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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## 3. Analyzer numbering

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Note for the reviewer

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

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

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

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

Closes #4187.

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

## The finding that changed the approach

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

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

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

## Measurement

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

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

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

**`ISession` is 38 → 32 members.**

## Commits

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

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

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

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

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

Two latent bugs fell out of typing it:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Tests

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

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

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

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

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

## Docs

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

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

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

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

## Reviewer questions

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

Marc Schier 9375a2431b Retire the IServerInternal bind mutators and freeze the bind phase (#4197)
## Stacked on #4193

Base is `marcschier/server-context`, which is itself based on #4188.
**Review #4188 and
#4193 first.** GitHub retargets each base automatically as the stack
merges.

Closes #4184.

## What this does

`IServerInternal` published twelve `Set*` binding methods plus
`CreateServerObjectAsync`,
so any holder of the interface could rewire a running server. This takes
them off the
interface and makes a late bind fail loudly.

## The audit changed the shape of the work

The plan this came from said "design a frozen bind phase". **One already
exists.**
`StandardServer` has a seventeen-method `Create*` factory seam, and
`DependencyInjectionStandardServer` overrides seven of those to resolve
from the container:

```csharp
protected override IRoleManager CreateRoleManager(IServerInternal server, ApplicationConfiguration configuration)
    => m_services.GetService<IRoleManager>() ?? base.CreateRoleManager(server, configuration);
```

`StandardServer` then carries each factory result into the datastore:

```csharp
ServerInternal.SetRoleManager(CreateRoleManager(m_serverInternal, configuration));
```

So an integrator already had two supported routes — override the
virtual, or register in
DI. `Set*` on the interface was a **third route that bypassed the
ordering**, and the only
one that let a caller rebind a running server.

The job was therefore to stop publishing plumbing, not to build a phase.

## Measurement

Every call site of the twelve mutators plus `CreateServerObjectAsync`:

| Area | Count | Where |
|---|---:|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Server` | **11** | `StandardServer.cs:3729–3844`, one
contiguous block |
| samples | **1** | `ReferenceServer.cs:219`, inside a
`CreateMasterNodeManager` override |
| tests | 20 | `ServerInternalDataTests` (18), `SubscriptionTests` (2) —
**all on the concrete `ServerInternalData`** |

`SetIdentityRegistry` had **zero** call sites anywhere.

The earlier estimate for this work was 268 files. That number counted
files *referencing*
`IServerInternal`, which this change never touches: the interface
survives and only the
mutators move off it.

## Commits

### `e719a88a` Add the missing `CreateUserManagement` factory seam

The one gap, and the reason this had to land first. User management was
the only subsystem
with **no factory seam** — the only way to populate
`IServerInternal.UserManagement` was
`SetUserManagement`, which is what `ReferenceServer` called from inside
a
`CreateMasterNodeManager` override. Removing the mutator without a
replacement would have
broken that scenario with no migration path.

The DI path at `OpcUaServerBuilderExtensions.cs:1178` builds a
`UserNamePasswordAuthenticator` from a registered `IUserManagement` — a
different thing
entirely that never reaches the Part 18 §5 model on the address space.

Purely additive. `ReferenceServer` moves onto the override.

The test covers the **override** seam rather than the DI seam
deliberately: registering an
`IUserManagement` in the container also switches on the
username/password authenticator, so
a DI-based test exercises two unrelated paths and fails for reasons
unrelated to binding.

### `cbcfda47` Remove `SetIdentityRegistry`

Zero call sites, despite a doc comment advertising it as the integrator
seam. The supported
route has always been
`ServerIdentityRegistryExtensions.RegisterDefaultAuthenticators`,
which *adds* authenticators to the default registry rather than
replacing it.
`IdentityRegistry` is read five times outside `Opc.Ua.Server`, so the
default is what every
consumer already uses.

**The analyzer confirmed the reading**: with the setter gone, `RCS1170`
fired on the
property — it is provably never reassigned after construction, so it is
now read-only.

### `ea0937a2` Take the bind mutators off `IServerInternal`

The mutators stay `public` on `ServerInternalData`, which owns the
state. Only the interface
loses them. The eleven call sites switch from the `ServerInternal`
property to the
`m_serverInternal` field, already typed `ServerInternalData?` — the same
one-token change
`GetStatus` and `EnterState` took in #4193.

**No test changed.** All twenty test call sites already used the
concrete type, which is the
clearest evidence these were never interface-level API.

`CS1574` found six doc comments across `IRoleManager`, `RoleManager`,
`IUserManagement`,
`UserManagement`, `IServerInternal` and `SessionManager` that pointed
integrators at the
mutators. They now point at the factory seam.

### `f3c4b9d3` Refuse to bind after the server has started

Each bind goes through a guard; `StandardServer` closes the phase once
the session manager
is in place. A late `Set*` throws
`ServiceResultException(BadInvalidState)` **naming the
operation** and pointing at the factory seam — otherwise the failure is
indistinguishable
from a configuration problem.

Rebinding *during* startup stays legal, which is what let both audit
hazards resolve with no
behaviour change:

- **`SetNodeManager` also binds three more managers**
(`DiagnosticsNodeManager`,
`ConfigurationNodeManager`, `CoreNodeManager`). Intentional — they are
reached through the
master node manager and have no independent lifetime — and now
documented rather than
  silent.
- **`SetSessionManager` unhooks the previous manager's handlers**, which
reads as
written-for-repeat-calls. Nothing rebinds it, but the freeze does not
make the path dead
either, since binding twice during startup is still allowed. Left as-is;
removing it is a
  separate question.

## Tests

Four new tests on the freeze: the refusal itself across four
representative mutators, that
the message names the operation, that rebinding stays legal until the
phase closes, and that
closing twice is harmless. Plus one hosted-server test for the
`CreateUserManagement` seam.

| Suite | net10.0 | net48 |
|---|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 4033 passed, 1 failed | 230 passed, 1 failed
(filtered) |
| `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` | 573 passed | — |
| `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes.Tests` | 97 passed | n/a (net8/net10
only) |

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

## Docs

`docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains a table mapping every removed mutator to
the `Create*`
override and the DI registration that replace it, plus the
`SetIdentityRegistry` removal
with its rationale.

## Net effect across #4193 and this PR

`IServerInternal` goes from ~460 lines to **~200**. It no longer
publishes locks, dead
members, or the ability to rewire a running server.

## Reviewer questions

- `CompleteBindPhase()` is public on `ServerInternalData` but
deliberately **not** on
`IServerInternal` — only the server owning the startup sequence should
decide when binding
  is over. Reasonable, or should it be `internal`?
- `SetSessionManager`'s unhook path is now unreachable in practice but
still legal during
startup. Leave it, or remove it and assert single-bind for that one
subsystem?

Marc Schier 4e0b82af5f Add IServerContext and move server startup tasks onto it (#4193)
## Stacked on #4188

Base is `marcschier/server-seam-analysis`, not `master`.
`IServerInternal.cs` and
`ServerInternalData.cs` both diverge from master on that branch (chunk
4c removed the two
`object` locks), so branching off master would conflict on both files
*and* design
`IServerContext` against a stale interface. GitHub retargets the base to
`master`
automatically when #4188 merges. **Review #4188 first.**

Closes part of #4184.

## What this does

`IServerInternal` is a service locator: 56 members, 30-odd of which hand
out one of 20+
subsystems. A component that only needs to observe the server and act on
it has to take the
whole thing, and no signature tells a reader which parts a component
actually touches.

This adds `IServerContext` — the ambient view of a running server — and
moves
`IServerStartupTask` onto it.

```csharp
public interface IServerContext
{
    ServerState CurrentState { get; }
    ServerObjectState ServerObject { get; }
    IServiceMessageContext MessageContext { get; }
    ServerSystemContext DefaultSystemContext { get; }

    ServerSystemContext CreateSystemContext(ISession session);
    T? FindPredefinedNode<T>(NodeId nodeId) where T : NodeState;
    IEnumerable<T> FindNodeManagers<T>() where T : class;

    ValueTask ReportEventAsync(IFilterTarget e, CancellationToken ct = default);
    ValueTask CloseSessionAsync(OperationContext context, NodeId sessionId,
        bool deleteSubscriptions, CancellationToken ct = default);
    ValueTask DeleteSubscriptionAsync(uint subscriptionId, CancellationToken ct = default);

    void UpdateServerDiagnostics(Action<ServerDiagnosticsSummaryDataType> update);
}
```

Nothing on it returns a subsystem. A component that needs one takes it
as a constructor
dependency, which states the requirement instead of hiding it behind an
ambient handle.

`IServerInternal : IServerContext`, so every existing handle already
satisfies the new seam
and consumers migrate one at a time.

## The member set was measured, not guessed

Every member of `IServerInternal` was counted by read site across `src`,
`samples` and
`tests`, split by area. `Ext` is non-test production consumers, which is
what decides
whether something belongs on an ambient interface.

| Member | InServer | OtherSrc | Sample | Test | **Ext** | On
`ISystemContext`? |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---|
| `NamespaceUris` | 63 | 50 | 34 | 131 | **84** | yes |
| `Telemetry` | 58 | 23 | 35 | 5 | **58** | yes |
| `MessageContext` | 2 | 8 | 7 | 11 | **15** | no |
| `TypeTree` | 42 | 3 | 11 | 10 | **14** | yes, as `TypeTable` |
| `NodeManager` | 66 | 7 | 6 | 74 | **13** | no |
| `DefaultSystemContext` | 21 | 4 | 1 | 7 | **5** | no |
| `IdentityRegistry` | 1 | 4 | 1 | 1 | **5** | no |
| `SubscriptionManager` | 23 | 0 | 0 | 17 | **0** | no |
| `SessionManager` | 21 | 0 | 0 | 15 | **0** | no |
| `RequestManager` | 10 | 0 | 0 | 23 | **0** | no |
| `AggregateManager` | 12 | 0 | 0 | 2 | **0** | no |
| `ModellingRulesManager`, `ConformanceUnitsManager`,
`DiagnosticsEnabled` | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **0** | no |

Two things fall out. The highest-traffic members are already carried by
`ISystemContext`,
which `ServerSystemContext` copies off the server at construction — so
most of those 278
`NamespaceUris` reads are callers reaching through the server for
something they already
hold. And the subsystems with zero external demand are exactly the ones
that should be
injected rather than published.

The check that matters: the eight `IServerStartupTask` implementations
in
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server` are the heaviest real consumer of the ambient
handle, and
between them they touch **eight distinct members**. That is the shape
the interface is cut
to.

## Commits

### `e4a912eb` Remove seven unused members from `IServerInternal`

The deletion test, applied before anything is designed against the
interface.

| Removed | Evidence |
|---|---|
| `CloseSession(OperationContext, NodeId, bool)` | zero call sites;
sync-over-async; already obsolete |
| `ReadServerDiagnostics<TResult>` | zero production sites — **added one
commit earlier in #4188 for symmetry and never called** |
| `ModellingRulesManager` | property never read; `ServerInternalData`
owns the lifetime |
| `ConformanceUnitsManager` | same |
| `DiagnosticsEnabled` | façade over
`IDiagnosticsNodeManager.DiagnosticsEnabled`, which is what callers use
|
| `Status` | one site, itself inside an obsolete method |
| `ServerDiagnostics` | only reachable through the diagnostics methods
that replaced it |

`EndpointAddresses` was kept — `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests` uses it to resolve an
endpoint URL. Thin,
but real.

The only build fallout was three lines in one test assembly.
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server`,
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes`, `Opc.Ua.Gds.Server.Common`,
`Opc.Ua.WotCon.Server`,
`Opc.Ua.PubSub.Server`, `Opc.Ua.Di.Server`, `ConsoleReferenceServer` and
`Quickstarts.Servers` all built untouched. That is the evidence the
members were dead.

### `ffcc80b9` Add `IServerContext`

Additive. `ServerInternalData` implements it; no caller changes.

### `e8c4e15f` Hand startup tasks `IServerContext`

Nine implementations, `OpcUaServerHostedService`, and the test call
sites.

### `1b4de97a` Drop the `IServerStartupTask` migration-guide section

Review feedback. `IServerStartupTask` does not exist in `master378`, so
it is a 2.0-only
concept and nobody migrating from 1.5.378 can own an implementation of
it. The **Removed
members on `IServerInternal`** section stays - those members *are* in
master378 - and is now
self-contained.

### `2ab7d689` Merge `marcschier/server-seam-analysis`

Picks up the base branch including its merge of master. Textually clean,
no conflicts.

### `6a650f12` Migrate `RobotIntentHostStartupTask` to `IServerContext`

The merge was textually clean but **semantically broken**: master's
Robot Intent feature
(#4165) added a tenth `IServerStartupTask` implementation written
against the old
`IServerInternal` signature, so it no longer satisfied the interface.
Its body walked
`server.NodeManager.AsyncNodeManagers` and type-tested each entry for
`RobotIntentNodeManager` - exactly the pattern `FindNodeManagers<T>()`
replaces - so it
migrated the same way as the other nine. `FindNodeManagers` also
searches the synchronous
registry and de-dupes by reference, so a manager registered on both
faces still starts its
intent controller hosts exactly once.

## Three findings from migrating real consumers

**`MessageContext` is not derivable.** The design had callers use
`DefaultSystemContext.AsMessageContext()`, on the reasoning that a
message context can be
built from a system context. It can't: that conversion carries the
namespace tables and the
factory but **not** `MaxStringLength`, `MaxArrayLength` or
`MaxByteStringLength`. Four
replication paths in `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server` would have silently
fallen back to default
decoding limits — a component quietly accepting more than the server is
configured to. It
is a real member, and the interface documents why.

**`new`-shadowed members split the mock surface.** `IServerInternal`
first redeclared
`DefaultSystemContext` with a narrower type and `CurrentState` with a
setter. That
compiles, but a shadowed member is a *second interface slot*: production
code calling
through `IServerContext` read a slot that every existing
`Mock<IServerInternal>` leaves
unstubbed. Seventeen tests went from passing to `NullReferenceException`
**while still
compiling**. The narrower typing bought no encapsulation anyway — the
object really is a
`ServerSystemContext` and any caller can cast — so both shadows are
gone. `CurrentState` is
read-only on the ambient interface and the one site that assigns it uses
the concrete type,
as `GetStatus` already does.

**`IServiceProvider` is deliberately *not* on `OnServerStartedAsync`.**
The plan sketched
it. All nine implementations already receive their dependencies through
their constructors
from the builder extensions, so a container on the callback would have
replaced one service
locator with another.

## `FindNodeManagers<T>`

Two tasks walked `server.NodeManager.NodeManagers` and type-tested each
entry for
`ILocalAddressSpaceSource`; two more reached for a specific manager to
cast it to a
capability. Asking for the capability says what the caller wants; asking
for the registry
says how to find it.

```csharp
// before
foreach (INodeManager nodeManager in server.NodeManager.NodeManagers)
{
    if (nodeManager is not ILocalAddressSpaceSource source) { continue; }
    ...
}

// after
foreach (ILocalAddressSpaceSource source in server.FindNodeManagers<ILocalAddressSpaceSource>())
{
    ...
}
```

It searches both the asynchronous and synchronous registries:
`ToSyncNodeManager()` returns
`this` when a manager already implements `INodeManager`, so the two
lists overlap and a
capability may sit on either face.

## Tests

Mock harnesses are **wired, not stubbed** — they return the node
managers and contexts the
tests already build, so the tests keep asserting against real behaviour
rather than against
a mock that returns whatever is convenient. Four new tests cover
`CreateSystemContext`
(identity/locale propagation, null guard), the explicit
`DefaultSystemContext` identity,
and `FindPredefinedNode` before the address space is bound.

| Suite | net10.0 | net48 |
|---|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` | 573 passed | 573 passed |
| `Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes.Tests` | 97 passed | n/a (net8/net10
only) |
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 4028 passed, 1 failed | 225 passed, 1 failed
(filtered) |

The single failure is
`ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`,
a local certificate-store problem. Verified it reproduces unchanged at
HEAD with these
changes stashed — it is not caused by this PR.

All twelve dependent assemblies and samples build clean on both TFMs,
zero warnings.

### Re-verified after the base merge (`6a650f12`)

`Opc.Ua.Server`, `Redundancy.Server`, `Redundancy.Kubernetes`,
`Robotics.Server`,
`WotCon.Server`, `Di.Server`, `PubSub.Server`, `Gds.Server.Common` and
`XRegistry.Server` all build clean on net10.0. `Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests`
491 passed,
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Server.Tests` 573 passed,
`Opc.Ua.Redundancy.Kubernetes.Tests` 97 passed.

### CI status: 119 passed, 3 failed - none caused by this PR

| Failing job | Why it is not this PR |
|---|---|
| `SourceGeneration_Core_Tests_windows` (net48) |
`GenerateAndCompileDesignFileAsync(..., CSharp11, ...)` fails with
`CS9058: Feature 'Lock object' is not available in C# 11.0` because
generated `Opc.Ua.NodeStates.g.cs` emits `System.Threading.Lock`.
**Identical failure on base #4188 (build 16737)**, which contains none
of these commits. This PR touches no source-generation file. |
| `SourceGeneration_Core_Tests_windows` (net10.0) | Same root cause;
also failing on base #4188. |
| `PubSub_Eth_Tests_windows` (net48) | Agent DNS outage:
`NuGetToolInstaller` died with `ERR:getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND
dist.nuget.org`. The job aborted before restore/build, so **the test
step never executed**. Infra flake; needs a re-run, not a code change. |

Both `SourceGeneration.Core` failures belong to the base branch and
should be fixed there
rather than papered over here.

## Correction to the recorded plan

Chunk 7 (the frozen bind phase) was recorded as the largest mechanical
footprint remaining
and the one most likely to stall. It isn't: **each of the 12 `Set*`
mutators has exactly one
call site**, in the `StandardServer` wiring, plus one sample. It is a
~13 call-site change.
The 268-file figure that produced that assessment counted files
*referencing*
`IServerInternal`, which chunk 7 never has to touch, because the
interface survives and only
the mutators move off it.

## Docs

`docs/MigrationGuide.md` gains one section: the removed
`IServerInternal` members with their
replacements, plus the note that `MessageContext`,
`DefaultSystemContext`, `CurrentState`,
`ServerObject`, `ReportEventAsync`, `CloseSessionAsync`,
`DeleteSubscriptionAsync` and
`UpdateServerDiagnostics` moved *down* to `IServerContext` and stay
reachable through
`IServerInternal` unchanged, so no call site has to move.

An earlier revision also documented the `IServerStartupTask` signature
change there. That
was dropped after review (1b4de97a4): `IServerStartupTask` does not
exist in `master378`, so
it is a 2.0-only concept and nobody migrating from 1.5.378 can own an
implementation of it.
The rationale for the ambient view - including the `AsMessageContext()`
decoding-limit trap -
lives on the `IServerContext` and `IServerStartupTask` XML docs instead,
which is where a
2.0-only concept belongs.

## Reviewer questions

- `IServerContext` is 11 members, not the 9 the design targeted.
`MessageContext` and
`FindNodeManagers<T>` were added because migrating real consumers showed
the alternatives
were wrong (silent decoding-limit loss) or a pass-through
(`NodeManager.NodeManagers` plus
  a type test at every call site). Reasonable?
- `IServerInternal : IServerContext` keeps the fat interface alive on
purpose — it is what
makes this a signature change rather than a 268-file rewrite. It only
shrinks once the DI
migration lands. The 6a deletions are unconditional, so even a full
stall leaves it seven
  members smaller.

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

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

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

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

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

## The analyses

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

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

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

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

## The design exploration

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

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

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

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

## Implementation: NodeState now guards its own attributes

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

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

### No lock is exposed anywhere, to anyone

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

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

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

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

### Migration coverage for the removed lock members

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

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

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

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

### The tests earned their keep

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

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

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

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

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

## Two corrections to my own published figures

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

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

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

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

## Caveats stated in the documents

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

## Review guidance

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

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

Marc Schier 0612a43fe4 Pluggable cryptography and hardware-held private keys (#4192)
Makes the stack's cryptographic operations replaceable - by another library, an offboard service, or hardware (TPM 2.0 / HSM / PKCS#11 token / cloud KMS) - with no performance cost in the default configuration, and extends this to certificates so a private key need never exist in process memory.

Also fixes three pre-existing defects found while validating: STACKGEN001 erroring for every compilation the stack generator was merely loaded into, certificates failing to load from paths past MAX_PATH on Windows, and the MonitoredNode2 tests starving the thread pool.

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

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

## What changed in the specifications

Two revisions landed upstream while #4128 was in flight.

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

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

## Projections (WoT Binding Section 12)

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

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

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

### How this is validated

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

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

## Other spec work

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

## Gaps found by re-auditing against draft3

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

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

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

## Two ambiguities fixed in the specifications themselves

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

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

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

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

## Validation

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

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

## Compatibility

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

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

## Landed since this PR was opened

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

## Status

Open for review. Two things may still move:

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

Two known items are recorded rather than fixed:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

### Coverage checks now exist in GitHub Actions

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

### Reporting the numbers

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

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

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

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

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

## Notable correctness details

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

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

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

Flipping `CI_BUILD_BACKEND` to `actions` started exercising the ubuntu
matrix, which
`master` never runs, and it immediately surfaced two real defects.

**1. The test host hung for ten minutes.** `Assert.ThrowsAsync` blocks
the calling thread
with no timeout, and these tests drive a *fake clock* from that same
thread — so once the
reconnect parked on a fake-clock timer, nothing could ever advance it.
NUnit sat in
`WaitForCompletion` until `--blame-hang-timeout` killed the host,
aborting the run at 3902
of 4238 tests and taking every other test in the assembly down with it.
A hang dump named
the culprit exactly. Replaced with an awaited, bounded
`AssertThrowsAsync` helper (the
repo's own rules forbid sync over async). The run now completes in
**~1m29s** with all
tests executed.

**2. A budget-aware reconnect never returned.** With the hang gone, two
tests failed with
`Expected ServiceResultException but got TimeoutException`. `dumpasync`
on a hang dump gave
the whole chain:

```
ReconnectAsyncWithBudgetShrinksDelayToFitRemainingAsync
  → AssertThrowsAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.ReconnectAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.ReconnectLeaseAsync
  → ClientChannelManager.SwapFaultedEntryAsync   ← parked here
```

`master` (via #4128) added `IsTerminalReconnectRace` so a reconnect that
loses a race
against a concurrent close recovers on a freshly swapped entry. The
predicate only asks
whether the entry ended up `Closed`/`Faulted` with
`BadSecureChannelClosed` — which is
*also* exactly how a reconnect ends when the caller's retry budget or
the reconnect policy
is deliberately exhausted. So a budget-exhausted reconnect was misread
as a race: the
manager swapped the entry and started a **second, unbudgeted** cycle,
waiting out the swap
back-off first. `ReconnectAsync(channel, budget)` therefore could not
return within its
budget, and under a fake clock it never returned at all.

The fix requires the budget to have room left before treating a terminal
failure as a race:

```csharp
return !ct.IsCancellationRequested &&
    !budget.IsExhausted &&
    sre.StatusCode == StatusCodes.BadSecureChannelClosed &&
    entry.State is ChannelState.Closed or ChannelState.Faulted;
```

The parameterless `ReconnectAsync(channel, ct)` overload passes an
unlimited budget, so
genuine race recovery is unchanged. Verified locally: Core 4152, Client
2122 and Sessions
776 tests all pass, and the full GitHub Actions PR run is green across
56 jobs.

Two smaller fixes came along the way, neither weakening an assertion:

- `ObservableFakeTimeProvider` waiters made **relative** ("N more timers
from now") rather
than absolute ("the Nth timer of the run"). Absolute numbering let an
earlier reconnect
consume the slots, so a waiter completed before the awaited timer
existed and `Advance()`
  fired nothing.
- The raw worker thread in `NodeStateHandlerConcurrencyTests` was a
**foreground** thread
whose stop flag was read without a barrier and set only on the success
path — a failed
assertion leaked a spinning thread that pins the process at exit. Now
background,
  `Volatile`, stopped in a `finally`, joined with a bound.
## Background work now has an owner

The reconnect hang above was one symptom of a pattern the codebase had
**26 times** across seven assemblies: a bare `_ = Task.Run(...)`. Each
one handed work to the thread pool and forgot it — nothing observed the
exception if it threw, nothing bounded how many ran at once, and
disposal raced them, so a component could finish tearing itself down
while work it started was still touching its fields. Two of those sites
already carried a standing `// TODO: Await the task completion in
shutdown`.

`BackgroundTaskScope` (in `Opc.Ua.Types`) gives them an owner: schedule
with `Run`, drain with `DisposeAsync`, or signal-only with `Dispose`
where the owner's teardown is synchronous and awaiting would be sync
over async. `Run` never blocks and never throws — which matters, because
most of these call sites went to the thread pool precisely to escape a
lock they were holding. 11 unit tests cover drain, cancellation,
exception observation, the concurrency cap, post-shutdown rejection and
idempotent disposal.

Two of the fixes were more than re-wiring:

- **`SessionManager` / `SubscriptionManager` loops were structurally
unawaitable.** Both return `ValueTask`, so `Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
...)` handed back a `Task<ValueTask>` that completes at the first yield.
Storing it would not have helped — awaiting it would only have awaited
the *scheduling*. Both now go through `AsTask().Unwrap()`, matching the
neighbouring `StartConditionRefreshWorker`.
- **`ChannelAsyncOperation` was swallowing subscriber exceptions.** Its
`doNotBlock` branch had no try/catch while the inline branch beside it
did. It is per-operation with no owner to hang a drain on, so it gained
the missing handler rather than a scope.

The Kubernetes readiness endpoint keeps a purpose-built semaphore
instead: an unauthenticated endpoint needs a hard cap on concurrent
handlers, not just an owner.

### ⚠️ Breaking: `ISessionManager.Shutdown()` is removed

Replaced by `ShutdownAsync(CancellationToken)`. There is no correct
synchronous way to wait for the session monitor loop, so leaving the
overload would only have preserved the race. This mirrors
`ISubscriptionManager`, which already had `ShutdownAsync`. Migration
notes are in `docs/MigrationGuide.md`; only one in-repo implementer
existed.

Also converted the injected `object partitionLock` shared by
`LogicalSubscription` and `CompositeMonitoredItemCollection` to
`System.Threading.Lock`, per the repo rule.

## Patch coverage now scales with the size of the patch

A flat floor over changed lines punishes small changes for arithmetic:
two uncovered lines in a four-line fix reads as 50 % and failed an 80/5
floor — which is exactly how this branch earned a red coverage check for
a four-line predicate change. A check that fires on changes nobody
considers undertested is one people learn to ignore.

| Coverable changed lines | Floor | Below it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 – 10 | 50 % | warning, still passes |
| 11 – 100 | 60 % | warning, still passes |
| more than 100 | 75 % | **failure** |

Only changes past the last band can fail. Below it the author still gets
a warning naming the uncovered lines. Bands live in `patch.bands` in
`coverage-thresholds.json` and each carries its own `enforced` flag.
Verified end-to-end against synthetic repositories at every boundary.

## Codecov is back, as reporting

Dropped in #4122 when the in-pipeline gate replaced it. Keeping the gate
was right, but dropping Codecov also lost the PR comment, the
file-by-file diff view and the trend. It returns with both statuses
`informational: true` — two gates with two sets of thresholds would
eventually disagree, and `coverage-thresholds.json` stays the single
source of truth.

The upload is switchable and can never fail a build: `enableCodecov`
(Azure) and `ENABLE_CODECOV` (Actions), both defaulting on, both skipped
when `CODECOV_TOKEN` is absent as on fork PRs. Each system uploads the
single merged report it already builds, under its own flag. The old
`codecov.io/bash` uploader was sunset, so Azure uses the current CLI.

## Follow-up actions for maintainers

1. **Update the branch ruleset.** The per-leg `Coverage Release (…)`
checks are gone. Azure reports checks as `<pipeline> (<stage> <job>)`,
so the exact names are:

   | Check | Require? |
   | --- | --- |
| `OPCFoundation.UA-.NETStandard (Tests passed Verify stage results)` |
**yes** |
   | `build-and-test summary` | **yes** (already required) |
| `OPCFoundation.UA-.NETStandard (Code coverage Merge and evaluate)` |
no |
   | `code coverage` | no |
2. **Re-calibrate the thresholds.** `coverage-thresholds.json` is still
seeded from the last Codecov reading (73.61 %). The two systems now
report *different* numbers by design — Actions merges every project on
ubuntu, Azure only the Windows fast-PR legs, and scheduled runs read
higher still because the Debug / .NET 8 / .NET 9 / netstandard stages
also contribute. Re-seed from the GitHub Actions figure.
3. **Note:** a failed advisory coverage stage still turns the whole
Azure run red, which the README build badge reflects on `master`. That
follows from wanting a visible red X on a threshold miss; say the word
if you would rather it were a warning.
4. **The Azure agent pool is the slowest thing here.** Several runs on
this PR sat queued for hours, and one build failed with `Insufficient
system resources` while writing an XML doc file — an agent exhaustion
error, not a code error. It passed on re-run. Worth raising against the
`netstandard` Managed DevOps Pool capacity separately.

- No product code changed, so there are no unit tests to add. The new
logic was verified with purpose-built harnesses instead:
- `check-coverage.ps1` run for real against a merged Cobertura report on
all three paths — pass, threshold failure, and patch coverage with
uncovered changed lines (a scratch commit adding an uncovered method was
correctly resolved to `DataTypeException.cs:193`, reported 0 % patch
coverage and exited 1).
- The gate's accept/reject logic dry-run over `Succeeded` /
`SucceededWithIssues` / `Skipped` / empty / `Failed` / `Canceled` — 6/6
correct.
- `get-matrix.ps1` exit codes verified in clean processes: empty → 1,
normal → 0, `-AllowEmpty` → 0.
- All five pipeline/workflow files parse; both PowerShell scripts parse.
- Action versions checked against the GitHub API and pinned to current
majors.
- [x] I have added all necessary documentation.
- Rewrote the coverage section of `docs/DeveloperGuide.md` as *Required
checks and coverage*, covering which checks belong in the ruleset and
which must not, how coverage is measured, where the numbers appear, and
why the two systems disagree. Corrected the stale "BLOCKS" wording in
`coverage-thresholds.json`.
- [x] I have verified that my changes do not introduce (new) build or
analyzer warnings.
- CI YAML, two PowerShell scripts and documentation only; no compilation
involved.
- [x] I ran **all** tests locally using the **UA.slnx** solution against
at least .net **framework** and .net **10**, and all passed.

was run repeatedly on net10.0 (119 passed) to generate the real
Cobertura fragments used to validate the gate.
- [ ] I fixed **all** failing and flaky tests in the CI pipelines and
**all** CodeQL warnings.
- [x] I have addressed **all** PR feedback received.
- Feedback on the path-relevance diff (now a merge-base diff) and the

Marc Schier 724ae71f8a Make NodeId assignment during a node copy explicit (#4157)
Fixes #4137.

## The problem

`NodeState.Initialize(ISystemContext, NodeState)` copies a node. Every
child it materialises through `CreateChild` gets a per-instance NodeId
from `ISystemContext.NodeIdFactory`, and is then initialised from its
source on the very next statement - which overwrites that NodeId. The
assignment is therefore *always* discarded: it only burns identifiers,
and permanently leaks them for factories that track outstanding
allocations. Booting the Robotics node manager left ten reservations
behind that every later allocation skipped.

#4123 fixed the symptom by hiding the factory for the duration of the
copy, wrapping the context in one that reports `NodeIdFactory` as
`null`. The review objection was fair: a context that lies about one
property is hard to reason about, and it only works because that
property is allowed to be null.

## What this does

States the intent instead of faking the environment. NodeId assignment
is now an argument of the two members that materialise children:

```csharp
public virtual BaseInstanceState? CreateChild(
    ISystemContext context,
    QualifiedName browseName,
    bool assignInstanceNodeIds = true);

protected virtual BaseInstanceState? FindChild(
    ISystemContext context,
    QualifiedName browseName,
    bool createOrReplace,
    BaseInstanceState? replacement,
    bool assignInstanceNodeIds = true);
```

A copy passes `assignInstanceNodeIds: false` and every node type -
generated or hand-written - sees the real context. There is no
capability property, no wrapper, and no second overload to keep in sync.

`MethodState`, `BaseDataVariableState` and the source generator template
each collapse to a single `FindChild` override that threads the argument
into its `CreateOrReplace<Child>` helpers.

## Breaking change

The four argument `FindChild` and the two argument `CreateChild`
virtuals are gone.

- **Call sites are unaffected.** The new parameter defaults to `true`,
so `CreateChild(context, browseName)` and `FindChild(context,
browseName, true, null)` keep compiling and keep the 1.5.378 behaviour.
- **Overrides must add the parameter.** A node manager that overrides
either member gets `CS0115` until it does. The compiler points at every
site; `docs/migrate/2.0.x/node-states.md` shows the before/after.

This is deliberate, per review: the stack ships all base types, and
types generated from a model are regenerated for 2.0 anyway.

## Also fixed

`MethodState.FindChild` returned `OutputArguments` when asked for
`InputArguments` with `createOrReplace: false` - a pre-existing bug in
the method being restructured. Covered by
`FindChildReturnsTheRequestedArgumentsProperty`.

## Validation

- Full `dotnet build UA.slnx`: **0 errors, 0 warnings**.
- `Opc.Ua.Types.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests`,
`Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Tests`, `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests`,
`Opc.Ua.Robotics.Tests` - all passing.
- Each new regression test was checked to fail without its corresponding
fix.

Marc Schier 8a10139b8c Fix OPC UA address-space compliance in the device integration stack (#4117)
# Description

A live OPC UA compliance audit of `samples/PumpDeviceIntegrationServer`
against the **OPC 40223 Pumps** and **OPC 10000-100 (DI)** companion
specifications found **13 address-space violations** plus a
serialization bug in the MCP tool. Every fix lands at its **root cause
in the shared stack** rather than as a workaround in the sample, so all
servers benefit.

The sample now exposes **N fully simulated pumps** (`--pumps N`) and
advertises the DI conformance facets it actually satisfies.

> This branch has been merged with `master` including **#4116** ("Add
simulation to PumpDeviceIntegrationServer and Event modelling"), which
independently reworked the same pump simulation and the same fluent
alarm builders. See [Relationship to #4116](#relationship-to-4116) below
for how the two were reconciled.

## Findings and fixes

| # | Finding | Root cause | Fix |
|---|---------|-----------|-----|
| 1 | `OverTempAlarm` created by the fluent API did not exist in the
address space | `AttachAlarm` attached the alarm with `AddChild` but
never indexed it into the node manager | Register the node; the same gap
existed in `AddObject`, `CreateInstance` and the state-machine creators
|
| 2 | Alarms were unsubscribable — `EventNotifier = 0` everywhere, no
`HasNotifier` from `Server` | No event-source wiring at all | Set
`HasCondition`, initialise
`SourceNode`/`SourceName`/`ConditionName`/`InputNode`, promote
`EventNotifier` up the ancestor chain, publish `HasNotifier` from the
`Server` object |
| 3 | Every instance NodeId was minted in the **DI standard namespace**
(`ns=4;s=5001_Pump #1`) | `DiNodeManager.New` inherited the parent's
namespace index | New `DiNodeManager.InstanceNamespaceIndex`; instances
move to the server's application namespace |
| 4 | `Server/Namespaces` described only 2 of 6 namespaces | The
NodeSet2 importer drops nodes parented to namespace 0, so companion-spec
metadata objects never reached the address space — and no route covered
the server's own namespace | New `NamespaceMetadataPublisher` walks the
`NamespaceArray` and fills version/publication date from
`ModelDependencyAttribute` |
| 5 | Vendor BrowseNames (`Diagnostics`, `LastError`, …) sat in the DI
namespace | Builders defaulted to the parent's namespace | Default to
the server namespace; **spec-defined BrowseNames are unchanged** |
| 6 | `AccessLevel="5"` from the Pumps NodeSet was reported as `1` | The
ModelDesign `AccessLevel` enum is not `[Flags]` and cannot represent
`CurrentRead \| HistoryRead` | Carry the verbatim NodeSet2 bitmask and
emit named `AccessLevels` constants |
| 7 | `Historizing = true` while `HistoryRead` returned
`BadHistoryOperationUnsupported` | Nothing reconciled the declared
history surface with the wired historians | Startup clears the
advertisement (including masking the attribute read callbacks) when no
provider resolves; the sample wires a real historian |
| 8 | Mandatory `ProductInstanceUri` unset | Sample omission | Populated
on every pump |
| 9 | Mandatory `TrueState`/`FalseState` empty on every supervision
boolean | Absent in the official NodeSet; a server must still populate
them | Populated on every pump |
| 10 | Machinery `Machines` folder empty (OPC 40001-1 §9.2 says
**shall**) | `TryAddToMachinesFolder` used `AddChild`, which
*re-parents* the device away from `DeviceSet` | Add the `Organizes`
reference instead |
| 11 | BrowseName contained a space and `#` | Sample naming | `Pump_1`
with the readable label in `DisplayName` |
| 12 | `Maintenance` group materialised but empty | Sample omission |
Populated |
| 13 | Uninitialised values reported `Good` | No initial-value status |
`BadWaitingForInitialData` until the first simulation tick |
| — | `ServerProfileArray` advertised only `StandardUA2017` |
`DiNodeManager` did not implement the existing `IConformanceContributor`
| Contribute DI 1.05 server facets computed at runtime from what is
actually wired, merged with `StandardUA2017` |
| — | MCP tool serialised boolean `false` and numeric `0` as JSON `null`
| `Variant.Null` is `default`, so `Variant.Equals` adopts the non-null
type and compares against the default value | Dispatch on `BuiltInType`
and use typed `TryGetValue` accessors instead of the prohibited
`AsBoxedObject` |

## Relationship to #4116

#4116 landed on `master` while this branch was in flight and targeted
overlapping ground. The merge is a **union of both intents**, not a
fast-forward:

- **`AlarmBuilderExtensions`** — kept both sides. #4116 contributes the
parent-must-be-an-Object guard, `SetEnableState`, and the
`HasEventSource` references; this branch contributes the `HasCondition`
reference, condition source initialisation, **registration of the alarm
with the node manager so it is browsable**, notifier promotion up the
whole ancestor chain, and root-notifier registration.
- **`SupervisionBuilderExtensions`** — took #4116's `SetAlarmActive`. It
is more spec-correct than this branch's version: it honours
`EnabledState`, resets Acked/Confirmed on activation, and computes
`Retain` per OPC 10000-9 so an unacknowledged Condition stays retained
after going inactive. This branch's null guard was kept so a malformed
alarm cannot dereference a missing `EnabledState`.
- **`PumpNodeManager.Configure.cs`** — took #4116's **push-based**
simulation (`RegisterPumpSimulation`, `CreatePumpSimulation`,
`IValueUpdater<T>`, `Initialize`/`Advance`/`Publish`, deterministic
per-pump phase offsets) as the structure, then folded in this branch's
compliance work: configurable pump count, Maintenance group,
`TrueState`/`FalseState`, historian wiring, per-pump mandatory
Identification values, and `BadWaitingForInitialData` until the first
tick.
- **README** — union, keeping #4116's address-space validation workflow
section.

Two test adjustments were needed, both because the merge legitimately
changed behaviour the tests pinned:

- `PumpHostedReferenceTests` now resolves pump NodeIds from the browse
result instead of hard-coding the DI namespace, and waits for the first
published value. `PumpCreatedAfterStartupJoinsTheLiveSimulationAsync`
was **added** to restore #4116's coverage that a pump created after
startup through `ConfigureDevicesFor` joins the live simulation.
- `FluentAlarmRegistrationIntegrationTests` no longer asserts that
`Retain` clears when an alarm goes inactive — that pinned this branch's
weaker semantics, and #4116's Part 9 behaviour is correct.

## Breaking change

Runtime-created DI device instance NodeIds move from the companion-spec
namespace to the server's application namespace, e.g.
`ns=<DI>;s=5001_Pump #1` becomes `ns=<application>;s=5001_Pump #1`. This
invalidates NodeIds cached by clients from earlier 2.0 previews. It is
**not** a model change — standard DI/Machinery/Pumps type NodeIds and
spec-defined BrowseNames are untouched.

Device integration hosting is new in 2.0, so there is nothing to migrate
from 1.5.378 and this is deliberately *not* in `docs/MigrationGuide.md`.
Anyone tracking 2.0 previews should rediscover devices by browsing
`DeviceSet` rather than persisting NodeIds, and resolve namespace
indexes from `NamespaceArray` per connection.

## Verification

Compliance is pinned by regression tests that assert **through the
server's service surface** (`BrowseAsync` / `ReadAsync` /
`HistoryReadAsync`), not by inspecting `NodeState` objects in memory.
That distinction mattered: three defects survived in-memory assertions
and were only caught through the read path — most subtly, `Historizing`
was cleared while `AccessLevel` still advertised `HistoryRead`, because
attribute read callbacks re-applied the NodeSet bits.

Post-merge on net10.0:

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| `Opc.Ua.Di.Tests` | 326 passed |
| `Opc.Ua.Server.Tests` | 3846 passed, 5 skipped |
| `Opc.Ua.Tools.Tests` | 288 passed |
| `Opc.Ua.History.Tests` | 506 passed, 27 skipped |
| `Opc.Ua.SourceGeneration.Core.Tests` | 3722 passed, 8 skipped |

The full solution was also built and tested on **net48** before the
merge.

Review feedback from `copilot-pull-request-reviewer` has been addressed
in commit `badad31dc`: the shared `ServerObjectState` lock was removed
(the forward `HasNotifier` edge is published through the owning node
manager instead), MCP array serialization now preserves element types,
and the pump option guards report the specific rejected option. The only
failure is
`ConfigureApplicationBuildsSharedClientAndServerConfigurationAsync`, a
pre-existing certificate-store issue that **passes when run in
isolation** and is unrelated to this change.

## Documentation

Updated `docs/DeviceIntegration.md`, `docs/MigrationGuide.md`,
`docs/HistoricalAccess.md`, `docs/DeveloperGuide.md`,
`docs/McpServer.md`, `docs/README.md`,
`samples/PumpDeviceIntegrationServer/README.md` and
`tools/Opc.Ua.Mcp/README.md`, and consolidated the four node-manager
documents into a single [`docs/NodeManagers.md`](docs/NodeManagers.md) —
overview, built-in managers (including `MasterNodeManager`), core vs
custom, registration, server address-space metadata, and source
generation — with a TOC and all inbound links repointed.

## Related Issues

No tracking issue exists for this work yet — it originated from an
ad-hoc compliance audit of the pump sample. Given the size of the change
and the runtime-breaking NodeId move, please open (or link) a tracking
issue so the design is recorded as an ADR before merging.

Copilot a03bca97cb Remove TraceConfiguration and related APIs (#4092)
# Description

This change removes the remaining `TraceConfiguration`-driven
apply/setter API path and aligns configuration startup with the 2.0
telemetry model (`ITelemetryContext`/`ILoggerFactory`). It also updates
migration docs to make the removal explicit and actionable.

- **Core API removals**
  - Deleted `TraceConfiguration.ApplySettings()` implementation file.
  - Removed runtime apply calls from configuration/server startup paths.
  - Removed fluent builder trace setters:
    - `SetOutputFilePath(...)`
    - `SetDeleteOnLoad(...)`
    - `SetTraceMasks(...)`
  - Simplified builder interface inheritance accordingly.

- **Call-site and test fixture updates**
- Removed usage of deleted trace fluent APIs in affected test
infrastructure and fixtures.
- Updated GDS log readers to tolerate missing `TraceConfiguration`
output path safely.

- **Migration guidance**
- Updated migration docs to explicitly state removal of
`TraceConfiguration` apply APIs and direct users to telemetry-based
logging configuration.

```csharp
// Removed API pattern
app.Build(uri, product)
   .AsClient()
   .SetOutputFilePath("trace.log")
   .SetTraceMasks(Utils.TraceMasks.Error);

// New direction
// Configure logging via ITelemetryContext / ILoggerFactory at composition/startup.
```
