Ports `Variant` (cs:1170-1241), `AsbStatus` (cs:1109-1167), `RuntimeValue`
(cs:741-791), `AsbVariantFactory.From*` (cs:1310-1429), and
`MxAsbDataClient.DecodeVariant` (cs:713-825) into `mxaccess-codec::asb_variant`.
Three layers per `docs/ASB-Variant-Wire-Format.md`:
1. `AsbVariant` — raw 2/4/4/payload header + bytes; round-trips byte-identical.
2. `DecodedVariant` — typed view with one variant per proven ASB scalar / array
(`Bool`, `Int32`, `Float`, `Double`, `String`, `DateTime`, `Duration` plus
array forms). Type ids outside the proven matrix surface as
`Unsupported { type_id, payload }` — same fallback as .NET's `_ => payload`.
3. `from_*` factories — mirror `AsbVariantFactory.FromX` exactly, setting
`length` to `payload.len()` per `cs:1431-1438`.
`AsbStatus` and `RuntimeValue` round-trip the wire layout verbatim.
Status-element walking (marker bit 7 = implicit zero, etc., per
`docs/ASB-Variant-Wire-Format.md:180-205`) is deferred to a follow-up; the
codec exposes the raw status payload bytes for now, matching .NET's
`AsbStatus.Payload = byte[]` shape.
The lib.rs `AsbVariant` / `AsbStatus` / `RuntimeValue` stubs are replaced by
the real types via `pub use`. 25 new unit tests cover the proven matrix:
scalar + array round-trip, byte layout (2/4/4/payload), `Unsupported`
fallback for declared-but-unproven types, short-frame rejection,
malformed `string[]` partial-decode preservation matching .NET behavior.

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).
