SR2026 address check in 30 seconds

CBPR+ SR2026 makes structured debtor/creditor postal addresses (TwnNm + Ctry in dedicated fields) mandatory on 2026-11-14. Batch-scan your outbound pacs.008 / pacs.004 / pacs.003 / pain.001 store before the deadline:

cargo install --git https://github.com/hanmahong5-arch/wireforge-core wf-cli
wf xform address-check outbox/     # exit 0 = compliant, 1 = gaps, 2 = unreadable

Runs entirely on your machine — no message ever leaves it. CI-ready exit codes. This is a structural presence DETECTOR for the cited SR2026 rule, not a full CBPR+ validation and not a certification; details below.

What is this?

Wireforge is a local-first toolkit for financial wire messages — a CLI (wf), an AI-agent server (wf-mcp, 13 read-only MCP tools), and the Rust crates underneath. It exists because four problems keep landing on payment teams' desks:

Pain	What Wireforge does about it
SR2026 deadline (2026-11-14): CBPR+ makes structured debtor/creditor addresses mandatory; free-text AdrLine messages face rejection and repair queues	wf xform address-check batch-scans your outbound pacs.008 / pacs.004 / pacs.003 / pain.001 store and exits with a CI-ready 0/1/2 verdict per run
Silent MT↔MX data loss: coexistence-era conversion truncates 140-char MX names/remittance into 4×35 MT blocks — an AML/screening risk nobody reports	wf xform diff compares a matched MT103 + pacs.008 pair and names each truncated/dropped role, including the exact lost characters
Messages are too sensitive for online tools: you cannot paste production payment data into a web validator	Everything runs offline on your machine — no network calls, no telemetry, stdout clean for pipes
Legacy migration "trust us" gap: a replaced ISO 8583 endpoint claims byte-compatibility; nobody can prove it	wf oracle check replays captured legacy-vs-migrated responses under an operator-approved mask spec and emits field-level regression-conformance EVIDENCE; wf layout check verifies recovered fixed-length specs against real captures

Who it's for: payment/integration engineers wiring compliance gates into CI, compliance teams sizing their SR2026 backlog, migration teams needing regression evidence, and AI-agent users who want a safe read-only tool for message forensics.

For developers: the crates

Apache-2.0 Rust crates for parsing, building, and reasoning about financial wire messages. Today covers ISO 8583 (three on-the-wire dialects + runtime-loadable field specs), SWIFT MT (structural + tag-level semantic decoders, plus a typed facade), ISO 20022 / MX (inbound parse via a typed facade), MT↔MX truncation diffing, EBCDIC (CP037 / CP500), China GM/T crypto (SM3 / SM4 / SM2, functional — not 密评-certified), and the .wf flat-file format for capturing message specs under Git.

Crate	Purpose
wf-bitmap	ISO 8583 primary / secondary bitmap encode + decode.
wf-codec	ISO 8583 parser + builder + 128-field table (HybridAscii /
	FullAscii / FullBinary BCD dialects) + runtime-loadable FieldSpec;
	SWIFT MT structural parser + semantic decoders (20 / 32A / 50K);
	EBCDIC CP037 / CP500 single-byte codec.
wf-cli	wf CLI binary — parse / build / validate from the shell.
wf-format	Parser for the .wf Bruno-inspired flat-file DSL.
wf-mcp	Model Context Protocol server — expose codec to AI agents.
wf-sm	China GM/T cryptography — SM3 hash, SM4 cipher (ECB/CBC +
	bounded streaming), SM2 signature (functional, not 密评-certified).
wf-swift	Typed SWIFT MT facade over an external parser, with lossless
	fallback to wf-codec's structural parser.
wf-mx	ISO 20022 / MX inbound facade (pacs / pain / camt / admi).
wf-xform	pacs.008.001.08 ↔ MT103 truncation/loss detector across five
	roles — DETECTOR not converter; no certification claim.
wf-wal	Append-only write-ahead log with CRC-32 + truncate_to recovery.
wf-obs	Local-first observability: leveled tracing logs, bounded raw-
	buffer hex dumps, stderr subscriber setup (no telemetry).

Scope & honesty (wf-xform): it compares pacs.008.001.08 against MT103 over five core roles and is SYNTHETIC-validated only (no real production samples yet); it is a DETECTOR, not a converter, and makes no certification, conformance, or equivalence claim.

tools/sample-sanitize/ is a standalone (out-of-workspace) binary that redacts PAN / track data from real ISO 8583 hex samples; see docs/sample-policy.md for the redaction contract.

5-minute try

No clone needed — install wf straight from the repo and parse one sample ISO 8583 frame:

cargo install --git https://github.com/hanmahong5-arch/wireforge-core wf-cli
echo "303230302000000000000000303030303030" | wf parse -

You should see a tree with MTI = 0200, the bitmap, and field 3 ("Processing Code") decoded. If something looks off — wrong field, a crash, anything — please file an issue using the feedback template. Honest reports beat polished stars.

Prebuilt binaries for Linux / macOS / Windows are attached to each GitHub release.

Quick start (CLI from source)

cargo install --path crates/wf-cli
echo "303230302000000000000000303030303030" | wf parse -

Output: a tree showing MTI, bitmap, and decoded fields. ISO 8583 auto-sniffs across HybridAscii / FullAscii / FullBinary dialects; pass --dialect <name> to force one.

Add -v / -vv / -vvv for info / debug / trace logging on stderr (stdout stays machine-clean); at trace, the raw input buffer is hex-dumped. RUST_LOG overrides the level. Logs are local-only — no telemetry.

SR2026 address-compliance gate (CLI)

CBPR+ SR2026 makes a structured debtor/creditor postal address (TwnNm + Ctry in dedicated PstlAdr fields) mandatory on 2026-11-14. Scan your outbound message store before the deadline:

wf xform address-check outbox/             # scan a directory of *.xml
wf xform address-check a.xml b.xml c.xml   # one or more explicit files
cat msg.xml | wf xform address-check -     # one envelope from stdin

The message type (pacs.008.001.08 / pacs.004.001.09 / pacs.003.001.08 / pain.001.001.09) is auto-detected per file, and the process exits with a diff-style code so the check drops straight into CI:

• 0 — every input is compliant
• 1 — ran cleanly, but at least one input is non-compliant
• 2 — at least one input could not be checked (unreadable / unparseable / unsupported message type)

One unreadable file does not abort the batch — it is reported and folded into the exit code. A directory scan is one level, *.xml only, sorted (recursive scan is not yet built). This is a structural presence DETECTOR for the one cited SR2026 rule — not a full CBPR+ validation and not a certification; all fixtures are SYNTHETIC.

--format text|json|csv selects the output shape: text (default, human- readable), json (machine-readable, carries a schema_version field for CI pipelines), or csv (RFC-4180, one row per file/party, for spreadsheets and data pipelines). Each per-party row also carries a remediation field — actionable fix guidance naming the missing structured field(s) — a DETECTOR hint, not an auto-fix.

Quick start (MCP, for AI agents)

Claude Desktop: download wireforge.mcpb and open it (Settings → Extensions) — the bundle carries macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows binaries. The server is on the MCP Registry as io.github.hanmahong5-arch/wireforge.

Other stdio clients: install the binary —

cargo install --path crates/wf-mcp

— then wire it into your MCP-aware client. For Claude Code, add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wireforge": { "command": "wf-mcp" }
  }
}

The agent can now call 13 tools:

• wf_parse_iso8583 — hex → structured field tree
• wf_build_iso8583 — {mti, fields} → hex
• wf_validate_iso8583 — structural validation
• wf_field_lookup — field number → FieldDef
• wf_decode_mti — 4-digit MTI → semantic parts
• wf_explain_message — natural-language description (no LLM call)
• wf_roundtrip_check — parse → build → byte-compare
• wf_parse_swift_mt — SWIFT MT raw → structural block tree
• wf_ebcdic_decode — EBCDIC-encoded hex bytes → decoded text
• wf_sm3 — bytes → SM3 (GB/T 32905) hash digest
• wf_mt_mx_truncation_diff — pacs.008.001.08 ↔ MT103 field truncation/loss detector across five roles (DETECTOR not converter; no certification / conformance / equivalence claim)
• wf_mx_address_compliance — check a pacs.008.001.08, pacs.004.001.09, pacs.003.001.08 or pain.001.001.09 debtor/creditor postal address for the CBPR+ SR2026 structured-address requirement (TwnNm + Ctry in dedicated fields, mandatory 2026-11-14); auto-detects the message type. DETECTOR, not a full CBPR+ validation and not a certification
• wf_mx_address_scan — batch variant of wf_mx_address_compliance: runs the same SR2026 structured-address presence check over one-or-more MX envelopes and returns a diff-style gate summarizing the whole batch. DETECTOR, not a full CBPR+ validation and not a certification

See docs/mcp-integration.md for client setup details, the field-payload convention, and validator limitations.

Quick start (.wf flat-file)

cat crates/wf-format/examples/iso8583-auth.wf

meta {
  name: Auth Request 0200
  type: iso8583
}
iso8583 {
  mti: 0200
  field 2: 4242424242424242
  field 4: 000000010000
}

Parse it with the wf-format crate's parse(&str) -> WfFile. The grammar is line-oriented + brace-grouped + additive: unrecognised blocks land in Body::Raw so newer files never break older parsers.

Quick start (SM3)

use wf_sm::{sm3, sm3_hex};
let digest = sm3(b"abc");           // [u8; 32]
let hex    = sm3_hex(b"abc");        // "66c7f0f4…8f4ba8e0"

Backed by RustCrypto sm3 (the Digest trait); the streaming Sm3 hasher keeps real 64-byte block state, so hashing a large WAL is O(1) memory. Algorithm-selection rationale, the 2026-05-29 swap from smcrypto, and the GB/T 32905-2016 test vectors live in docs/sm-crypto-research-2026-05.md.

Status

Pre-1.0. ISO 8583-1987 parser / builder are exact inverses for every supported dialect; field 1..=104 plus 128 have concrete spec definitions, and fields 105..=127 are treated as opaque binary envelopes. A runtime-loadable FieldSpec (TOML, spec-load feature) overrides the built-in table for national / private dialects without a recompile. SWIFT MT structural layer is complete; semantic field decoders cover three MT103 anchor tags (20 / 32A / 50K) with the MtFieldDecoder trait as the extension point. EBCDIC CP037 / CP500 single-byte codec is implemented (tables vendored under the Unicode License, see NOTICE); DBCS host pages are deferred. wf-sm exposes SM3 hash, SM4 (ECB / CBC + bounded streaming), and SM2 signature — functional only, with no 密评 / GB/T 39786 compliance claim.

Scope & honesty

Read this before trusting any number.

• No real production samples yet. Correctness is grounded on synthetic and standard/specification test vectors only (labelled SYNTHETIC in-source) plus a property-based round-trip fuzz suite. Any accuracy statement is ⏳ pending real-sample validation. The Phase 0 exit gate (≥ 5 real ISO 8583 hex samples) is unmet — contributions welcome via tools/sample-sanitize/.
• wf-xform is a truncation DETECTOR, not a converter. It compares an MT103 and a pacs.008.001.08 a caller already holds and reports per-role field loss against cited maximum lengths. It performs no conversion and makes no certification, conformance, or equivalence claim.
• wf-sm (国密) is functional only — no 密评 / GB/T 39786 / OSCCA certification claim; SM2 rests on an unaudited upstream. Suitable for development against CN rails, not as a certified cryptographic product.
• wf-mx wraps a third-party upstream (mx-message 3.1.4) that is currently frozen. The facade isolates the dependency; owning MX parsing is a future option.

A grounded, source-cited go-to-market and next-steps plan lives in docs/strategy/next-steps-2026-06.md.

Building

cargo build --workspace
cargo test --workspace --all-targets
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all -- --check

The workspace pins clippy unwrap_used / expect_used / panic to deny. The wf-mcp crate relaxes those three lints locally because rmcp's procedural macro generates code we don't control; hand-written handlers in that crate still funnel errors through Result<_, _>.
