Adds `MxAsbClient.Probe --dump-signed-xml` flag that builds five ConnectedRequest shapes (AuthenticateMe, Disconnect, KeepAlive, RegisterItemsRequest, UnregisterItemsRequest) with deterministic field values and prints `AsbSerialization.ToXml(...)` output. The output is exactly what `AsbSystemAuthenticator.Sign` HMACs (`AsbSystemAuthenticator.cs:79`), so the Rust port's canonical-XML emitter must produce byte-identical bytes for HMAC parity. Captured fixtures land under `rust/crates/mxaccess-asb/tests/fixtures/signed-xml/`: - `authenticate-me.xml` — 1000 bytes - `disconnect.xml` — 980 bytes - `keep-alive.xml` — 705 bytes - `register-items.xml` — 1068 bytes - `unregister-items.xml` — 1072 bytes Plus a `README.md` documenting 10 inferred XmlSerializer rules (element name = class name not WrapperName, field order = declaration order not [MessageBodyMember.Order], `[XmlType.Namespace]` on field type causes per-child xmlns redeclaration on the children not the wrapper, `*Specified` pattern controls Xxx emission, CRLF + 2-space indent + utf-16 declaration but UTF-8 bytes fed to HMAC). `.gitattributes` marks the XML fixtures as binary (`*.xml -text`) so neither `core.autocrlf` nor `text` filters can rewrite the byte content — CRLF is part of the canonical form and must survive round-trip through Git untouched. `MxAsbClient.csproj` gains `<InternalsVisibleTo Include="MxAsbClient .Probe" />` so the probe can reach the internal `AsbSerialization` helper without making it public. Workspace: 702 tests pass (no Rust changes — fixtures only). F28 follow-up updated with the captured fixtures + the inferred rules.

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).
