Two related closures in one commit:
1. Session-level wrapper around F12: new
`mxaccess::Session::connect_nmx_auto(ntlm_factory, options,
resolver, recovery)` gated on a new `mxaccess/windows-com` feature
(which propagates `mxaccess-nmx/windows-com`). Drives
`NmxClient::create` (the F12 COM-activation factory) for the
`(host, port, service_ipid)` discovery, then funnels into the
shared post-NMX-bind orchestration. Refactored `connect_nmx` to
extract steps 1+2+4+5 into a private `from_nmx_client` helper —
both `connect_nmx` and `connect_nmx_auto` reuse it so the
`CallbackExporter` + router + `RegisterEngine2` + heartbeat policy
stays in one place. The .NET `MxNativeSession.Open` shape
(`MxNativeSession.cs:127-147`) is now reproduced end-to-end on
Windows with `windows-com` on — callers no longer pre-resolve
`(addr, service_ipid)` by hand.
`connect_nmx`'s doc comment updated to drop the stale "F12 not yet
wired" note. `parse_bracketed_host_port` in mxaccess-nmx gets a
`cfg_attr(not(...), allow(dead_code))` so the default-feature
build stays warning-clean.
2. F32 closed via option (b) of its own resolve criterion: the four
missing types (Float / Double / DateTime / Duration) are gated on
Galaxy-side template provisioning that's outside the Rust port's
scope. The deployed test Galaxy on this host only has
mx_data_type ∈ {1=Bool, 2=Int32, 5=String}; we cannot exercise
the missing types without authoring new template attributes in
the Aveva console (a manual platform-engineering task). The
three-type live verification at commit 9063f10 satisfies the M5
DoD bullet for what is deployable. F18's M5 status block updated
to reflect F32-resolved.
Workspace: 718 tests pass on default features (was 712 before F12,
+6 from new parse_bracketed_host_port tests). Default-feature
clippy + windows-com clippy both clean.
Closes F32 in design/followups.md and extends F12's resolution note
with the Session-level wrapper.

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).
