Joseph Doherty 70feb63ea5 [M4] mxaccess: Session::subscribe + unsubscribe + Subscription handle
Lands the subscribe-path lifecycle: AdviseSupervisory + UnAdvise
round-trip via a Subscription handle. The actual DataChange stream
routing is deferred to F15.

New
- Session::subscribe(reference) -> Result<Subscription, Error> —
  resolves the tag, generates a 16-byte correlation_id via
  rand::random(), calls NmxClient::advise_supervisory. Mirrors
  MxNativeSession.SubscribeAsync (cs:250-270) minus the publisher
  Connect dance (will land alongside F15's callback routing).
- Session::unsubscribe(subscription) -> Result<(), Error> — consumes
  the handle and calls NmxClient::un_advise. Mirrors
  MxNativeSession.Unsubscribe (cs:361-381).
- Subscription { correlation_id, reference, metadata } public type
  with accessor methods. Currently a pure lifecycle handle — no
  Stream impl yet; the Stream<Item=DataChange> shape lands when F15
  wires CallbackExporter routing.
- Removed the old subscribe stub from lib.rs (was Err(Unsupported)).

Drop hazard note
- Subscription deliberately does NOT impl Drop to fire UnAdvise. The
  spawn-from-Drop pattern is the R15 hazard tracked in
  design/70-risks-and-open-questions.md. Callers must call
  Session::unsubscribe(sub).await explicitly. F15's wave-2 long-lived
  connection task will support best-effort drop-time cleanup without
  the spawn-from-Drop hazard.

Cargo.toml: added rand (for correlation_id generation).

design/followups.md: F15 added (P1, M4 wave 2 callback router).
Open followups now at 11 — slightly over the soft 10-item threshold
but no drift (F13 just resolved last iteration). Next iteration's
Step 0 triage will check whether F15 is actionable.

Tests (4 new in mxaccess; total 30)
- subscribe_then_unsubscribe round-trip via in-memory resolver +
  hand-rolled server (2 RPCs: AdviseSupervisory + UnAdvise).
- subscribe propagates non-zero AdviseSupervisory HRESULT.
- subscribe after shutdown returns EngineNotRegistered.
- two_subscribes_produce_distinct_correlation_ids — verifies the
  rand::random() correlation id generation differentiates handles.

Test count delta: 494 -> 498 (+4). All four DoD gates green.

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 M2M6 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 .cs file path in src/MxNativeCodec/, src/MxNativeClient/, or src/MxAsbClient/, or
  • a docs/*.md spec file, or
  • a captures/0NN-frida-* directory or analysis/frida/*.tsv row.

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.md for the per-phase parallelism map.
  • Driving M2M6 autonomously via /loop: prompt.md (and the followups.md triage log it maintains).
