docs(audit): M17 AJAX controls fidelity audit report

Forge audited all 6 new controls against .NET Framework 4.8.1 API:
- Timer: 100% property/event coverage
- ScriptManager: 41% (acceptable for no-op stub)
- ScriptManagerProxy: 50% (acceptable for no-op stub)
- UpdatePanel: 80% property coverage
- UpdateProgress: 100% with 2 minor HTML gaps
- Substitution: 100% with Blazor adaptation

5 follow-up items documented (none blocking).

 **Key pattern learned:** AJAX controls split cleanly into two categories: (1) functional components that change Blazor behavior (Timer, UpdatePanel, UpdateProgress) and (2) pure migration stubs that render nothing (ScriptManager, ScriptManagerProxy, Substitution). The stub pattern is sound — accept-but-ignore properties to prevent compilation errors during migration.

+### Summary: M17 Formal Fidelity Audit (2026-02-28)
+
+**By:** Forge
+**What:** Full Web Forms fidelity audit of all 6 M17 controls against Microsoft Learn .NET Framework 4.8.1 API documentation. Report saved to `planning-docs/M17-CONTROL-AUDIT.md`.
+
+**Property coverage by control:**
+- Timer: 2/2 (100%) — Interval, Enabled. OnTick event 1/1.
+- ScriptManager: 7/17 (41%) — Appropriate for no-op stub. Only declarative-markup properties needed.
+- ScriptManagerProxy: 2/4 core (50%) — Scripts and Services collections present. Service manager properties omitted (no Blazor equivalent).
+- UpdatePanel: 4/5 (80%) — Only `Triggers` missing (unnecessary in Blazor's rendering model). ContentTemplate→ChildContent is intentional adaptation.
+- UpdateProgress: 4/4 (100%) — All control-specific properties present with correct defaults.
+- Substitution: 1/1 (100%) — MethodName preserved, SubstitutionCallback added as Blazor adaptation.
+
+**5 follow-up issues identified:**
+1. ScriptManager `EnablePartialRendering` default should be `true` (currently `false`)
+2. ScriptManager missing `Scripts` collection (only on Proxy)
+3. UpdateProgress `CssClass` not rendered on output `<div>` — medium severity
+4. UpdateProgress non-dynamic mode missing `display:block;` prefix
+5. ScriptReference only has 3 of ~8 WF properties
+
+**All 3 enums** (ScriptMode, UpdatePanelRenderMode, UpdatePanelUpdateMode) verified as exact int-value matches with Web Forms originals.

+# Decision: M17 Audit Findings — Follow-Up Required
+
+**Author:** Forge
+**Date:** 2026-02-28
+**Scope:** M17 AJAX / Migration Helper Controls
+
+## Context
+
+Completed formal Web Forms fidelity audit of all 6 M17 controls against Microsoft Learn .NET Framework 4.8.1 API docs. Full report at `planning-docs/M17-CONTROL-AUDIT.md`.
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. UpdateProgress CssClass rendering is a fidelity bug (Medium priority)
+
+`UpdateProgress` inherits `BaseStyledComponent` (which provides `CssClass`) but the `.razor` template does not apply `class="@CssClass"` to the output `<div>`. This means migrating `<asp:UpdateProgress CssClass="loading">` silently drops the class. **This should be fixed before M17 ships.**
+
+### 2. ScriptManager `EnablePartialRendering` default should be `true` (Low priority)
+
+Web Forms defaults `EnablePartialRendering` to `true`. Our stub defaults to `false` (bare `bool`). While the stub is a no-op, migrating code that reads this property gets the wrong value. Recommend changing to `= true`.
+
+### 3. No-op stub property coverage is intentionally limited
+
+ScriptManager at 41% and ScriptManagerProxy at 50% of Web Forms properties is acceptable. The missing properties are deep AJAX infrastructure (history, composite scripts, authentication service, etc.) with no Blazor equivalent. We intentionally only include properties commonly found in declarative markup.
+
+### 4. UpdatePanel `Triggers` collection deliberately omitted
+
+Web Forms' `Triggers` collection is for specifying which controls trigger partial updates. Blazor's rendering model makes this unnecessary — all Blazor rendering is already partial. This is a deliberate architectural decision, not a gap.
