Clio Liu 947f632d7f feat(scada): CI Server tag database, historian, displays
The old 05-scada/, restructured around the distinction its README never
drew: configuration is deployed with dssqld, displays are deployed by
file copy. Conflating the two is what made the folder confusing.

  modbus_points/          the tag database - named for the protocol,
                          since CI Server configures others differently
  modbus_points/historian/  3 groups, 49 bindings - HAND-MADE, no
                          generator, and drifted from the server
  hmi/                    displays and their generator
  ciserver-backup-2026-08/  outdated exports, evidence only, never import
  QUICKLOAD.md            dssqld export/import, the 5 classes, the import
                          order, and why an item import kills every display
  README.md               the chain end to end, and the not-updating triage

Verified during the move - the whole chain is reproducible:
  scada-points.csv and all three .qli regenerate byte-identically
  all six displays build clean

Removed the K offset machinery from build_display.py, item-ids.meta.json
and DEPLOY.md. K was a consistency check on measured ids, not a source of
them, and diagnosing a dead screen by arithmetic is wasted effort when
validating the display in CI Server's Editor Module fixes it outright.
The guidance now leads with that one action.

Recorded, not fixed: the repo's historian config disagrees with the
2026-08 CI Server export - WRPS_THIRTY_SEC and a FIVE_SECONDS group exist
on the server and not here. cicore1 was unreachable during this audit, so
which is correct is unknown.

Not carried across: __pycache__, out/*.xml, and the top-level
WRPS_Overview.xml that was tracked despite .gitignore declaring the
display XMLs to be build output.

ciserver-backup-2026-08 — ⚠️ OUTDATED. Evidence only.

Caution

Do not import anything in this folder. These are exports taken out of CI Server around 2026-08-20. They are a record of what the server held at that moment, not source, and they are known to be superseded.

Why they are kept

The CI Server side of this project has no other record. cicore1 was not reachable during the 2026-09 audit, so nothing here could be checked against the live system. These exports are the only evidence of what was actually configured, as opposed to what the repo believes was configured.

File Class Contains
export_items.qli ITEM_DF 147 records mentioning AID.WRPS
export_his_group.qli HIS_GROUP_DF historian collection groups
export_item_his_df.qli ITEM_HIS_DF item → group bindings

An export holds every record of its class, not only this project's. Filter on AID.WRPS when comparing.

The drift they revealed

Comparing these against ../modbus_points/historian/ shows the two do not agree:

In this export In the repo's source
WRPS_EVENT, WRPS_ONE_SEC both
WRPS_THIRTY_SEC absent
FIVE_SECONDS (binding STN.LEVEL, STN.INFLOW) absent — not a WRPS group
WRPS_ONE_MIN, absent from the export

That is the whole reason this folder exists rather than being deleted.

Replacing it

When cicore1 is reachable, re-export the five classes (../../QUICKLOAD.md), diff them against ../modbus_points/, resolve the differences, and replace this folder with a dated export that has been verified. Do not accumulate backups — one known-good snapshot is more useful than three of uncertain age.
