F18 plans M5 as 9 sub-followups (F18-F26 + F27 constant-time DH) per design/dependencies.md:73-89. Wave-1 streams F20-F23+F24 are parallel-safe after F19 (workspace deps). F25 (ASB client) is sequential after the framing/encoder streams. F26 (Session over AsbTransport) is sequential after F25. F19 — workspace deps for the M5 crypto + framing surface: hmac, md-5, sha1, sha2, aes, cbc, pbkdf2, flate2, rand, num-bigint, num-traits, num-integer, quick-xml, tokio-util, zeroize. Pinned to the digest 0.10 / cipher 0.4 generation matching mxaccess-rpc. F23 — ports `AsbSystemAuthenticator.cs` (167 LoC) to `mxaccess-asb-nettcp::auth`. Wire-byte parity points: .NET BigInteger little-endian two's-complement byte order with optional 0x00 sign-byte suffix; AES-128-CBC with PKCS7 padding; PBKDF2-SHA1 1000 iterations over `Convert.ToBase64String(crypto_key)` with ASCII salt "ArchestrAService"; deflate-then-AES (Baktun) vs raw-AES (Apollo) selected by `:V2` lifetime suffix; HMAC-MD5/SHA1/SHA512 negotiated per `AsbSolutionCryptoParameters.HashAlgorithm` (with `force_hmac=true` fallback to HMAC-SHA1 for unrecognised algorithms). 13 unit tests cover the cryptographic primitives + DH peer agreement + .NET byte-order round-trip + Apollo lifetime dispatch. F27 — filed for the `num-bigint` → `crypto-bigint::BoxedUint` swap once the latter exposes a stable heap-allocated `pow_mod`. Currently at parity with the .NET reference (also not constant-time).

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).
