Marc Schier 1bb4bdca1d Add Machine Vision Parts 1 and 2 (#4733)
# Description

Implement the released [OPC
40100-1](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/specs/OPC-40100-1) and [OPC
40100-2](https://reference.opcfoundation.org/specs/OPC-40100-2)
specifications with generated models, provider-backed runtimes, typed
clients, MCP workflows, and DI/Machinery integration.

- **Part 1 stays in `Opc.Ua.Vision`** and its client/server packages
alongside the distinct Perception model. Provide control/acquisition
state machines, jobs and synchronized steps,
recipe/product/configuration/result management, file transfers,
diagnostics, events, and conditions.
- **Part 2 is in `Opc.Ua.MachineVision`, `.Client`, and `.Server`.**
Provide asset categories, identification, image-handling aspects,
health/maintenance data, topology, and transactional updates. The base
Vision assemblies do not reference these optional packages; the Part 2
wire model does not depend on Part 1.
- Preserve the release-pinned model bytes, wire namespaces and NodeIds.
Perception types are in `Opc.Ua.Vision.Perception`; the AMCM generated
namespace remains `Opc.Ua.Vision.MachineVision.AMCM`, and asset
client/server extension namespaces remain `Opc.Ua.Vision.Client` and
`Opc.Ua.Vision.Server`.
- Use `AddOpcUaMachineVision` and `AddOpcUaMachineVisionAMCM` for model
loading and factory registration. Each has node-collection,
encodeable-factory-builder and node-state-factory-builder overloads.
These short entry points delegate to the generated implementations;
existing namespace-derived generated names remain available for
compatibility.
- Support multiple independent named systems/assets under one
namespace-owning manager. Reuse injectable providers, file binding,
bounded memory stores, optional transactional `IFileSystemProvider`
persistence, state machines, telemetry and conformance infrastructure.
- Keep one `docs/Vision.md` guide, titled `Machine Vision (OPC 40100-1
and OPC 40100-2)`, and one `Opc.Ua.Mcp.Vision` package. Include
deterministic server/client samples.
- Expose 17 Machine Vision MCP tools, including capabilities/status,
bounded relationships and observation, complete small-file
uploads/downloads, management, explicit control, conditions, and chunked
transfers. Catalogue counts: 39 Vision-specific, 43 with connection
tools, 81 Vision+Robotics, 155 Full. Every Machine Vision wire parameter
has a schema description.

**Compatibility and limits:** `AddVision()` remains Perception-only
unless released parts are selected. Standalone Part 2 uses
`AddVision().AddMachineVision()`; Machinery composition uses
`AddVisionToMachinery()`. Existing tool defaults and command signatures
are preserved. Observation owns and cleans up its subscription: 5
seconds/50 notifications by default, capped at 60 seconds/100
notifications. Complete-file tools are capped at 1 MiB; larger files use
chunked transfers. Domain Error values remain distinct from UA service
failures.

**Versioning:** the seven Vision/MachineVision/MCP packages and their
Debug variants follow the repository root version instead of being
forced to preview. Vision.OpenUsd and its descendants remain
preview-only. Development builds still inherit the root prerelease
version. No release version, tag, release branch, publication policy, or
feed promotion is changed.

**Review actions:** all fourteen review threads have action/evidence
replies and are resolved. Changes include the unified guide, Perception
namespace, separate Part 2 packages and final naming, multi-system
ownership explanation, interrupted-write cleanup, observer failure
isolation, complete MCP parameter descriptions, and explicit package
inventory. The preview-layout migration topic and the requested
ReleaseProcess caveat were removed. The test Publish collector now
retries recognized transient failures within one cancellation budget and
propagates other exceptions. Commit 69b1f5db9 applies the requested
short loader names and renames standalone hosting to `AddMachineVision`,
with callers, tests and documentation updated. The intervening master
merge is preserved.

### Verification

**Latest API naming changes, verified locally:**

| Scope | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Full Vision suite, net10 | 572 passed, 1 existing skip, 0 failed |
| Full Vision suite, net48 | 515 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed |
| Final loader/hosting cases after cross-TFM null-guard adjustment | 9
passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped |
| Machine Vision MCP and profile cases | 198 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
|
| Main and MCP AOT test-project compilation | Both built with 0
warnings/errors |
| MCP AOT companion, managed execution | 5 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped;
not claimed as native execution |

`ModelLoaderNamesRegisterTypedFactories`,
`ModelLoaderNamesRejectNullArguments`, and
`GeneratedModelsLoadTogetherAndCreateTypedInstances` cover all six
loader overloads, fluent return identities, typed instances, namespace
coexistence and null guards. Existing standalone Part 2 tests verify
idempotent registration, one-owner enforcement and null handling through
`AddMachineVision`. No source-generator implementation, CLR namespace,
wire identity or model payload was changed for these naming updates.

The current 69b1f5db9 revision is running
[CI](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38165826937),
[package
validation](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38165823359),
[MCP
usability](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38165826874),
[CodeQL](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38165826906),
and [Images
CI](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38165826884).
These runs are not claimed as completed results.

**Earlier completed verification:** all seven default-TFM package
archives were inspected after the package rename: exact IDs, 27 clean
DLLs, correct dependencies/readmes/licenses, and unchanged pinned model
hashes. [CI on
c75ec4fa6](https://github.com/OPCFoundation/UA-.NETStandard/actions/runs/38142519760)
passed, including the formerly failing Linux batch and required summary.
Its unchanged coverage gate passed at **88.56% lines, 78.96% branches,
84.28% patch** against the 75% patch floor. The later
bounded-Publish-helper regressions reproduced 13 failures before the fix
and passed afterward; the full mainline triggering fixture passed 67
tests on each of net10/net48. These are historical results, not current
full-matrix results.

<summary>Executed API naming validation commands and outcomes</summary>

Run from the worktree root using the established artifact trees.
Dependency builds were performed before the no-build full net10 run; the
focused loader/hosting selection was rebuilt and rerun after the final
null-guard adjustment.

Sample applications

This repository contains a large collection of platform-independent samples that demonstrate the stack's client, server, PubSub, companion-model, and developer-tooling APIs. Each sample has its own README.md with build and run instructions. If you are new to the SDK, start with the minimal samples.

Contents

Minimal samples

Getting started runs the Minimal Boiler Server and the Minimal Client together.

  • Minimal Boiler Server — minimal Boiler-model server with the fluent state-machine builder; Native-AOT publishable.
  • Minimal Client — hosted client that discovers a secure endpoint of the Minimal Boiler Server, creates a subscription, browses, and reads; Native-AOT publishable.
  • Minimal Calc Server — minimal server built on the source-generated NodeManager pipeline and Calc model.

Reference applications

PubSub samples

  • Console Reference PubSub Client — one executable with publisher, subscriber, and external external-server-adapter modes across the supported transport profiles.

Companion-model samples

  • Pump Device Integration Server — Device Integration Part 100 server using Opc.Ua.Di.Server's fluent builder.
  • AMB Server — OPC 10000-110 Asset Management Basics with AddAssetManagement next to AddMachinery: a cooling pump and a flow sensor (Device Integration devices) and a hydraulic press (a Machinery machine) as assets with configurable AssetIds, health alarms with root causes, maintenance activities, documentation links, locations and persistence, and a simulation that raises alarms and moves the maintenance on.
  • AMB Client — discovers every asset with AmbClient, prints snapshots and the location hierarchies, adds and removes a documentation link, and streams health alarms and maintenance activities.
  • Minimal Robot Server — OPC 40010 Robotics with independently configurable RSL/GPOS motion and live OpenUSD transforms.
  • Intent Enabled Robot — collaborative arm exposing task-level Robot Intent motion verbs, Part 10 program lifecycle, missions, command authority, and safety-aware refusal.
  • Intent Viewer Client — click a target in an OpenUSD viewport and watch the arm execute the resulting intent; it also runs headless.
  • Bin Picking Cell — Robot Intent, Vision, an eye-in-hand camera, and an in-address-space OpenUSD scene in one reference cell.
  • Bin Picking Client — closes the Vision-to-Robot-Intent loop, with optional MCP hosting and an OpenUSD viewport.
  • Visual Inspection Cell — hosts Vision, AI Model Management, ISA-95 Job Control V2, and an operator dialog for deterministic machined-bracket inspection.
  • Visual Inspection Agent — drives the inspection loop with typed clients, routes inference through deployment Invoke, applies recipe verdicts, schedules allowlisted jobs, and records operator ground truth.
  • AI Model Management sample — ModelManagementServer publishes the draft AI Model Management catalogue and routes inference; ModelManagementClient discovers deployments and exercises the Methods.
  • Machine Vision server and client — released OPC 40100-1/-2 in Machinery, with recipe/file workflows and a shared draft/native inspection engine.
  • Minimal ISA-95 Server — hosts the OPC-10030 ISA-95 Common Model with OPC-10031-4 Job Control V1 and V2, using the typed common-model builder and in-memory Job Control provider.

OpenUSD site composition

  • Generator Server — simulated generating sets with datasheet-driven behavior and independent OpenUSD twins.
  • Site Composition Server — federates the pump and generator servers into one live OpenUSD site.
