Adds end-to-end byte-equality test against a `.NET reference fixture captured via the new `MxAsbClient.Probe --dump-deterministic-hmac` flag. All inputs are pinned (passphrase, prime, generator, private- key bytes, remote-pub bytes, message number, connection ID, AES IV, consumer-data + IV bytes), so the test reproduces .NET's exact output for every crypto step: 1. shared = remote_pub^private_key mod prime — ✅ matches 2. crypto_key = shared || passphrase_utf8 — ✅ matches 3. hmac = HMAC-SHA1(crypto_key, xml_utf8) — ✅ matches 4. aes_key = PBKDF2-SHA1(base64(crypto_key), salt, 1000, 16) — ✅ 5. encrypted_mac = AES-CBC(aes_key, iv=zeros, hmac, PKCS7) — ✅ This conclusively rules out the entire crypto stack as the source of the live AuthenticateMe `dispatcher/fault`. Our DH math, HMAC engine, PBKDF2 derivation, AES-CBC PKCS7, and crypto_key concatenation are byte-equal to .NET. The remaining live failure must come from one of: (a) wire-level ConnectionValidator NBFX shape (DataContract field names, mustUnderstand attribute, namespace), (b) WCF binary message header (action+to dict pre-pop), or (c) a subtle XmlSerializer quirk for live values that the hardcoded fixtures don't exercise (Guid format edge case, base64 line wrapping, ulong text rendering). Fixture lives at `crates/mxaccess-asb-nettcp/tests/fixtures/ deterministic-hmac/authenticate-me.kv` (KV format, ASCII hex, lines trim CRLF/LF transparently). The companion `README.md` documents the capture procedure and the per-step decomposition. The test consumes the .NET-supplied canonical XML directly from the fixture's `xml_utf8_b64` so a Rust XML emitter bug would not mask a Rust crypto bug — XML byte-equality is verified separately by `mxaccess-asb::xml_canonical::tests` against the `signed-xml/*.xml` fixtures. Workspace: 710 unit tests pass (was 709 + 1 new). Clippy clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
design/ — Rust port architectural plan
This folder is the design contract for the Rust replacement of AVEVA/Wonderware MXAccess. It is the gap between the .NET reference in src/ and the Rust crates that will be written under a sibling rust/ workspace (per CLAUDE.md).
The folder is structured as a small set of focused documents. Read in order; each builds on the previous.
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
00-overview.md |
Mission, two-layer goal, architectural principles, non-goals |
10-raw-layer.md |
Byte-accurate raw MXAccess layer (codec + transport + session) |
20-async-layer.md |
Idiomatic Tokio async layer on top of the raw layer |
30-crate-topology.md |
Cargo workspace, crates, dependencies, build/test commands |
40-protocol-invariants.md |
Bill of materials: IIDs, opnums, envelope/handle bytes |
50-error-model.md |

The design is grounded in the .NET reference at src/ and the protocol artifacts in docs/, analysis/, and captures/. Do not introduce protocol behavior in these documents that is not already proven in the reference. When adding a new claim about wire format, cite either:
- a
.csfile path insrc/MxNativeCodec/,src/MxNativeClient/, orsrc/MxAsbClient/, or - a
docs/*.mdspec file, or - a
captures/0NN-frida-*directory oranalysis/frida/*.tsvrow.
This folder is documentation, not code. When the Rust workspace is created, the design here is the contract it must satisfy. When evidence in captures/ invalidates a design decision here, update the design first, then the code.
Reading order
- New contributor: 00 → 30 → 10 → 40 → 20 → 50 → 60 → 70.
- Protocol question: 40 first, then the relevant section of 10.
- API question: 20 first, then 50.
- Planning a milestone: 60 first, cross-reference 70 for blockers.
- Scheduling concurrent work:
dependencies.mdfor the per-phase parallelism map. - Driving M2–M6 autonomously via
/loop:prompt.md(and thefollowups.mdtriage log it maintains).
