Fixes DOPE-598 and DOPE-600.

Mirror of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/746

Bug fix: no Requirements Gathering page, and no Cybersecurity Risk Assessment trigger area is touched — store validation and one toast in the globals editor.

Problem

Two holes in element-name uniqueness, one card each:

  • DOPE-598 — a resource global variable could take the name of a POU, a data type or a Global Variable List. createVariable / updateVariable only checked the globals table itself, and the globals code view committed whatever parsed. The compiler then saw two symbols with one name.
  • DOPE-600 — servers and remote devices were only checked against their own kind, and rename had no check at all. Renaming a server onto an existing server's name left files[] keyed by the stale name (the old file was never dropped, the new name pointed at nothing), and renaming a server to its own name queued its own file for deletion on the next save.

Both cards are the last two children of the DOPE-577 family, so they land together: they share the gate, and fixing one without the other leaves the same class of collision open from the other side.

Fix

The gate moves to its own modulestore/slices/shared/name-collision.ts — so the project slice and the globals editor can call it (it lived inside shared/slice.ts, unreachable from project/slice.ts without a cycle). elementNameCollision(state, name, kind, ignoring?) is the single entry point; nameMatches is re-exported for the callers that still need a plain compare.

Two namespaces, not one pool. A kind is checked only against the kinds it shares a namespace with:

kind compiler symbol workspace element
POU, data type, Global Variable List yes yes
server, remote device, EtherCAT slave yes
resource global yes

So a server may still be named like a resource global or like a library function (Scale), because neither reaches the compiler through the server; a resource global named Scale, or after a POU, a type or a list, is refused. The <name>_TYPE list check, the library-symbol check and the unparsed .dt file check keep their existing scope and messages verbatim.

Servers and remote devices go through the gate on create, rename and duplicate. Rename checks the new name with the old one as ignoring; a same-name rename is an explicit no-op (without it updateServerName matches the element against itself and reports a duplicate). Since both kinds own a file, case-only renames are refused like they are for POUs — the file systems we ship on fold case, so Modbusmodbus would push devices/servers/Modbus.json onto pendingDeletions while writing the same file under the new spelling. The same-kind messages are Server already exists / Remote device already exists. The create form and the EtherCAT bus rename now carry the gate's reason to the user instead of a fixed "already exists" or a silent snap-back, and Duplicate picks its _copy name through the gate so the second duplicate lands on the first try.

Resource globals are gated at both store entry points. createVariable feeds the gate into the row validator's auto-increment (createVariableValidation takes a nameTaken predicate, bounded like the location loop), so the "+" button's clone steps past POU, type, list and library names the same way it steps past its own table — a POU named GlobalVar no longer blocks the first row forever. updateVariable checks only when name changes and only once the row is found, ignoring the row's current name so a case-only edit of a global stays allowed (globals own no file). The globals code view runs newGlobalNameCollision at its commit boundary: only names the commit introduces are gated, names the table already holds pass, so a project that already carries a global named after a library symbol stays editable through that view; the undo path through setGlobalVariables stays ungated. The table's name cell checks the gate before asking about reference propagation. The three "+" paths in the editor surface a refusal as a toast; they used to drop the response silently.

Not touched: undo/redo, project load (a project already carrying a collision still opens), the Requirements/CRA pages, any backend.

Behaviour changes worth knowing

  • A server or remote device can no longer be renamed onto an existing name, to a case variant of its own name, or to a POU / data type / list name. Same-name rename is a no-op (no dirty flag).
  • A resource global can no longer be named after a POU, a data type, a Global Variable List or a library symbol — from the table or from the code view; the "+" button auto-increments past those names. An unreadable .dt file is not in a global's way: it is echoed to disk but never compiled, so the two do not meet.
  • A Global Variable List can no longer take a name whose <name>_TYPE a resource global already holds, in either creation order.
  • A POU, data type or list can no longer be named after a server, a remote device or a resource global.
  • Server ↔ resource global, and server ↔ library symbol, remain allowed.

Tests

  • New store/__tests__/name-collision.test.ts: the full 6×5 kind matrix on the real store (every kind against every other, both directions), same-kind messages, self / case-only rules per kind, library Scale, unparsed .dt, list type name, derived-name rules in both creation orders, newGlobalNameCollision (held names pass, introduced names are gated), and a project already carrying a server/list collision still loading.
  • element-duplicate.test.ts +4; shared-slice.test.ts: the case-only rename test for servers and remote devices now pins the registry (files, element name, pendingDeletions), plus same-name no-op and cross-kind refusal for devices; project-slice.test.ts: global clone steps past a POU name, past Motor0, seeds an empty table past a POU named GlobalVar, missing row reported before its new name; project-validation-variables.test.ts +3 for the nameTaken loop and its bound.

Local gate in both repos: prettier, eslint, tsc, architecture validation; full suite with coverage thresholds — web vitest 393 files / 8095 tests, editor jest 396 suites / 8197 tests. scripts/compare-surfaces.py between the branches: total_diffs: 0.

Validated manually by João on the dev build against the fixture plc-projects/dope-598-600-name-gate (POU Pump, type TankT, list Recipes, servers Modbus + Recipes, remote device Drive, global LineEnable): the create/rename/duplicate refusals per kind, the allowed pairs, the server rename paths, and a legacy project carrying a server/list collision still opening. The review round below was re-validated on the same fixture.

Review round 1

From Gustavo's review: the derived _TYPE arm now checks resource globals (order-independent); the globals "+" auto-increments against the whole namespace instead of dead-ending; the server/device create form and the EtherCAT bus rename report the gate's reason; the code view gates only introduced names; Duplicate's _copy name goes through the gate; the table cell checks the name before the rename-impact modal; updateVariable reports a missing row before judging its name; comments and this description corrected (unparsed .dt vs globals, the no-op rename reason). EtherCAT slaves join the workspace namespace as their own kind: ethercatDeviceActions.rename, scan-bus add, repository add and bus duplication all go through the gate (generateUniqueSlaveName takes a predicate, so auto-suffixing still steps past a taken name instead of refusing), and every other workspace kind refuses a slave's name. The same-kind message for slaves is unchanged.

Shared surface: src/frontend/** only, byte-identical with the sibling PR.

…her element name (DOPE-598, DOPE-600)

Move the element-name gate into its own module and split it into two namespaces: compiler symbols (POUs, data types, global variable lists, resource globals, library symbols, unparsed .dt files) and workspace registry (POUs, data types, lists, servers, remote devices). A name is checked only against the kinds it shares a namespace with, so a server may still be named like a global or a library function, while a global named after a POU, a type or a list is refused.

Servers and remote devices now go through the gate on create, rename and duplicate. Rename had no check at all: renaming onto an existing server left `files` keyed by the stale name, and a same-name rename queued the server's own file for deletion. Case-only renames are refused for both, since they own a file and the file systems we ship on fold case.

Resource globals are checked at both store entry points and at the code view's commit boundary, so the undo path through `setGlobalVariables` stays ungated. The three "+" paths in the globals editor now surface the refusal as a toast instead of dropping the response.

Add the symmetric resource-global collision check. The serializer emits each list as <name>_TYPE and an instance named <name>. resource-global shares the compiler namespace with both symbols. The current list-creation path checks data types, POUs, and lists, but not resource globals. Add this check so both creation orders reject the collision:

   if (others.some((o) => o.kind === 'pou' && nameMatches(o.name, derived))) {

Mirror review of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/746 — the two diffs are byte-identical (verified locally, and sync / Shared Surface Sync is green on both), so every point below applies verbatim to this PR.

Review — needs changes

The design is right: one gate, two overlapping namespaces instead of one pool, the COMPILER_SYMBOL / WORKSPACE_ELEMENT / OWNS_FILE tables read as the rule itself, and the 6×5 matrix runs against the real store with DISJOINT enumerated independently of the production tables, so it is not a tautology. Extracting the gate into its own module was the right call and the files-registry reasoning behind refusing case-only renames is correct.

Two things stop it: the namespace does not close in both directions for one pair, and three of the paths that can now refuse do not tell the user why. Details below, all verified against the branch.

Must fix

1. store/slices/shared/name-collision.ts:204-227 — the derived <name>_TYPE block omits resource-global, so the collision is order-dependent.

A resource global that takes a list's type name is refused at :191-195 (listOwningTheName, reached because COMPILER_SYMBOL['resource-global'] is true). The mirror block for a new list checks data-type (:205), pou (:208), the other lists (:213, :216), unparsed .dt (:221) and library symbols (:224) — but not resource-global.

Repro: create a resource global named Plant_TYPE, then a Global Variable List named Plant → accepted. Do it in the other order → refused. The result is the generated struct Plant_TYPE next to a VAR_GLOBAL Plant_TYPE — exactly the duplicate symbol this family exists to prevent, reachable only by choosing the order. CodeRabbit flagged this too and its suggested arm is correct:

if (others.some((o) => o.kind === 'resource-global' && nameMatches(o.name, derived))) {
  return `"${name}" needs the type name "${derived}", which a global variable already uses`
}

Should fix

2. store/slices/project/slice.ts:1055 + store/slices/project/validation/variables.ts:341-345 — the globals "+" button can be permanently refused.

The gate runs after createVariableValidation, and that auto-increment is single-shot: checkVariableName derives one candidate from the globals table only (${nameWithoutNumber}${biggestNumber + 1}) with no retry against the namespace. The candidate is a pure function of the table, so every subsequent click produces the same refused name, and handleCreateVariable only toasts and returns.

Concrete dead end: a POU named GlobalVar plus an empty globals table → the "+" button hardcodes GlobalVar (components/_organisms/global-variables-editor/index.tsx:229-243) and the table can never get its first row. Same shape for any base name whose <base><n> lands on a POU, a data type, a list, a list's _TYPE, an unreadable .dt, or one of the installed library symbols.

Suggested fix: loop the candidate while elementNameCollision(state, candidate, 'resource-global') !== null (bounded, like MAX_AUTO_INCREMENT_ITERATIONS), or pass a nameTaken predicate into createVariableValidation so the auto-increment sees the whole namespace rather than just the table.

3. components/_features/[workspace]/create-element/element-card/index.tsx:220-237 — the create form states the wrong reason for servers and remote devices.

handleCreateServer and handleCreateRemoteDevice call serverSetError('name', { type: 'already-exists' }) / remoteDeviceSetError(...) with no message and no toast, and the form renders fixed text: * Server name already exists or protocol already in use (:512-516) and * Device name already exists (:647-651).

After this PR those two actions can refuse with "Main" is already the name of a POU, … of a data type, … of a global variable list, or the unreadable-.dt message. Repro: POU named Pump, create a server named pump → the form says a server with that name exists; the user opens the servers branch, finds none, and has no way to learn the real reason.

The list and data-type handlers in the same file (:171-185, :200-215) already do this correctly, with a comment saying why — the refusal is often about a POU or a global variable list, not another data type, so the reason has to reach the user. Worth applying the same shape here: pass result.message through and render errors.name.message ?? '<existing fallback>'.

4. components/_molecules/project-tree/index.tsx:302-313 — an EtherCAT remote-device rename now fails silently.

ProjectTreeExpandableLeaf.handleRenameFile does setNewLabel(label); return on failure, with no toast. That component is what renders EtherCAT devices (components/_organisms/explorer/project.tsx:549), and before this PR remoteDeviceActions.rename had no cross-kind check, so the branch was effectively unreachable. Now renaming an EtherCAT bus onto a POU / data type / list / server name snaps the label back with no explanation.

ProjectTreeLeaf next to it already handles this via reportFailedRename (:619-627), whose own comment makes the position explicit: "Snapping the label back is not an explanation: element names share one namespace, so a refusal usually names a POU, data type or list the user cannot see from here." toast is already a module import at :41, so this is a two-line change.

5. components/_organisms/global-variables-editor/index.tsx:358-364 — the code-view gate re-validates rows the commit does not touch.

commitCode loops over every parsed variable with no ignoring and throws on the first collision. Global names were never gated before this PR (origin/development's createVariable has no gate and setGlobalVariables still has none), and the gate includes the whole installed library pool — PID, Scale, Ramp, Delay and friends are all refused for resource-global while isLegalIdentifier accepts them, i.e. names an existing project can already hold.

For such a project: every code-view commit is refused, including one that edits an unrelated row; handleVisualizationTypeChange:191-194 then refuses to go back to the table view (if (!success) return); and the click-outside autocommit re-fires the failure. The acceptance criterion "an existing project already carrying such a collision still opens" holds — but the project becomes uneditable through this view.

Suggested fix: skip any parsed variable whose name is already among state.project.data.configurations.resource.globalVariables (case-insensitively), so only names the commit actually introduces are gated. Also worth a title other than Syntax error at :382 for a namespace refusal.

Tests

6. store/__tests__/shared-slice.test.ts:1463leaves the file registry alone when the rename is refused passes unchanged on development, so it does not pin the bug it is named after.

On development, projectActions.updateServerName (store/slices/project/slice.ts:1705) already refuses an exact-match duplicate before any setState, and renameElement propagates that at store/slices/shared/slice.ts:210-211. So files was never corrupted on the exact-duplicate path.

The path that did corrupt it is the case-only rename, which updateServerName's === check let through: it pushed devices/servers/OldServer.json onto pendingDeletions while writing oldserver.json — the same file on a case-folding disk. That test (:1472) asserts only .ok. Moving the registry assertions there would give DOPE-600's headline criterion a test that can actually fail:

expect(state.files['OldServer']).toBeDefined()
expect(state.files['oldserver']).toBeUndefined()
expect(state.project.data.servers?.[0].name).toBe('OldServer')
expect(state.pendingDeletions).toEqual([])

7. remoteDeviceActions.rename has no action-level test for either new branch — neither the case-only refusal nor the oldName === newName no-op. The gate-level case (name-collision.test.ts:107) does not prove the action passes oldName as ignoring or that renameElement is skipped, and vitest.config.ts sets branches: 0 for store/slices/, so the coverage gate cannot catch it. The two server tests mirror over directly.

8. global-variables-editor has no test file anywhere in the repo, so the three new toast paths (:240, :268, :285) and the code-view gate (:358) are entirely unexercised — including the regression in point 5. Also missing: a test for "an existing project already carrying such a collision still opens" (it holds by construction today, since no gate runs on the open path, but nothing pins it).

Nits

  • name-collision.ts:104-116 — EtherCAT slaves are outside the pool, yet they own a files[name] entry (components/_features/[workspace]/editor/device/ethercat/index.tsx:553) and rekey editor/tabs/files on rename (shared/slice.ts:902-906), while the module header claims to cover "every kind that has a tab". ethercatDeviceActions.rename still checks only collectAllSlaveNames. Probably a follow-up card in the family rather than growth here — but the header comment should not overclaim in the meantime.
  • project-tree/index.tsx:687-697allElementNames, which feeds nextCopyName, still excludes resource globals and derived _TYPE names, so Duplicate can propose a name the widened gate refuses, forever (same pure-function problem as point 2). E.g. POU Main plus a global named Main_copy.
  • components/_molecules/global-variables-table/editable-cell.tsx:98-114 — the rename-impact modal is awaited before the new gate runs, so the user answers "rename N blocks?" and only then learns the name is taken. The illegal-identifier check at :90 runs before the modal, so the file's own convention is name-first.
  • store/slices/project/slice.ts:1110-1115 — the gate runs before the target row is resolved, so an update dispatched with a stale rowId reports Variable already exists: … instead of Variable not found.

Two claims in the PR description that the code does not support

  • "A resource global can no longer be named after … an unparsed .dt file" — it can. name-collision.ts:183 gates that check on WORKSPACE_ELEMENT[kind], which excludes resource-global, and name-collision.test.ts:136 asserts gate('broken','resource-global') is null. The code looks defensible to me — the transpiler emits from project.data.dataTypes and unparsedDataTypeFiles is never referenced under src/backend, so the file is echoed to disk but not compiled — so it is the description that needs the correction, along with the pre-existing comment at name-collision.ts:219-220 that asserts the opposite.
  • "updateServerName queues the old file for deletion, so a no-op rename would mark the server's own file deleted on the next save" (shared/slice.ts:702-703, and the same for devices at :790-791) — it would not: updateServerName:1705 and updateRemoteDeviceName:2027 already refuse an identical name before reaching the pendingDeletions.push. The early return is still worth keeping (it makes the no-op contract explicit and returns ok: true instead of a spurious failure), but the justification is not the one written down, and expect(pendingDeletions).toEqual([]) at shared-slice.test.ts:1478 cannot fail as a result.

Finally, "Validated manually … every refusal in both directions" is a bit stronger than what is there: point 1 is a direction that is not refused, and points 3, 4 and 5 are paths where the refusal does not reach the user.

…, DOPE-600)

The derived `<list>_TYPE` check now also looks at resource globals, so the list/global pair is refused in either creation order. EtherCAT slaves join the workspace namespace as their own kind: slave rename, scan-bus add, repository add and bus duplication go through the gate, `generateUniqueSlaveName` takes a predicate so the add paths keep auto-suffixing, and the other workspace kinds refuse a slave's name.

The globals "+" button feeds the gate into the row validator's auto-increment instead of refusing the candidate, so a POU holding the seed name no longer blocks the table forever. The code view gates only the names a commit introduces, so a project that already carries a global named after a library symbol stays editable through it. The server and remote device create forms, the EtherCAT bus rename and the globals table cell now report the gate's reason, the cell before the rename-impact modal; Duplicate picks its `_copy` name through the gate; `updateVariable` reports a missing row before judging its name.

Tests pin the case-only rename against the file registry for servers and devices, cover the auto-increment loop and its bound, the code-view helper, the slave paths, and a project that already carries a collision still loading.

Mirror of the reply on https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/746 — same commit on both.

Thanks — all verified and addressed in the follow-up commit; the same commit sits on both PRs.

Must fix

  1. Derived _TYPE arm now has the resource-global case with the wording you and CodeRabbit proposed. name-collision.test.ts covers both creation orders (Plant_TYPE as a global first, then list Plant; and the reverse).

Should fix
2. createVariableValidation takes a nameTaken predicate and loops the candidate (bounded by MAX_AUTO_INCREMENT_ITERATIONS, like the location walk). createVariable passes the gate for global scope, so the "+" button steps past POU / type / list / library names the same way it steps past its own table. Your dead end is a test now: POU GlobalVar + empty table → first row is GlobalVar0. The post-validator gate stays as a backstop for the bound.
3. handleCreateServer / handleCreateRemoteDevice pass result.message into setError and toast it; the form renders errors.name.message ?? <old fallback>, same shape as the list and data-type handlers.
4. ProjectTreeExpandableLeaf.handleRenameFile toasts res.message before snapping the label back.
5. commitCode now calls newGlobalNameCollision(state, names), which skips every name the globals table already holds (case-insensitively) and gates only what the commit introduces, so a project carrying PID / Scale stays editable through the code view and can return to the table. The refusal toast is titled Variable already exists, not Syntax error.

Tests
6. The exact-duplicate registry test is gone; the case-only rename test carries the files / element name / pendingDeletions assertions instead, for servers and for remote devices.
7. remoteDeviceActions.rename has the case-only, same-name no-op and cross-kind (POU) cases at action level.
8. The code-view gate is a pure helper (newGlobalNameCollision) with its own tests, plus a store test that a project already carrying a server/list collision loads with both present. I did not add a component test for global-variables-editor: it means Monaco in jsdom, and the three toast paths are one-line handlers over createVariable's result, which is covered at the store. If you want that harness I would rather do it as its own card.

Nits — all taken: EtherCAT slaves are now a kind of their own in the gate (ethercat-slave, workspace namespace only): ethercatDeviceActions.rename, scan-bus add, repository add and bus duplication go through it, generateUniqueSlaveName accepts a predicate so the add paths keep auto-suffixing, and POUs / types / lists / servers / devices refuse a slave's name. João preferred that over a follow-up card, so the header comment describes what the module actually covers; nextCopyName picks the _copy name through elementNameCollision for the leaf's kind (plus slave names), so Duplicate cannot propose a name the gate refuses; the globals table cell checks the gate before askRenameBlocks; updateVariable looks the row up first and reports Variable not found on a stale rowId.

Description — corrected: an unreadable .dt is not in a global's way (echoed to disk, never compiled; the comment that said otherwise is gone), and the no-op rename early return is there because updateServerName would otherwise match the element against itself and report a duplicate — not because of a deletion. The pre-existing pendingDeletions assertion moved to the case-only test where it can fail. The "every refusal in both directions" line is reworded, and the mirror link was restored (the Jira GitHub app had rewritten the body over my first edit).

Re-validated on the fixture plc-projects/dope-598-600-name-gate. Full suites with coverage green in both repos; compare-surfaces reports 0 diffs.

Read NameCollisionState through Zustand selectors.

nextCopyName uses useOpenPLCStore.getState() to obtain the project, unparsedDataTypeFiles, and libraries required by elementNameCollision. Read these fields with useOpenPLCStore(...) selectors instead of using getState() inside the component.

Use useOpenPLCStore selectors for collision checks.

elementNameCollision and newGlobalNameCollision require only NameCollisionState. Select project, unparsedDataTypeFiles, and libraries with useOpenPLCStore instead of calling useOpenPLCStore.getState() in both components. Alternatively, expose collision validation as a store action.

Remove the NameTaken type assertion.

The typeof existing === 'function' branch narrows existing to NameTaken. Assign it directly and create the Set only for the iterable branch.

Proposed change
 export function generateUniqueSlaveName(base: string, existing: Iterable<string> | NameTaken): string {
-  const names = typeof existing === 'function' ? null : new Set(existing)
-  const taken: NameTaken = names ? (name) => names.has(name) : (existing as NameTaken)
+  let taken: NameTaken

Replace as never with a typed ConfiguredEtherCATDevice fixture.

updateEthercatConfig requires EthercatConfig.devices to contain complete ConfiguredEtherCATDevice values. Add the required fields or use a typed fixture factory. The cast hides missing fields and violates the type-assertion convention.

Mirror of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/746 — I verified the two diffs are byte-identical, so this review applies verbatim.

Review round closed — approving

I verified every item against the code on the follow-up commit rather than taking the summary, and all of it holds.

Must fix

  1. The derived _TYPE arm now carries the resource-global case (name-collision.ts:216), and the matrix test covers both creation orders — a global named Plant_TYPE before the list Plant, and the reverse. The order-dependent hole is closed.

Should fix
2. createVariableValidation takes a nameTaken predicate, folds it into taken() and now loops the candidate under MAX_AUTO_INCREMENT_ITERATIONS (variables.ts:332,342,346). The predicate is passed only for scope === 'global', so no other caller changes shape, and the post-validator gate stays as a bound backstop. The dead end I described is a test now: POU GlobalVar plus an empty table yields GlobalVar0.
3. handleCreateServer / handleCreateRemoteDevice pass result.message into setError and toast it, and the form renders errors.name.message ?? <the old fallback> (:524, :659) — the same shape the list and data-type handlers already used.
4. ProjectTreeExpandableLeaf.handleRenameFile toasts the reason before snapping the label back, so the EtherCAT bus rename no longer fails silently.
5. commitCode goes through newGlobalNameCollision, which skips every name the globals table already holds (case-insensitively) and gates only what the commit introduces. A project carrying PID or Scale stays editable through the code view and can return to the table, and the refusal is titled Variable already exists instead of Syntax error.

Tests
6. The exact-duplicate registry test is gone and the assertions moved onto the path that actually corrupted the registry: the case-only rename test now pins files, the element name and pendingDeletions, for servers and for remote devices.
7. remoteDeviceActions.rename has the case-only, same-name no-op and cross-kind cases at action level.
8. The code-view gate became a pure helper with its own four-case describe — including one that proves the skip is real (gate('Scale', 'resource-global') refuses while check('Scale', 'Level') passes) — plus a store test that a project already carrying a server/list collision loads with both elements present.

Declining the global-variables-editor component test is fine by me: Monaco in jsdom is a harness, not a test, and the substantive half of that item became a tested pure helper. Worth its own card rather than this PR.

On the EtherCAT slaves. That was a nit and it came back as a new kind in the gate, wired through ethercatDeviceActions.rename, scan-bus add, repository add and bus duplication, with generateUniqueSlaveName taking a predicate so the add paths keep auto-suffixing. Scope growth inside a review round is the thing I would normally push back on, but it arrived with real coverage — the kind matrix, its own same-kind message, the case-only rule, the unreadable .dt case, eleven action-level cases for the rename and slave duplication in element-duplicate.test.ts. Judged on the code, it is better than the follow-up card I suggested.

Gates. CI green on both PRs. I compared the two diffs directly, not only via the sync check: byte-identical. The description corrections are real — the mirror link is back, the claim about an unreadable .dt standing in a global's way is now stated correctly as the opposite, and the no-op rename is justified by the mechanism that actually applies rather than by a deletion that never happened.

Two leftovers, neither blocking

  • collectAllSlaveNames no longer has a production caller: allElementNames is gone and the EtherCAT paths use the gate predicate, so only the definition and its six tests remain, while namedElements collects slaves inline. Worth deleting, or keeping with a line saying why if something outside the shared surface still uses it.
  • One new as in unique-slave-name.ts:40 (existing as NameTaken), avoidable by restructuring the ternary so the narrowing carries. The commit's other casts are as const or test fixtures.

Both are cosmetic and fine as a follow-up. Approving.
