Durable record: bound to the owning session id and validated at the fold (orphan-SID shape, temp path inside the host temp root) — a fork's copied parent record no longer provisions the child, and a tampered record fails loud. Private temp dir: random unguessable name persisted in the record, created exclusively (pre-existing entries and reparse points fail EEXIST). Persistence: a fresh provision kicks an immediate flush (no write-behind debounce), narrowing the crash window to the flush latency — documented as the one self-healing gap. Runner-failure rules: exit-gated on 127 so a confined command that prints the signature on a non-127 exit is never misclassified. Spawn: AssignProcessToJobObject failure terminates the suspended child (no hanging orphans). SandboxExecutionPolicy.sessionId is the branded SessionId. Boundary docs: qualifying clause on the absolutist sentences, NULL-DACL Known Limitation, 'full' scoped to the supported NTFS surface, CLM gate comment.
workspace-write now runs [logon SID, Everyone, orphan]: the two lists differ only by the orphan, and the keep-alive group (logon SID + Everyone) is the single shared invariant. The WMI namespace security check fails in BOTH modes (0x80041003), so CIM/Get-ComputerInfo are unavailable everywhere — the price of closing the C:\\-root tree-creation escape (AU:(AD) + AU:(OI)(CI)(IO)(M)) in workspace-write too. The unused WinLocalSid/WinInteractiveSid/WinAuthenticatedUserSid constants and their ABI-probe prints are removed; the enforcement 'full' claim now stands on a closed NTFS surface. New regression: a C:\\Users\\Public subdirectory write is denied under BOTH modes (the ambient-writable blind spot the review flagged — INTERACTIVE is absent from both lists). FAT-class (non-ACL) targets outside the granted roots remain writable (no security descriptors to intersect) — documented as a legacy residue, warn-only, not engineered around. Docs/design note/PR body updated in both languages (list I/J terminology gone everywhere).
tool-pwsh now renders sandbox denial facts (denial marker + same-turn escalation hint, runner-failed notice on background reads) and advertises the sandbox_permissions/justification escalation pair resolved through ctx.approval before execution — the shared fail-closed sequence from dsh-sandbox, with the tool name 'pwsh'. The description teaches the ConstrainedLanguage contract under the Windows sandbox (both confined modes run pwsh in CLM: Add-Type, non-core .NET statics, COM, and reflection fail; the mode cannot be lifted — probe-verified, pinned by LANGMODE assertions in the runner suite and description assertions in the tool suite). The stale pwsh-sandbox JSDoc ('the tool owns approval') and the parity notes' superseded 'minus sandbox' claims are corrected.
A session that materialized its workspace-write grant and then switched to read-only (or crashed and resumed under read-only) kept a writable workspace for the server lifetime: the standing orphan-SID ACE survived the downgrade and list I still carried the orphan, so the write-restricted pass-2 check granted it. List I is now [logon SID, EVERYONE] only — the standing ACE stays inert under read-only while the unrevoked ACE keeps the re-upgrade free (map hit, no re-propagation). Pinned by the runner's real-token mode-downgrade regression (standing ACE denied under read-only, effective again on re-upgrade), the acl-session mode-switch cycle (nothing under read-only, one materialization on upgrade, no revoke on downgrade), and ConstrainedLanguage pins in both modes.
