+```text
+NCP 0x2222/35/07  AFP Rename

+The helper derives the source and destination parent Entry IDs with AFP Entry
+ID From Path Name, sends leaf names to AFP Rename, and verifies that the source
+path disappears while the destination path resolves to the expected Entry ID.
+Directory renames use the existing mars_nwe directory-aware move path.  File
