docs/plans/tcp-connection-validation.md (308 lines): Plan to live-verify the RemoteTcpIntegrated and RemoteTcpCertificate transports against an actual remote AVEVA Historian. The SDK's HistorianWcfBindingFactory already builds all three bindings (CreateMdasNetTcpBinding, CreateMdasNetTcpWindowsBinding, CreateMdasNetTcpCertificateBinding) but only LocalPipe has been exercised end-to-end. Wire format is identical across transports; only WCF binding shape and credential negotiation differ. Discovery workstreams A/B/C run in parallel (SPN discovery via static IL + WCF probe; cert binding requirements via wcf-cert-probe; operator preconditions checklist). D blocks on A. Verification tracks V1-V5 also parallelize once V1 (ProbeAsync) confirms the transport is reachable. Includes risks (SPN mismatch, cert chain validation, idle disconnect, Open2 response delta, compression negotiation, time skew, false-positive empty reads), success criteria, eight open questions, and explicit out-of-scope items filed under the existing write-commands and store-forward plans. No code changes; no preconditions assumed met. Implementer must satisfy §2 preconditions (reachable remote Historian, port 32568 open, test account, SPN registered, etc.) before §4 discovery starts.
