From the security-reviewer pass over be04cb7..4ee01e5 (Minor 3 and 4):
ea2f6df compares the paths of folders without regard to case, which no
test covered; a parent folder in another case counted as not reported
before, so the folder was left out. The test of a drive root now expects
all of its entries instead of any. The page and the changelog say that
paths that differ only in case name the same folder.

Get-NTFSSimpleAccess compares each folder with its parent folder. A
folder whose parent folder it hadn't reported was left out, and with it
all of its subfolders; a drive root, which has no parent folder, was left
out or compared with the parent folder of the folder before it; and a
folder that came after its parent folder a second time failed with a
ReadError, "An item with the same key has already been added". Such
folders are now reported with all of their entries, and the paths are
compared without regard to case.
Decision 22, item 2: an assumption in autopilot, flagged for the
maintainer's review.

- Copy-Item2 and Move-Item2 name a missing destination folder in a verbose
message with -WhatIf, like an existing destination (#108); the operation
itself fails with an error that names the folder (finding 1).
- Invoke-TestsAsBasicUser.ps1 refuses a title with a double quote or a
percent sign, which cmd.exe interprets inside the quoted argument, and
fails when waiting for the test process fails (findings 4 and 5).
- The page of Get-NTFSSimpleAccess says that ReadData is the right to list
a folder (ListDirectory), which the cmdlet reports as Read (finding 10).
Checked and kept: a UNC destination on a share that doesn't exist names
the share, which a new test pins (finding 3); the lab script refuses
machines outside the lab before it changes anything (finding 6).

Two deviations from the cmdlet page, found by new tests from its
contract:
- An entry that grants only ReadData became None: the reduction tested
the combined Read mask, and nothing mapped ReadData alone. .NET adds
Synchronize to every allow entry, which hid it; other tools write such
entries.
- With -IncludeRootFolder, on by default, a relative path with a single
folder name had no parent folder in the result, because the parent was
taken from the path before it was resolved.
The tests also cover the rights reduction, the comparison of folders
with their parent, the pipeline, the current location, -ExcludeExplicit,
files, and missing paths, elevated and as a basic user in both editions.

Write orphaned audit entries outside the read error handler, so that a
stopped pipeline isn't reported as a read error. Pass -RemoveSpecific
through the string path overload of RemoveFileSystemAuditRule, and state
on the Get-NTFSSimpleAccess page that the security descriptor of a file
is reported.

Defect 16. Get-NTFSOrphanedAccess, Get-NTFSOrphanedAudit, and
Get-NTFSSimpleAccess inherit -Account and -SecurityDescriptor from
Get-NTFSAccess or Get-NTFSAudit but override ProcessRecord without them:
- All three now filter by -Account and process security descriptors
(Get-NTFSOrphanedAudit writes an error for one read without its SACL,
like Get-NTFSAudit).
- Get-NTFSOrphanedAudit wrote the entries of each item as one collection;
it now writes one object per entry.
- Get-NTFSOrphanedAccess kept the entries of the previous item and wrote
them in a finally block, like Get-NTFSAccess before; each item now
starts empty.
- SimpleFileSystemAccessRule had no view; it gets a table with Account,
Access Rights, and Type, grouped by folder, with the grouping control
that existed for it but was unused.
Tests: Access.Tests.ps1 6 tests; Audit.Tests.ps1 2 tests, CI-only because
they add audit entries.

* 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
