The maintainer decided on 2026-10-06 to publish 5.0.0-rc3 before 5.0.0
and to archive NTFSSecurity in favor of WindowsAccessControl.
- Decision 18: the project will be archived; the notes in the README,
the docs home, and the changelog stay until then.
- activeContext: rc3 is the focus. #34 reproduces locally with rc2, on a
file owned by TrustedInstaller without the Restore privilege, so CI can
test the fix without a file server.
- progress: rc3, then 5.0.0, with the version steps of each.

The maintainer approved a label scheme on 2026-10-06, and it was applied
to the 42 issues triaged on 2026-10-05, with the new label Needs Info for
issues that wait for their reporters.
- Decision 17: the meaning of each label and the close reasons.
- activeContext and progress: the labels are applied; five issues wait
for their reporters.

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- Decision 14: repository hardening is optional; the outdated "pending"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.

-AccessInheritanceEnabled $false now copies the inherited access entries
into the DACL, and -AuditInheritanceEnabled $true keeps the explicit audit
entries, as Disable-NTFSAccessInheritance and Enable-NTFSAuditInheritance
do without their switches (Decision 13).
BREAKING CHANGE: to remove the entries, use
Disable-NTFSAccessInheritance -RemoveInheritedAccessRules or
Enable-NTFSAuditInheritance -RemoveExplicitAuditRules.

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.

- 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.

* 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.
