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 The stale pwsh-sandbox JSDoc ('the tool owns approval') and the parity notes' superseded 'minus sandbox' claims are corrected.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.
quoteArg doubles end-of-string backslashes (real CommandLineToArgvW round-trip test; first-token exemption noted); grantWrite merges into the current DACL instead of replacing it, and both grant/revoke hold a LockFileEx per-path lock under GetTempPathW/dsh-acl-locks (koffi crashes on NULL lpOverlapped — a zeroed OVERLAPPED is used); GRANT_MASK gains DELETE|FILE_DELETE_CHILD (never WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER) though the win32 26200 second check only constrains the WRITE bit; failure paths close all handles (CreateProcessAsUserW pipe set, ResumeThread thread/process/job) with stub-api tests; getTempPathW refuses undersized buffers; drainPipe backs off; runner.spec pwshAvailable uses the resolvePwshPath probe; NTSTATUS exit codes mirror bit-exact (verified end-to-end); WinLocalSid JSDoc re-attributed to WinLocalLogonSid. All gates green: 42 passed/2 skipped, typecheck, oxlint, 0 clones, constraints, knip.
