Closes the wire-side gap left by capture 077 in F44's R5 walk. The Frida
script now hooks the production LmxProxy.dll dispatchers so a future live
re-run on the AVEVA host can answer "does CLMXProxyServer issue a separate
ORPC method for Suspend/Activate, or are they synthesised client-side?"
Hooks added in `analysis/frida/mx-nmx-trace.js`:
- `LmxProxy.dll!CLMXProxyServer.Suspend` @ RVA 0x13d9c (FUN_10013d9c)
- `LmxProxy.dll!CLMXProxyServer.Activate` @ RVA 0x14028 (FUN_10014028)
Both RVAs were extracted from
`analysis/ghidra/exports/LmxProxy.dll.string-refs.tsv` rows 119/122 (the
`CLMXProxyServer::Suspend - Server Handle` / `Activate - Server Handle`
log strings each xref one function — same pattern as the existing
AdviseSupervisory hook at 0x142b4). The hooks emit `mx.suspend.begin/end`
and `mx.activate.begin/end` events with serverHandle, itemHandle, and the
`MxStatus*` out parameter decoded as 4 x int16 (Success / Category /
DetectedBy / Detail per `src/MxNativeCodec/MxStatus.cs`). Naming matches
the F46 spec's `mx.<verb>.begin / end` grep convention rather than the
generic `call.enter / leave` shape because we want to filter these out
of large traces without false positives from other LmxProxy entrypoints.
No `Resume` / `Reactivate` exports exist in `LmxProxy.dll` — verified
against `analysis/ghidra/exports/LmxProxy.dll.ghidra.md` (no such string
xrefs) and the decompiled `ILMXProxyServer5` / `ILMXProxyServer4`
interfaces under `analysis/decompiled-mxaccess/ArchestrA/MxAccess/`
(only Suspend and Activate are declared on the dispatch interface).
The script's top-of-file comment now carries the live re-run procedure
(rebuild MxTraceHarness x86, attach Frida with `--scenario=suspend-advised`
then `--scenario=activate-advised`, save under
`captures/NNN-frida-suspend-activate-instrumented/`, grep the new TSV for
`mx.suspend.*` / `mx.activate.*` and correlate with `nmx.enter` events
in the same time window). Live capture is intentionally deferred to the
maintainer per the F46 spec — this dev box has no AVEVA install.
`design/70-risks-and-open-questions.md` R5 status updated:
- Title flag `(filed as F45)` -> `(filed as F46, hook landed pending live re-run)`
(the docs/M6-buffered-evidence.md footnote referenced F45 from before
F45 / F46 were de-conflicted by commit 2120dfa).
- New "Next step - F46" paragraph documents the two hooked RVAs, the
out-param decode shape, and the verified absence of Resume / Reactivate
symbols.
- "Current best answer" paragraph re-points the residual ORPC question
at F46.

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).
