Ports the proven subset of `[MC-NBFX]` to `mxaccess-asb-nettcp::nbfx`.
Token model: Element { prefix, name } / EndElement / Attribute /
DefaultNamespace / NamespaceDeclaration / Text. Element + attribute
names can be inline UTF-8, an `[MC-NBFS]` static-dictionary id (via
F22's `lookup_static`), or a per-session `DynamicDictionary` id.
Text records covered: Empty (0xA8), Zero (0x80), One (0x82), Bool
(0x84/0x86 + 0xB4), Int8 (0x88), Int16 (0x8A), Int32 (0x8C), Int64
(0x8E), Chars (0x98/0x9A/0x9C — width variant chosen automatically by
payload length), DictionaryText (0xAA — both static and dynamic refs).
`*WithEndElement` collapse is automatic: a `Text → EndElement` pair
encodes as the `+1` record byte (e.g. `EmptyTextWithEndElement = 0xA9`,
`TrueTextWithEndElement = 0x87`). The decoder splits the implicit
EndElement back out so consumers see the same token stream regardless
of which wire form was used.
Element variants covered: ShortElement (0x40), Element (0x41 with
prefix string), ShortDictionaryElement (0x42), DictionaryElement
(0x43). Prefix-letter family (0x44-0x77) deferred — emit the long
form for now.
Attribute variants covered: ShortAttribute (0x04), Attribute (0x05),
ShortDictionaryAttribute (0x06), DictionaryAttribute (0x07), plus
xmlns variants (0x08/0x09).
15 new unit tests cover the dynamic dictionary, every supported
element/attribute/xmlns/text record form (including round-trip),
explicit byte pinning for the collapse behavior, Chars width-variant
selection, unknown-record rejection, and truncated-payload rejection.
Records left for follow-up: Decimal, UniqueId, TimeSpan, Float/Double
text, DateTime text, Bytes8/16/32, QNameDictionary, the 0x0C-0x25
prefix-dict-attribute / 0x26-0x3F prefix-attribute / 0x44-0x77
prefix-element families. None of these are on the proven ASB path.
With F21 landed, the M5 framing + encoder layer (streams A+B+C+D and
the F24 codec) is complete. F25 (mxaccess-asb IASBIDataV2 client) and
F26 (Session over AsbTransport) remain.

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).
