Marc Schier 0374e19121 Add MachineTool, WMTP, GMS and CranesHoists companions (#4765)
# Description

_Describe the changes here to communicate to the maintainers why they
should accept this pull request. By default - this will become the
Commit message after merging and thus define history._

Add provider-backed MachineTool, bundled WMTP, GMS and CranesHoists
companions using the existing Machinery/MachineVision fluent, DI and
typed-client approach. **The PR is open/non-draft by user choice.
Current head `ecc4a7d6ca3e8004cf28ab54da605da302d026bf` is mergeable and
has 108 successful checks, six intentionally skipped checks, zero
failures and zero pending checks. All five primary workflows completed
successfully at that exact head.**

| Family | Released specification/model | Packaging |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MachineTool | OPC 40501-1, 1.02.0 | Model, Server, Client and MCP;
normal root versions |
| WMTP | OPC 40505, 1.0.0 | Bundled in MachineTool; distinct CLR/wire
namespace and independent WMTP-only hosting |
| GMS | OPC 40210 reference 1.0.1, normative model 1.0.0 | Model,
Server, Client and MCP; normal root versions |
| CranesHoists | OPC 40020-1, 1.00 | Model, Server, Client and MCP; all
four plus Debug variants forced preview |

There are **12 new packable projects**. No separate WMTP
package/profile/guide, root version bump, tag, release or package
publication is included. Mandatory instance structure is the default;
selected optional features require explicit providers. The
implementation reuses Machinery results/jobs/files/ProcessValues and
Robotics topology, including retained MachineTool Production, defined
GMS jobs/parts, modern ISA95/Machinery jobs, shared-owner hosting and
isolated instances alongside MachineVision.

Runtime and integration fixes preserve raw quality/timestamps, coherent
acquisition, namespace ownership, accepted-configuration state,
borrowed-resource lifetime, session/node/file cleanup, terminal-value
publication, event propagation and endpoint-aware capability
publication. Firmware/licence transfer means provider acceptance, not
installation/activation. Cancellation does not silently abort another
caller's operation. The later upstream MCP expansion is integrated
without losing either family set or its default-off privileged/live
execution policy.

### Conformance and scope

Canonical model inputs are pinned to UA-Nodeset revision
`96a08945425d0295edb3607d2a38f6841ef44046`.

**GMS upstream exception:** [Annex
A.1](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/specs/OPC-40210/annex-a) makes
the released NodeSet normative, but §12.3.2.7 requires undefined
`GMS_ProductionStatisticsType`. Inherited statistics and defined
jobs/parts are implemented without inventing a standard type/NodeId; the
complete GMS Production facet is withheld.

The requirement ledger records **102 positively evidenced CU rows, 96
directly negative-tested rows and six explicit negative-evidence
limitations**. All 648 test-class/name/TRX links were independently
resolved to passing cases. The six limitations concern Stacklight,
retained legacy PowerOnDuration, Machinery PowerOnDuration, WorkingUnit,
Obligation and MaintenanceMode. They are not claims that every
invalid-input or hardware-control behavior was tested. The undefined GMS
requirement is outside the 102 defined CUs. No external certification
claim is made.

Retained baseline complete-assembly line coverage, with generated code
retained and no source exclusions:

| Family | Model | Server | Client |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| MachineTool/WMTP | 83.80% | 91.98% | 84.74% |
| GMS | 95.51% | 90.63% | 88.38% |
| CranesHoists | 92.76% | 94.45% | 92.24% |

These nine measurements predate the later focused review fixes and
merges; they are not relabelled as new `ecc4a7d6c` percentages. The
current head's separate CI code-coverage check succeeded. No new
exclusions or threshold relaxations were introduced.

GMS sample pair

GmsServer and GmsClient use the public fluent/DI hosting, generated proxies and bounded GMS clients. These are simulations, not physical measuring equipment. There are no measurement-start, job-execution, calibration or machine-correction commands.

The released model is 1.0.0; its reference document is 1.0.1. The upstream undefined GMS_ProductionStatisticsType remains an explicit conformance exception: Annex A.1 makes the released NodeSet normative. Neither sample claims the complete Production facet.

Run

From the repository root, use separate terminals:

dotnet run --project samples\GMS\GmsServer\GmsServer.csproj -f net10.0 -- `
    --advanced --instances 2 --seconds 60 --demo-trust
dotnet run --project samples\GMS\GmsClient\GmsClient.csproj -f net10.0 -- `
    --events --characteristic Bore --download --demo-trust

Omit --advanced for mandatory structure and inline results. Optional equipment, corrections and file-transfer absence are reported explicitly. The server prints READY only after OPC UA initialization; --port 0 selects a free port and prints its actual URL. Pass that URL with the client's --endpoint option.

Certificate trust is required by default. The separate server/client stores under artifacts\gms-pki are retained for administration; trust each peer's application certificate in the other application's trusted peer store. --demo-trust is an explicit acceptance-only exception: the server actually binds the numeric IPv4 loopback address, the client rejects remote endpoints, and both retain encryption. The client requires Basic256Sha256 SignAndEncrypt and certificate-domain checks. No credentials are embedded.

The default client is passive. To acknowledge one result only, specify its exact system and result and confirm the state change:

dotnet run --project samples\GMS\GmsClient\GmsClient.csproj -f net10.0 -- `
    --system Gms1 --acknowledge Gms1-F-0000 --confirm-acknowledgement --seconds 0 --demo-trust

Acknowledgement does not run a job or change a correction. Sensor warnings are observed, never implicitly acknowledged. Their inputs are actual additional environmental measurements, not primary-probe qualification.

Bounds and cleanup

--help lists every bound. The server runs for at most 120 seconds and owns one or two independent providers/stores, each limited to 256 results and 8 MiB. Each instance permits one metadata handle and one file transfer. The client queries at most 16 IDs per instance, preserves raw DataValue quality/timestamps, bounds every observation by time/count/bytes and releases its subscriptions. Use --count 32 to capture changing advanced measurements beyond the initial inventory (the notification cap is 64). Downloads return bounded ByteString values in memory; no result file is written to disk.

With an advanced local server, add --system Gms1 --download --verify-cleanup --demo-trust to demonstrate a missing-result error, file-byte-limit refusal, cancellation after a remote file read and cancellation after monitored-item creation. A subsequent download and metadata read verify reuse of the single-handle capacity without waiting for expiration. Other failures return a nonzero exit code; the client does not silently retry acknowledgement. Ctrl+C awaits cleanup.

Both projects use AppTargetFrameworks and are nonpackable. NativeAOT is selected inside each application project only, conditionally for net10:

dotnet publish samples\GMS\GmsServer\GmsServer.csproj -c Release -f net10.0 -r win-x64
dotnet publish samples\GMS\GmsClient\GmsClient.csproj -c Release -f net10.0 -r win-x64

Do not pass a graph-wide PublishAot property. Execute the published applications with the same options to exercise the real transport.

On Windows, the PowerShell 7 GmsClient\Test-GmsSamplePair.ps1 acceptance harness takes -ServerExecutable, -ClientExecutable and -EvidenceDirectory. Use -Advanced -AllChecks for positive, refusal and cancellation checks; add -AssertNative for published NativeAOT binaries. It verifies the actual loopback listener, natural exits, subscription/handle reuse and owned PKI cleanup, and records exact commands, output logs and summary.json.
