Public repository About/topics: align client-tester positioning and fix topic typo #749

Closed

Description

@masarray

Final public-facing repository metadata correction (owner-admin setting)

The user-facing README and GitHub Pages are already consistent with ARSAS stable v1.6.42. GitHub's separate repository About/topics metadata remains stale because the available GitHub App connector provides read access but no repository-settings write action. This is not a release/CI defect.

Exact actions in GitHub About editor

  • Replace description with: Free open-source IEC 61850 client tester for communication validation, IED discovery, MMS, Reporting, GOOSE, SMV, SCL and FAT/SAT evidence.
  • Keep homepage https://masarray.github.io/arsas/.
  • Correct topic typo protection-relat to protection-relay.
  • Review iec61850-server and iec61850-simulator as topic claims: retain only if those roles are genuinely provided as a shipped ARSAS user-facing capability (not because an engine or test dependency internally simulates servers). Do not assert a standalone server without proof.
  • Retain tested appropriate topics such as iec61850, iec61850-client, iec61850-tester, iec61850-test-tool, mms, goose, smv, sampled-values, scl, comtrade, digital-substation, relay-testing, substation-automation.
  • Read back repository metadata and archive a screenshot or dated issue comment to prove the changes were applied.

Owner action: open the repository homepage, select the edit/gear icon in the About area, update description/topics/homepage, and save.

Do not change the public stable release, canonical v1.6.42 binary identity, mainline R7/R10 gate #729, or engineering evidence to address metadata.

    Public stable release is already complete — administrative-only tracking

    Operator final decision on 25 Oct 2026: stable v1.6.42 is accepted and works on the supplied connection/QA evidence. This GitHub About/topics preference must never be described as a release-readiness blocker. Core README/landing/download and current screenshot documentation are already synchronized.

    The connected GitHub app offers repository metadata reads but no repository-settings mutation. Changing About description/topics is therefore an optional owner-admin UI action, not a failed application/website test. Leave this issue as low-priority administrative housekeeping; do not demand fresh application QA, hardware runs or a new release because of it.

    Owner-completed GitHub About/topics update — verified 2026-10-26

    The repository owner confirmed the public About/topics update was applied, and live GitHub repository metadata was independently re-read:

    • About description: Free open-source IEC 61850 client tester for communication validation, IED discovery, MMS, Reporting, GOOSE, SMV, SCL, and FAT/SAT testing.
    • Homepage: https://masarray.github.io/arsas/
    • Public repository topics now emphasize IEC 61850, client testing, MMS, GOOSE, SMV, FAT/testing and substation automation.
    • Old typo protection-relat is absent. Ambiguous iec61850-server and iec61850-simulator topics are absent.
    • Repository remains public.

    Disposition: complete. No application release modification, source engine change, or additional release QA is necessary for this GitHub metadata task.
