Joseph Doherty f7139f1118 [M2/M4] mxaccess-rpc: NtlmClientContext::from_env + local_hostname (resolves F1)
Reduces open followups from 11 → 10 (back at the soft threshold).
Step 0 triage flagged F1 as resolvable now: M4's connect-path
example will need a from_env constructor anyway, and the hostname
lookup is portable enough not to need a native-libc dep.

New
- NtlmClientContext::from_env() -> Result<Self, NtlmError>: reads
  MX_RPC_USER / MX_RPC_PASSWORD / MX_RPC_DOMAIN env vars. Empty
  MX_RPC_DOMAIN is permitted (workgroup auth). Mirrors the .NET
  ManagedNtlmClientContext.FromEnvironment() at cs:41-49.
- local_hostname() -> String public helper: checks COMPUTERNAME
  (Windows) then HOSTNAME (POSIX) and returns the empty string when
  neither is set — same "unavailable" semantics as
  Environment.MachineName returning null. No gethostname(2) call,
  no unsafe, no native-libc dep. Callers needing reliable POSIX
  hostnames can pass workstation explicitly.
- NtlmError::MissingEnvVar { name: &'static str } variant.

Tests (8 new in ntlm; total 27)
- from_env three-var happy path
- from_env missing each of the three vars (3 tests)
- from_env accepts empty MX_RPC_DOMAIN
- local_hostname prefers COMPUTERNAME over HOSTNAME
- local_hostname falls back to HOSTNAME
- local_hostname returns empty when neither set
- All env-mutating tests serialize via a static ENV_LOCK Mutex inside
  EnvScope, since std::env::set_var touches process-global state and
  cargo runs #[test]s in parallel by default.

design/followups.md: F1 moved to Resolved.
Open followups: 11 → 10 (back at soft threshold).

Test count delta: 498 -> 506 (+8). All four DoD gates green.

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).
