<#
Closes TestNeeded gaps of the judged parameter-set matrix ( judged-inheritance . csv / judged-inheritance -notes . md ,
scanned at HEAD 6696f68 ) for the inheritance , owner , and security-descriptor cmdlets : Disable / Enable-NTFSAccessInheritance ,
Disable / Enable-NTFSAuditInheritance , Get / Set-NTFSInheritance , Get / Set-NTFSOwner , Get-NTFSSecurityDescriptor . The module
built in NTFSSecurity \ bin \ Release runs on files and folders in a sandbox folder . Every assertion reads state with . NET
( Get-Acl , Get-Acl -Audit ) or compares an independent oracle , asserts an ErrorId / category / target triple , exercises a
pipeline that no existing test used , or checks continuation to the next item / descriptor ; none of it repeats what
Inheritance . Tests . ps1 , Owner . Tests . ps1 , SecurityDescriptor . Tests . ps1 , SecurityDescriptorSets . Tests . ps1 , or
PathErrors . Tests . ps1 already assert . Tests that change or read the audit section need the Security privilege and skip
without it ; CI runs them elevated too . This file does not test the 17 shared owner-restore handlers against what a
later command raises there ( an open maintainer decision , see systemPatterns . md ) , the abandoned PrivilegeEnabler , or
any Decision 22 behavior , and it does not add a new gap test for Set-NTFSSecurityDescriptor , whose own row is judged
GapKind None .
