Select the Windows curated lane for edits to the shared runtime path matcher and its workflow suite. Strengthen the existing POSIX/Windows mapping controls with matching basis, coherent target/script coordinates, caller spelling and static load-state assertions.
Follow-up to #2422; thanks to @Aurantium-47 for identifying the recorded-path grammar issue.
Verified with actual Windows 11 x64, official Node 24.18.0 and production CLI/MCP workflows using published npm 11.16.0 module Evidence. Four exact/mismatched implicit/explicit mapping cases pass with unchanged normalized hashes. The capture provider was Node Inspector; no IDA, Ghidra or Electron GUI verification is claimed.
230 focused tests, all eight CI static tasks, architecture guards and documentation checks pass after rebasing onto main fb28ec153. The unrelated release-checkpoint and dyld fixture corrections were integrated from upstream; no patches to those files are included here. Final Windows MCP replay at e6e86946d preserves all four normalized hashes, with no owned Node processes remaining. Resource probes ran serially at BelowNormal priority with one CPU and 512 MiB Node heaps; calls took 251–620 ms and the sampled process-family working-set sum peaked at 499,380,224 bytes. Source pins, provenance and measurement limits are recorded in experiments/analysis-efficiency/windows-posix-reconciliation.md.
All 34 jobs in current-head CI run 38391921571 passed, including the Windows capability/package lane, all six portable test shards, JavaScript recovery and the required aggregate. Current-head Codex and Greptile reviews are clean; both prior scope-selection findings were fixed and resolved.
Use POSIX path semantics for recorded POSIX roots when reconciling runtime Evidence on Windows. Preserve Windows mapping behavior and cover implicit and explicit file roots through the reconciliation service.

Keep failed reader, root descriptor, and output-tree cleanup with the caller. Drain admitted work before close, retry the same retained owners, and block new resource work while cleanup is incomplete. Preserve primary failures and complete inventory observations.
Thread ownership through JavaScript reconstruction, the CLI's one-shot scope, MCP server shutdown, verifier scripts, and test fixtures. Remove redundant ownership flags and the unused validated test wrapper.
Validate with 850 passing focused tests across 90 suites (two skipped), targeted classification and cleanup retries, static and unused-code checks, and real macOS CLI/MCP directory, ZIP, and DMG workflows. Native Windows and deep-analysis providers were not verified.
BREAKING CHANGE: Direct artifact inventory/extraction and JavaScript analysis APIs require an explicit caller-owned ArtifactResourceScope. CLI and MCP input contracts are unchanged.
