Replace the hand-rolled CallbackExporter (TCP listener + custom
OBJREF) with a real `windows-rs` `#[implement]` COM class for
INmxSvcCallback, marshalled via CoMarshalInterface. NmxSvc validates
the callback OBJREF by calling IObjectExporter::ResolveOxid against
the local RPCSS at 127.0.0.1:135; hand-rolled OXIDs aren't registered
there, which is why RegisterEngine2 returned RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE
(1722) on every live attempt. CoMarshalInterface registers the OXID
with RPCSS automatically, so the SCM-side resolution succeeds.
Mirrors MxNativeSession.CreateRegisteredService (cs:624), which is
the .NET reference's working path:
ComObjRefProvider.MarshalInterfaceObjRef(callback,
INmxSvcCallback, DifferentMachine)
Layout:
- mxaccess-callback::dcom_sink — INmxSvcCallback + DcomCallbackSink
+ create_dcom_callback_sink_objref. Forwards inbound calls into
the same CallbackEvent::CallbackInvoked { opnum, body } shape the
legacy exporter produces, so callback_router stays path-agnostic.
- Session::from_nmx_client — branched on `windows-com`. Real DCOM
sink when on; legacy CallbackExporter when off (kept for unit
tests that run against an in-process fake NMX peer).
- SessionInner.dcom_sink_holder: Option<IUnknownHolder> — keeps the
COM ref alive for the session's lifetime; shutdown_nmx drops it.
- mxaccess-rpc + mxaccess-callback: windows-rs 0.59 → 0.62. The 0.59
#[implement] macro generates code that doesn't compile under
edition 2024; 0.62 is fixed.
Live result: cargo test -p mxaccess-compat --features
live-windows-com --test lmx_write_complete_live -- --ignored
--nocapture passes end-to-end. RegisterEngine2 OK, write
round-trips, OnWriteComplete fires with the captured MxStatus shape.
Unblocks F49 step 5; F55 marked Resolved in design/followups.md.

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).
