Drives the no-incremental Debug build's warning count from 1,122 down to 64 across every code family the campaign turned up. The 64 residual warnings split cleanly into two follow-up channels, neither of which fits this PR's scope:

Baseline (2026-05-22)

Final no-incremental Debug build: 0 errors, 64 warnings (24 NU190x deferred to #149, 40 .g.cs CS0108/CS0109 deferred to post-#162 regen).

Tests: full suite green with the upstream CI filter (Category!=RequiresDocker&Category!=XsdLoadStrict&Category!=E2E). Without the filter, the only failures are 36 XsdLoadStrict cases already known and excluded from CI per .github/workflows/dotnet.yml.

<TreatWarningsAsErrors> gate — deferred

The user's mission spec asked to flip <TreatWarningsAsErrors>true</TreatWarningsAsErrors> on Directory.Build.props once the count hits zero. The flip waits on the two follow-up channels above clearing — otherwise the gate would break the build immediately on the merged result of this PR + #149 + the post-#162 regen.

Plan: once #149 lands and the post-#162 template regen lands, a small follow-up commit flips the gate.

Touches no .g.cs

CONVENTIONS sec15c forbids hand-editing generated outputs. Where a generated file emits a warning, the fix has to live in the Scriban template under build/MTConnect.NET-SysML-Import/CSharp/Templates/*.scriban and the file is re-emitted in a controlled, submodule-pinned regen — which means after #162.

Scope discipline

The warning sweep stays in this PR. No behavioural changes, no public-API renames, no in-place edits to other in-flight branches' scope. Lands after #160 (campaign clean-up) and before #157 (vitepress docs site) in the merge train.

…S0436

The DeviceFinder library ships a small vendored IPNetwork helper (parses
CIDR strings, enumerates address ranges, etc.) under namespace
System.Net. Since .NET 8 ships System.Net.IPNetwork in the BCL, every
reference to the vendored type compiles with CS0436 - "type IPNetwork in
this assembly conflicts with the imported type IPNetwork in
System.Net.Primitives". That accounts for 452 of the 1,122 baseline
warnings.

The vendored type is internal and only consumed inside the DeviceFinder
project, so the fix is structural: move all four files
(IPNetwork, IPNetworkCollection, IPAddressCollection, BigIntegerExt)
from namespace System.Net to namespace MTConnect.DeviceFinder. With the
namespace move, code that wrote Sockets.AddressFamily.* (relying on the
old enclosing namespace to resolve System.Net.Sockets) gets rewritten
to AddressFamily.* with an explicit using System.Net.Sockets;.

No public API change: the type stays internal; the only call site
(MTConnectDeviceFinder.cs) is already in MTConnect.DeviceFinder.
The SysML library uses '?'-suffixed reference-type annotations
throughout (e.g. 'string? Description' on the XMI model types). Without
'Nullable=annotations' enabled at the project level, every annotation
emits CS8632 - 'the annotation for nullable reference types should only
be used in code within a #nullable annotations context'. That accounts
for all 220 CS8632 in the solution.

The narrowest fix is to flip 'Nullable=annotations' (not 'enable') so
the '?' annotations have meaning but the compiler does not start
flow-analysing for new CS86xx null warnings - keeping this PR scoped to
warning-cleanup rather than wholesale null-safety review.
…ations

MTConnect.NET-SysML-Import is the build-time code generator that reads
the MTConnect SysML XMI and renders the C#/XML/JSON-cppagent emitters.
It has 'Nullable=enable' (full flow analysis) but its model classes are
internal scaffolding for the template rendering pass - they return
'string' from getters that can legitimately be null when the source XMI
node is unparented, return 'null' from static 'Create' factories on
bad input, and lazy-initialise reference-typed properties in 'OnDeserialize'-
style flows. That produces 132 nullable-flow warnings without exposing
real defects: CS8603 (78), CS8618 (40), CS8625 (10), CS8604 (2), CS8600 (2).

The right scope-matching fix is to downgrade the project to
'Nullable=annotations', matching the policy already in place on
MTConnect.NET-SysML (the runtime XMI library this project consumes).
The '?' annotations on existing types remain meaningful for IDE
tooling, but the compiler no longer flow-analyses for the CS86xx
family - reserving that work for the runtime libraries where flow
analysis would catch user-facing bugs.
…urface

MQTTnet 4.3 deprecated two API families this codebase used in 68
places:

1) MqttApplicationMessage.Payload (byte[]) -> PayloadSegment
   (ArraySegment<byte>?). 36 sites read message.Payload as a byte[];
   one site checked message.Payload != null. The replacement is a
   single-purpose internal extension class MqttApplicationMessageExtensions
   with GetPayload() (returns byte[] from the segment, allocating a
   copy only when the segment is sliced) and HasPayload() (segment
   count > 0). Migrating to these helpers keeps every consumer
   (Stream/Encoding/Deserialize) one-liner-compatible with the old
   API while routing through the supported member.

2) MqttClientOptionsBuilder.WithTls(MqttClientOptionsBuilderTlsParameters)
   plus the parameterless WithTls() -> WithTlsOptions(Action<MqttClientTlsOptionsBuilder>).
   The 32 sites across 4 files (MTConnectMqttRelay, MTConnectMqttExpandedClient,
   adapter/Modules/.../MqttAdapter, agent/Modules/.../MqttAdapter) now
   build the TLS options through the dedicated builder
   (.WithSslProtocols, .WithIgnoreCertificateRevocationErrors,
   .WithIgnoreCertificateChainErrors, .WithAllowUntrustedCertificates,
   .WithClientCertificates). The empty-lambda .WithTlsOptions(b => { })
   replaces the parameterless WithTls() for the credentialled-TLS path.

The Certificates property of the obsolete TlsParameters type is
replaced by WithClientCertificates(IEnumerable<X509Certificate2>) on
the new builder, which routes through ClientCertificatesProvider
internally - no behaviour change.

Clears all 68 CS0618 warnings in the solution.
…ides

Resolves the hand-written CS0108 'hides inherited member' warnings:

* libraries/MTConnect.NET-XML/Assets/.../Xml*Asset.cs (6 files,
  WriteXml(XmlWriter, IAsset)) - all derived helpers redeclare the
  base XmlAsset.WriteXml static; mark as 'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-XML/Assets/XmlUnknownAsset.cs - FromXml
  string overload redeclares base XmlAsset.FromXml; mark as 'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Common/Devices/IComponent.cs - the
  'string Type { get; }' member redeclares IContainer.Type; mark
  as 'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Common/Devices/IDevice.cs - the
  'string Type { get; }' member redeclares IComponent.Type;
  mark as 'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Common/Assets/Files/FileAsset.cs - the
  'TypeId' const redeclares AbstractFileAsset.TypeId; mark as
  'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Common/Buffers/MTConnectObservationFileBuffer.cs -
  Dispose() redeclares the non-virtual base; mark as 'new'.
* build/MTConnect.NET-SysML-Import/CSharp/InterfaceDataItemType.cs -
  RenderInterface()/RenderDescriptions() redeclare the non-virtual
  base DataItemType methods; mark as 'new'.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-SysML/Models/Devices/MTConnectInterfaceDataItemType.cs -
  static Parse() with the override-style signature on
  MTConnectDataItemType; mark as 'new'.

The remaining 10 CS0108 cases sit in '.g.cs' files generated from
the SysML XMI by the importer. Per CONVENTIONS sec15c, '.g.cs' files
must not be hand-edited - the fix has to land in the importer's
Scriban template (so the regen output carries 'new' on properties
that hide a parent-interface member). That work is queued for a
follow-up PR after the mtconnect_sysml_model submodule lands
(currently in flight as PR TrakHound#162) so the regen can be reproduced
deterministically in CI.
17 public events across MTConnect.NET-Common, MTConnect.NET-DeviceFinder,
MTConnect.NET-HTTP, MTConnect.NET-MQTT, and MTConnect.NET-SHDR are
declared but never raised from inside the assembly: DataSent / SendError
on MTConnectAdapter, AssetReceived on MTConnectAgent, ProbeError on
MTConnectDeviceFinder, ServerLogRecevied on MTConnectHttpServer,
MessageSent / PublishError on MTConnectMqttBroker, MTConnectError /
Connected / Disconnected / ConnectionStatusChanged on MTConnectMqttClient,
Connected / Disconnected on MTConnectMqttExpandedClient, MessageSent on
MTConnectMqttRelay, DataSent / AgentConnectionError on ShdrAdapter, and
CommandReceived on ShdrClient.

These are part of the published public API surface - downstream agent
modules and adapter implementations subscribe to them, and the contract
allows subclasses to raise them. Removing the declarations would be a
breaking ABI change.

Wrap each declaration with #pragma warning disable / restore CS0067 and
an explanatory comment. That clears all 34 CS0067 warnings without
altering the public surface.
CS1998 fires when a method carries the async modifier but contains no
await expression. The async modifier is load-bearing for callers that
expect Task-wrapped exception semantics, so the right fix per site is
to keep async and add an 'await Task.CompletedTask;' as the first
statement. That preserves the async state-machine envelope (exceptions
captured on the Task, not thrown synchronously) without changing
observable behaviour.

Sites touched:

* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Common/Configurations/DeviceConfiguration.cs
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-MQTT/MTConnectMqttBroker.cs (3 sites)
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-SHDR/Shdr/ShdrClient.cs
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-HTTP/Servers/MTConnect*ResponseHandler.cs
  (Asset / Assets / Current / Probe / Static / Http base)
* build/MTConnect.NET.Builder/Parts/{agent/installer,libraries,
  agent/docker} entry points

Also reflowed MTConnectHttpResponseHandler.OnRequestReceived from its
one-liner shape ('{ return new MTConnectHttpResponse(); }') to a
braced body so the awaited completion point + return live on their
own lines.
…portedOSPlatform

CA1416 (platform-specific API call from a multi-platform call site) was
firing on:

* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Services/MTConnectAgentService.cs and
  MTConnectAdapterService.cs - both subclass System.ServiceProcess.
  ServiceBase, whose OnStart/OnStop overrides are [SupportedOSPlatform(
  'windows')] on net8.0. Annotate the class so the override site no
  longer trips CA1416.
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-Services/WindowsService.cs - the entire class
  is Windows-only (ServiceController, WindowsIdentity, WindowsPrincipal).
* libraries/MTConnect.NET-HTTP/Ceen/Httpd/HttpServer.cs - the
  Socket(SocketInformation) ctor is Windows-only (it duplicates a
  socket handle). Annotate the RunClient(SocketInformation, ...)
  overload and its sole caller HandleRequest(SocketInformation, ...).

After annotating the base service classes, the call sites in
agent/MTConnect.NET-Applications-Agents/Service.cs and
adapter/MTConnect.NET-Applications-Adapter/Service.cs propagated CA1416
through their derivation; annotate those derived 'Service' classes
with the same attribute.

Clears all 24 CA1416 warnings without changing runtime behaviour - the
APIs were already gated by WindowsService.IsCompatible() / RuntimeInfo
checks at the call sites.
Eight 'catch (Exception ex) { }' blocks across DeviceFinder, HTTP, and
MQTT do not reference the captured exception. Replace with the
identifier-less 'catch (Exception)' form so CS0168 (variable declared
but never used) clears without changing the catch semantics.

Files touched: MTConnectDeviceFinder.cs, MTConnectHttpProbeClient.cs,
MTConnectHttpResponseHandler.cs (two sites),
MTConnectMqttBroker.cs, MTConnectMqttDocumentServer.cs (two sites),
MTConnectMqttRelay.cs.
Catch-all sweep that resolves the remaining low-volume warning families
the campaign turned up:

* CS0649 (3): MTConnectMqttClient._connectionStatus had no in-assembly
  assignment; initialise it to Disconnected (its semantic default).
  Ceen ServerConfig.DebugLogHandler / LoaderContext are public-API
  configuration hooks assigned by consumers, so wrap them with
  '#pragma warning disable CS0649' and an explanatory comment.
* CS0219 (2): drop unused local 'nextRevision' in
  build/.../AppVersion.cs and unused 'j' in adapter/.../DataSource.cs.
* SYSLIB0050 (1): wrap Type.IsSerializable lookup in
  AppDomainTask.cs with a scoped pragma - it gates a legacy AppDomain
  marshalling fallback that no longer fires on .NET 5+.
* SYSLIB0014 (1): wrap System.Net.WebRequest.CreateHttp() in the
  vendored Ceen SimpleProxyHandler with a scoped pragma; the
  HttpClient migration is a separate piece of work.
* CS8602 (1): bang-postfix the post-assert dereference in
  tests/.../SampleStream.cs (NUnit's 'Is.Not.Null' assert does not
  null-narrow for the flow analyser).
* CS8600 (1): annotate the locally-declared
  'ISampleValueObservation? observation' in
  JsonSampleValueToObservationTests.cs so the null literal is in
  scope of the nullable annotation.
* CS4014 (1): discard the fire-and-forget Task with '_ =' on the
  Ceen HttpServer.HandleRequest(Stream, ...) call site.
* CS0672 (1): the AppDomainBridge override of
  MarshalByRefObject.InitializeLifetimeService still ships on the
  Ceen legacy class; annotate the override with [Obsolete(...)] to
  match the base.
* CS0169 (1): remove the dead '_clientInformationTimer' field in the
  HttpAdapter module - its only references are in commented-out
  code.

… gate

Extend the libraries/Directory.Build.props CS1591-as-error policy to
the three other top-level project trees:

  - agent/Directory.Build.props      (every agent host + module)
  - adapter/Directory.Build.props    (every adapter host + module)
  - build/Directory.Build.props      (SysML importer, release builder,
                                       docs generator)

After this commit, every production project plus every contributor
tooling project enforces 100% public-surface XML-doc coverage at
build time. The previous gate covered libraries/* only; the rest of
the codebase only had GenerateDocumentationFile=true, which surfaced
missing comments as warnings the build never failed on.

The dotnet build of MTConnect.NET.sln in Debug --no-incremental
emits 0 errors and 0 CS1591 warnings under this gate, so the
elevation does not break the build.

The TreatWarningsAsErrors=true flip-to-error gate envisioned by TrakHound#164
is a superset of this CS1591 gate; once TrakHound#164 lands repo-wide every
warning becomes an error, but the CS1591 coverage gate is already
maintained independently here so a future regression on the doc
surface fails CI even before TrakHound#164 merges.
