Joseph Doherty 8a0f92b6bc [M5] mxaccess: F26 step 1 — AsbTransport bridges AsbClient into Transport trait
First slice of F26. Bridges F25's working AsbClient into the M0
`mxaccess::Transport` trait that Session uses to discriminate
operations across NMX and ASB transports.

API additions:
* `mxaccess::AsbTransport<T>` — generic over the same
  AsyncRead+AsyncWrite+Unpin+Send+Sync+'static bound that AsbClient
  takes. Owns an AsbClient and exposes it via `client_mut()` /
  `into_client()`.
* `impl Transport for AsbTransport<T>`:
  - `capabilities()` — `buffered_subscribe = false`,
    `activate_suspend = false`, `operation_complete_frame = false`
    per `design/60-roadmap.md` M5 (no NMX-specific extensions on
    ASB).
  - `kind()` — `TransportKind::Asb`.

Path-dep wiring: `mxaccess` now imports `mxaccess-asb` +
`mxaccess-asb-nettcp` directly.

Compile-time `Send + Sync + 'static` assertion guards the
trait-bound contract.

2 new tests:
* `asb_transport_kind_is_asb`.
* `asb_transport_capabilities_disable_buffered_and_activate_suspend`.

Stubbed for F26 step 2:
* `Session::connect_asb` constructor that owns TCP open +
  preamble + DH handshake orchestration.
* Operation routing that maps ASB types (ItemStatus, RuntimeValue)
  back to mxaccess types (MxStatus, DataChange, MxValue).

Stubbed for F26 step 3:
* Subscription routing — Session::subscribe on ASB needs F25
  subscription operations (CreateSubscription / AddMonitoredItems
  / Publish), which are not yet implemented.

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).
