# SuiteLink Tag Client Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Build a cross-platform `.NET 10` C# SuiteLink V2 client for tag-only operations: connect, subscribe, receive updates, write values, and unsubscribe for `bool`, `int32`, `float32`, and `string`.
**Architecture:** The implementation is split into transport, protocol codec, session state, and public client API layers. The first version targets normal non-encrypted SuiteLink tag traffic only and validates behavior with unit tests, golden packet tests, and optional live integration tests against an AVEVA/OI server in mixed or legacy mode.
**Tech Stack:** .NET 10, C#, xUnit, `TcpClient`/`NetworkStream`, `System.Buffers`, `System.Buffers.Binary`
---
### Task 1: Create Solution Skeleton
**Files:**
- Create: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/src/SuiteLink.Client/SuiteLink.Client.csproj`
- Create: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/src/SuiteLink.Client/Class1.cs`

- Create: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/tests/SuiteLink.Client.Tests/UnitTest1.cs`
- Create: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln`
**Step 1: Write the failing structure check**
Create a test project with one placeholder test:
```csharp
using Xunit;
namespace SuiteLink.Client.Tests;
public sealed class UnitTest1
{
[Fact]
public void Placeholder()
{
Assert.True(true);
}
}
```
**Step 2: Run test to verify the solution builds**
Run: `dotnet test /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln`
Expected: PASS with one test executed
**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Create the library and solution structure only. Leave the default library type empty or minimal.
**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `dotnet test /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln`
Expected: PASS
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/src /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/tests
git commit -m "chore: scaffold suitelink client solution"

Assert.True(value.TryGetBoolean(out var result));
Assert.True(result);
}
}
```

```csharp
public enum SuiteLinkValueKind
{
Boolean,
Int32,
Float32,
String
}
```
**Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**

**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/tests/SuiteLink.Client.IntegrationTests /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln
git commit -m "test: add suitelink integration test harness"
```
### Task 16: Add Package Documentation
**Files:**
- Create: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/README.md`
- Modify: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/docs/plans/2026-03-16-suitelink-client-design.md`
**Step 1: Write the failing documentation check**
Define the required README sections:
- project purpose
- supported protocol scope
- supported types
- unsupported features
- local build and test commands
- integration test setup
**Step 2: Run documentation review**
Run: `rg -n "Supported|Unsupported|Build|Test|Integration" /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/README.md`
Expected: FAIL until README exists
**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
Create a README that states:
- v1 supports normal SuiteLink V2 tag operations only
- v1 does not support AlarmMgr or secure V3
- primitive types only
- exact `dotnet` commands for build and test
**Step 4: Run documentation review**
Run: `rg -n "Supported|Unsupported|Build|Test|Integration" /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/README.md`
Expected: PASS
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/README.md /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/docs/plans/2026-03-16-suitelink-client-design.md
git commit -m "docs: describe suitelink client scope and usage"
```
### Task 17: Full Verification Pass
**Files:**
- Modify: `/Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/docs/plans/2026-03-16-suitelink-client-implementation-plan.md`
**Step 1: Run unit and integration-default test suite**
Run: `dotnet test /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln`
Expected: PASS with integration tests skipped by default
**Step 2: Run build verification**
Run: `dotnet build /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln -c Release`
Expected: PASS
**Step 3: Run formatting or analyzer checks if added**
Run: `dotnet test /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/SuiteLink.Client.sln -c Release`
Expected: PASS
**Step 4: Update plan status notes if execution deviated**
Add a short note to the plan if any task required deviation due to verified protocol differences.
**Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add /Users/dohertj2/Desktop/suitelinkclient/docs/plans/2026-03-16-suitelink-client-implementation-plan.md
git commit -m "docs: finalize suitelink implementation verification"
```
