# Description

Preserve populated derived node children through optional initialization
and give copied children independent ownership by their copied parent.

- Track initialization from a source in `NodeState` and guard generated
optional-default recreation without removing the optional initialization
hook.
- Reuse `CloneChild` for dynamic children, generated typed children, and
method argument properties. Preserve the clone root's existing external
parent.
- Add cross-model initialization/copy regressions, method-argument and
nested-child ownership tests, and inherited alarm-subtree checks.

This PR contains only the six files for this fix group.
Certificate-store, runtime-type-loader, publish-queue and
transport-exception fixes are separate work.

## Validation

Fresh focused Release/net10.0 checks on the final base:

| Fixture | Passed | Failed | Skipped |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| CrossModelInstanceTypeDefinitionGeneratorTests | 9 | 0 | 0 |
| Types NodeStateTests | 227 | 0 | 0 |
| Core StateTypesTests | 13 | 0 | 0 |

All three test commands exited 0. `git diff --check` and the
changed-file diagnostic check are clean.

Regression proof was also executed in the isolated worktree: with the
three production changes reversed, six generator cases failed with the
missing derived Temperature child while three controls passed; two copy
cases failed parent-identity assertions while the
external-parent/absent-arguments control passed. The production fix was
restored and the focused checks are green. The retained red runs
preceded the later upstream synchronization; the affected production
paths were unchanged by that synchronization.

Windows win-x64 NativeAOT publish and native execution also passed: main
178/178, Historian 2/2, MCP 3/3, no skips, every invocation exit 0.
These native runs preceded the final CTT-configuration/notes-only
fast-forward; this PR's six files were unchanged.

Local validation is intentionally change-scoped for this work, with the
full matrix and repository-wide checks left to PR CI. Repository
guidance and test assertions/timeouts were not modified. Local commands
used a NuGet v2 source override and disabled audit only on the command
line; CI feed/audit policy is unchanged.

Earlier broad attempts are not claimed as a completed local gate: an
unmodified-base durable restart timeout was reproduced before
synchronization (the later durable run passed), and the net48 runner
stalled after recording passing client tests. A direct client retry
subsequently exited 0, but the full net48 matrix was not completed.
Those results are not substituted for the focused evidence above.

## Checklist

- [x] I have signed the CLA and read the CONTRIBUTING doc.
- [x] I have added regression tests and demonstrated failure without the
production fix.
- [x] The focused tests pass; no new compiler diagnostics were reported
by those builds.
- [ ] Coverage and the full net48/net10.0 matrix are verified by PR CI.
- [ ] All CI, CodeQL, and review feedback is addressed.
