Defect 2. Get-ChildItem2 cast every -Path item to DirectoryInfo, so a file
path stopped the cmdlet with an InvalidCastException, a terminating error
that also skipped the remaining paths. Like Get-ChildItem, a file path now
returns the file itself, filtered like the other items; with -Directory it
returns nothing.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1 (new): 3 tests.

Defect 1. Set-NTFSInheritance compared the current state with an unset
Nullable<bool> and then read its value, so omitting
-AccessInheritanceEnabled always failed with "Nullable object must have a
value", and omitting -AuditInheritanceEnabled failed wherever the audit
section is readable. In the SecurityDescriptor set the error was
terminating.
An omitted parameter now leaves its section unchanged. The item, retry,
and security descriptor paths share one implementation instead of three
copies.
Tests/Inheritance.Tests.ps1 (new): 4 tests; the audit case needs the
Security privilege and runs in CI.

Pushing a tag such as 5.0.0 or 5.0.0-rc1 on master now publishes the
package that the build job built and tested to the PowerShell Gallery
and creates the GitHub release with NTFSSecurity.zip.
- New-ModulePackage.ps1 copies only the FileList files of the Release
build, so no debug symbols, XML documentation, or copy of
System.Management.Automation.dll ship. It builds the nupkg with
Compress-PSResource and adds the command tags (PSIncludes_Cmdlet,
PSCmdlet_*, PSCommand_*) that PSResourceGet leaves out and that the
Gallery uses to list cmdlets and that Find-Command searches. Every CI
run builds and uploads the packages.
- Get-ReleaseInfo.ps1 returns the version and release notes: a dated
CHANGELOG section for a release, the [Unreleased] section for a
prerelease.
- The release job checks that the tag matches the manifest version and
points to a commit on master, reads the API key from the environment
powershell-gallery, and skips steps already done, so a rerun is safe.
- The manifest gets the prerelease label rc1 and a release notes link;
the 5.0.0 changelog entries move back to [Unreleased] until the final
release.
- Tests/Release.Tests.ps1 covers both scripts and the packages; the
changelog check moves there from Manifest.Tests.ps1.
- Docs/Contributing/05-Releasing.md describes the one-time setup and the
release steps; Docs/README.md explains -AllowPrerelease.

Compare the six NTFSSecurity packages in the PowerShell Gallery (4.0.0
and 4.2.2 to 4.2.6) and the commit history to complete the version
history:
- Add the Gallery publish dates to 4.0 and 4.2.2 to 4.2.6.
- Add notes for 4.2.2, which had none: Test-Path2, Remove-Item2
-PassThur, the new audit parameters, and the hidden Show-SimpleAccess.
- Replace "Bug fixes" for 4.2.4 with its changes (#12, #31, #33, #35),
and move the MIT license there: the 4.2.4 package already links it.
- Split 4.2.5 (#18, #36, #48, Show-SimpleAccess removed) from 4.2.6,
which only fixed the Applies to column that 4.2.5 broke (#57).

- .github/scripts/Export-WikiContent.ps1 converts Docs, except the
contributor guide, into flat wiki pages: Docs/README.md becomes Home,
cmdlet pages lose their platyPS metadata, links point to wiki pages or
to the files on GitHub, and links in code stay unchanged. It writes a
sidebar from the cmdlet groups of Docs/README.md, a footer, and the
former page How-to-install, and keeps the page name Version-History
that the release notes link to.
- Tests/Wiki.Tests.ps1 checks the conversion rules with a sample of Docs
and every link and anchor of the wiki generated from the real Docs.
- README, CHANGELOG, and the version history mention the wiki again.

- Require Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 (PowerShellVersion
5.1, which CompatiblePSEditions needs) and .NET Framework 4.5.2, and
use RootModule instead of the deprecated ModuleToProcess. Before,
Test-ModuleManifest, and with it Publish-Module, failed.
- Export exactly the 36 cmdlets: remove Show-NTFSSimpleAccess, which no
longer exists, and the duplicate inheritance cmdlets.
- Keep -PassThur, the name in 4.2.6 and earlier, as an alias of
Remove-Item2 -PassThru, deprecated in the changelog.
- Set version 5.0.0 in the manifest, in NTFSSecurity, Security2, and
PrivilegeControl, and in a new 5.0.0 section of CHANGELOG.md.
- Tests/Manifest.Tests.ps1 and Tests/Remove-Item2.Tests.ps1 guard the
manifest, the versions, and the alias.
BREAKING CHANGE: the module requires Windows PowerShell 5.1 or
PowerShell 7; the manifest no longer claims PowerShell 2.0.

- Remove the Read the Docs and MkDocs configuration (.readthedocs.yml,
mkdocs.yml, Docs/requirements.txt). The Read the Docs project belongs
to a third party and points to a fork that no longer exists.
- Rename Docs/index.md to Docs/README.md, so that GitHub shows the
overview when you open the Docs folder, and link the changelog and the
license relatively.
- Move the version history and the installation steps from the wiki into
Docs/Version-History.md and Docs/README.md. Add the notes for 4.2.5
and 4.2.6, which the wiki never had, from the commit history.
- Describe previews and section anchors on GitHub in the contributor
guide, and drop the changelog entry about the documentation site.

* 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.

* chore: initialize the memory bank
Add the canonical .memory-bank base with evidence-based project context:
purpose and scope, workflows, stack and validation commands, architecture
map, decisions, and the open work found while documenting the cmdlets.

* 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
