dtrentin 60ce1c9d57 feat(15-logging): NLog structured logging — all output through NLog (v0.5 complete)
Phase 15 complete (2 plans):
- 15-01: NLog 5.2.8 + nlog.config (rolling file daily/7d + console); logger fields in
  FanucMachine, HeidenhainMachine, SiemensMachine, MitsubishiMachine, Lsv2Client, Program.cs;
  SetState event handler catches → _log.Warn; cleanup catches annotated; ISS-003/ISS-004 closed
- 15-02: All Console.Write/WriteLine in Program.cs replaced with _log.Info (103 calls);
  nlog.config console target layout=${message}, levels=Info only — Warn/Error file-only;
  operator console output identical; every interaction now timestamped in log file

Milestone v0.5 Operational Quality complete.

## Goal Add NLog file+console logging and surface silent exception swallows in event handler paths across all 4 machine classes.

Purpose

ISS-003: 18 silent catch {} blocks mean production failures are undiagnosable. ISS-004: all output goes to console only — operators cannot send a log file for support. Adding NLog with a rolling file target gives a persistent record for debugging.

Output

  • nlog.config — rolling file log + console, next to EXE
  • NLog wired into 5 production classes via LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger()
  • Event handler catch blocks changed from silent swallow to _log.Warn
  • Dispose/cleanup catch blocks annotated as intentionally silent (no logging — Dispose must not rethrow)
  • Program.cs error catch blocks emit _log.Error in addition to existing Console.WriteLine

<acceptance_criteria>

AC-1: NLog config present and wired

Given nlog.config is placed next to NcProgramManager.exe
When the application starts
Then NLog initialises without throwing (no "NLog configuration file not found" in console)
And a logs/ subdirectory is created containing nc_program_manager.log

AC-2: Event handler exceptions reach the log

Given a StateChanged handler that throws
When SetState() fires in any machine class
Then the exception is caught and logged at WARN level (not silently swallowed)

AC-3: Dispose cleanup catch blocks are annotated

Given all Dispose() and disconnect cleanup catch blocks
When reviewed in code
Then each has a // cleanup — intentionally swallowed comment (no log call — Dispose must not rethrow)

AC-4: Program.cs errors reach the log file

Given any unhandled exception in Scarica, Invia, or arg parsing
When the catch block runs
Then _log.Error(ex, ...) is called BEFORE Console.WriteLine
And all existing Console.WriteLine calls remain unchanged

</acceptance_criteria>

Task 1: Add NLog package and nlog.config packages.config, NcProgramManager.csproj, nlog.config 1. In `packages.config`, add inside ``: ```xml ```
2. In `NcProgramManager.csproj`, inside the existing `<ItemGroup>` that contains `<Reference>` entries, add:
   ```xml
   <Reference Include="NLog, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5120e14c03d0593c, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
     <HintPath>packages\NLog.5.2.8\lib\net46\NLog.dll</HintPath>
     <Private>True</Private>
   </Reference>
   ```

   Also in `NcProgramManager.csproj`, inside the `<ItemGroup>` that contains `<Compile>` entries (or a new `<ItemGroup>`), add:
   ```xml
   <Content Include="nlog.config">
     <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
   </Content>
   ```

3. Create `nlog.config` in the project root:
   ```xml
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
   <nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         autoReload="true"
         throwConfigExceptions="true">

     <targets>
       <target xsi:type="File"
               name="logfile"
               fileName="${basedir}/logs/nc_program_manager.log"
               archiveFileName="${basedir}/logs/nc_program_manager.{#}.log"
               archiveEvery="Day"
               archiveNumbering="Date"
               maxArchiveFiles="7"
               layout="${longdate} ${level:uppercase=true:padding=5} [${logger:shortName=true}] ${message}${onexception:${newline}${exception:format=tostring}}" />

       <target xsi:type="Console"
               name="console"
               layout="${level:uppercase=true:padding=5} [${logger:shortName=true}] ${message}" />
     </targets>

     <rules>
       <logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="logfile" />
       <logger name="*" minlevel="Warn"  writeTo="console" />
     </rules>

   </nlog>
   ```

Constraints:
- NLog package version is 5.2.8 — supports .NET 4.6+ (project is 4.7.2)
- lib/net46 is the highest .NET Framework target in the NLog 5.x package
- Console rule minlevel=Warn: logger output must NOT duplicate user-facing Console.WriteLine in Program.cs
- `throwConfigExceptions="true"` surfaces config errors at startup rather than silently failing
- Read packages.config: NLog 5.2.8 entry present - Read NcProgramManager.csproj: Reference to NLog with HintPath present; nlog.config Content entry with CopyToOutputDirectory present - Read nlog.config: file target with archiving, console target, two rules present AC-1 satisfied: NLog wired into build; nlog.config copied to output directory on build Task 2: Wire logger into machine classes and fix event handler catches Cnc/Fanuc/FanucMachine.cs, Cnc/Heidenhain/HeidenhainMachine.cs, Cnc/Heidenhain/Lsv2Client.cs, Cnc/Siemens/SiemensMachine.cs, Cnc/Mitsubishi/MitsubishiMachine.cs For each of the 5 files:
**A. Add using directive at top:**
```csharp
using NLog;
```

**B. Add logger field** inside the class, after existing private fields:
```csharp
private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
```

**C. Fix event handler catch blocks** — there is one `SetState` method in each machine class containing:
```csharp
try { h(this, next); } catch { }
```
Replace with:
```csharp
try { h(this, next); } catch (Exception ex) { _log.Warn(ex, "StateChanged handler threw"); }
```

**D. Annotate Dispose() cleanup catches** — do NOT add logging (Dispose must not rethrow):
```csharp
try { DisconnectAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }
try { _gate.Dispose(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }
```

**For Lsv2Client specifically (no SetState, no _gate):**
- Add `using NLog;` and `private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();`
- In `Connect()` timeout branch: `try { _tcp.Close(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }`
- In `Disconnect()`: annotate all 3 cleanup catches with `/* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */`
- Add connect/disconnect info logging:
  ```csharp
  // At start of Connect(), before _tcp = new TcpClient():
  _log.Info("Connecting to {0}:{1}", _config.IpAddress, _config.Port);
  // After successful Login():
  _log.Info("Connected to {0}", _config.IpAddress);
  // At start of Disconnect():
  _log.Info("Disconnecting from {0}", _config.IpAddress);
  ```

Constraints:
- Do NOT add logging inside `Dispose()` or disposal catch blocks — Dispose must not throw and logging adds failure risk
- Do NOT change `catch (Exception ex) { _errors.Add(...); }` blocks — already handled correctly
- Do NOT change `catch (OperationCanceledException)` blocks — correct behavior
- Logger is `static readonly` (one per class type, not per instance) — NLog standard pattern
- Do NOT add `using NLog;` if already present (check first)
- Grep for `LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger()` in all 5 files — must appear exactly once per file - Grep for `try { h(this, next); } catch { }` — must return 0 results (all replaced) - Grep for `_log.Warn(ex` — must appear in FanucMachine, HeidenhainMachine, SiemensMachine, MitsubishiMachine - Read Lsv2Client.cs: verify info logging at connect/disconnect, cleanup catch annotations present AC-2 and AC-3 satisfied: event handler exceptions logged at WARN; cleanup catches annotated as intentional Task 3: Add file logging to Program.cs error catch blocks Program.cs 1. Add `using NLog;` to the using directives at top of Program.cs.
2. Add logger field inside the `Program` class (or at the start of Main — static field):
   ```csharp
   private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
   ```

3. In the arg parsing catch block (currently around line 19):
   ```csharp
   catch (Exception e)
   {
       _log.Error(e, "Arg parsing failed");
       Console.Write("Gestore Programmi FANUC: ");
       Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
       // ... rest unchanged
   ```

4. In the `Scarica` catch block (currently around line 157):
   ```csharp
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
       _log.Error(ex, "Scarica failed");
       Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
       // ... rest unchanged
   ```

5. In the `Invia` catch block (currently around line 253):
   ```csharp
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
       _log.Error(ex, "Invia failed");
       Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
       // ... rest unchanged
   ```

Constraints:
- `_log.Error(ex, ...)` MUST come BEFORE `Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)` — log first, then display
- ALL existing Console.WriteLine calls remain exactly as-is — do not modify or remove any
- Do NOT add logging for license failure (`Console.WriteLine("Licenza ERRATA")`) — that's a known condition, not an exception
- Do NOT add a `NLog.LogManager.Shutdown()` call — not needed for a short-lived console EXE
- Read Program.cs: `using NLog;` present - Read Program.cs: `_log` field present - Grep for `_log.Error` in Program.cs — must appear 3 times - Grep for `Console.WriteLine` in Program.cs — must still be 97 (unchanged count) AC-4 satisfied: all 3 Program.cs error paths log to file before Console.WriteLine; no Console.WriteLine removed

DO NOT CHANGE

  • Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs — public key constant must not be modified
  • Licensing/MachineFingerprint.cs — fixed in Phase 13; not in scope
  • NcProgramManager.Tests/ — no test changes in this phase
  • Cnc/**/ catch blocks already handling exceptions via _errors.Add(...) — correct, leave alone
  • All existing Console.WriteLine calls — supplemented only, never replaced

SCOPE LIMITS

  • No logging inside Dispose() or cleanup catch paths — comment only
  • No replacement of user-facing Console.WriteLine — file logging supplements via NLog
  • No logging for known control-flow conditions (license failure, validation failure) — only unexpected exceptions
  • No async/await changes — ISS-002 is a separate phase
  • No NuGet package other than NLog — no wrapper abstraction, no DI container
