Add tests for the error handling that the cmdlets with -Path share: a
path that doesn't exist (16 cmdlets, and 6 audit cmdlets with the
Security privilege), an item whose owner may not read its permissions
(6 cmdlets), and an item whose owner may not change them, which the 6
cmdlets that write the DACL handle by taking ownership. Each error
belongs to its path only, and the cmdlet goes on with the next one.
The tests found one defect: Get-NTFSOrphanedAccess reported an item that
it couldn't read as an AddAceError with the category WriteError. It now
writes a ReadSecurityError, like Get-NTFSAccess.
They also show that the take-ownership retry works without privileges
when the account holds the Take Ownership right and may assign the
previous owner, and that it can't help a denied read, because reading
the owner needs the same right. Concepts and five cmdlet pages said that
the retry needs the privileges; they now describe both, and that Windows
removes the OWNER RIGHTS entries when the owner changes.

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
