Critical-path piece that turns a fresh TCP stream into an
authenticated session. With this slice landed, an `AsbClient` can
now do `send_preamble().await? -> connect().await? -> register_items()`
end-to-end against a peer.
Operations API additions:
* `build_connect_request_body(connection_id, public_key)` — first op
on a fresh session. **Unsigned** (no ConnectionValidator header)
because the authenticator hasn't received the service key yet.
Wire shape: `<ConnectRequest xmlns="…messages/20111111">
<ConnectionId>{guid-text}</ConnectionId>
<ConsumerPublicKey><Data>{pubkey-bytes}</Data></ConsumerPublicKey>
</ConnectRequest>` per `AsbContracts.cs:78-86`.
* `build_authenticate_me_request_body(data, iv)` — second op,
**one-way + signed with `forceHmac=true`** per `MxAsbDataClient.cs
:106-111`. Carries the encrypted `local_pub || remote_pub` blob
produced by F23's `create_authentication_data()`.
* `ConnectResponse { service_public_key, service_authentication_data,
connection_lifetime }` + `AuthenticationDataBytes { data, iv }`.
* `decode_connect_response(body, dict)` — extracts ServicePublicKey
(required), optional ServiceAuthenticationData, optional
ConnectionLifetime. The lifetime's `:V2` suffix is what F23
inspects to toggle Apollo (raw AES) vs Baktun (deflate-then-AES)
encryption.
Client API addition:
* `AsbClient::connect()` — orchestrates the full handshake:
1. Build + send ConnectRequest (unsigned) carrying our DH public
key + connection-id GUID.
2. Decode ConnectResponse.
3. `authenticator.accept_connect_response(...)` — feeds the
service public key + lifetime into F23 so it derives the
shared secret and picks Apollo/Baktun.
4. `authenticator.create_authentication_data()` — encrypts
`local_pub || remote_pub` under the derived AES key.
5. Send AuthenticateMeRequest (one-way, signed with HMAC-SHA1
forced).
Returns the `ConnectResponse` so callers can inspect the
negotiated connection lifetime.
6 new tests:
* ConnectRequest carries hyphenated GUID + raw public-key bytes.
* AuthenticateMe carries Data + IV bytes in order.
* ConnectResponse round-trip with all optional fields populated.
* ConnectResponse round-trip without optional fields.
* ConnectResponse decoder surfaces MissingField when
ServicePublicKey is absent.
* End-to-end client::connect handshake via `tokio::io::duplex`
peer that synthesises a ConnectResponse using bob's public key
(so DH shared-secret derivation actually works) and drains the
AuthenticateMe one-way SizedEnvelope.
Wire-byte caveat documented inline: WCF XML serialization may add
`xsi:type` attributes / distinct namespaces around <PublicKey> /
<AuthenticationData>; this builder ships the simplest plausible
shape and the live-probe iteration will reconcile.

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).
