Add phase 5 Engineering Module summary, authorization skill, item tests

- Summary of IM 36K10C10 (Engineering Module - I/O Processes), checked
  against dssana.sup, itm.sup and the default datasets
- New skill authorization: users and authorization groups by quick load
- item-engineering: string item limits (1-200, holds length - 1) and the
  integration granule (itm_int_secs), both tested on CI-Eng-Sample
- CI-Eng-Sample: read-only authorization group CIENG_VIEWER
- Closed ISS-001 (uoff/ublk option bits), ISS-010, ISS-019; new ISS-018, ISS-020

+  CI Server R1.03 users, authorization groups, login and schemes. Use when the user wants to
+  create, list or remove CI Server users or authorization groups, choose authorization actions
+  (ITEM_READ, ITEM_MODIFY_VALUE, …), set process areas, logoff timeout or initial display for
+  a user, change how users log in (dssana.sup login method: Automatic, Manual CI Server,
+  Manual OS, No, SSO, Deny), or hide Engineering Module features with a scheme.

+# Authorization (R1.03)
+
+Background: `knowledge/manuals/IM36K10C10-01EN.md` §2 (login methods, actions, user tabs,
+schemes). Login settings are in `dssana.sup` on CI Core (skill `portal-setup` for reading
+and changing setup files).
+
+Rules:
+- Run the `system-check` skill first; follow the user's chosen way of working.
+- Users are login accounts. Claude prepares user quick load files but the user loads them
+  and sets any password; never put real passwords in repo files.
+- Remove users before the authorization group they belong to.

+Engineering Module equivalent: *Authorization → Authorization groups / User → Add*.
+Datasets: `AUTH_GROUP_DF` (groups), `AUTH_ACTION_DF` (allowed action names), `USER_DF`
+(users). Works from a normal prompt while CI Server is running. Use short relative file
+names (`cd` to the folder first): long absolute paths are cut (ISS-020).

+
+Installed on R1.03: groups `SYSTEM_MANAGER`, `ENGINEER`, `OPERATOR`, `GUEST`; users `ADMIN`,
+`ADMINE`, `OPER`, `CI_NO_LOGIN_OPCUAS`. Passwords export as `****`.
+
+## Group
+
+Required: `NAME`. Actions go in `ACTION_NAME_1`, `ACTION_NAME_2`, … and must be names from
+`AUTH_ACTION_DF` (e.g. `ITEM_READ`, `ITEM_MODIFY_VALUE`, `SECTION_BLOCK_UNBLOCK`,
+`ALARM_CURRENT_ACK`). Example (`examples/CI-Eng-Sample/08_auth_group_df.qli`):

+
+## User
+
+Required: `NAME` (≤ 32) and `AUTH_GROUP` (an existing group). Optional: `DESCRIPTION`,
+`PROCESS_AREAS` (e.g. `"1-999"`), `LOGOFF_TIMEOUT` (minutes, 0–999), `INITIAL_DISPLAY`,
+`LOCALE`, `ENTERPRISE`, playback fields. A password is **not** required on import; set it in

+playback *HMI Client dependent* / *No*, merge priority 1. Changes take effect at the user's
+next login.

+
+Group `CIENG_VIEWER` and user `CIENG_TEST` (no password, logoff 15 min) loaded with 0 errors,
+exported back as defined, then removed (1 + 1 removed, 0 errors). The group is part of
+CI-Eng-Sample; the sample creates no users.

Practiced 2026-09-30: set to 60 and restarted → `CI-Eng-Sample.PUMP1.RUNNING.RUN_SECONDS` rose exactly 1.0 in 60 s; restored to 1 (file identical to backup) → 8 in 8 s.

+title: Engineering Module - I/O Processes
+edition: 3rd Edition, Sep. 2023
+version: R1.03
+status: from docs; setup files and default datasets (users, authorization groups, schemes, trigger groups) checked read-only on the test system (2026-09-30)
+---
+
+# Engineering Module - I/O Processes (R1.03)
+
+The Engineering Module (Java GUI) defines what CI Server knows: users and rights, sections,
+items and sub-items, equipment (lines, stations, points, scan types), item statuses, classes,
+sequences and trigger groups. Section numbers refer to the manual. Command-line equivalents
+used in this repo are given where they exist (quick load with `dssqld`, dataset names from
+`dssqld -f`).
+
+## 1. Window (§1)
+
+Menu bar, toolbar, configuration tree (left), work area with property sheets, message area and
+edit history (undo/redo of edits).
+- *View → List*: List Items (item search), List Objects, item list of a section with values,
+  record layout list.
+- *Archive*: automatic/manual archive, retrieve, mount/initialize/register storage media
+  (history, phase 9).
+- *Playback*: record Engineering Module operations and open the recording viewer.
+- Configuration tree areas: sections and items; I/O processing (equipment, classes, …);
+  alarms; reports; history; authorization; references.
+
+## 2. Authorization (§2)
+
+**Login setup lives in `dssana.sup`** (Setup File Editor), on **CI Core**, so each CI Portal /
+user interface combination can have its own login method (tab *Login control*,
+`LOGIN_METHOD = <client>, <user interface>, <method>, <prompt to define users>, <no-login
+profile>`). It also holds single sign-on, Active Directory and password rules (§2.1.1, §2.2).
+
+Login methods:
+
+| Method | Behaviour |
+|---|---|
+| Automatic | Windows user name = CI Server user name; no password |
+| Manual CI Server | CI Server login form; user must exist in CI Server |
+| Manual OS | Windows login form; with AD on, AD attributes pick the CI Server profile; with AD off the Windows name (without domain) must exist as CI Server user |
+| No | No login; a no-login profile is applied. Only on CI Portal itself, not remote CI View. Protect that profile with a password. |
+| SSO | AD single sign-on, no credentials; if SSO is off in `dssana.sup`, falls back to Manual CI Server |
+| Deny | The user interface cannot be started |
+
+With AD, a user in several groups gets the merged profiles (priority per profile). If no users
+exist yet, the Engineering Module asks you to define one instead of logging in.
+
+Test system (`dssana.sup` installed values): local Engineering/Edit Module, Operator
+Interface etc. use **SSO**; remote Playback Viewer, Quickload and Display/Symbol utilities are
+**Deny**; OPC UA/ODBC use *Manual CI Server*. The no-login profile named there is
+`CI_NO_LOGIN` (the manual says `FT_NO_LOGIN`, ISS-018); no user of that name exists on the
+test system.
+
+**Enterprise engineers (§2.3)** may maintain only their area: sections and everything in them,
+definitions and deployments, authorization data, and equalization — and can deploy to a
+server only if they have write rights there (e.g. on `ITEM_DF`).
+
+**Authorization groups (§2.4)** (`AUTH_GROUP_DF`, actions in `AUTH_ACTION_DF`): a group is a
+list of allowed actions. Most are `<CATEGORY>_<READ|INSERT|MODIFY|DELETE>` for a dataset
+category (e.g. `ITEM`, `SECTION`, `STATION`, `CLASS`, `OBJECT`, `USER`, `AUTH_GROUP`,
+`TRIGGER_GROUP`, `HIS_GROUP`, `REPORT`, `DISPLAY`, `ALARM_*`, `AUD*`). Others are single
+actions, e.g. `ITEM_MODIFY_VALUE`, `ITEM_MODIFY_LIMIT_HIGH`, `ITEM_MODIFY_BLOCKED_VALUE`,
+`ITEM_ACK_ALARM`, `SECTION_BLOCK_UNBLOCK`, `STATION_ON_OFF_SCAN`, `ALARM_CURRENT_ACK`,
+`REPORT_GENERATE_ADHOC`, `SYS_LOG_READ`, `EXECUTE_GENERAL_COMMANDS`,
+`HIS_GROUP_FORCE_ROLLOVER`. Installed also: `AGGREGATION_OVERWRITE_*` (not in the manual).
+Default groups on R1.03: `SYSTEM_MANAGER`, `ENGINEER`, `OPERATOR` (process areas 1–999) and
+`GUEST`.
+
+**Users (§2.5)** (`USER_DF`); changes apply at the user's next login. Tabs:
+- *General*: name, description, password (≤ 31 characters, case-sensitive), enterprise user
+  (must be deployed to every CI Core where needed), authorization group, process areas
+  (1–999, lists/ranges like `3 5 8 10-19`), locale (`en-US`, `ja-JP`; blank = Windows).
+- *Directory services*: AD group mapping and profile priority (higher wins when merging).
+- *Alarming*: alarm selection area, alarm shelving group.
+- *Operator Interface*: logoff timeout (min, 0 = off), deployment folder (default
+  `%TLS_WAP_PATH%\cfg\operatorInterfaces\DEPLOY`), layout, initial display.
+- *Destinations*: user's report printer for on-demand reports.
+- *Playback*: recording on/off/"HMI Client dependent" (then set in
+  `%TLS_WAP_PATH%\cfg\playback\playback.xml` per client, application and user), and whether the
+  user may switch recording, change its properties, view, play all users' recordings, export.
+Default users on R1.03: `ADMIN` (SYSTEM_MANAGER), `ADMINE` (enterprise admin), `OPER`, and
+`CI_NO_LOGIN_OPCUAS` (anonymous OPC UA).
+
+**Schemes (§2.6)** (`SCHEME_DF`) hide Engineering Module folders and fields a project does not
+need. Activating one restarts the Engineering Module (OK/Apply do not activate). Tabs: General
+(multi-language, OPC server, playback, enterprise), I/O processing (PIT filter, STX-Bachmann,
+hide item statuses), Alarming (e-mail notification, AOI, ASA, first-out, collection, groups,
+diagnostic flag, OPC AE detection, predefined ack types only), Processing (control item,
+sequences, priorities, extended reset, predefined trigger groups only), Reporting (item
+trigger, priorities, lifetime), Historization (external archive, warning time, non-item
+groups, direct storage), Authorization (process areas, predefined groups only). Installed:
+`STARTER`, `STANDARD`, `ADVANCED`, none active.
+
+## 3. Items (§3)
+
+**Concepts (§3.1)**: an item holds value plus conversion, format, alarm parameters, I/O
+authority, application info and status. Name `Section[.Sub-section…].Item`, max **255 bytes**
+(multi-byte characters count more). An item can be connected to one I/O point on a station.
+Raw values are converted to engineering units (e.g. linear `f(x)=ax+b` from electrical to
+physical limits; overflow/underflow and a DELTA change limit give statuses; other conversions:
+IM 36K10L41).
+
+**Limits and deadband**: up to four limits (none, H+L, or all four) plus one deadband on the
+normal side; statuses LOWLOW, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH, HIGHHIGH. Scale high/low give
+OVERRANGED/UNDERRANGED and override limit statuses. Booleans get status TRUE/FALSE
+(BOOLEAN 1/0).
+
+**PIT filter** (reduces history events; used only if the application honours it): an update
+passes when `(P OR I) AND NOT T`.
+- P: |new − reference| > P.
+- I: integral of (sample − reference) × seconds > I (1 s resolution).
+- T: for T seconds after a pass, nothing passes.
+- Each pass sets a new reference.
+
+**Sub-items (§3.2)**: Integrator, Pulse counter (Boolean main item, counts 0→1), Min/Max
+indicator (runs until reset), Rate of change (time unit day/hour/minute/second chosen per
+sub-item), Type-less (a free Real item written by PROCESS/REPORT services or applications).
+- **Integrator**: `new = (t_now − t_prev) × previous value + old`, evaluated every second;
+  negative values subtract. The result is divided by the **integration granule**
+  `itm_int_secs` in `itm.sup` — **system-wide**, default and test-system value 1 (seconds);
+  3600 gives hours (answers ISS-010).
+- Sub-items have no Equipment tab and are **not** blocked with their main item.
+
+**Defining (§3.3)** — right-click node/section → Add. Sections: name cannot be changed (delete
+and recreate; only possible when empty), new sections are UNBLOCKED; fields Blocked, Visible
+via OPC, Alarm inhibit, plus read-only parent flags. Nesting is limited by the 255-character
+path. Blocking a large section can take long.
+
+Item form tabs: General, Item Management, Limits and filtering (not for Boolean), Equipment,
+Alarm (only if alarming on), Area of interest. Item name (tag): letters, digits, `_`
+recommended; tag and type cannot be changed (delete and recreate).
+- *General*: engineering units, value format (`9`, `0`, `+`, `.`, `EEEE`, date/time codes
+  `D DD M MM MMM Y YY YYYY h hh mm ss p`, `\` escapes a letter), representation (Boolean,
+  Integer 32-bit, Real 64-bit, String), alarming, audit trailing, *remember last value
+  immediately* (keep value/status/quality over a warm restart instead of NOT INIT), process
+  areas, comment 1/2, map position (WGS 84 latitude/longitude).
+- *Item management*: blocked, OPC visible (+ read/write; also needs the section visible),
+  alarm inhibit, parent flags, data exposure aggregation interval (60 s–7 days, 0 = off).
+- *Limits and filtering*: HH/H/L/LL, deadband (values may be rounded), scale high/low, limit
+  clamping (HH-LL, H-L, scale, none), out-of-range support, trend axis limits, PIT values.
+  String items: max length, default 80. The manual says max 100; the installed software
+  accepts 1–200 and stores length − 1 characters, cutting longer values with status 12
+  OVERRANGED (verified, ISS-019).
+- *Equipment*: pick an existing I/O point of a station, or define a new point here (created
+  with the item; delete it yourself when deleting the item). No connection = internal item.
+- *Alarming*: OPC AE detection (AE station/event source) or CI Server detection, diagnostic
+  item, acknowledgment type, alarm collection, first-out group/item, delay time, repeat time,
+  per-status alarm state (None, Normal, Alarm 1–3), priority 0–15 (15 highest unless
+  `alm.sup` inverts it), text, colour, mnemonic, shelve enable. Ack types, collections and
+  first-out groups must exist first.
+- *Areas of interest*: up to 16 labels used to filter alarms.
+
+**Blocking and offline (§3.4)**: blocked (manual, per item/sub-item, nested section or top
+section) and offline (station connection lost) items are not updated by equipment. Unblocking
+a section leaves items that were blocked individually still blocked.
+
+**Update value (§3.5)** (= `itmval -p`): value, status, quality code, *Overwrite blocked*
+(= `itmval -o`), lock (user/terminal). **Option bits** (explains the `blk`/`off`/`uoff`/`ublk`
+flags of `itmval -g`, ISS-001):
+
+| Bit | Value | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | 1 | Blocked |
+| 1 | 2 | Offline (no connection to equipment) |
+| 2 | 4 | **Updated offline**: written by an application (object, this form, `itmval`) while offline |
+| 3 | 8 | Acknowledged (last alarm event) |
+| 4 | 16 | **Updated blocked**: written by an application while blocked |
+| 5 | 32 | Direct alarm (alarm state reached, delay running) |
+| 6 | 64 | Delayed alarm (after the delay; set together with bit 5) |
+
+Also on the form: force to normal / force to alarm, priority, colour, mnemonic, text.
+
+## 4. I/O processing (§4)
+
+**Equipment (§4.1)**: *lines* (protocol/connection), *stations* (controllers, identified
+internally by equipment manager + slave number; up to 4095 per manager) and *points* (I/O
+addresses). Details per station type: IM 36K10L40/L41.
+- Station form: line, redundant lines and TCP/IP addresses, preferred line; **On scan**
+  (off-scan stops input updates for the whole station — cheaper than blocking each item;
+  outputs continue), **Suppress outputs**, output method (on change / on change and connect);
+  status items: general communication (1 good, 0 bad, status OFFSCAN when off-scan), line 1,
+  line 2 (typeless sub-items show sub-line states for Modbus TCP), line selection.
+- Scan types (`SCAN_TYPE_DF`): name + interval (ms); intervals are multiples of the equipment
+  manager's tick. PLC reads are grouped using *maximum gap* and *maximum size*.
+- *All equipment definitions* shows lines, stations, points and scan types read-only;
+  editing is done under each plug-in's own tree node. Points created from an item form are
+  shown as `[<item name>]`.
+
+**Item statuses (§4.2)** (`STATUS_DF`): numbers 0–255 mapped to a system text (fixed),
+description (user text), mnemonic, alarm priority, alarm state, colour, shelve enable.
+**100–127 are free**; the rest are reserved (34–99 and 128+ used for DCS/batch/HAC interfaces).
+Common ones: 1 CALCULATE, 3 BLOCKED, 4/5 BOOLEAN 0/1, 6 UNDERRANGED, 7 LOW LOW, 8 LOW,
+9 NORMAL, 10 HIGH, 11 HIGH HIGH, 12 OVERRANGED, 13 NOT INIT, 14 OFFLINE, 15 UPD OFFLINE,
+16 UPD BLOCKED, 21 DELTA, 22 OFFSCAN, 23 OUT_SUPR, 24 BAD VALUE.
+
+**Classes (§4.3)** (`CLASS_DF`): templates in the PROCESS Service traditional language
+(IM 36K10P10) or Java (IM 36K10P11); the language is fixed once created and the two cannot
+reference each other. Changing a class needs a **reset** before objects use it.
+
+**Sequences (§4.4)** (`SEQUENCE_DF`): a one-off program (class and object in one) tied to a
+**control item**; traditional language only. Compile, then set activation time, trigger
+interval (or trigger once / event-driven `TRIGGER` on TIMER or ITEM), deactivation time,
+daylight-saving correction. Blocking the control item puts the sequence off-line; the `STEP`
+variable is the control item's value. Classes are preferred for maintainability.
+
+**Trigger groups (§4.5)** (`TRIGGER_DF`): name (≤ 15 characters, letter first, then letters,
+digits, `_`), activation time (immediate or date), deactivation (infinite or date), trigger
+once or interval (seconds … years), daylight-saving correction. Triggers fire at activation
+time + n × interval. Editable except the name; deletable only when unused. Installed defaults:
+`ONCE`, `ONE_SECOND`, `TWO_SECONDS`, `FIVE_SECONDS`, `TEN_SECONDS`, `THIRTY_SECONDS`,
+`ONE_MINUTE`, `TWO_MINUTES`, `FIVE_MINUTES`, `TEN_MINUTES`, `THIRTY_MINUTES`, `ONE_HOUR`.
+
+## 5. Class and object engineering (§5)
+
+Flow: trigger group → class (code, compile) → object → test → (symbol → display → test).
+PROCESS Service runs at 1-second resolution at best.
+- **Class** (§5.2): name ≤ 15 characters (letter first); language; priority (load balancing,
+  ranges set in the PROCESS Service setup file); *Extended reset enabled*. Code tab (template,
+  Compile after reopening the form), Listing tab (errors start `**** ERROR:`; double-click to
+  jump), Trigger Groups tab.
+- **Object** (§5.3): created under a section like an item; node (blank = local / control
+  item's node), priority 0–999 (0 = class priority), class, optional **control item** (object
+  runs when its status is on-line; BLOCKED disables methods; `STEP` = its value), map
+  position, up to 99 attribute prompts. Item management: *Items may exist* (reuse existing
+  items with identical attributes), *Leave items* (keep created items when deleting the
+  object), blocked, OPC visible, alarm inhibit. Object trigger groups override the class's.
+- **Testing** (§5.4): `PRINT` statements go to the message log (remove afterwards); right-click
+  object → *Debug* collects a trace (triggers, methods, changed signals/attributes) shown when
+  debug is switched off.
+- **Reset** (§5.5): compiled changes take effect only after resetting the class (all objects)
+  or single objects; control may be lost briefly; there is no indication which objects were
+  reset. *Normal reset* for body changes; *extended reset* when the **signature** changes
+  (traditional: prolog section; Java: attribute/signal declarations or `create()`); it may
+  create/modify/delete signal items. If the compiler misses a signature change, force it
+  (*Extended reset forced*).
+- **Symbols** (§5.6–5.9): a symbol can be tied to a PROCESS Service class; its component
+  properties connect to class signals (e.g. fill colour via a threshold table); on a display
+  each symbol instance is pointed at an object (Edit Module, phase 10).
+
+## Differences from the installed software
+
