# Rust client command rewriting and byte preservation RE-977. Focused validation: `cargo xtask test-group rust-client-command-rewrite`. [Machine report](rust-client-command-rewrite.json). Rust matches48 source command rewrites, retaining pause-mask1 selection, mode10/client-mask16 locking, saved-angle direction and independent server masking. The low adjacent command byte survives clearing movement bytes, and command time is not modified by this API. Unit tests cover non-locking pause bits, angle restore/save order and low-byte preservation.
