# Description Fixes client subscription acknowledgement defects and replaces the mutable event-based acknowledgement policy with an injectable, asynchronous provider model. The latest changes in `7be912614` add opt-in **whole-message delivery**, harden lifecycle/concurrency behavior, and simplify acknowledgement state and wire-array construction. Existing features and all deprecations remain in this PR. The acknowledgement unit is one OPC UA `NotificationMessage`, not one data change, event, downstream message, or group of Publish responses indicated by `MoreNotifications`. ### Protocol and lifecycle fixes - Ensure acknowledgements make progress when fewer acknowledgements are queued than there are Publish workers. - Honor legacy deferral on V2 and preserve deferred/in-flight acknowledgements across retries. A throwing legacy callback restores the original lists; a throwing provider defers the batch. - Validate ownership before sending and after provider decisions, including subscription removal, recreation, changed IDs and server ID reuse. Reject detected responses from the previous owner before they advance the replacement subscription's sequence cursor. - Prune acknowledgements no longer retained by the server, including servers without a retransmission queue. - Retire one subscription's acknowledgement state without quiescing publishing for the whole session. - Reserve the classic engine's provider-decision slot before invoking application code. Concurrent Publish calls cannot overwrite pending decisions; asynchronous failures are observed and logged. - Preserve the original outstanding lifecycle when a cancelled queue attempt can still be queued. Retries do not create an additional terminal outcome. - Retire internal confirmation state synchronously, independently of application observer progress. Observer callbacks remain asynchronous and outside SDK locks. ### Public API and whole-message delivery | API | Purpose | |---|---| | `AcknowledgementHandle` | Process-local acknowledgement identity scoped to a subscription lifetime; avoids correlating messages solely by subscription ID and sequence number. | | `ISubscriptionAcknowledgementProvider` | Asynchronous, fail-closed send/defer decisions over `ArrayOf<AcknowledgementHandle>`. | | `ISubscriptionAcknowledgementObserver` | Terminal outcomes: `Acknowledged`, `NotRetained`, `OwnerRetired`, or `Abandoned`, subject to the cross-session limitation below. | | `AcknowledgementMode.AfterConfirmation` / `ISessionAcknowledgements.Confirm` | Do not acknowledge until the application explicitly confirms processing of the complete message. | | `ISubscriptionNotificationMessageHandler` / `SubscriptionNotificationMessage` | Opt-in delivery of all typed payloads in one envelope, preserving payload order, physical-partition identity, publish time and diagnostic string table. | - Provider configuration is available through `ManagedSessionOptions`, fluent builder methods and DI registration. - Whole-message handlers are registered through the V2 subscription APIs or `Subscription.NotificationMessageHandler` on the classic engine. Existing load/restore factories can return handlers implementing both notification interfaces. - Whole-message handling replaces data/event callbacks only for the opted-in subscription; keep-alive and lifecycle handling remain available. Returning from the handler does not implicitly confirm delivery. - Projection arrays do not borrow pooled wire notification containers. Monitored-item references remain live SDK objects. - Whole-message handlers receive shutdown cancellation before subscription retirement waits for their dispatch to finish. - Managed model-change tracking owns a dedicated whole-message subscription instead of sharing application streaming acknowledgement ownership. It confirms only after all events succeed; namespace-refresh, cache-invalidation and subscriber failures remain logged but do not produce a success confirmation. ### Compatibility and deprecations The following deprecations remain, with compatibility behavior preserved: - `ISession.PublishSequenceNumbersToAcknowledge`: honored when no provider is configured; not raised when a provider owns the policy. - Classic `FastDataChangeCallback`, `FastEventCallback`, `FastKeepAliveCallback` and their delegate types. - `ISession.DefaultSubscription` and its implementations. The lifetime proposal from the closed PR #4901 is incorporated through the provider/handle model rather than additional lifecycle events. ### Simplification and performance scope - Pending acknowledgements derive owner and generation from their scope rather than storing redundant copies. - Wire acknowledgements are projected directly into the final array, eliminating the intermediate converted list and its extra copy. - Whole-message envelopes are constructed only for opted-in handlers. The existing payload-callback path remains available. - Handles reuse cached subscription-lifetime scopes. Provider callbacks execute outside SDK locks. This is not a benchmarked throughput or allocation-parity claim. Broader lock/contention work, provider-path allocations and benchmark evidence remain tracked by #4912. ### Known limitations and non-goals - **#4929 remains open:** classic subscriptions served by the default V2 compatibility bridge do not yet participate in normal acknowledgement tracking. Supporting the classic engine is not the same as fixing that bridge. - **#4930 remains open:** transferring a classic subscription between different `Session` objects does not yet move tracked acknowledgements/confirmations between engines. Duplicate terminal reports or lost confirmations remain possible on that path. In-place managed-session recreation is a different, supported path. - Delaying protocol acknowledgement is not itself downstream retry or durable storage. Applications still own downstream retry/buffering; server retransmission queues are finite. - External observer delivery is buffered. Slow observers can grow their notification backlog, although they no longer retain internal confirmation state. Disposal waits up to five seconds for callbacks; an unresponsive observer can outlive disposal. - HA takeover/session-continuation redesign and server-side acknowledgement defects are not addressed here.

CI and maintainer API review remain outstanding.
