-RemoveInheritedAuditRules, and Enable-NTFSAuditInheritance
-RemoveExplicitAccessRules is now -RemoveExplicitAuditRules. The old names
remain aliases, so existing scripts keep working.

Get-FileHash2 failed in PowerShell 7 for every algorithm, because the hash
method referenced RIPEMD160, which .NET Core and later lack. RIPEMD160 and
MACTripleDES are now created by name; requesting one where .NET lacks it
stops the cmdlet with an error that names the algorithm and points to
Windows PowerShell 5.1. MACTripleDES uses a random key, so its result
differs on every call; the value is deprecated, and the cmdlet warns when
it is used.

Defect 22:
- [OutputType]: Test-Path2 writes System.Boolean, not file objects;
Get-FileHash2 writes the file object with Hash and Algorithm, not access
rules; Add-NTFSAudit and Remove-NTFSAudit write audit entries since
defect 6; Copy-Item2, Move-Item2, Remove-Item2, and the five inheritance
cmdlets with -PassThru declared no type.
- Enable-Privileges and Disable-Privileges with -PassThru wrote the
privileges as one collection; they now enumerate it.
- New-NTFSSymbolicLink -PassThru returned a FileInfo for a link to a
folder; it now returns a DirectoryInfo.
The OUTPUTS sections of the pages name the same types.
Tests/OutputTypes.Tests.ps1 (new): 15 tests; Disable-Privileges and the
symbolic link need privileges and run in CI.

The cmdlets that take ownership of an item to repeat a denied operation
left the account that ran them as the owner when the second attempt failed
as well. BaseCmdlet.InvokeAsOwner now restores the previous owner on every
exit path and reports a failed restore as RestoreOwnerError.
Add-NTFSAccess, Add-NTFSAudit, Remove-NTFSAccess, and Remove-NTFSAudit
wrote the unchanged entries of an item with -PassThru after a failed
change; they now continue with the next path.
The inheritance tests assert the error identity and cover a missing path
on every runner.

Found while fixing defect 3, in the same loop: the hash variable lived
outside the loop, and after a GetHashError the cmdlet still wrote a
result for the file, with the hash of the previous file. Each path now
starts without a hash, and a failed read writes only the error.
Tests/FileHash.Tests.ps1: 1 test with a file opened without sharing;
like the other Get-FileHash2 tests, it skips in PowerShell 7 until the
RIPEMD160 reference goes (decision D5).

Defect 20 (#74). Enable-NTFSAccessInheritance,
Disable-NTFSAccessInheritance, Enable-NTFSAuditInheritance,
Disable-NTFSAuditInheritance, and Set-NTFSInheritance wrote the
-PassThru object in a finally block. After a failed change, such as an
audit change without the Security privilege, they returned the unchanged
state, which made the inheritance look disabled; when the item could not
be read at all, reading the state in the finally block threw and stopped
the command. The object is now written only after a successful change.
Tests/Inheritance.Tests.ps1: 5 tests. The audit tests need the missing
privilege and skip in CI; the read-deny tests skip where the Backup
privilege may bypass the deny entry (CI).

Defect 19, and the same gap in Remove-NTFSAudit. After the ReadFileError
for a path that doesn't exist, both cmdlets went on with a null item: the
removal failed with a NullReferenceException that they reported as a
second, misleading RemoveAceError, and with -PassThru the null item
stopped the command. Both now continue with the next path.
Tests: Access.Tests.ps1 and Audit.Tests.ps1, 2 tests each.

Defect 18. Copy-Item2, Move-Item2, and Remove-Item2 left ProcessRecord
with "return" when a path didn't exist and, for copy and move, when the
destination file existed without -Force, so the remaining paths of the
same -Path array were not processed. They now write the error and
continue with the next path.

Defect 17. Both cmdlets carried a removeSpecific field that no parameter
set, so they always took the rights away from matching entries; the
version history documents a -RemoveSpecific switch since 4.1. Both
cmdlets now have the switch, which removes only an entry that matches
exactly. The Security2 list overloads didn't pass the flag on, and the
audit item overload didn't support it; all overloads now do.
The applies-to field of both cmdlets is initialized; -AppliesTo is
mandatory in the Simple sets since defect 14, so it is always set when
used.
Tests: Access.Tests.ps1 3 tests, Audit.Tests.ps1 2 tests, on in-memory
security descriptors.

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.

Defect 15, all three parts:
- -ExcludeNoneAccessEntries had no effect: the result was written in a
finally block, so "continue" didn't skip it, and the check compared the
rights with None although .NET adds Synchronize to every allow rule. A
result is now written only after the checks, and Synchronize alone
counts as no access.
- Without -Path, BeginProcessing tested the path list for null, which it
never is, so the cmdlet wrote nothing. It now uses the current location,
like the other cmdlets.
- ProcessRecord ignored the SecurityDescriptor parameter set. A new
EffectiveAccess overload computes the effective access from an
in-memory security descriptor; the item overload uses it.
The Security privilege state that selects the error message was read into
a local variable that hid the field; the field is now set.
Tests/Access.Tests.ps1: 4 tests.

Defect 14. Add-NTFSAccess, Remove-NTFSAccess, Add-NTFSAudit, and
Remove-NTFSAudit have the sets PathSimple, PathComplex, SDSimple, and
SDComplex; the default PathComplex needs -Path. A command with
-SecurityDescriptor and without -AppliesTo, -InheritanceFlags, or
-PropagationFlags matched both SD sets and failed with "Parameter set
cannot be resolved". -AppliesTo is now mandatory in the Simple sets, so
such a command resolves to the Complex set and its default flags
(ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit / None, which is what AppliesTo
ThisFolderSubfoldersAndFiles means), as a command with -Path already did.
With -AppliesTo nothing changes.
The pages say "Required: True" for -AppliesTo and drop its never
reachable defaults; platyPS takes that metadata from the shipped help
file, so the help file was regenerated before the build.
Tests/Access.Tests.ps1: 6 tests on in-memory security descriptors.

Security review of this branch, Major findings:
- M4: Get-NTFSAudit took ownership of an item whose SACL it couldn't
read. Ownership grants no access to the SACL, so the retry always
failed, and it left the owner changed. The cmdlet now writes a
ReadSecurityError with the category PermissionDenied, as Get-NTFSOwner
does since defect 9; the page says so.
- M1: Remove-TestSandbox reset the ACLs recursively before it removed the
links. Measured: icacls /reset /T did not follow the junction (the
target's explicit entry stayed), but the links now go first anyway; a
folder that denies listing gets a reset without /T. New test: the ACL
of a junction target stays unchanged.
- m4: Assert-TestSandboxPath now rejects a path below a link, which can
point outside the sandbox (new test, failed before).
- M5: the Inherits column reads one ACL per displayed item; the
Get-ChildItem2 page names the cost and how to avoid it.
- M2: the comment of the CI-only Get-NTFSAudit repeat test states what it
guards; Access.Tests.ps1 guards the same loop fix without elevation.
- M3, the stale hash of Get-FileHash2, is fixed on ai/defects-c.

Defect 13. The Inherits column of the Children2 view, which formats the
Get-ChildItem2 output, negated the IsInheritanceBlocked property. The
module defines that property for System.IO.FileInfo and DirectoryInfo
only, not for the AlphaFS objects that Get-ChildItem2 returns, so the
column showed !$null, that is True, for every item. The view now reads
the protection of the DACL from the item.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1: 2 tests on the formatted output.

Defect 12. Besides the base class, which enables the privileges only when
the module setting EnablePrivileges is $true and disables them again in
EndProcessing, the six inheritance cmdlets called
EnableFileSystemPrivileges in BeginProcessing unconditionally. With
EnablePrivileges = $false they enabled the privileges anyway and, because
EndProcessing disables them only when the setting is $true, left them
enabled. The extra calls are gone; the inheritance cmdlets now behave like
the other cmdlets.
Tests/Privileges.Tests.ps1: 6 tests, one per cmdlet, CI-only, because
they need a token that holds the privileges. Without the fix the Backup
privilege is enabled after each call.
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Co-authored-by: AI Assistant <ai@example.com>
Defect 11. DisableFileSystemPrivileges read the privileges of the token
into a local variable that hid the field, and DisablePrivilege read the
field. With the module setting EnablePrivileges = $false, BeginProcessing
never filled the field, so every DisablePrivilege call hit a null
reference, which TryDisablePrivilege turned into a warning, and the
privileges stayed enabled. The method now refreshes the field.
Tests/Privileges.Tests.ps1 (new): 1 test, CI-only, because it needs a
token that holds the privileges. Without the fix it fails on the warnings
and on the Backup privilege that stays enabled.

Defect 10. AlphaFS 2.2 copies a folder only into an existing destination
folder; otherwise DirectoryInfo.CopyTo fails with a
DirectoryNotFoundException for the first file, so Copy-Item2 could not
copy a folder that contained files. The cmdlet now creates the
destination folder first; AlphaFS then copies the files and subfolders.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1: 1 test.

Defect 9, both parts:
- Get-NTFSOwner wrote each owner inside a try block whose catch-all
turned every exception into a ReadSecurityError. When a command such as
Select-Object -First 1 stopped the pipeline, the cmdlet wrote "The
pipeline has been stopped" as an error for every path, and the stop
escaped into the caller's script. The owner is now written after the
try block.
- After access was denied, the retry called the same failing GetOwner
again before taking ownership, so it always failed and reported a
WriteError. Taking ownership would also replace the owner that the
cmdlet reports. The cmdlet now writes a ReadSecurityError with the
category PermissionDenied and continues.
Tests/Owner.Tests.ps1 (new): 2 tests; the access-denied test skips where
the Backup privilege may bypass the deny entry (CI).

Defect 8. For a security descriptor that was read without its SACL (no
Security privilege), Get-NTFSInheritance -SecurityDescriptor reported
AuditInheritanceEnabled as $true, because the protection flag of a
section that was never read is not set. It now reports $null, like the
Path parameter set, using the sections that FileSystemSecurity2 records
since defect 4.
Set-NTFSInheritance -SecurityDescriptor reads the same state, so it no
longer skips a requested audit change on such a descriptor as "equal".

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.

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.

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.

- 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
