Live run of `cargo run -p mxaccess --example asb-subscribe` against
the local AVEVA install (with DH params + passphrase loaded from
Setup-LiveProbeEnv.ps1 + Get-AsbPassphrase.ps1) surfaced two concrete
gaps in the subscription-path response decoders:
1. `CreateSubscriptionResponse` returns subscription_id = 0 — the
server almost certainly assigns a real Int64, but
decode_create_subscription_response can't locate the
`<SubscriptionId>` element. Likely a dict-id our F30 post-pass
doesn't resolve for that specific element name.
2. `AddMonitoredItemsResponse` decode fails with MissingField
"Status". The wire shape needs a capture-and-diff vs the .NET
probe's subscription path.
Once subscribe-side ops are issued, the channel desyncs — subsequent
read() on the same session fails with the same MissingField error,
suggesting NBFX framing state may also be out of sync.
The F26 stream API itself (AsbSession::subscribe → Stream<Item =
Result<MonitoredItemValue, Error>>) is complete and unit-tested
(commit f2f22df). This followup just captures the live-wire
reconciliation work that's still required to make the subscribe
path actually return data against MxDataProvider. Once F33 closes,
the last M5 live-wire gap is resolved.
P2 — not blocking M5 closeout; blocks the Subscribe demo.
The asb-subscribe.rs example stays in its working Read-loop form
(no regression). When F33 lands, the example can be promoted to
demonstrate the full subscribe flow.

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 |
MxStatus, error types, panic/cancellation policy |
60-roadmap.md |
Milestones M0..M6, validation strategy |
70-risks-and-open-questions.md |
Parity gaps, unproven flows, cross-platform constraints |
dependencies.md |
Cross- and within-milestone parallelism map; agent budget per phase |
review.md |
Adversarial review log (BLOCKER/MAJOR/MINOR/NIT findings, all resolved) |
prompt.md |
/loop driver prompt for autonomous M2–M6 execution |
followups.md |
Open / resolved deferred work items; auto-triaged by prompt.md Step 0 (created on first /loop run if missing) |
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).
