Joseph Doherty 321b7963a4 [M5] mxaccess-asb: F25 step 6 — Connect/AuthenticateMe handshake
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.

mxaccess (Rust port)

Native Rust replacement for AVEVA / Wonderware MXAccess. See ../design/ for the architectural specification, ../src/ for the .NET reference (the executable spec), and ../CLAUDE.md for project-wide rules.

Status

M0 — Workspace skeleton. Stub types compile; nothing is implemented yet. See ../design/60-roadmap.md for the M0M6 milestone plan.
