Record the release of 5.0.0-rc5, Phase 1 of the quality gate that the
maintainer set before 5.0.0 (Decision 21): the published package passes
the live tests, every test runs in at least one configuration, and the
suite runs 55.9% of the C# lines and 37.4% of the branches. Record the
coverage measurement with AltCover, the GitHub CLI on the third
workstation, and the plan of Phase 2, which ends with 5.0.0-rc6.

Record the results of the live tests against 5.0.0-rc2, 5.0.0-rc4, and
the rc5 build, Decision 20 for the location of the live tests, the third
workstation, the deferred review findings, and the next steps to 5.0.0.

- progress and activeContext: 5.0.0-rc4 published from 01d9264; #41,
#108, #109, and #111 closed as completed, #90 and #107 as not planned;
the deferred review findings are listed in #113; 5.0.0 is next.
- techContext: the label rc4 and the Gallery versions; AlphaFS reaches the
device object for a drive or volume root through DirectoryInfo and the
root folder through the path methods; stale lines shortened.

- progress and activeContext: 5.0.0-rc3 published from 914e8da; #34
reopened for a tester, #67 closed as not planned; 5.0.0 is next.
- Decision 19: the cmdlets write only the sections that they change.
Decision 18: the Gallery description announces the archive, and the
module writes no warning on import.
- techContext: the label rc3 and the Gallery versions; commands for the
maintainer as code blocks at the end of the reply; no closing keywords
in pull requests unless the merge should close the issue; test runs as a
basic user; stale lines removed.
- systemPatterns: Decision 19 in the index, and Set-TestOwner.

5.0.0-rc2 is on the PowerShell Gallery and in the GitHub releases. The
PRs #99 to #106 were merged in order with merge commits, CI on master
passed, and the tag 5.0.0-rc2 on 7ddda8d published it on the third
attempt of the release run, after GitHub's Actions outage of 2026-10-05.
The open issues got their replies, 16 were closed, and the follow-up
issues #107 to #111 track the open Minor review findings.
- Decision 14: repository hardening is optional; the outdated "pending"
text is gone.
- Decision 15: merge stacked pull requests in order with merge commits.
- Decision 16: fix only reproducible bugs (the maintainer's decision D6).
- activeContext and progress: the CI fix 629f4e7, the copied inherited
entries behind #34, the issue state, and the next step (test rc2, then
5.0.0 or rc3).
- techContext: the current versions, the second workstation, and
one-line commands for the maintainer.

Resolves the review of this branch (one Major, three Minor findings):
- Major: a Dependabot pull request runs the action versions it proposes
before anyone reviews them, and the wiki job of that run held
contents: write. The wiki job is now read-only and only previews the
changed pages; the new publish-wiki job, the only one besides release
with write access, publishes for master alone, after a merge.
dependabot.yml waits 7 days (cooldown) before it proposes a release.
- Minor: Repository.Tests.ps1 asserts that it found the 3 packages.config
files, checks version 2 and the directory, accepts either quote style,
and checks that the "*" pattern sits under groups (11 tests; the
cooldown test failed before the change).
Memory Bank: Decision 11 and techContext.md describe the two wiki jobs.

- #98 merged; the tag 5.0.0-rc1 published to the PowerShell Gallery and
created the GitHub prerelease through CI.
- Verification: byte-identical packages, Release builds, Gallery flags
and command tags, and the full test suite against the installed module.
- Next: the maintainer tests the prerelease; then the final release.

- Decision 12: releases are built and published by CI on a version
tag, prerelease first; Decision 10 gains the prerelease rule.
- techContext and systemPatterns: the release job, the packages, the
command tags, and the new tests.
- progress and activeContext: #97 merged, the release PR, and the steps
for the maintainer.

- #94, #95, and #96 merged; the first master run passed and published
the wiki; AppVeyor no longer reports.
- Decision 9 records that the version history stays separate from the
changelog, and why.
- techContext: Gallery versions and dates, the package comparison recipe,
and MD024 siblings_only for CHANGELOG.md.

- Decision 11: CI and the wiki run on GitHub Actions; the wiki is
generated from Docs. Decision 9 no longer retires the wiki; Decisions
6 and 8 name the CI workflow instead of appveyor.yml.
- techContext, systemPatterns, and projectbrief describe the workflow,
the test reporting, the wiki pattern, and how to read CI runs.
- progress and activeContext: PRs #94 and #95 open, the GitHub Actions
package PR-ready, and the steps after the merge.

- Decision 10: one version for the manifest, the first-party
assemblies, and the changelog.
- Work packages 3 and 4 PR-ready; release checklist for 5.0.0.
- RootModule in the architecture; the new test files and what they
guard.

- Decision 9: keep the documentation on GitHub; no Read the Docs site,
and the wiki is retired. Decision 4 now rests on it.
- Work package 3 redefined and PR-ready; work package 4 decisions:
PowerShellVersion 5.1, DotNetFrameworkVersion 4.5.2, RootModule, and
5.0.0 with the PassThur alias.
- Correct the Windows PowerShell 5.1 recipe (don't clear PSModulePath),
and record the local build from the NuGet cache, the link-check
limits, and the deleted fork behind the Read the Docs project.

Work packages 1 and 2 are merged and master is green on AppVeyor
(218 of 218 Pester tests). Mark them done, condense the older
milestones, and spell out work packages 3 and 4 so a new chat can
continue from the Memory Bank alone, including cleaning the installed
module folder before the next release.

The remote-mutation hook blocked creating the pull requests even after
the maintainer's explicit request: its override is read from the
environment that VS Code starts the hook with, so the agent can't set
it for a single command. The hook also matches text inside commit
messages.

* fix(help): ship the generated help file so Get-Help works
Get-Help showed only the syntax of the cmdlets: the module shipped a
pre-4.x MAML file for the old command names under the wrong name
(NTFSSecurity-Help.xml), while PowerShell looks for
en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml.
- Generate en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml from Docs/Cmdlets with
New-ExternalHelp and commit it. The csproj copies it to the output,
so every build ships it, including the local Debug builds that
releases are published from.
- List all runtime files, including the help file, in FileList.
- Remove the stale NTFSSecurity-Help.xml and the unused help editor
project NTFSSecurity\Help\NTFSSecurity.Help.pshproj.
- Add Tests\Help.Tests.ps1 (Pester 5): Get-Help shows the synopsis,
parameters, examples, and online link of every page, and
Get-Help -Online resolves to the GitHub page.
- Reword six sentences in five cmdlet pages so that each link ends its
sentence: platyPS drops the space after a link in the help text.
- CI regenerates the help file and fails when it differs from the
committed file, then runs the Pester tests.
- Document the regeneration step and the link rule in the contributor
guide.

* ci: report each Pester test once on AppVeyor
AppVeyor build 54834154 passed all 218 Pester tests but listed 870 on
its Tests tab: the NUnit import files a Pester 5 test under every block
that contains it (Pester, test file, Describe, and Context).
Report the results through the build worker API instead
(POST api/tests/batch): one entry per test with its outcome, duration,
and error message. Outside AppVeyor, and when no test ran, the step
sends nothing.

- Ignore .memory-bank/promptHistory.md, a local log that is not
version-controlled.
- Record the merge of PR #91 and the agreed order of the follow-up
work packages in progress.md.
- Record the changelog policy as Decision 7: CHANGELOG.md lists
user-visible changes only; CI and build-only changes get no entry.
- Move the inline Decisions to .memory-bank/decisions/ records, so
systemPatterns.md keeps an index below its 110-line budget.

* docs: align documentation with the cmdlet source
- Fill all 36 platyPS cmdlet pages from the C# source: synopsis,
description, parameters, defaults, examples, inputs, outputs, and
notes, including documented limitations of the current code
- Check every example against live parameter metadata and run them in a
sandbox; fix examples that did not work (CSV restore, account filter,
recursive inheritance, -AccessRights typos)
- Rewrite the home, concepts, examples, README, and contributor pages;
add a grouped cmdlet overview, module settings, privileges, long paths,
and the platyPS workflow
- Document Remove-Item2 -PassThru as renamed after 4.2.6 (#64)
- Fix mkdocs.yml navigation, edit_uri, and copyright markup; add
build.os and a pinned MkDocs version for Read the Docs
- Point online help links to the pages on GitHub; add CHANGELOG.md

* ci: build the module and check the docs against the build
The documentation check ran Update-MarkdownHelp against the NTFSSecurity
release from the PowerShell Gallery (4.2.6), so it failed for every
unreleased parameter change. PR #91 failed because 4.2.6 still has
Remove-Item2 -PassThur while the source and the docs have -PassThru.
- Build NTFSSecurity.csproj in Release on the Visual Studio 2022 image,
using the .NET Framework 4.5.2 reference assemblies package instead of
an installed targeting pack
- Check Docs/Cmdlets against the module built from source
- Pin platyPS 0.14.2 and MarkdownLinkCheck 0.2.0, and enable TLS 1.2 so
the NuGet provider bootstrap works
