Defect 7. FileSystemAuditRule2.GetFileSystemAuditRules set the
InheritanceEnabled property of every audit entry from
AreAccessRulesProtected, the protection of the DACL. It now uses
AreAuditRulesProtected, so the property, and the "Inheritance enabled"
header of the audit view, describe the audit entries.
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1: 1 test on an in-memory security descriptor whose
SACL is protected and whose DACL is not.

Defect 6. With -PassThru, Add-NTFSAudit returned the access entries of a
security descriptor in its SecurityDescriptor sets, and Remove-NTFSAudit
returned the access entries of the item in its Path sets. Both now return
the audit entries, as in their other parameter sets.
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1: 2 tests; the Remove-NTFSAudit test writes a SACL
and runs in CI.

Defect 5 (#4). -Account and -AccessRights of Add-NTFSAudit were both
declared at position 2, so a positional call failed with "Cannot bind
positional parameters because no names were given". -AccessRights is now
at position 3 in all four parameter sets, like in Remove-NTFSAudit.
The page's parameter metadata says position 3 as well. platyPS takes the
position from Get-Help, that is from the shipped help file, so
Update-MarkdownHelp kept the old value; the page, the regenerated help
file, and the build now agree.
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1: 5 tests (positions in each parameter set and a
positional call against an in-memory security descriptor).

Found while fixing defect 4: Get-NTFSAccess has the same pattern as
Get-NTFSAudit. It kept the entries of the previous item and wrote them in
a finally block, so a path whose ACL failed to read returned the previous
item's entries again, next to the error. Each item now starts empty, and
entries are written only after a successful read.
Tests/Access.Tests.ps1 (new): 1 test; it failed before the fix with 6
entries instead of 3.

- New-TestSandboxItem creates a uniquely named file or folder in a sandbox
after the path guard, replacing per-file copies.
- Block-TestReadPermission denies OWNER RIGHTS the right to read the
security descriptor of a sandbox item, so that reading it fails without
elevation.
- Remove-TestSandbox no longer stops when icacls cannot reset such an
item: Windows PowerShell turned the icacls message on stderr into a
terminating error; the item is still deleted through its folder.

Defect 4, both parts:
- Get-NTFSAudit kept the entries of the previous item and wrote them in a
finally block, so a path whose security descriptor failed to read
returned the previous item's entries again. Each item now starts empty,
and entries are written only after a successful read.
- Without the Security privilege, the cmdlet read the descriptor without
its SACL and returned nothing, like an item without audit entries. It
now reads the SACL alone, so a missing privilege is a ReadSecurityError
("A required privilege is not held by the client"). A descriptor from
Get-NTFSSecurityDescriptor that was read without the SACL gets the same
error; FileSystemSecurity2 now records which sections it read
(internal, visible to NTFSSecurity).
Tests/Audit.Tests.ps1 (new): 3 tests. The repeat test needs the Security
privilege to add an audit entry and runs in CI.

Defect 3. Get-FileHash2 left ProcessRecord at the first folder in -Path,
so the files that followed the folder in the same array were not hashed.
It now skips the folder, like Get-FileHash, and continues.
Tests/FileHash.Tests.ps1 (new): 1 test. It skips in PowerShell 7, where
every Get-FileHash2 call fails until the RIPEMD160 reference goes
(decision D5, later in this run).

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.

Tests/TestHelpers.psm1 lets a test that changes files, links, ACLs,
owners, audit entries, or inheritance work in its own sandbox below
$env:TEMP\NTFSSecurity.Tests:
- New-TestSandbox creates the folder; Assert-TestSandboxPath throws
unless every target, relative ones resolved against the location, is
inside it.
- Remove-TestSandbox removes the links first without following them
(Windows PowerShell 5.1 follows directory links when it removes a
folder), resets ACL changes, and deletes the folder.
- Test-IsElevated and Test-PrivilegeHeld decide which tests can run; CI
runners are elevated, the workstation isn't.
Tests/TestHelpers.Tests.ps1 (14 tests) covers the helpers. CI runs every
*.Tests.ps1 file in Tests, so new test files need no workflow change.

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.

- .github/dependabot.yml: weekly updates for the github-actions ecosystem
only, grouped into one pull request with the commit prefix "ci". The CI
workflow pins each action by commit SHA with a version comment, which
Dependabot updates together.
- NTFSSecurity/packages.config listed AlphaFS 2.2.6, but every HintPath and
the other packages.config files use 2.2.1, the version that ships.
- Tests/Repository.Tests.ps1 (new, 8 tests, no build needed) checks both;
before the change, 5 of them failed.
No CHANGELOG entry: build and CI metadata only (Decision 7).

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.

- .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.

* 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.
