or disposes the socket underneath it:
- it may wait for the transport's send lock, for example while the
queued writer is still finishing the Acknowledge;
- or the socket send may still be pending.

The client then sees the connection drop without the reason. OPC 10000-6
§7.1.5 requires the server to send the Error message and then close the
connection.

### Change
- `UaSCBinaryChannel.WriteMessageInline` keeps the terminal send task.
- The new `UaSCBinaryChannel.CloseTransport` closes the transport at
once when no terminal send is pending. Otherwise it closes once that
send completes, after 2 s at the latest (`TimeProvider`).
- `TcpListenerChannel.ChannelFaulted`, `ChannelClosed` and
`UaSCBinaryChannel.Dispose` use it in place of `Transport.Close()`.
- Nothing else changes: the channel still faults and is removed from the
listener synchronously; only the socket close waits.

### Tests
- New in `TcpServerChannelDeterministicTests`, both of which fail
without the fix:
- `FaultClosesTheTransportOnlyAfterTheErrorMessageWasSentAsync`: the ERR
send is held, the transport must stay open, then close after the send.
- `FaultClosesTheTransportWhenTheErrorMessageNeverCompletesAsync`: the
ERR send never completes, so the transport closes after 2 s
(FakeTimeProvider).
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` Stack.Transport/Stack.Tcp (net10.0): 858/858.
- Opc.Ua.Core builds for net48.

_Includes the master build fix of #4852 (cherry-picked so CI can run);
it drops out on rebase once #4852 is merged._

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 6a156dfa2e Client: fewer allocations per request (shared timeout timer, pooled state machines, fewer buffer collections) (#4849)
# Description

Reduces client allocations per request. A client GC investigation found
that a gen0 pause on the request path costs about 1.1 ms however much
survives. That makes the number of collections, and therefore the bytes
allocated per request, what matters. At the default gen0 budget, each KB
removed from a request removes about one collection in eight.

Read-1 client bytes/request (`perf/ServerLoadHarness run --scenario read
--nodes 1 --sessions 20`, builds run alternately, 3–4 rounds each,
medians). Bytes/op repeated within ±5 B between rounds, while req/s
varied 3x from other load on the machine, so throughput is not reported.

| Commit | Change | classic | managed |
|---|---|---|---|
| master 484596c2a | | 1983 | – |
| 77e2ca0b5 | One timeout timer per client channel instead of an
`ITimer` per request | 1871 | – |
| 730cec198 | `BinaryDecoder` returns `Array.Empty<T>()` for zero-length
arrays (empty StringTable/DiagnosticInfos in every response header); -1

| 2135f7d7f | `SealSymmetricMessage` secures the encoded chunks in place
instead of copying them into a second `BufferCollection` | 1750 | 1839 |
| 70655ffa0 | A response that is a single final chunk is decoded from
the chunk directly, without saving it into a `BufferCollection` | 1675 |
1767 |

`CompletionWaiter`) and locks itself (no `Lock`) | 1599 | 1686 |
| 4528d0467 | ManagedSession releases its reader lock from a pooled
state machine (.NET 6+) instead of a second task continuation | 1598 |
1598 |
| 41859b64a | `UaSCUaBinaryClientChannel.SendRequestAsync` uses
`PoolingAsyncValueTaskMethodBuilder` (.NET 6+), like `TcpByteTransport`
| 1426 | 1425 |
| b3d09802d | Review: no request admitted after Dispose;
`ChannelAsyncOperation` keeps its private `Lock` again (DeveloperGuide:
never expose locks) | 1472 | – |
| 71ec7b396 | Review: `return [];` for empty arrays | – | – |

In total: **classic 1983 → 1472 B (−26 %)**. The managed client gets the
same ~49 B back from the restored `Lock`.

### What reviewers should look at
- **Timeouts:** each operation records a deadline. The channel keeps one
timer set for the earliest pending deadline. When it fires it times out
every request whose deadline has passed and re-arms for the next. The
operation is added to `m_requests` before it schedules its deadline, and
the scan resets the scheduled time under the same lock, so no new
request is missed. With equal timeouts a new request is never the
earliest, so it only reads the scheduled time. The public
`ChannelAsyncOperation` constructors still create a timer of their own.
- **Dispose of the client channel** now fails the pending requests with
BadSecureChannelClosed. Without a timer per request they would otherwise
never complete. Requests are registered under the timeout lock and
rejected once the channel is disposed, so a request racing Dispose is
either rejected or drained.
- **Pooled value tasks:** the value tasks from `SendRequestAsync` and
from ManagedSession service calls must now be awaited once. Awaiting one
twice used to happen to work because they were backed by a task.
`WaitForCompletionAsync` was already documented as one wait at a time.
- **Not done here** (needs generator or codec API work): reusing the
BinaryEncoder/BinaryDecoder objects (~200 B), pooling the generated
`SessionClient.ReadAsync` box (~195 B), and the second `ResponseHeader`
per response.

`Test_002.js`, `Test_003.js` and `cleanup.js` failed with

- **How often.** With a 250 ms publish interval, the stall still hits
about 1 in 5 A&C runs on the GitHub-hosted runner, sometimes inside a
unit.
- **The CTT CI workaround.** Each unit checks at its start that the
publish thread is still alive. A part whose first attempt has
regressions together with the CTT's own stall warning runs once more,
and the second attempt is the result.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 ac24123dde Await NUnit 5 Assert.ThrowsAsync/CatchAsync in the #4759 tests; fixes the master build (#4852)
master has failed to build since #4840 (NUnit 5) and #4759 (batch
lifecycle and continuation tests) both landed:
- #4759 calls `Assert.ThrowsAsync`/`Assert.CatchAsync` without `await`,
which was the blocking NUnit 4 form.
- Under NUnit 5 those methods return a `Task`.

This PR adds the missing `await`, the same form as the rest of the
migrated tests:
- `NodeManagerLifecycleTests.Batch.cs`: six calls (`CS4014`,
`NUnit2059`).
- `ProductionDatasetClientTests.cs`: one call (`CS4014`).
-
`HistoryReadContinuationDispatchTests.FaultedRequestKeepsAssignedClientSuppliedContinuationPoint`:
this test is synchronous, so it compiled. It discarded the returned
`Task`, which means the assertion was never checked. It is now `async
Task ...Async` and awaits it.

No assertion changes.

Tests (net10.0):
- `UA.slnx` builds.
- `NodeManagerLifecycleTests`: 317/317.
- `ProductionDatasetClientTests`: 5/5.
- `HistoryReadContinuationDispatchTests`: 6/6.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 2997cb8a2c SessionBindingTests: let readers confirm the live session before racing transfers (#4848)
## Problem

`BindingLivenessRacingTransfersAndCloseNeverConfirmsReplacedBindingAsync`
failed on the net48 CI runner (test-windows-net48 11/16, run
39250649914, on docs-only PR #4841) with `confirmed = 0`. The safety
check (`errors`) was empty. The reader tasks were not scheduled until
all 1000 transfers and the close had finished, so the liveness check
never saw a live binding.

## Fix (test only)
Before the first transfer, the test now waits until every reader has
confirmed the live binding at least once (bounded: 30 s, then a clear
`Assert.Fail`). The race still covers transfers and close, but the
positive assertion no longer depends on thread-pool scheduling. The
safety assertion is unchanged.

## Verification
I ran the test with a temporary `[Repeat(100)]` in Release builds:
- net10.0 and net48: 100 repeats each, no load
- net10.0 and net48: 3 × 100 repeats each with 2 busy loops per core

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 a6cc7c4bc9 Server: evaluate an event once per distinct event filter (#4845)
## Summary

The event consumer of a notifier (`MonitoredNode2`) evaluated the where
clause and read every select clause of a reported event once **per event
monitored item**, although items with an equal filter and equal session
locales get the same result. With 750 event items on the Server object
this single consumer thread capped event throughput (follow-up to #4837,
item E1 of the event load investigation).

Now each reported event is evaluated **once per distinct filter**:

- The consumer groups the items of an event by a key of their
`EventFilter` (value equality, generated structural
`IsEqual`/`GetHashCode`) and their session's `PreferredLocales`. The key
is cached per item and recreated when the item's filter or the session's
locales change (ModifyMonitoredItems, locale change). A key remembers
the equal key it was matched against, so after the first event a group
compares by reference.
- A per-event `SharedEventEvaluation` holds the where-clause result and
the field values. The first item that needs them evaluates them.
Evaluation is thread-safe, so a later partitioned fan-out (E2) can queue
a group's items on several threads without evaluating again.
- **Per item, unchanged:** duplicate check, permission and
audit-visibility checks, filtered-retain bookkeeping, queue size and
overflow events, and an own `EventFieldList` with its `ClientHandle` and
`Handle`. A trailing filtered-retain event reads its own fields through
`FilteredRetainTarget`. An item whose filter or locales changed after
the event was grouped evaluates the event itself.
- **No public API or wire change, no reflection.** The evaluation is
offered to the virtual `MonitoredItem.QueueEvent` for the duration of
the call (a `[ThreadStatic]` scope keyed by item and target). Derived
items that override `QueueEvent` therefore still see every event, and
they use the shared result only when they pass the same event on to the
base class. Detecting overrides by reflection was rejected because it is
not NativeAOT-safe.
- The shared `Variant[]` is never written after it is created.
`EventQueueHandler.Publish` only touches the `StatusResult` objects
inside it, which were already shared through the event node,
`TransformQueuedEvents` builds new lists, and pooled `EventFieldList`
reuse only reassigns its fields.

## Measurements

`perf/ServerLoadHarness`, `events` with 50 sessions × 15 subscriptions
(750 items on the Server object), publish interval 100 ms, encrypt,
server GC, `TC_QuickJitForLoops=0`/`OSR=0`. Paired A/B in 2 alternating
rounds; each run was repeated if processes outside the harness used more
than 1.5 cores. The base was #4837's tip (27b6ad0d0), whose event code
is what master has now.

| | base | this PR | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| rate 0: generated events/s | 785 (794 / 775) | 1559 (1660 / 1458) |
**+99 %** |
| rate 0: p50 / p99 event→notify ms | 66 / 166 | 64 / 159 | = |
| rate 0: KB allocated per generated event | 272 | 114 | −58 % |
| rate 0: ms server CPU per generated event | 3.08 | 2.01 | −35 % |

| rate 500: p50 / p99 event→notify ms | 74.7 / 144.7 | 71.6 / 137.8 | =
(bound by the publish interval) |

CPU traces (`threads`): before, one consumer thread was 99.5 % busy,
mostly in the field read chain (`GetAttributeValue` 23.5 %,
`ReadValueAttribute` 12.5 %) plus `QueueEvent` (19 %). After, the
consumer still uses about one core, now ~87 % in per-item queueing
(`EventMonitoredItemQueue` list copies). The per-item `Variant[]`, which
was 45 % of the sampled allocated bytes, is gone. **The post-E1
single-thread cap is ~1,500–1,660 generated events/s**, the reference
for a partitioned parallel fan-out (E2).

## Tests

- New `SharedEventEvaluationTests`:
- Mixed select clauses, where clauses and session locales on one
notifier (Server node with multiple consumers and a regular node) each
get exactly what per-item evaluation gives.
- A counting `IFilterTarget` proves that 20 items with an equal filter
read the event once.
  - A derived item that overrides `QueueEvent` sees every event.
  - A session locale change takes effect with the next event.
-
`FilterRetainTests.FilteredRetainStaysPerItemWhenItemsShareTheEvaluationAsync`:
only the item that saw the condition in scope gets the trailing `Retain
= false` event.
- Test runs:
- `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` (net10.0): all pass except
`BindingLivenessRacingTransfersAndCloseNeverConfirmsReplacedBindingAsync`,
a session-binding race that is unrelated and passes 3/3 when run alone.
After rebasing onto master, the event, condition, alarm, filter and
monitored-item subset ran 1619 of 1620 passing;
`WriteAsync_PublishesValueToMonitoredItemQueueAsync` (a data-change
write test) failed once in the parallel run and passed 9/9 alone.
- Explicit `ServerEventSubscribeLoadTestAsync`: passes over opc.tcp. The
https/opc.https fixtures fail with HTTP 503 on master too.
- Builds clean for net48.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 d7c2ed6caf Client: smaller per-monitored-item footprint (listener array, lazy pending-change queue, shared logger) (#4847)
# Description

Every V2 monitored item (`Opc.Ua.Client.Subscriptions`) cost about 3.8
KB of managed heap on a 24-core machine (2.8 KB on 1 core). Most of that
was per-item infrastructure whose size grows with the processor count.
With 100k items, a client limited to 256 MB (container-like) ran out of
memory during subscription setup.

- **`OptionsMonitor<T>`**: `OnChange` listeners are kept in a
`Listener[]` that is replaced as a whole on each add or remove
(`Interlocked.CompareExchange`), instead of a `ConcurrentDictionary`.
That dictionary's default concurrency level allocated one lock object
per processor for every monitored item (~1.4 KB on 24 cores).
Notification, dispose and double-dispose behave as before; listeners are
now called in registration order.
- **`MonitoredItem`**: pending changes are kept in a `Queue<Change>`
guarded by the existing `m_pendingChangesLock` instead of a per-item
`ConcurrentQueue<Change>` (~810 B, 32-slot segment). The queue is
created on enqueue and dropped once the last change completes, so idle
items hold none. `HasPendingChanges`, `TryGetPendingChange` and
`CompleteChange` now take the lock. `TryRequeue` used to enqueue without
the lock and now enqueues under it.
- **`DefaultSubscription`** shares one `ILogger` across its monitored
items instead of creating one per item.

## Measurements

These numbers come from the `ServerLoadHarness` client GC line (harness
changes are in #4844): `run --scenario sub --sessions 25 --nodes 100
--pub 500 --write-interval 100 --duration 10 --warmup 6`. All figures
are client gen2 MB.

| Config | Items | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24 cores, `--subs 20` | 50k | 190.0 / 188.7 | 62.9 / 64.0 |
| `--client-cores 2 --client-memory 256`, `--subs 20` | 50k | 142.6 |
54.6 |
| `--client-cores 2 --client-memory 256`, `--subs 40` | 100k | out of
memory | 122.6 (limit 192) |

That saves about 2.6 KB per item on 24 cores and about 1.8 KB on 2
cores. The whole client heap is now about 1.3–1.4 KB per item.

Marc Schier 9bfc780e14 Update NuGet dependencies and migrate tests to NUnit 5 (#4840)
# Description

Update 55 NuGet dependencies to the latest stable releases available on
2026-10-19, preserving documented compatibility pins and
framework-specific version bands. Existing OpenUSD prereleases remain
unchanged because no newer releases are available.

Migrate existing tests to NUnit 5: await asynchronous assertions,
propagate async through helpers, handle nullable predicates, and replace
obsolete `Order` attributes with sequencing dependencies. Sequencing
dependencies use `AllowFailure = true`; filtering a dependent test also
runs prerequisites. Adjust fixture-level parallelism where NUnit
dependency scheduling requires it.

Keep Roslyn API/runtime pins intact; select newer Immutable/Metadata
runtime packages only for test and profiling hosts requiring them.
Update the approved SDK pin to 10.0.402 across local, CI, and container
builds. Document NUnit 5 conventions.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 a07f4eb1ac Aggregates: Average, Count, Delta, StdDev, Variance use Good values only (Mantis 11495) (#4846)
### Why
The OPC Foundation answered [Mantis
11495](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11495) on 2026-10-12
(~0025874), as it had in
[7975](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=7975) before:
- The general rules of Part 13 §4.2.1.2 apply only where an aggregate
definition says nothing else.
- Count counts only Good values; Bad and Uncertain values are never
counted, but they affect the status.

Average (§5.4.3.3), Delta (§5.4.3.27) and StandardDeviation*/Variance*
(§5.4.3.37–§5.4.3.40) also speak of Good values. With
TreatUncertainAsBad = False the server treated Uncertain values as Good
for these aggregates. That is CTT item U5 in `plans/ctt-issues.md`:
about 34 test cases in Aggregate `003-02/03`, `004-02/03`.

### Change
- `AggregateCalculator.IsGoodValue`: Good only, whatever
TreatUncertainAsBad is. It is used by Average, Count, Delta and
StandardDeviation/Variance.
- `GetValueBasedStatusCode(..., goodValuesOnly: true)` is used by
Average and Count: an Uncertain value counts as non-Good, so 2 Good + 1
Uncertain gives `UncertainDataSubNormal`, not Good.
- Unchanged:
- NumberOfTransitions: its definition compares non-Bad values; U6 is
still open.
- Time-based aggregates, bounds, and Minimum2/Maximum2 still follow
TreatUncertainAsBad as before.

### Tests
- Updated to the answer: `AverageExcludesUncertainValues` and
`DirectAndLiveCountExcludesUncertainValuesAsync`.
- New: `DirectAndLiveGoodValueAggregatesExcludeUncertainValuesAsync`,
which covers Delta, VarianceSample and StandardDeviationPopulation,
direct and live, with both TreatUncertainAsBad values.
- `ProcessedReadUsesAdvertisedNodeAggregateDefaultsAsync` now checks the
advertised TreatUncertainAsBad default through TimeAverage, because
Count no longer depends on it.
- Local runs (net10.0):
  - Opc.Ua.Server.Tests aggregates: 496/496;
  - Opc.Ua.History.Tests: 536 passed, 28 skipped;
  - client Historian tests: 118/118.
- CTT p06 (Aggregates) against this build, with the patched scripts no
longer correcting U5: 1264 pass, 0 errors, 0 warnings.

a10f9e252d Generic runtime continuation, batch lifecycle and readiness (#4759)
# Description

This pull request extracts and integrates generic server runtime and
continuation-management capabilities for OPC UA NodeManagers.

- **NodeManager lifecycle and routing:** add batch registration and
reload, staged publication and readiness notifications, captured routing
snapshots and reservations, and safe retirement. Wire the lifecycle
through host interfaces, async/sync adapters, `MasterNodeManager`, and
`StandardServer` startup and shutdown.
- **Browse and History continuations:** retain continuation ownership
and manager dependencies across requests and reloads; add atomic claims,
session caching, and cleanup when requests fail or generations retire.
Add historian resume state, tokens, dependency capabilities, and shared
continuation-store support.
- **MonitoredItem lifecycle:** support detaching and reattaching items
across node-manager generations, including event subscriptions shared
across root notifiers and correct defaults for detached-item
modification.
- **Runtime NodeSet references:** track reference additions and
deletions through supported API paths and preserve the tracked
references during reload.
- **Published views and materialization:** add immutable `TypeTable` and
`EncodeableFactory` snapshots with publication-owner lifetime
management, and provide a live node-materialization query for the
existing WoT projection-view consumer.
- **CI trace support and documentation:** add scripts and tests for
staging NUnit internal traces, and document NodeManager lifecycle,
session continuation ownership, and historical-access behavior.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 e8c5d800a6 plans/ctt-issues.md: refresh Mantis states and OPC answers, condense (#4843)
Brings `plans/ctt-issues.md` up to date with Mantis as of 2026-10-19 and
makes it shorter (427 → 347 lines). Documentation only.

### Mantis state
- Resolved issues are marked **(fixed)**: 11097, 11106, 11125/11248,
11144/11269, 11257, 11259, 11262, 11263, 11268, 11347.
- Abstracts were corrected after the Mantis discussions: C10, C11, C13,
C23, C24, C29, C46, 15, 18 and 19.
- New rows:
- C15b ([11476](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11476),
View validator);
- [11475](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11475) on item
18;
- duplicates [11466](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11466)
(C1) and [11509](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11509)
(item 14).
- **C64:** Int32 bound truncation, now filed by another reporter as
[11494](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11494) (spec clone
[11499](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11499)). It
replaces the unfiled "Int32 conversion" text.
- **C21:** the OPC Foundation decided on
[11411](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11411) to test
negated Like lists only at the start or end of a string until Part 4 is
clarified.

### OPC Foundation answers
- **U4** is rewritten around the common rule from Paul Hunkar's answers:
*the aggregate definition wins over TreatUncertainAsBad*
([11462](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11462),
[11425](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11425),
[11426](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11426),
[11427](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11427),
[11495](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11495)).
- It records that 11427 ~0025875 and 11426 ~0025852 conflict for an
Uncertain value below the minimum.
  - The 11462 follow-up (~0025849) is still unanswered.
- **U5** is answered by 11495 ~0025874 (and the earlier 7975): Count
(and by the same rule Average, Delta, StandardDeviation* and Variance*)
excludes Uncertain values also with TreatUncertainAsBad = False. **The
server currently includes them, so a server change is needed.**
- **U6** (new, open): NumberOfTransitions with TreatUncertainAsBad =
True.
- A new **Server follow-ups** section lists what the answers require of
the server: U5, a possible C48/C49 change, C38 diagnostics visibility
(11445 ~0025750), and C64 depending on 11499.

### Not filed
- Added C58–C63: CTT script defects fixed in the patched CTT scripts,
including the C60 publish-thread stall. Also added C65 (the GetBadData
forward read, related to
[11505](https://mantis.opcfoundation.org/view.php?id=11505)) and C66
(non-numeric aggregates; not filed because the CTT's values were not
recorded).
- Removed the inline draft Mantis texts for C54/C55, and condensed the
prose and the configuration notes.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 42bfb709c5 Channel send order: tests for concurrent producers, reconnects and the writer stop (#4838)
Test-only. Adds tests for the guarantees of the channel writer
introduced in #4782 ("seal in the writer"). The existing tests cover
them for a few producers or one message at a time. No product code
changes.

They come from roadmap item R6 of the o6 benchmark gap analysis, a
lock-free queue for the producers' responses. That queue no longer pays
off once #4805 and #4833 are in: at steady state the send path costs
about 0.5 µs per request, and removing its lock left CPU per request
unchanged. So the queue is not proposed, but its tests check the current
writer and pass on master unchanged.

## Tests

All in `UaSCBinaryChannelSendOrderTests`:

-
**`ManyProducersWithNumberedMessagesAndTokenChangesKeepTheWireOrderAsync`**
(repeated 3×):
- at least 32 producer threads (twice the processor count) send
responses of random size, some split into chunks;
- meanwhile, one producer queues messages numbered under `SendOrder`, as
OpenSecureChannel responses and faults are, and another activates 15 new
tokens.
- Checked: consecutive sequence numbers on the wire, contiguous chunks,
every response exactly once, and no token used after its successor.
- **`ResponsesQueuedWhileTheWriterStopsAreSentAsync`**: one producer
queues each response the moment the previous one reaches the wire, which
is when the writer finds its queue empty and stops. It runs 20,000
times, and every response must be sent.
- The producer waits with `Task.Yield`, not by spinning. The writer is
queued to the producer's local work queue, and a spinning producer would
hold it.
- It uses one producer on purpose: with several, the next producer's
response restarts the writer and carries a stranded one along, which
hides the bug.
- **`AReconnectWhileProducersQueueSendsTheOpenResponseFirstAsync`**
(repeated 3×): eight producers keep sending while the transport is
replaced. The new transport is attached and the OpenSecureChannel
response numbered under one hold of `SendOrder`, as a reconnect does.
Checked:
- the OpenSecureChannel response is the first message on the new
transport, and the transport numbers on without a gap;
  - nothing is sent on both transports;
  - every response queued after the reconnect arrives;
  - every buffer is returned.
- **`ASealFailureInTheMiddleOfABatchStopsTheNumberingAsync`**: six
responses wait in one batch behind a held send. The first fails to
secure after it took its sequence numbers. Checked:
- no message after it is sent, including one queued after the encryption
works again;
  - the channel reports one transport error;
  - every buffer is returned.

Test helpers:
- `OrderServerChannel`: `ReconnectForTest`, `ActivateTokenForTest`;
- `RecordingTransport`: `SendCount`, `SentChunks()`;
- the test class: `AssertContiguous`, for a transport that only carries
part of the messages.

## Mutations

Each test was run against a deliberately broken channel. Each break was
temporary and is not in this PR:

| Change to `UaSCUaBinaryChannel` | Fails |
|---|---|
| A producer reads the writer's running flag before it takes the write
queue lock, so a writer that stops in between strands the response |
`ResponsesQueuedWhileTheWriterStopsAreSentAsync` (3 of 3 runs) |
| The writer takes unsealed responses ahead of producer-numbered writes
|
`ManyProducersWithNumberedMessagesAndTokenChangesKeepTheWireOrderAsync`,
`RandomReceiveSendAndRenewalInterleavingKeepsTheWireOrderAsync` |
| The writer numbers again after a seal failure left a gap |
`ASealFailureInTheMiddleOfABatchStopsTheNumberingAsync`,
`ASealFailureAfterNumberingStopsTheChannelAsync` |

## Testing
- Local, net10.0: `UaSCBinaryChannelSendOrderTests` and
`TcpReconnectKeyAgreementTests`, 61 passed.
- net48 builds without warnings. `dotnet format whitespace
--verify-no-changes` passes on the changed file.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 33d6d29e12 Server: wake fair queue workers through a LIFO signal, let a looking worker take new requests (#4833)
Request queue workers of the `FairRequestQueue` waited on a bounded
`Channel<bool>(1)` for the coalesced wake token. With many cores, its
monitor became the server's largest lock contention point, and each wake
cost a channel operation, an allocated wait and a thread-pool hand-off.
This PR replaces that signal and lets a worker that just finished a
request keep looking for the next one for a few microseconds before it
parks.

The concept is unchanged:
- requests are admitted into the fair queue;
- `MinRequestThreadCount`/`MaxRequestThreadCount` workers dequeue and
run them;
- the receive loop is not touched;
- weighted fairness, the per-owner and global limits, leases, admission
and `BadServerTooBusy`, cancellation with an exactly-once lease release,
stop and drain, and parked publish requests behave as before.

There are no wire, public API or configuration changes.

## Results

Paired A/B against `master` fc0687a2d (with #4787, #4788, #4805, #4812),
5 rounds per scenario. The builds alternate per round, starting side
swapped every round. A run during which another test host or load
harness ran was discarded and repeated. Medians, ranges in brackets.

The o6read rows use the o6-automation benchmark's native open62541
client workers against the server configured like the o6 2.0.1 worker:
- `AsyncCustomNodeManager`;
- Server GC;
- queue sized clients × in flight + 3;
- 200 workers unless noted.

They run at steady state: 100,000 warm-up calls per client, then 300,000
measured. See the note on the default run below.

- `read`, 200 sessions: p99 4.70 → 4.55 ms;
- `read`, shared client: p99 0.98 → 0.93 ms.

Allocated bytes per request are unchanged (±1 %).

**What the numbers show.**
- With many cores the wake path was the cost. The configured worker
count no longer matters: 16, 64 and 200 workers cost the same.
- The largest gain is with 8 logical processors. There every hand-off to
a parked worker took one of few cores away from the receive loops.
- At 4 logical processors this PR is neutral. The first version spun
there too and cost about 13 % req/s (measured by the o6 gap analysis:
8.8 → 10.0 µs per request); readers now spin only with at least 8
processors.

¹ Rows marked ¹ are from a later paired run (5 rounds, same method) of
the current head against `master` fc0687a2d. The other rows are from the
head before the last commit, which changed nothing above 8 processors.

**Traces** (o6read 10×100 at 24 cores, same window, one run per side):
- Contention events: 4,313 → 786. On master, 56 % were the wake
channel's monitor (`DequeueAsync` → `BoundedChannel` lock, plus
`Pulse`). After this PR the fair queue accounts for about 1.5 %.
- On-CPU samples: `Monitor.Enter_Slowpath` 2.9 % → 0.2 %, and the
`DequeueAsync` state machine 2.7 % → 0.3 %.
- `TrySpinDequeue` is 9 % of the samples. That is the time workers spend
looking instead of being woken through the pool.

**The default o6read run measures JIT warm-up.** The o6 benchmark's
default parameters (10,000 warm-up and 100,000 measured calls per
client, about 3.5 s) put tier-0 code into the measurement at 24 cores.
The same server runs at about 60 µs per request in the short run and
about 28 µs at steady state; with `DOTNET_TieredCompilation=0` the short
run gives about 30 µs. The steady-state rows above are the ones that
compare the queue. The "24-core cost doubles" observation in the o6 gap
report comes mostly from this warm-up, not from the hand-off.

## Changes

### `WorkerWakeSignal` (new, internal)
The coalesced wake token, without a channel:
- At most one token is outstanding. `TryIssue` creates it with one
compare-and-swap. It hands the token to the most recently parked worker
(a LIFO stack under a small lock), or leaves it for the next worker,
which then does not park.
- While a woken worker has not run yet, further issues are coalesced, as
before. The token is consumed when the woken worker resumes, and that
worker looks at the queue afterwards, so no change is missed.
- Each worker reuses one waiter (`IValueTaskSource`), so parking
allocates nothing.
- A woken or cancelled waiter resumes on the thread pool
(`IThreadPoolWorkItem`, global queue), never on the thread that issued
the token, so a request is never executed on the receive loop.
- A cancelled waiter leaves the stack. A token handed to a waiter whose
cancellation raced the wake is passed on. `Close` ends every parked
wait.

### `FairRequestQueue`
- **Spin before parking.** `DequeueAsync` looks once more for up to 5 µs
before parking (`SpinWait`, which yields and reaches GC safe points). At
most `ProcessorCount / 8` workers spin at once; with fewer than 8
processors none do, because a spinning worker takes a processor the
receive loops need.
- While a worker is looking, `Pulse` wakes nobody: the looking worker
sees the change through the queue's version.
- A spinning worker leaves the count before its last look, and a change
is published before its `Pulse`. So either the worker sees the change,
or the `Pulse` sees nobody looking and wakes a parked worker.
- A worker that takes a request while spinning pulses afterwards for the
rest of the backlog.
- **Adaptive spinning.** A spin that finds work raises a score; one that
runs out lowers it. At zero, only one parking worker in 16 probes with a
spin. Workers therefore keep spinning while at least about a third of
the spins find work, and moderate loads such as `browse` do not pay for
spins that find nothing.
- With 20 µs spins and no score, `browse` cost +6 % CPU per request.
With 5 µs and the score it costs the same as master.
- **Hot counters on separate cache lines.** The request count,
ready-token count, version, sequence, spinner count and wake statistics
are each on a cache line of their own (`HotCounters`), away from the
queue's read-mostly fields. `IsStopped` uses a full fence and a read
instead of an interlocked operation on the flag, which took the flag's
cache line exclusively on every admission and dispatch. In an
intermediate measurement this was worth 25.4 vs 26.9 µs per request at
24 cores.
- `DequeueAsync(waiter, ct)`: the worker overload. `DequeueAsync(ct)`
remains for callers without a waiter.

### `ServerBase.RequestQueue`
Each worker creates its waiter once and parks without registering on the
shared stop token. Stopping disposes the fair queue, which ends every
parked wait, as the channel completion did before.

## Measured and not kept
- **Spin duration and spinner count:** 2, 5, 20, 50 and 200 µs, with 1,
3, 6 or 12 spinners.
- The o6read gain is the same from 5 to 50 µs; 2 µs loses most of it at
8 processors.
- With 1 spinner the gain is smaller at 24 cores; with 6 or 12, CPU
rises.
- At 4 processors, one spinner cost about 13 % req/s at steady state; no
spinner is neutral against master.
- **Spinning without the channel replacement, and the channel
replacement without spinning:** each gave little alone (o6read 24 cores:
29.7 µs with spinning off vs 26.6 µs with it).
- **No new configuration knob:** the defaults did as well as any setting
tried.

## Testing
- New `WorkerWakeSignalTests`:
  - a token issued without a waiter;
  - coalescing until the token is consumed;
  - LIFO wake order;
  - continuation off the issuing thread;
  - a cancelled waiter leaving the stack;
  - cancellation racing a wake never losing the token (500 rounds);
  - `Close`;
- no lost wake with reused waiters (20,000 items, 3 producers, 6
consumers).
- New and extended `FairRequestQueueTests`:
- the lost-wakeup stress with spinning off, default and forced (1, 2 or
8 spinners, 50 µs), weighted and FIFO, with reused waiters;
  - a spinning reader takes a request without waking a parked one;
  - spins that run out stop spinning without losing wakes;
- a parked reader cancelled while a request arrives strands nothing, and
the lease is released exactly once (300 rounds);
- the configured worker count bounds concurrent execution (1 and 3
workers);
  - stop while workers spin or park.
- Local, net10.0:
  - Opc.Ua.Core.Tests: 6,555 passed, 88 skipped;
  - Opc.Ua.Server.Tests: 8,945 passed;
  - Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests: 858 passed, 379 skipped;
- Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests and .Client.Tests: 884 and 134 passed;
  - Opc.Ua.Stress.Tests Contract + Integration: 45 passed.

These suites ran on the branch before the rebase onto #4812. After the
rebase: Opc.Ua.Core.Tests Stack.Server 1,930 passed, 80 skipped;
Opc.Ua.Server.Tests ResourceIsolation and RequestQueue 185 passed.
- net48 builds; the new code uses `SpinWait` without `Sleep(1)` there.
- The Explicit `LoadTest` fixture fails 12 tests on master too (HTTPS
`BadServerTooBusy`, subscribe receive ratio, ArrayPool diagnostics). On
the branch, one opc.tcp event subscription run also failed (drain cap
reached at 0.91). Reruns: branch 3/3 passed, master 2/3 (0.61 in the
failing run).

0f85a9f719 AutoID: the OPC UA for AutoID Devices companion SDK (OPC 30010) (#4825)
# Description

This completes the AutoID contribution proposed in #4824: the model
package for [OPC 30010 OPC UA for AutoID
Devices](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/AutoID/v101/docs/) (1.01)
plus the server, the client, an MCP profile and a sample pair, in one
PR. It follows the newest companion pattern (GMS #4765, MachineTool,
CranesHoists, MachineVision).

## Commits

1. `fix(sourcegen)`: a structure property whose DataType a subtype
refines is redeclared with its own field (the NodeSet needs it;
unchanged from the first slice).
2. `feat(autoid)` model package `Opc.Ua.AutoID` (unchanged from the
first slice). Adds only `AutoIdReaderKind`.
3. `feat(autoid)` server package `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server`.
4. `feat(autoid)` client package `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Client`.
5. `feat(autoid)` MCP profile `Opc.Ua.Mcp.AutoID`.
6. `feat(autoid)` samples `samples/AutoID`.
7. `build(autoid)` solution, package list and package validation tests.
8. `fix(autoid)` x3, `docs(autoid)` and `test(autoid)`: review fixes,
net48 compatibility, documentation, the native AOT test.
9. `fix(autoid)` x3 and `feat(autoid-client)`: `GetLocation` location
types, the `Client` of access events, the default scan cycle of the
simulated readers, and NodeIds and methods in the device snapshot
(details below).
10. `feat(autoid)`, `test(autoid)`, `docs(autoid)` (`afdd7858b`,
`22bc3b26e`, `ed25fe4ae`, on top of the master merge `1c7948f65`):
AutoID composes into an existing Device Integration owner like Pumps and
Scales (review feedback; see "Composition with other DI-based
companions").
11. `1458af9e9` (marcschier): the `AutoIdReadOptions` remarks state that
`StatusOnly` limits the values read and that each call still browses
(Copilot review).
12. `fix(autoid)` `3ef2f1507`: `GetDeviceLocation` answers with the same
status codes as `GetLocation`; `feat(autoid-mcp)` `f6405152f`:
`autoid_read_device` shows the new snapshot NodeIds and methods (details
below).

## Server: `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server`

- Reader devices (RFID, OCR, optical, optical verifier, RTLS) on the DI
device model, created by a fluent builder (`AutoIdRuntime.Reader(name,
provider)`) and hosted with `AddAutoId` / `ConfigureAutoId` on
`IServiceCollection`.
- Hardware is behind provider interfaces: `IAutoIdReaderProvider`,
`IAutoIdScanProvider` (Scan), `IAutoIdAsyncScanProvider`
(ScanStart/ScanStop), `IAutoIdRfidProvider` (ReadTag, WriteTag,
WriteTagID, KillTag, LockTag, SetTagPassword, each opt-in by flag),
`IAutoIdRtlsProvider`. Providers push scans, presence, log entries and
access events through `IAutoIdReaderSink`. In-memory providers (an EPC
Gen2 tag model with banks, passwords, locks and kill) are included for
tests and samples.
- Optional children (methods, `LastScanData`, `DeviceLocation`,
`AntennaNames`, location methods) exist only when the provider supports
them. Facet profiles and conformance units are advertised only for what
is implemented (`IConformanceContributor`); the Full facet is withheld.
- `GetLocation` (OPC 30010 6.6.3.2) returns the location in the
requested `LocationType`. An unsupported type is `Bad_InvalidArgument`,
an unknown object `Bad_NotFound`, and a supported type the object's
location is not available in `Bad_InvalidState` (6.6.3.2: "not available
or not allowed e.g. due to special configuration"); a provider result of
another type never reaches the client. `InMemoryRtlsProvider` takes an
optional location converter, for example from the configured local
coordinate system (9.3.4) into WGS84.
- `GetDeviceLocation` (6.1.3.7) uses the same mapping: an undefined
location type is `Bad_InvalidArgument`, a device location that is not
available in the requested type `Bad_InvalidState` (it answered
`Bad_NotSupported` before). 6.1.3.7 lists only "Standard OPC UA status
codes defined for the Call Service in OPC 10000-4"; there
`Bad_NotSupported` means "The Method is not supported for the Object
instance", which is wrong for a published method, and OPC 10000-4
5.12.2.4 allows reusing an existing status code with the same canonical
meaning, so the method follows 6.6.3.2.
- Access events (7.10, 7.11): `Client` is "the name of the client
application which was the originator of the command", so it is the
application name of the session's client description (else its
application URI), not the user identity. The results of a `ScanStart`
scan name the client that started it; scans the device reports on its
own name the device.
- The simulated readers default to one scan cycle per second
(`CycleInterval`, configurable per provider; the length of a cycle is
device specific in OPC 30010), so an unbounded `ScanStart` raises at
most one scan event per second.
- Behaviour: one scan at a time with a generation counter;
ScanStart/ScanStop serialised; a scan started by a session stops when
that session closes; the maximum scan duration, tag read length and
result count are limited by `AutoIdServerOptions`; device status changes
and events are raised outside locks; registration is rolled back on
failure; readers, providers and the runtime are disposed in order and
in-flight operations are drained.

## Composition with other DI-based companions

A server has one Device Integration owner, and AutoID now uses the
existing harmonized composition instead of requiring its own node
manager:

- `AutoIdMachineryModelProvider` adds the AutoID model to the Machinery
owner's model-provider pipeline (dependency-ordered, `Order` 200) and
keeps the DI nodes the owner loaded, so DI and `DeviceSet` exist once.
- `AddAutoIdToMachinery` (after `AddMachinery`) registers it;
`ConfigureAutoIdFor<TNodeManager>` creates readers on any
`DiNodeManager` owner, successive delegates share one `AutoIdRuntime`;
`owner.CreateAutoIdRuntime()` is the path without DI hosting. The owner
disposes the runtime on shutdown.
- Readers are registered in the owner below its `DeviceSet`, NodeIds in
the owner's instance namespace (`AutoIdRuntime.InstanceNamespaceIndex`),
not in the `Machines` folder; the AutoID conformance units and facets
are published by the owner next to the DI and Machinery ones.
- `AddAutoId` remains for the "AutoID is the only DI-based companion"
case and is built from the same provider. Next to another DI owner it is
still rejected; the message names the composition API. (Bypassing that
check gives two `DeviceSet` copies; the server routes `DeviceSet` to the
first owner and readers in the second are not browsable, checked
locally.)
- `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server` now references `Opc.Ua.Machinery.Server` (a
stable package), as Vision does; a stand-alone server still loads only
DI and AutoID.

## Client: `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Client`

Reader discovery (a failed browse propagates), typed calls for every
published method, a device snapshot with documented `AutoIdReadOptions`,
and an async event stream (`ObserveScan/Access/Presence/LogEntries`) on
`IStreamingSubscription`. Cancellation is honoured throughout.
`AddAutoIdClient` registers it for DI. Because most children of a device
are optional (6.1, 6.5.3, 6.6.3), the snapshot also carries the NodeIds
of `DeviceStatus`, `LastScanData`, `LastScanTimestamp` and
`DeviceLocation` and the browse names of the published methods
(`Methods`, `HasMethod`), taken from the same browse whatever the read
options, so a client can monitor the device and knows what it may call
without browsing again.

## MCP profile: `Opc.Ua.Mcp.AutoID`

`McpToolProfile.AutoId` with nine tools: list readers, read device,
scan, scan start/stop, observe scan events, read tag, get supported
location types, get location. `autoid_read_device` also returns
`deviceStatusId`, `lastScanDataId`, `lastScanTimestampId` and
`deviceLocationId` (NodeId strings, null when the device does not
publish the variable) and `methods` (the browse names of the published
methods), built explicitly without reflection. Registered in the host
builder, the profile switches of the other profiles,
`Test-McpGrade.ps1`, `McpREADME.md` and `.mcp/server.json`.

## Samples

`samples/AutoID/AutoIdServer` (a dock-door reader with a simulated
pallet) and `AutoIdClient` with a README and
`Test-AutoIdSamplePair.ps1`. The default port is not a common one; tests
use port 0.

## Other changes

- `Opc.Ua.Di.Server` gets `InternalsVisibleTo` for
`Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server` (`RegisterRootNotifierAsync`).
- `UA.slnx`, `.azurepipelines/expected-packages.txt`,
`PackageVersionPolicyTests`, `NuGetPackageSetValidationTests`.
- Docs: `docs/AutoID.md`, `docs/McpServer.md`, `docs/Profiles.md`,
`docs/Samples.md`, `docs/DeveloperGuide.md`, `docs/README.md`,
`docs/WhatsNewIn2.0.md`, `README.md`, NugetREADMEs. The "model package
only" statements are removed.
- All packages follow the root version (no preview override).

## Specification notes and questions for the maintainers

- The model is 1.01, published 2020-06-18 (the NodeSet header). OPC
30010 6.1.3.16 prescribes the `AutoIdModelVersion` string `"1.00"`,
which is what the NodeSet carries and what the server publishes.
- **Question:** the NodeSet's optical verifier `Scan` method returns
`WGS84Coordinate`, which looks like a model error. It is not published,
and providers that implement `IAutoIdScanProvider` for a verifier are
rejected. Is that the behaviour you want?
- The stack answers a call to an unpublished optional method with
`BadNotImplemented`.

## Design choices reviewers may want changed

- `Opc.Ua.Di.Server` gets `InternalsVisibleTo` for
`Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server`, so the server can call
`RegisterRootNotifierAsync`.
- `AutoIdReaderKind` (and `AutoIdReaderKinds.TypeIdOf`) lives in the
model package `Opc.Ua.AutoID`, not in the server package, so the client
and the MCP tools share it.
- The MCP profile is read-only/safe: no tools that write, kill or lock
tags.

## Tests

`tests/Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` has 306 tests (116 of the model slice, 190
new): reader lifecycle, scan semantics, tag access handlers, limits,
conformance, in-memory providers, hosting, and over-the-wire
client/server tests with result codes, events, concurrency and dispose.
`tests/Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` has 13 AutoID MCP tests plus the updated
profile-count tests. New behaviour tests fail without the code (for
example a provider's own cancellation, a synchronous scan while a scan
stop is in progress; for the last round: `GetLocation` of a supported
type the object is not located in answered `Bad_NotFound`, access events
named the user "Anonymous" and attributed `ScanStart` results to the
device, and an unbounded `ScanStart` on a default simulated reader
reported 20 times in 400 ms). Composition: `AutoIdCompositionTests`
(stock Machinery owner, providers out of order, DI loaded once, instance
ownership, rollback, cancellation, runtime disposal, an
application-owned DI owner, a second DI owner rejected) and
`AutoIdMachineryCompositionEndToEndTests` (Machinery + Pumps + AutoID in
one hosted server, read back by the AutoID, Machinery and Pumps clients,
including a scan and the published profiles and conformance units).
Mutating the change (no lifetime registration, the DI instance namespace
for browse names, the old ownership message) fails three of them. The
sample pair script passes. `tests/Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests.Mcp` has an AutoID
profile test (`AutoIdMcpAotTests`); the project was published with
Native AOT on osx-arm64 and all 64 tests passed. Publishing it also
found two `JsonArray.Add<T>` uses in the MCP tools (IL2026/IL3050), now
fixed.

## Verification (local, macOS arm64, SDK pinned in `global.json`)

The branch contains the master merges `fc556be7e`, `1c7948f65` and
`af7feb886`; the three composition commits sit between the last two (the
latest merge touches no AutoID, DI or Machinery file). `1458af9e9`
(marcschier) and the two commits of the last round follow `af7feb886`.

- **Last round (`3ef2f1507`, `f6405152f`).** Builds with `-m:2
-nodeReuse:false -p:UseSharedCompilation=false`: `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests`
on all target frameworks and with `-p:CustomTestTarget=net48`,
`Opc.Ua.Mcp.AutoID` on net8.0/net9.0/net10.0, `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` on
net10.0: 0 warnings, 0 errors. `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` 306/306 on net10.0;
`Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` AutoID tests 60/60, and the profile, catalogue,
composition and package tests that reference AutoID (2241) pass. The
changed tests fail without the code: `GetDeviceLocation` answered
`Bad_NotSupported` for both cases, and `autoid_read_device` had no
`deviceStatusId`. `tests/Opc.Ua.Aot.Tests.Mcp` published with Native AOT
on osx-arm64 (no IL2026/IL3050 warning): 64/64 passed. `dotnet format`
whitespace, style and analyzers `--verify-no-changes` on the changed
files: no finding on a changed line (line endings aside, which the LF
checkout on macOS reports for every file).

- **Build (composition round).** `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server` on all target
frameworks, `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` on net10.0 and with
`-p:CustomTestTarget=net48`, and the AutoID server sample: 0 warnings, 0
errors. MCP tools and JSON unchanged, so the native AOT test was not
republished.
- **Build (earlier rounds).** The AutoID packages and
`Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` on net10.0 and, with `-p:CustomTestTarget=net48`,
on net48/net8.0/net9.0/net10.0; `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` and
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` on net10.0 (`-m:2 -nodeReuse:false
-p:UseSharedCompilation=false`): 0 warnings, 0 errors.
- **Tests.** `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Tests` 306/306 on net10.0 (composition
round; earlier round 288/288); `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` (AutoID, host
builder, profile and package tests) 2438/2438 on net10.0;
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` 4358 passed, 8 skipped, after the
master merge touched `NodeStateGenerator.cs`. net48 was built, not run
(no Mono on macOS); the fork CI runs it. The MCP tools and their JSON
are unchanged in the last round, so the native AOT test was not
republished.
- **Coverage.** Composition round: the local coverlet collector recorded
zero hits for every module in this environment (also for unchanged
code), so no new local number; the new paths are exercised by the 18
composition tests listed above and the fork CI uploads coverage. Earlier
round: cobertura from the AutoID tests: `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Server` 92.0 %
lines / 86.8 % branches, `Opc.Ua.AutoID.Client` 89.9 % / 80 %; 110 of
the 112 coverable changed lines of the last round are covered (the two
missed lines skip a browse result without NodeId or name). The generated
code of the model package is excluded as in the other model packages.
- **Format.** `dotnet format` whitespace, style and analyzers
(`--severity info`) `--verify-no-changes` on the changed files: clean.

Fork CI (full matrix including macOS): [run
39162077465](https://github.com/biancode/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/39162077465)
on `f6405152f`: green. (Previous round: run 39130154771 on `ed25fe4ae`,
90/90 jobs green; the upstream checks on the merge `af7feb886` green,

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 484596c2a8 Server: cheaper per-item event delivery (O(1) dequeue, duplicate index, filter context reuse, no per-read timestamps) (#4837)
# Description

Low-risk speedups in the server event delivery path. With many event
monitored items on one notifier (750 on the Server object in the
`events` harness scenario), a single `MonitoredNode2` consumer thread
delivers every event to every item and is 100 % busy, which caps the
server at ~770 events/s. This PR makes the per-item work cheaper. There
are no public API or wire changes. Each commit stands alone:

1. **Server: dequeue events in O(1).** `EventMonitoredItemQueue.Dequeue`
used `List.RemoveAt(0)`, which shifted every queued event. It now
advances a head index, compacts the list once the dequeued slots are
half of it, and clears it when it runs empty. Discard oldest/newest, the
`SetQueueSize` truncation and the newest-1000 duplicate range are
unchanged. The mirroring redundancy queue snapshots only the queued
range.
2. **Server: reuse the event filter context of a monitored item.**
`QueueEvent` created a `FilterContext` per event and item. The item now
keeps it until the session replaces its `PreferredLocales`.
`GetEventFields` writes into a `Variant[]` instead of a `List` that was
then copied, and translates with the context's locales instead of
looking up the session per LocalizedText field.
3. **Server: check event duplicates against an index of the newest
entries.** `IsEventContainedInQueue` loaded the handle of up to 1000
queued entries per item and event. A reference-keyed count of the event
instances in the newest 1000 entries, kept current by
`Enqueue`/`Dequeue`/`SetQueueSize`, makes it one lookup. The checked
range is the same, and wrapped filtered-retain handles count as their
instance. If a derived queue changes `m_events` directly, the index is
rebuilt.
4. **Core: evaluate an empty content filter without an evaluator.**
`ContentFilter.Evaluate` created a `FilterEvaluator` and, through the
telemetry context, a new logger for every evaluation, also for the empty
where clause of most event filters (~16 % of the scenario's allocated
bytes). An empty filter now passes directly, and the evaluator creates
its logger only to log a failure.
5. **Core: give the fields of an initialized event a source timestamp.**
`BaseEventState.Initialize` created its field variables without a
timestamp, so `BaseVariableState.ReadValueAttribute` called
`DateTimeUtc.Now` on every read of every field for every monitored item.
The fields now carry the event time (`ReceiveTime` its own value). The
read path is unchanged, so no `ReadChildAttribute`/`ReadValueAttribute`
override is bypassed.

## Measurements

`perf/ServerLoadHarness run --scenario events --sessions 50 --subs 15
--pub 100 --security encrypt --event-rate 0 --duration 15 --warmup 8`,
with `DOTNET_gcServer=1`, `SERVER_DOTNET_gcServer=1` and
`SERVER_DOTNET_TC_QuickJitForLoops=0`,
`SERVER_DOTNET_TC_OnStackReplacement=0`. Each build is stacked on the
previous one; values are the mean of 2 alternating rounds. Runs where
processes outside the harness used more than 1.5 cores were repeated.

| build | generated events/s | event→notify p50 | KB / generated event |
ms CPU / generated event |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| master | 768 | 69.8 ms | 567 | 2.97 |
| + O(1) dequeue | 791 | 68.4 ms | 566 | 2.78 |
| + filter context reuse | 818 | 68.8 ms | 354 | 2.75 |
| + duplicate index | 854 | 63.7 ms | 356 | 2.96 |
| + empty where clause | 891 | 63.7 ms | 273 | 2.77 |
| + event field timestamps | **1001** | **61.3 ms** | **272** | **2.66**
|

- **`--event-rate 500` (below capacity):** 3.34 → 3.03 ms CPU and 590 →
294 KB per generated event. Latency is unchanged (bound by the
publishing interval).
- **Default JIT, 40 s warm-up:** 804 → 1063 events/s, 568 → 268 KB, 2.69
→ 2.37 ms.
- **CPU traces:** the consumer thread's `ReadValueAttribute` self share
drops from 24 % to 6 % of the samples and `QueueEvent` self from 14 % to
5 %. The thread is still the bottleneck, now in the generic read chain
(`GetAttributeValue` → `ReadChildAttribute` → `FindChild`). The next
step would be to evaluate each event once per distinct filter rather
than per item, which is out of scope here.

## Notes for reviewers

- `EventMonitoredItemQueue.m_events` keeps its protected
`List<EventFieldList>` type, but dequeued slots now stay null at the
front until compaction. The queued events are the last `ItemsInQueue`
entries. Nothing in the repository reads the field outside the class
except the mirroring queue, which uses the new internal
`CopyQueuedEvents()`.
- Event field variables created by `Initialize` now report the event
time as `SourceTimestamp` instead of the time of the read.

## Related Issues

- No issue. Found by the server load investigation of publish-, write-
and event-heavy load.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 37a2a831f3 Server: keep the publish timer on a fixed cadence and parallelize the sweep by work (#4829)
The publish timer loop ran a pass over all session publish queues and
then
waited a full PublishingResolution, so the cycle period was pass time +
resolution and a slow pass delayed every following cycle. Whether the
pass
ran in parallel depended only on the session count (256 or more).

Fixed cadence: the loop now waits only for what is left of the period
(RunAtFixedPeriodAsync on the server TimeProvider). A pass that overruns
the period is followed by the next pass at once and the cadence restarts
from there; missed periods are not caught up with extra passes.
Shutdown, cancellation and abandoned subscription handling are
unchanged.

Parallelism by work: a pass checks the queues on the sweep thread until
it
has used a quarter of the publishing resolution (25 ms at 100 ms), then
checks the remaining queues with Parallel.For (CheckPublishTimers). The
session count no longer decides.

Why the budget:
- The pass cost is real per-item work. In the LoadTest subscribe shape
  (50 sessions x 15 subscriptions x 600 items, all 600 written every
  150 ms, publish 100 ms) every pass promotes up to 450k items; the
sequential pass takes 85-125 ms (~0.28 us per promoted item: ready list,
IsReadyToReport, LinkedList move, trigger check, ready signal release).
  Ready-list promotion already skips items without pending values and
  subscriptions whose timer is not due, so there is no idle work left to
  skip; only parallelism makes the pass fit the period.
- Fixed cadence alone lifts delivery from 64 % to 91 % (pass ~85 ms in a
  100 ms period, no headroom); with the parallel remainder 97-98 %.
- Parallel sweeps cost CPU when the pass fits anyway: at 10 sessions the
sequential pass takes ~15 ms; a 2 ms budget made it parallel and raised
  server CPU per notification from 5.0 to 8.9 us. With the 25 ms budget
  it stays sequential.
- Idle servers stay sequential: 1000 sessions x 1 slow subscription pass
  in ~2 ms sequential (was always parallel above 256 sessions); 2
  sessions in 0.05 ms.

Diagnostic probes (one build with temporary switches, one run each,
50x15x600 shape):

| loop / sweep            | delivered | us/notif | pass avg | cycle  |
|-------------------------|-----------|----------|----------|--------|
| old loop, sequential    | 63.9 %    | 5.1      | ~125 ms  | ~225 ms|
| fixed, sequential       | 91.2 %    | 5.1      | ~85 ms   | ~110 ms|
| old loop, all parallel  | 96.9 %    | 3.9      | ~24 ms   | ~132 ms|
| fixed, all parallel     | 97.0 %    | 4.1      | ~21 ms   | 100 ms |
| fixed, 25 ms budget     | 97.8 %    | 4.4      | ~44 ms   | 100 ms |

Paired A/B against master (perf/ServerLoadHarness, Server GC, encrypted,
alternating rounds, medians; runs repeated when processes outside the
harness used more than 1.5 cores):

| shape (sessions x subs x items) | n | delivered | us/notif | server
cores |

|-----------------------------------|---|--------------|-------------|--------------|
| 50 x 15 x 600, pub 100, write 150 | 3 | 67.7 -> 97.8 | 5.5 -> 4.4 |
11.3 -> 13.3 |
| 10 x 15 x 600, pub 100, write 150 | 3 | 100.4 -> 99.9| 5.5 -> 5.1 |
3.32 -> 3.11 |
| 1000 x 1 x 1, pub 1000, write 500 | 7 | 50 -> 50 (*) | 216 -> 201 |
0.21 -> 0.20 |
| 2 x 1 x 100, pub 100, write 150 | 3 | 100 -> 100 | 48.5 -> 46.1| 0.06
-> 0.06 |

(*) two writes per publishing interval with queue size 1, by design.

Side effect at 50 sessions: server allocation per notification rises
from ~54 to ~96 B. An allocation trace attributes it to
MonitoredItemNotification: the parallel remainder makes all
subscriptions publish within a few ms, the in-flight burst exceeds the
notification pool bound (kMaxPooledNotifications = 65536) and the pool
misses; the slow sequential sweep spread gets and returns. Gen0 GCs in
the 15 s window 3-5 -> 8, pause 20-50 -> ~60 ms; CPU per notification
still drops. Addressed by the stacked #4830, which allocates these
notifications instead of pooling them (tracking issue #4819).



### Follow-up commits

- **Late wake / exact deadline** (review): a wait that ends a whole
period late restarts the cadence from the late pass (no catch-up pass),
and a sweep exactly at a subscription's deadline counts as due.
- **Phase aliasing with equal periods** (f33893b7c): with the sweep at
the publishing interval, a subscription's deadline keeps one phase
relative to the sweep for the whole session. If it falls inside the ~16
ms timer jitter, a late sweep followed by an on-time one dropped a
publishing cycle. The 2-session shape (write = publish = 100 ms, queue
size 1) was bimodal: 6 of 24 runs at 56-85 %. The deadline now advances
by one interval per expiry and skips missed expiries only when a whole
interval behind after that. Result: 24 of 24 runs at 97-101 % (master:
steady 88-98 %); write 150 ms gave 98.5-100 %, and the 50 x 15 x 600
shape stayed at 99.3-100.7 %.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 014f99a53a WebSocket transport: a sender queued across Close fails as closed (#4832)
## Problem


`WebSocketByteTransportTests.CloseFailsQueuedSendInsteadOfOrphaningItAsync`
fails intermittently. One example is test-linux-net10.0 (3/16) in run
39114639155 on #4831, an unrelated MachineTool change. The queued send
failed with a raw `WebSocketException` ("…transitioned into an invalid
state") instead of `ServiceResultException` with `BadConnectionClosed`.

## Cause

This is a product race in `WebSocketByteTransportBase`.

- `Close()` cancels the shared send token. That wakes both the in-flight
send and the queued `SemaphoreSlim.WaitAsync`.
- `SemaphoreSlim` removes a cancelled waiter on a later continuation. If
the in-flight sender's `finally` releases the lock first, the release
*grants* the queued waiter despite its cancelled token.
- `EnterSendAsync` then returned normally, and the queued sender called
`SendAsync` on the already aborted socket.
- That socket error is not an `OperationCanceledException`, so it
reached the caller untranslated.

## Fix

After acquiring the lock, `EnterSendAsync` checks whether the transport
closed. If it did, it gives the lock back and throws
`BadConnectionClosed`. `Close()` sets the closed flag before it cancels,
so every waiter woken by `Close()` sees it.

## Tests

- The existing test body moved into a helper. New
`CloseFailsQueuedSendEvenWhenTheLockIsGrantedAsync` repeats the
interleaving 2000 times (about 140 ms).
- Without the fix it fails 3/3 runs within about 100 ms, with the CI
exception. With the fix it passes 3/3.
- `Opc.Ua.Core.Tests` `~WebSocket` (net10.0): 39/39 passed.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 0005b0d5e6 WMTP: callers wait for the freshness tick instead of BadServerTooBusy (#4831)
## Problem


`WmtpMcpIntegrationTests.ReportsCopyExactWholeSelectionsWithoutConsumingEitherStore`
failed intermittently (test-linux-net10.0 13/16, run 38897795750, on
#4815, which only changes `perf/`). The `wmtp_count_records` call came
back with `BadServerTooBusy`.

## Cause

This is a product race. The UA request queue (MaxQueuedRequestCount /
MaxRequestThreadCount) is not involved, and the test makes no parallel
calls.

- `WmtpOperationCoordinator` admits one operation per peripheral and
refuses a second one with `BadServerTooBusy`.
- `WmtpPeripheral.StartMaintenance` starts a 1 s age timer (`AgeTick` →
`RefreshQualityAsync`) that takes the same gate.
- The Tools.Tests fixture clock does not override `CreateTimer`, so the
timer is a real system timer. A client call that arrived while a tick
was running was refused. On a loaded runner each tick takes longer, so
collisions become more likely.
- On a production server, any WMTP client call could randomly hit this,
and the client cannot tell it apart from a real concurrent operation.
- It did not start with #4812 or #4808. The code came in with #4765.

## Fix

- The active operation now records whether it is maintenance.
- Other operations wait up to one second for a running freshness tick
instead of being refused. A regular tick makes no equipment calls and
takes milliseconds.
- A stalled tick, for example one blocked in a state-changed sink, still
refuses the caller with `BadServerTooBusy` after that second. This keeps
`ControlledQualityMaintenanceStillExcludesOverlappingReportsAsync`
valid.
- A tick is still refused while any operation is active, and it retries
on the next tick, as before.
- Two client operations still conflict with `BadServerTooBusy`.
- The callback marker is now a chain of the peripherals a call passed
through. Re-entering a ticking peripheral through another peripheral's
callback (A → B → A) is refused instead of waiting for itself (review
feedback).

## Tests

-
`WmtpRuntimeTests.CallerArrivingDuringFreshnessTickWaitsInsteadOfBusyAsync`
holds a tick open through a `StateChangedAsync` sink. Without the fix it
fails with the CI error.
-
`WmtpRuntimeTests.IndirectReentryIntoTickingPeripheralIsRefusedInsteadOfDeadlockingAsync`
covers the A → B → A case. With the innermost-only check it times out.
- Local net10.0 runs:
  - `Opc.Ua.MachineTool.Tests` `~Wmtp`: 124/124 passed.
  - `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` `~WmtpMcp`: 176/176 passed.
  - `Opc.Ua.Machinery.Tests` `~CompanionSuiteWmtp`: 2/2 passed.

fc0687a2dc Source generator: a NodeSet2 Variable without a Value has a null Value (#4798)
# Description

A Variable or VariableType in a NodeSet2 that has no Value element has a
null Value (OPC 10000-6 F.5); the runtime NodeSet2 importer loads it
that
way. The source generator initialized such a node with the default value
of its DataType instead ((int)0, (double)0, ...), so a server built from
the generated code reported values the model never declared.

The NodeSet2 importer now records that the node declares no Value
(NodeSetValueIsNull), the flag follows the node into the merged instance
hierarchy, and the node state generator emits Variant.Null for it when
no
value was merged in from elsewhere. ModelDesign inputs, where a missing
DefaultValue implies the DataType default, are unchanged.

The tests generate a DI-style NodeSet2 together with the DI NodeSet2 and
check the generated values of a type's InstanceDeclaration, of an
instance's children with and without a Value, and of a VariableType.

Wolfgang ColsmanandCopilot 4a7dfe7411 Server: release a restored event item that its node manager rejects (#4828)
# Description

Follow-up to #4795. When a node manager returns a Bad result from
`SubscribeToEventsAsync` for an event monitored item while durable
subscriptions are restored,
`NodeManagerServiceDispatcher.RestoreMonitoredItemsAsync` removes the
item from the event manager and from the result list, but nothing
disposes it, so its queues stay alive. The item is now disposed there.

A queue that was staged for the restore
(`IRestorableMonitoredItemQueue.BeginRestore`) keeps its stored contents
when it is disposed, as for any aborted restore, so a later restore
still finds them. The data-change restore path already disposes an item
it fails to restore, and the `Objects.Server` path keeps every item, so
neither needs a change.

A test in `SubscriptionRestoreFailureTests` restores an event item that
its node manager rejects and checks that the item is unregistered and
its queue disposed; it fails without the change.

8441351902 Client: let ManagedSession validate a rediscovered endpoint (#4791)
# Description

When a reconnect is rejected with a status that requires the endpoint to
be refreshed, ManagedSession reads the endpoint again from the server's
discovery endpoint and ConfiguredEndpoint.Update replaces the endpoint
in
use with whatever discovery returned. The application had no say: a
discovery answer that, for example, drops the security mode or presents
a
different server certificate was taken over as it was.

ManagedSession.ValidateRediscoveredEndpoint (a
RediscoveredEndpointValidator)
receives the endpoint in use and the rediscovered one before the session
is
recreated against it. A Bad result keeps the endpoint in use and fails
the
reconnect attempt with that result, so the reconnect policy decides what
happens next. Without a validator the behaviour is unchanged.

Marc Schier 55bd944609 WoT: Types-side TD/TM-NodeSet conversion with consolidated corpus and minimal consumer compat (#4758)
# Description

Adds the pure Types-side WoT Thing Description / Thing Model to NodeSet
conversion: resolution, context, declarations, types, values,
localization, URI/format handling, bounded hashing, plus supporting
native XML codec, NodeSet alias/value helpers, RelativePathFormatter and
a JsonElement equality polyfill.

- Carrier-witness fix: a missing native event is accepted only when the
owning preserved type declares it through a `GeneratesEvent` reference
(directly or via its type/supertype chain) AND a bounded, validated
selected EventType carrier identity equals the normalized authored
native target. Native-present events get a full compare; an ambiguous
native key and a missing map stay strict; a readable document is never
archive authority.
- Support-only dependencies: additive per-instance, non-serialized
`WotDocument.IsSupportOnly(kind, name)` (ArgumentNullException guard).
The resolver marks support-only after closure; explicit selection wins;
the View builder excludes only true support-only members, so unit/actsOn
dependencies stay in the JSON. Nested controls cover inner value-only
projection under an outer value-only selection (unit kept, support-only)
versus an outer explicit SelectAll (explicit, not support-only).
- Documentation/XML comments and member-order only in commit 5c368d3a;
no logic change.
- Timeout repair on current head 6957dd46: invocation-scoped
`ArchiveDerivations` reuse removes repeated document-set derivation work
without a global cache (functional files
`WotNodeSetConverter.{Archive,ArchiveDerivations,Partitions,WoT}.cs`,
plus `WotArchiveDerivationsTests` and
`WotDocumentSetSharedValidationTests`). The original local full29
reproduction changed from 27 passed / 2 Refresh timeouts to 29 passed
with unchanged limits; official CI on this head FAILED at three
per-project time ceilings (see the evidence ledger). Temporary RF1
diagnostics were fully removed; the final tree differs from 0f7b9a09
only in the six functional files.
- Test-only net48 compile repair in commit b838907 (earlier head):
official CI on 5c368d3a was RED on the net48 build with CS1061 (see
ledger); the fix adds `using System.Threading;` and an unqualified
`CancellationTokenSource` in one test file. No production change.

Defaults: DI default document budget 256 versus the sample's explicit
1024. Corpus: canonical 540-JSON inventory; the actual manifest is 535
entries = 394 TD + 141 TM (the roles of the other 5 are not claimed).
Native Pumps assertions (9624 nodes / 339 partitions) are unchanged.

768b39e1be Server: surface failures to restore durable subscriptions (#4795)
# Description

SubscriptionManager.RestoreSubscriptionsAsync logged and swallowed every
restore failure: a subscription store that threw, a store that reported
an unsuccessful restore, and a stored subscription that could not be
recreated. The server then started without those subscriptions, the
store was told the restore had completed (so it cleaned up what it
held),
and nothing but a log line showed that subscriptions had been lost.

A failed restore now fails the restore, and with it the startup:
- a store that throws fails with BadInternalError and the store's
  exception as the inner exception;
- a store that reports Success = false fails with BadInternalError;
- stored subscriptions that cannot be recreated are collected and
  reported as an AggregateException, before the store is told that the
  restore completed, so the store keeps what it holds.

SubscriptionManager.ContinueOnRestoreFailure (default false) restores
the
previous behaviour for applications that prefer to start without the
subscriptions. Cancellation is no longer swallowed unless that option is
set.

The Quickstarts durable subscription store reported Success = false when
it had nothing stored; it now reports a successful restore of no
subscriptions, and keeps reporting a failure when its file cannot be
read.

Marc SchierandCopilot Autofix powered by AI 7fb986bd0d Add recycling operator console and sample container images (#4810)
# Description

Add a local browser-based operator console for the synthetic recycling
line, using direct, encrypted OPC UA connections and the existing typed
coordination interface.

- Extract a sample-local, non-packable `Recycling.Client` library shared
by the server and console. Preserve the model XML bytes, namespace/type
identifiers, resource identity, wire format and journal schema; the
server retains its .NET 8/9/10 targets.
- Add a .NET 10 ASP.NET Core workstation host with bounded SSE
state/trend delivery, native companion inspection, paged
material/genealogy reads, and role-limited coordinator commands. Exact
command envelopes are retained for explicit retries; uncertain outcomes
are not automatically reissued.
- Add the operator interface using local HTML/SVG, CSS and JavaScript
modules: ten process groups, substep inspection, faults/constraints,
persistent quality holds, trends, material tracing and simulator
administration. Show raw quality/provenance and handle stale data, run
changes, browser expiry and large identifiers explicitly. No
browser-generated plant telemetry or frontend framework/npm build is
introduced.
- Keep application/user credentials in external certificate stores. Use
strict X.509 trust, signed/encrypted UA sessions, local browser
bootstrap sessions, same-origin/CSRF checks, and a conservative
configured control ceiling. This is a local synthetic sample, not a
physical emergency-stop or shared remote-user system.
- Register `recyclingserver` and `recyclingclient` in the existing
Images CI matrix, using source/prebuilt Dockerfile stages and the
existing portable-IL/multiarchitecture packaging flow. Add an optional
loopback-published Compose console service. No new schedules or NuGet
publication entries are added.
- Add managed, real-UA, Chromium, NativeAOT and image-contract
qualification, with Microsoft.Playwright as a test-only centrally
managed dependency, and update usage/deployment documentation.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 44a8cb277d plans/ctt-issues.md: record C60 (CTT publish thread stall in the A&C Limit/Level CUs) (#4820)
The CTT regression run on master (716858aa7) reported 6 Pass → Error
regressions in the A&C part:
A & C Exclusive Limit `Test_003.js`–`Test_006.js` and A & C
Non-Exclusive Level `Test_003.js`/`Test_004.js`.

They are not a server regression:

- On the GitHub runner, the A&C part failed in 6 of 9 runs: master 3 of
6, and a14b23e7d (the last build that had passed) 3 of 3.
- A traced server answered every Publish request of the affected session
(413 requests, 413 responses). After that, the CTT sent only Read
requests on the same channel, and the session's Subscriptions expired.
- Locally (13 runs, also pinned to 4 cores) the A&C part never failed.

The trigger is the CTT CI's default publishing interval of 150 ms, which
keeps the five Subscriptions of the Limit/Level CUs permanently due for
a keep-alive. The CTT CI now uses 250 ms for the A&C part: 3 of 3 A&C
runs and one full run passed, with 0 regressions against the baseline.

This PR only records the defect as C60 in `plans/ctt-issues.md`. There
is no code change.

| `--event-rate` | `events` | Events/s the server reports; 0 = as fast
as one thread can. |
| `--writers N` | `sub` | Dedicated writer sessions in addition to
`--sessions` (0: the first subscriber session writes, as before). |
| `--write-interval 0` | `sub` | Closed-loop writers instead of a timer.
|
| `--write-batch` | `sub` | Values per Write; writers rotate through the
nodes in slices. |
| `--node-type all` | `sub` | The LoadTest's Int16…UInt64 mass node set
(up to 600 nodes). |
| `--queue-size` | `sub`, `events` | Monitored item queue size (default
1 / 10000). |
| `--publish-requests` | all classic | Minimum outstanding Publish
requests per session. |

Also:
- `Workload.Secondary` / `OnServerReport` hooks and a `per-op2:` result
line: server cost per written value (`sub`) or per generated event
(`events`).
- TraceAnalyzer `threads` mode: busy share of each thread with its main
roles (finds serialized stages).
- TraceAnalyzer `cpu <trace> <top> <focus>` additionally lists the focus
frame's direct callees.
- README rows and paragraphs for all of the above.

Conflicts with #4815's rewrite (native workers, `suspend`/`samples`
modes) were resolved so #4815's code and text stay and these additions
are layered on top.

## Verification

Builds: `CustomTestTarget=net10.0 dotnet build perf/ServerLoadHarness -c
Release` and `dotnet build perf/TraceAnalyzer -c Release`: 0 warnings, 0
errors.

Smoke tests (`--duration 5 --warmup 3`, `DOTNET_gcServer=1
SERVER_DOTNET_gcServer=1`), each run only once foreign CPU was below 1.5
cores, with foreign CPU measured during the run (avg 0.5–0.6 cores):

| Run | Result |
|---|---|
| `events --sessions 5 --subs 3 --event-rate 2000` | generated/s=2009,
events/s=30413, received/expected=100.9 %; `per-op2` 588.9 µs CPU / 31.5
KB per generated event |
| `sub --sessions 5 --subs 3 --nodes 600 --node-type all --writers 4
--write-interval 0 --write-batch 100` | 131k values/s written, 77k
notif/s, writeErrors=0; received/expected=3.9 % (queue size 1 with
closed-loop writers: values are overwritten before publishing, as
intended); `per-op2` 50.5 µs / 1680 B per written value |
| `sub --sessions 2 --subs 1 --nodes 100 --queue-size 2
--publish-requests 4` | received/expected=98.0 %, writeErrors=0 |
| same as the second run with `--trace` | 23 MB trace; `TraceAnalyzer
threads` lists 58 threads with busy shares and roles; `cpu … 10
MonitoredItem.Publish` prints callers, first Opc.Ua frame and the new
"direct callees of" section |

#4815's own scenarios still parse: `counters` passes; `native-read`
(with `--server-affinity`, `--thread-states`) and `native-counters`
start the contract server and fail only at launching the (absent) native
worker executable, as expected without the workers.

4e77ba3f84 Redundancy: snapshot and restore for RaftSharedKeyValueStore (#4794)
# Description

RaftSharedKeyValueStore applies every committed command but offers no
way
to capture its state. An application that wants to bound the Raft log
cannot snapshot the store before compacting its consensus log, and after
a
restart it cannot restore the state without replaying the whole log.

Add CreateSnapshotAsync, which commits a barrier through the consensus
and
encodes the state in a versioned format, and RestoreSnapshot, which
replaces the state before the store starts applying the log. A malformed
snapshot raises FormatException; restoring after start raises
InvalidOperationException.

Tests: RaftSharedKeyValueStoreSnapshotTests (round trip, log applied
after
restore, restore after start rejected, corrupt snapshot rejected).

2de64d7d93 Source generator: keep NodeSet2 references to nodes of referenced models (#4796)
# Description

A reference in a NodeSet2 input whose target is a node of another model
was
dropped without a diagnostic when that model is supplied by a referenced
assembly rather than by an AdditionalFiles input. The dependency
metadata
of a referenced assembly carries types only, so the importer could not
resolve an instance such as DI's DeviceSet and skipped every reference
to
it: a device organized by DeviceSet (inverse Organizes) lost that
reference, and so did any non-hierarchical reference to such a node.

When the target of a reference is in another, non-zero namespace and no
loaded design defines it, the importer now creates a stand-in that
carries
only the NodeId the generated AddReference call needs. The stand-in is
not
generated. References whose reference type is unknown are still skipped.

Tests generate a DI-style NodeSet2 whose device is organized by
DeviceSet
against DI supplied as a referenced assembly and as an AdditionalFile,
and
compile the result against the stack.

Marc Schier b1c0cd20fd Fix classic browse-path subscription restoration (#4814)
# Description

Persisted classic subscriptions retain their server/client handles but
previously lost relative-path resolution metadata. Transfer could
succeed, yet a later `ApplyChangesAsync` attempted to resolve an
already-created item and failed. The SDK now owns this restoration
lifecycle without exposing a public resolution-state setter.

- Preserve the originally monitored target in internal snapshot state
and restore both `ResolvedNodeId` and `Status.NodeId`.
Transfer/reactivation use handles without re-browsing; fresh creation
resolves paths again.
- Version classic subscription/configuration files and read existing
unversioned 2.0 files using frozen legacy wire layouts. Legacy missing
targets remain unknown rather than being guessed.
- Exclude existing items from creation-time resolution, reserve creation
before asynchronous translation, and reject stale translation results.
Failed deletion retains identity and pending retry state.
- Support forward-only snapshot input using position tracking and
bounded, per-ExtensionObject buffering in the binary decoder, including
short reads. No whole-file buffering or reflection-based serialization
is introduced.
- Add unit/integration regressions and document the supported lifecycle
and migration implications.

**Compatibility:** Newly written files require the updated SDK. Existing
2.0 files remain readable. Assigning a different `StartNodeId` or
`RelativePath` to a created/in-flight item now immediately throws
`BadInvalidState`; unchanged assignments remain allowed. No V2
subscription-engine changes or 1.5 XML import are included.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 8e96408b2a Fuzz oracles: confirm net48 allocation findings by re-running the target (#4818)
## Problem

`FuzzCrashAssets(AflfuzzBinaryDecoder)` failed intermittently on net48
(run 38897795750, test-windows-net48 1/16, on #4815, which changes only
`perf/`):

> 10562496 bytes allocated for 42 input bytes, budget 8391296 bytes

On .NET Framework, `FuzzOracles` measures allocations with
`AppDomain.MonitoringTotalAllocatedMemorySize`. That counter covers the
whole AppDomain, so it also counts other threads in the test host.

Measured on net48 Release for
`crash-0bdcbfafc13981ae6f665ad52cabc1cbe21b0238`:

| Scenario | Bytes |
|---|---|
| First decode in the process (one-time XML setup) | 1,083,232 |
| Later decodes, same thread or a fresh thread | 16,440 |
| Same decode with one concurrent thread allocating | 10.7 to 23.8 MB
(over budget) |

The decoder does not have a per-thread cost, and #4812 did not regress
it. The CI TRX shows that tests ran one at a time. The failure came
about 2 s into the run, right after a burst of about 100 fast test
cases, which fits vstest serializing results on a background thread.

## Fix

`FuzzOracles.RunTarget` re-runs a target when the allocation finding
comes from a counter that is not per thread (`AllocationConfirmationRuns
= 2`). It reports the finding only if every run confirms it. A real
over-budget decode allocates the same amount every time, while a burst
on another thread rarely lines up with all three runs. This is the same
approach the time oracle already uses (`TimeConfirmationRuns`). Runtimes
with a per-thread counter (net8+) behave as before. `FuzzMethods`
playback goes through `RunTarget` too, so it also gets the confirmation
runs.

## Tests

- New tests in `FuzzOraclesTests`:
- A finding that every run confirms is still reported, after 3 runs on
net48 and 1 run on net8+.
- A finding inflated by another thread is ignored (net48 only). This
test fails when the confirmation runs are set to 0.
- net48 Release: Opc.Ua.Fuzzing.Tests 156/156,
Opc.Ua.Encoders.Fuzz.Tests 8130/8130.
- net10.0: FuzzOraclesTests pass.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 8b56937fdf perf: drive the server with external native benchmark workers; TraceAnalyzer GC modes (#4815)
## What this adds

Harness-only changes under `perf/` (not part of `UA.slnx`, `net10.0`).
No product code changes.

### External native worker scenarios (`ServerLoadHarness`)

Two new scenarios run the native open62541 workers of the

[o6-automation/opcua-benchmarks](https://github.com/o6-automation/opcua-benchmarks)
project
against a server, so the .NET server and other OPC UA stacks are
measured with the same client
as that project's published comparison:

| Scenario | What it measures |
|---|---|
| `native-read` | Fixed-load scalar Read throughput
(`throughput/open62541/client.c --worker async`): `--clients` worker
processes, each with `--inflight` single-value Reads of
ns=1;i=1001..1100 in flight, starting together. Reports aggregate req/s,
and server CPU and allocated bytes per request. |
| `native-counters` | Subscription capacity
(`subscription/native/client.c`): one subscription with `--nodes` UInt64
counters at `--sampling` 10 ms / `--pub` 1000 ms, queue size 1. Passes
when every item gets 99 % of the samples its sampling interval calls
for. |

The result block has the same lines as the other scenarios, and the CPU
time of the native
workers goes in `client-per-op:`.

The server is either the harness child in **contract mode** (`server
--contract 1`) or any
external executable (`--server-exe`, `--server-args` with `{port}`,
`{items}`, `{sampling}` and
`{pki}` placeholders), for example the benchmark's open62541 server or
one of its .NET workers.

By default the harness child is configured like the benchmark's .NET
worker for
UA-.NETStandard 2.0.1:

| Setting | Default | Override |
|---|---|---|
| Node managers | `AsyncCustomNodeManager` | `--async-node-manager 0`
(`CustomNodeManager2`) |
| Counter increment | under a lock owned by the counters |
`--counter-lock 0` (interlocked) |
| Garbage collector | Server GC | `SERVER_DOTNET_gcServer=0` |
| `MaxQueuedRequestCount` | clients × in flight + 3 (minimum 200) |
`--queue` |

Other options: `--native-client`, `--clients`, `--inflight`,
`--iterations`, `--warmup-calls`,
`--server-affinity` (processor mask; combine it with
`SERVER_DOTNET_PROCESSOR_COUNT`, because the
mask is applied after the runtime has sized itself),
`--client-affinity`, `--server-priority`,
`--thread-states 1` (samples Running/Ready server threads and appends a
`sched:` line), `--security encrypt`
(Basic256Sha256 SignAndEncrypt with generated DER identities) and
`--verbose`. Also, the
`MinRequestThreadCount` of the server child is now the smaller of 50 and
`--threads`, so
`--threads` below 50 takes effect.

**Worker protocol.** The workers define a few names that are kept as
string literals in named
constants: the environment variables `O6_BENCHMARK_SECURITY_POLICY`,
`O6_BENCHMARK_CERTIFICATE`
and `O6_BENCHMARK_PRIVATE_KEY`, the `O6_BENCHMARK_READY` stdout token,
the identity
application URI / subject prefixes, and the server URI
`urn:o6:benchmark:server`. The workers
need that server URI because the contract puts its nodes in the
namespace of the server URI and
the workers address them as ns=1. Identifiers, file names, scenario and
option names are neutral.

### TraceAnalyzer

- `cpu` with a focus frame also reports the first `Opc.Ua` frame above
it, past framework
  wrappers such as `Monitor.Enter` or `SemaphoreSlim`.
- **GC-poll attribution:** the thread-time sampler suspends running
threads at their next GC
poll, so many on-CPU samples have `Thread.PollGCWorker` as their leaf.
`cpu` used to drop
them as waits (in one trace only 3.5k of 20k on-CPU samples were kept);
it now attributes them
  to the caller.
- `gc` mode (for `--trace-profile gc`): collections by generation, type
and reason; the
suspension time and the whole pause, each with count, total and
percentiles.
- `samples` mode: all samples by type (managed/external) and by leaf and
first `Opc.Ua` frame,
  including the ones `cpu` leaves out.
- `suspend <trace> [thresholdMs]` mode: every SuspendEE longer than the
threshold, with the
events recorded inside it by thread (an `AllocationTick` there means a
thread that had not
reached a safe point yet); event counts including the heap count DATAS
chose and GC handle
  churn by kind.

## Building the workers

The benchmark repository is AGPL-3.0, so nothing of it is vendored here.
Clone it and build the
workers separately. On Windows they build with `zig cc` and CMake
against the open62541 commit
the benchmark pins (OpenSSL backend, `UA_ENABLE_DEBUG_SANITIZER=OFF`,
Release). The
subscription workers also need `poll()` on stdin replaced by
`PeekNamedPipe`, plus unbuffered
control output. `perf/README.md` describes all of this.

## Commits

1. `perf: drive the server with external native benchmark workers`
2. `perf: configure the contract server like the benchmark's 2.0.1 .NET
worker`
3. `perf: TraceAnalyzer gc and samples modes, samples taken at GC polls`
4. `perf: scheduling and GC-suspension diagnostics for the native worker
runs`

Each commit builds with 0 warnings
(`CustomTestTarget=net10.0 dotnet build perf/ServerLoadHarness -c
Release`,
`dotnet build perf/TraceAnalyzer -c Release`), and `dotnet format
whitespace` makes no changes.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 c3701e5804 CI CTT: call the private repository through Actions REST endpoints only (#4816)
The first run after configuring the GitHub App
([run](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38895888727))
minted its token correctly but failed on the dispatch:

> unable to determine default branch for
OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard-CTT: GraphQL: Resource not accessible by
integration (repository.defaultBranchRef)

`gh workflow run` (and other `gh` commands) make GraphQL calls that need
Contents access, but the App only has Actions read/write. Dispatch, run
lookup, polling and the summary download now use `curl` on the Actions
REST API, so the App needs no more than Actions read/write.

## Test plan
- [x] `bash -n` on the step script
- [x] Run-list filter, run status and `ctt-public-summary` artifact
download checked with `curl` against the private repository (earlier run
`repeat-1`)
- [ ] After merge: Actions → CTT regression → Run workflow on master

716858aa7d Source generator: option to emit exactly the nodes of a NodeSet2 (#4797)
# Description

For a NodeSet2 input the generator built the predefined nodes from the
merged instance hierarchy. A subtype therefore got a copy of every
Mandatory InstanceDeclaration of its supertypes as a new child node,
with
a NodeId the NodeSet2 never assigned (the supertype's numeric identifier
in the subtype's namespace, or a string identifier derived from the path
when the supertype comes from a referenced assembly). A DeviceType
subtype got eight such children from DI's DeviceType, so the address
space
a server loads from the generated code differs from the NodeSet2 it was
generated from.

ModelSourceGeneratorEmitNodeSetNodesOnly (GeneratorOptions
.EmitNodeSetNodesOnly), off by default, makes the predefined nodes of a
NodeSet2 input exactly the nodes the NodeSet2 declares: a child the
generator derives from a supertype or type definition is not added to a
predefined node. The typed state classes are unchanged and still reach
inherited members through the state classes of their supertypes, and the
CreateInstanceOf* factories still create every Mandatory child of the
type. ModelDesign inputs are not affected. IModelDesign.IsSourceNodeSet
tells the generator whether the target model was read from a NodeSet2.

A test in Opc.Ua.Di.Tests generates a DI-style NodeSet2 with the option
on, exports the generated predefined nodes as a NodeSet2 and compares it
with the input, node for node and reference for reference.

8772f37275 Fix recycling scenario defaults and MCP interoperability (#4808)
# Description

Fix five failures reproduced while exercising the recycling sample
through a locally built OPC UA MCP server:

- Support Certificate authentication through named, host-approved X.509
identity selectors and the existing certificate/identity providers. Tool
arguments cannot supply private keys or arbitrary certificate-store
paths.
- Register custom enumeration dependencies from the validated, bounded
type snapshot before loading requested structure roots.
- Preserve structured fields and opaque encoded bodies in generic
read/call results using the selected session's UA codecs.
- Add bounded, explicitly typed UA JSON method arguments while retaining
the existing string argument behavior and C# overloads.
- Preserve omitted defaults in sparse recycling scenario JSON; explicit
invalid values and unknown members still fail validation. All six
shipped scenario files are covered by regressions.

Update the MCP and recycling documentation. This PR contains one fix
commit on a feature branch in **OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard**, based
directly on upstream `master` at `95850b7e5`. No local registration,
certificates, scenario journals or live-test artifacts are included.

### Validation

**Final commit `d199feba0`: 216 affected MCP tests and 16 recycling
CLI/scenario tests passed on .NET 10**, with no failures, fixture
setup/teardown errors or build/analyzer warnings. The repository's TRX
verdict helper accepted both reports.

**Draft: the full-solution gate is not green.** The .NET 10 solution run
encountered an `Opc.Ua.OneFuzz.Validator.Tests` fixture-publication
failure outside the files changed by this PR: `MSB3030`, missing
`Opc.Ua.OneFuzz.TestDependency.runtimeconfig.json`. It affected 210
tests; the run was stopped rather than expanding this PR into unrelated
OneFuzz work. The full .NET Framework 4.8 solution suite was not run.

Before the final rebase, the complete managed recycling suite passed
**117**, and the CLI/scenario tests passed **16 each on .NET 8 and .NET
9**, with no failures or fixture teardown errors. The five explicit
NativeAOT smoke cases were not selected.

Actual live qualification used one coordinator and all ten independent
process servers with strict certificate trust. Healthy, combined-fault
and zero-utility runs each produced 24 complete packages with exact
component conservation. Also exercised native companion discovery,
subscriptions, authorization, pause/step/enable/disable, durable request
replay, quality holds, reset and coordinator crash recovery. NativeAOT
executables, container deployment and parity against a complete external
producer contract were not qualified.

romanettandClaude Opus 5.5 68f062eecc Server request path: one response header, single-node Read without collections, codec streams reused per thread (S1-S6, -38 % allocation per Read) (#4812)
## Description

Six small changes to the per-request path from the o6 benchmark gap
report (S1–S6), chosen from the allocation profile of the o6 read
benchmark (`AsyncCustomNodeManager`, Server GC, 10 clients × 100
single-value Reads in flight). Each change is its own commit. The
receive loop, its threading and its dispatch are not touched; there are
no wire, public API or generator changes.

### Results

Paired A/B runs, builds alternated per round, 5 rounds unless noted,
medians (min..max). Baseline: master d40843c23 with #4787, #4788 and
#4805 (all three merged since; this branch is rebased on master). Each
item was measured on its own on the baseline, and all six together. The
machine is shared with other sessions: a run during which another test
host or load harness ran was discarded and repeated. Allocated bytes per
request are deterministic; CPU per request is best read from the runs
pinned to 4 logical processors (`--server-affinity 0xF`, the 4 Zen 5
cores).

**Allocated bytes per request** (o6read 10 × 100, pinned):

| Node manager, security | baseline | S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | S5 | S6 | all
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| async, plain | 4,219 B | 4,114 (−2.5 %) | 3,631 (−13.9 %) | 4,057
(−3.8 %) | 4,123 (−2.3 %) | 4,099 (−2.8 %) | 3,511 (−16.8 %) | **2,411
(−42.9 %)** |
| async, encrypted | 4,267 B | −2.6 % | −13.8 % | −3.7 % | −2.4 % | −3.1
% | −16.5 % | **2,465 (−42.2 %)** |
| `CustomNodeManager2`, plain | 5,407 B | −2.1 % | −5.1 % | −3.0 % |
−1.8 % | −2.5 % | −12.9 % | **3,910 (−27.6 %)** |
| `CustomNodeManager2`, encrypted | 5,457 B | −2.0 % | −5.1 % | −2.9 % |
−1.9 % | −2.4 % | −12.9 % | **3,963 (−27.4 %)** |

**CPU per request, pinned to 4 logical processors:**

| Node manager, security | baseline | all six | each item alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| async, plain | 28.3 µs (27.8..29.8) | **27.1 µs (25.6..27.7), −4.2 %**
| −2.7 .. +1.9 % |
| async, encrypted | 31.5 µs (30.8..32.9) | 30.6 µs (30.1..40.1), −2.8 %
| −2.8 .. +0.8 % |
| `CustomNodeManager2`, plain | 34.0 µs (33.1..36.6) | **31.2 µs
(30.5..34.1), −8.1 %** | −5.0 .. +2.5 % |
| `CustomNodeManager2`, encrypted | 35.8 µs (35.0..38.9) | **34.3 µs
(33.5..35.2), −4.1 %** | −1.0 .. +3.8 % |

Garbage collections in the pinned plain run (300,000 requests): gen0 19
→ 12, pause 85 → 50 ms.

**After review (S6 with immutable codecs):** the tables above were
measured with a decoder and an encoder reset per message. Keeping
`BinaryDecoder` and `BinaryEncoder` immutable, so every message gets new
ones, costs about 214 bytes per Read: all six together allocate 2,625 B
per Read instead of 2,411 B in the pinned plain run (2 runs), −37.8 %
against the baseline.

**24 cores and the managed client** (all six against the baseline; the
managed scenarios 3 rounds):

| Scenario | baseline | all six |
|---|---|---|
| o6read 10 × 100, 24 cores: req/s | 296.3k (283.4..305.4k) | 302.2k
(245.0..323.0k) |
| same: allocated / request | 4,169 B | 2,349 B (−43.7 %) |
| o6read 10 × 1000, 24 cores: req/s | 297.4k (284.2..309.8k) | 295.6k
(269.6..311.5k) |
| same: allocated / request | 4,196 B | 2,373 B (−43.4 %) |
| `read --nodes 1`, 20 sessions: req/s, CPU / request | 259.3k, 40.2 µs
| 271.4k, 38.9 µs (−3.2 %) |
| same: allocated / request | 4,172 B | 2,444 B (−41.4 %) |
| `read --nodes 1`, 200 sessions: req/s, CPU / request | 257.1k, 36.7 µs
| 283.6k, **33.1 µs (−9.8 %)** |
| same: allocated / request | 4,041 B | 2,354 B (−41.7 %) |
| `read --nodes 100`: CPU / request | 226.1 µs | 214.9 µs (−5.0 %) |
| same: allocated / request | 72,379 B | 52,046 B (−28.1 %; S2 alone
−26.3 %) |
| `browse`: CPU / request (6 rounds) | 147.9 µs | 148.8 µs (+0.6 %) |
| same: allocated / request | 38,234 B | 32,603 B (−14.7 %) |
| `sub`: allocated / notification | 126 B | 121 B (−4.0 %) |

**Reading the CPU numbers.** Every item lowers the allocation per
request by a deterministic amount, and the savings add up (the six items
alone sum to −42.1 % against −42.9 % together). CPU per request follows
only partly: each item alone changes it within the run-to-run noise (±3
%); all six together lower it by 3–10 %, with the min..max ranges
separated in the pinned plain async and the `CustomNodeManager2`
encrypted runs and in `read --nodes 1` with 200 sessions. With Server GC
on 4 cores, garbage collection is a small share of the CPU, so 40 %
fewer bytes buy a few percent of CPU. At 24 cores throughput and CPU per
request are dominated by where the scheduler places the threads (Zen 5
and Zen 5c cores) and do not resolve a change of this size.

Allocation trace (o6read 10 × 100, first `Opc.Ua` frame): gone are the
`ResponseHeader` from `ServerBase.CreateResponse`, `Dictionary<NodeId,
NodeState>` (`AsyncCustomNodeManager.ReadAsync`), one of two
`NodeHandle`s, `Variant[]`/`uint[]` (permission attributes),
`List<DataValue>`/`List<DiagnosticInfo>`/`DiagnosticInfo[]`,
`ArrayOf<ExtensionObject>` (`Variant.Copy`), `RolePermissionType[]`,
`SecureChannelContext`, `PendingAdmission`, `System.Action`,
`RequestExecutionScope`, the `DequeueAsync` state machine box,
`MemoryStream`/`BinaryReader` of the decoder, `ArraySegmentStream`,
`BinaryWriter` and one `BufferCollection`.

## Changes

**S1: one `ResponseHeader` per response.** The generated response
constructors already create a default `ResponseHeader`; the services
replaced it with the one `ServerBase.CreateResponse` allocated. The
services that construct their response now offer its default header, and
the base `CreateResponse(RequestHeader, StringTable)` fills it. The
offer goes through a field of the thread, so the protected virtual keeps
its signature: an override that does not call the base returns its own
header as before, and a re-entrant call never gets the outer offer. The
services that receive their response from the subscription manager keep
the previous path. The third `ResponseHeader` in the profile is the
generated `Reuse()` resetting the response after it was sent. It stays:
`LeasedPublishResponse` releases its notification lease there, and the
reset is generated code.

**S2: a single-node Read without collections.**
- The dispatcher fills arrays instead of lists that were copied into the
response (the node managers fill them by index), and allocates the
operation diagnostics only for the first one.
- `AsyncCustomNodeManager.ReadAsync` creates its per-request node cache
only for a request with several nodes, or when a node must be validated.
- The permission check already resolves every node through
`GetManagerHandleAsync`, whose handle "does not require the NodeId to be
validated again". The Read service passes that handle on in
`ReadValueId.Handle` when it is an in-memory node of an
`AsyncCustomNodeManager` that was validated when it was returned, and
the node manager reads through it instead of looking the node up and
allocating a second handle. A handle passed on for an earlier read of
the same `ReadValueId` is cleared.
- The permission check without an attribute cache reads the three
permission attributes into arrays of the thread.

**S3: no copy of empty arrays.** `Variant.Copy` deep-copies arrays of
ExtensionObjects, DataValues and Variants because the caller can change
their elements. An empty array has no element to change but was copied
into a new boxed empty array. The Read service copies the namespace's
DefaultRolePermissions and DefaultUserRolePermissions on every
permission check (the variables' `CopyOnRead` policy); they are empty
unless roles are configured. `TryGetStructure` of an empty array returns
the empty array instead of a new one. Non-empty arrays, scalars and
matrices are copied as before.

**S4: one `SecureChannelContext` per channel token.**
`TcpTransportListener.OnRequestReceived` created a context per request,
although it only holds values that stay the same for the life of a
token. The channel keeps the last context with the values it was created
from and returns it while they are the same references; a renewed token
(new thumbprint, rotated certificate) or a transport reconnected to the
channel gets a new one. The isolation provider (#4787) and the session
binding check compare contexts by value.

**S5: fewer bookkeeping objects per request.**
- A request inside its service dispatch scope, which is every request
the server dispatches, needs no `RequestExecutionScope`: its
`OperationContext` completes the request itself, exactly once, when it
is disposed.
- `FairRequestQueue.TryEnqueue` owns the unpublished entry in a local
instead of a `PendingAdmission` wrapper, and registers the entry's
cancellation with a static callback instead of a delegate per request.
- `DequeueAsync` pools its state machine on .NET.

**S6: fewer codec objects per message.** Encoding a message is
synchronous, so a thread encodes one message at a time. The decoder and
the encoder stay immutable: every message gets new ones (see the
review).
- `EncodeSymmetricMessage` writes the body to the `ArraySegmentStream`
of the thread, reset per message, through a new `BinaryEncoder` that
borrows the `BinaryWriter` the thread keeps over that stream (closing or
disposing such an encoder flushes the writer but leaves it and the
stream open). The stream is given back once it handed its buffers over;
a body that fails to encode releases the stream's buffers, and the
stream is not reused. The stream is per thread, not per channel: since
#4782 the producers encode the responses of a channel concurrently and
only sealing runs in the writer.
- A response (client) in one chunk is decoded from that chunk's buffer,
as the server decodes requests; the client used a stream over the chunk
list for every response.
- A `BinaryDecoder` over a buffer creates its `MemoryStream` and
`BinaryReader` only when `BaseStream` exposes the stream, and reports
`Position` without exposing it. `DecodeMessage` reads `Position`, which
exposed the stream for every message and made every later read
synchronize its position with it.
- `ArraySegmentStream.GetBuffers` hands over the stream's own collection
instead of copying it; a message in one chunk is reassembled into a
collection sized for one.

### Not done

- **Skipping the reset of a sent response** (the third
`ResponseHeader`): `LeasedPublishResponse` releases its notification
lease in `Reuse()`.
- **Pooling `RequestLifetime`, `OperationContext` and
`EndpointIncomingRequest`:** they leave the stack. `RequestLifetime` is
public and handed to every service handler, and its token to node
managers. `EndpointIncomingRequest` is handed to the overridable
`ScheduleIncomingRequest`.
- **Pooling the fair queue `Entry`:** its cancellation registration and
the stop path can still reach it after it was released.
- **A struct token for the isolation lease:** leases are returned as
`IDisposable` through `IServerResourceIsolationProvider.TryAcquire`.
- **Reading the permission defaults without a copy when roles are
configured:** not measurable with the o6 server, which configures none.

## Behaviour notes

- **S1:** an override of `ServerBase.CreateResponse(RequestHeader,
StringTable)` that calls the base gets the response's default header
instead of a new one, the header the response carried anyway.
- **S2:**
- The node managers receive the Read result lists as arrays (`IList<T>`,
fixed size). The lists were pre-filled per item; adding to them was
never part of the contract.
- `ReadValueId.Handle` of a Read request holds the passed-on
`NodeHandle` during the call.
- **S4:** the requests of one token share one `SecureChannelContext`.
`UpstreamIdentity` has a public setter; the TCP transport never sets it,
but application code that set it on the context of a TCP request would
now change it for the token's later requests as well.
- **S6:**
- Each thread that encodes channel messages keeps one stream and writer
(a few hundred bytes), with a reference to the buffer manager of the
last channel it served.
- `BinaryDecoder.Position` of a buffer decoder no longer exposes
`BaseStream`.

## Testing

- **New tests:**
- S1, `StandardServerResponseStringTableTests` and
`ReferenceServerTests`:
- the offered header is filled with every field (timestamp, request
handle, service result, no diagnostics, string table);
    - an override without the base keeps its own header;
    - an override with the base fills the offered one;
    - a re-entrant response never shares it;
    - Read, Write and Browse responses keep every header field;
    - a failed Read throws its status.
- S2, `AsyncCustomNodeManagerTests.ReadRouting` (all three node manager
fixtures):
- a single-node read uses the handle of the validation and returns what
a multi-node read returns;
- a handle passed on for an earlier read is not reused (another node,
removed node, no session);
- operation diagnostics keep one entry per node and are absent when not
requested.
- S3, `VariantCoverageTests`: empty arrays of each kind are shared; a
null array stays null; `TryGetStructure` of an empty, a null and a
one-element array.
- S4, `TcpListenerChannelTests`: the context is shared until the
thumbprint or the transport changes.
  - S5, `RequestManagerTests`:
- an attached request completes once, however often its context is
disposed;
    - the ambient request id is restored outside a dispatch scope;
- a stress test of attach, double dispose from two threads, cancellation
and drains.
  - S6:
- `BinaryEncoderTests`: encoders borrowing one writer encode like new
encoders, and leave the writer and the stream open; null arguments;
- `BinaryDecoderTests`: `BaseStream` and `Position` of a buffer decoder;
range checks;
- `ArraySegmentStreamTests`: `GetBuffers` hands over and the stream
continues; a read stream still returns a copy; `Reset` and
`ReleaseBuffers`.
- **Run locally (net10.0, all pass):** Opc.Ua.Types.Tests,
Opc.Ua.Core.Tests, Opc.Ua.Core.Encoders.Tests, Opc.Ua.Server.Tests,
Opc.Ua.Client.Tests, Opc.Ua.Sessions.Tests, Opc.Ua.Subscriptions.Tests,
Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests, Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Client.Tests,
Opc.Ua.Stress.Tests Contract + Integration. net48 builds.
- **Measured with:** `perf/ServerLoadHarness` scenarios `o6read` (o6
harness, not part of this PR), `read`, `browse`, `sub`.
