Joseph Doherty 88b1391ef0 feat: port session 07 — Protocol Parser, Auth extras (TPM/certidp/certstore), Internal utilities & data structures
Session 07 scope (5 features, 17 tests, ~1165 Go LOC):
- Protocol/ParserTypes.cs: ParserState enum (79 states), PublishArgument, ParseContext
- Protocol/IProtocolHandler.cs: handler interface decoupling parser from client
- Protocol/ProtocolParser.cs: Parse(), ProtoSnippet(), OverMaxControlLineLimit(),
  ProcessPub/HeaderPub/RoutedMsgArgs/RoutedHeaderMsgArgs, ClonePubArg(), GetHeader()
- tests/Protocol/ProtocolParserTests.cs: 17 tests via TestProtocolHandler stub

Auth extras from session 06 (committed separately):
- Auth/TpmKeyProvider.cs, Auth/CertificateIdentityProvider/, Auth/CertificateStore/

Internal utilities & data structures (session 06 overflow):
- Internal/AccessTimeService.cs, ElasticPointer.cs, SystemMemory.cs, ProcessStatsProvider.cs
- Internal/DataStructures/GenericSublist.cs, HashWheel.cs
- Internal/DataStructures/SubjectTree.cs, SubjectTreeNode.cs, SubjectTreeParts.cs

All 461 tests pass (460 unit + 1 integration). DB updated for features 2588-2592 and tests 2598-2614.

Summary

The client connection handler — manages individual client TCP connections, message processing, subscription management, and client lifecycle. The largest single class in the server.

Scope

Go File Features Feature IDs Go LOC
server/client.go 185 387571 5,680
server/client_proxyproto.go 10 572581 273
Total 195 5,953

.NET Classes

  • ClientConnection — client state, read/write loops, publish, subscribe, unsubscribe
  • ClientFlag — client state flags
  • ClientInfo — client metadata
  • ProxyProtocolAddress — PROXY protocol v1/v2 parsing

Dependencies

  • Session 01 (Foundation Types)
  • Session 02 (Utilities — queues)
  • Session 03 (Configuration — ServerOptions)
  • Session 05 (Subscription Index)
  • Session 07 (Protocol Parser)

.NET Target Location

  • dotnet/src/ZB.MOM.NatsNet.Server/ClientConnection.cs

Notes

  • This is the core networking class — every connected client has one
  • Heavy use of sync.Mutex in Go → consider lock or SemaphoreSlim
  • Write coalescing and flush logic is performance-critical
  • May need partial class split: ClientConnection.Read.cs, ClientConnection.Write.cs, etc.
