The runner creates the restricted token, spawns the wrapped argv under it with the caller's stdio passed straight through (the caller's pipes, made inheritable around the spawn — Node clears stdio inheritability at startup, which raw spawns must compensate for), wraps the child in a `KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE` job (a dead runner kills the child), ignores its own console Ctrl+C so the child handles its own, mirrors the child's exit code, and revokes its self-managed temp grant on exit (workspace ACEs stand). Every runner-side failure prints `windows-acl-run: <detail>` to stderr and exits 127 — the seam's `RUNNER_FAILURE_RULES` match that signature, so a runner refusal is never mistaken for a denial.
**Workspace reuse and temp isolation**: the seam materializes the deterministic workspace SID's ACE STANDING (once per workspace per server lifetime, never revoked — it is the reuse cache), then creates a random private temp directory and distinct revocable SID for each live session/workspace pair. It passes both identities as the required `--write-sid`/`--temp-write-sid` pair; the runner verifies each against its owning path and neither grants nor revokes (`manageDacls: false`). A fork receives a different temp capability, and a fresh provider gives even the same resumed session a new path and SID, so crash residue is inert litter rather than a collision or inherited capability. Without the pair, `--temp` names a root: an agentless/standalone workspace-write runner creates a random private child, self-manages its temp SID, rewrites TMP/TEMP, and removes the child on exit. Re-granting the standing workspace ACE after a restart is idempotent: `grantWrite` reads the current DACL and skips `SetNamedSecurityInfoW` when the exact ACE already stands (that apply eagerly re-propagates the identical ACE across the whole tree — minutes on large workspaces). Known cost: the first grant on a big workspace tree blocks for that eager propagation once per workspace per machine.

A workspace equal to or containing that root is rejected before any grant because its inheritable workspace ACE would otherwise authorize every private child; the direct API likewise rejects overlap between any writable root and the actual private temp directory.

Modes (the token's restricting-SID list follows the mode; the keep-alive group is logon SID + Everyone in BOTH modes — early DLL init dies with `0xC0000142` and CNG crashes pwsh with `0xE0434352` without them):
- `workspace-write` (logon SID, Everyone, workspace SID, temp SID): the workspace and the session's PRIVATE temp subdirectory carry separate Write grants; other ACL-addressable writes are denied except for the documented Everyone and hard-link boundaries.

- **Console isolation is unavailable.** Under the restricted token, children created with `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` / `CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE` die during DLL initialization with `STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED` (`0xC0000142`). The POC tried to fix this by adding the console logon SID (`S-1-2-1`) to the restricting list; on Windows 11 26200 `CreateWellKnownSid(WinLocalLogonSid)` fails with `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER` (87), the correct `WinConsoleLogonSid` yields a valid `S-1-2-1` but the child still dies, and the POC's final revision removed both the SID and console isolation. Children therefore share the host console; stdio redirection is pipe-based and unaffected.
- **ACL grants are standing directory mutations.** They persist if the process dies mid-run; workspace ACEs are standing BY DESIGN (never revoked — the reuse cache), temp ACEs are revoked by `dispose()` (`init()` also revokes an already-applied temp grant when a later step fails). The POC's documented manual cleanup (`icacls <dir> /remove '*S-1-4-…'`) fails on this platform with `ERROR_NONE_MAPPED` (1332) — revoke through this module instead. An unclean shutdown needs no self-healing for the workspace ACE: the derived SID re-hits the standing ACE on the next provision (skipping the apply); the write-SID ACE never accumulates a second identity per restart because the identity IS the workspace.
- **Granted directories must be caller-owned.** The owner's implicit `WRITE_DAC` is what lets the sandbox edit the DACL without elevation.
- **The ambient temp root is never granted implicitly.** A direct `AclSandbox` workspace-write caller must supply an existing private `tempDir` plus its distinct `tempWriteSid`, or explicitly disable temp writes with `tempDir: null`. The seam creates a random private directory; agentless runner calls treat `--temp` as the parent root and create their own random child.
- **The ambient temp root is never granted implicitly.** A direct `AclSandbox` workspace-write caller must supply an existing private `tempDir` plus its distinct `tempWriteSid`, or explicitly disable temp writes with `tempDir: null`. The actual temp directory must be disjoint from every writable root. The seam creates a random private directory; agentless runner calls treat `--temp` as the parent root and create their own random child, but reject a workspace equal to or containing that parent before any ACL mutation.
- **The confined child's temp capability is private per live session/workspace pair.** The runner rewrites TMP/TEMP via `SetEnvironmentVariableW` to that private directory before the spawn and the child inherits the rewritten block (bwrap `--tmpfs /tmp` semantics). The temp ACE and directory are removed on provider disposal, or after each agentless invocation. A crash can leave inert `%TEMP%` litter, but a resumed provider chooses a new random path and SID instead of colliding with or reauthorizing the residue. The native runner suite proves that two tokens sharing the same workspace SID cannot write one another's temp directories.
- **`whoami` and token-inspection cmdlets fail under the restricted token.** `GetTokenInformation` on the duplicate is partially unavailable to the child, so `whoami /all` reports errors — diagnostic noise of the restriction scheme, not an operational failure; the denial surfaces that matter (file writes) are unaffected.
