Clients can open Installed, review their PC specifications and installed tools, add optional workflow context, and hand a reviewed report to their chosen Windows sharing app. The report gives a consultant observed hardware/software facts and explicit unknowns for workflow design.

Reports are frozen before review and redact known identifiers by default. Markdown, HTML and JSON retain the full capture; client notes are labeled unverified and remain literal text. Existing Store identity and confirmed uninstall/history behavior are preserved. Privacy, support and listing copy describe the new flow.

Redaction now matches complete identifiers in one pass: a Windows username of a no longer corrupts AMD Radeon or Slack, and replacement markers remain intact. Eight regression cases cover short/Unicode names, paths, marker collisions and all three export formats. First-scan cancellation accurately reports that no completed results exist. Root-level Installed exports are ignored by Git, and the submission plan reflects the applied identity and report-sharing acceptance steps.

Validation

• Windows CI run 42319456942: native Release build with zero warnings/errors; all 157 tests passed (138 backend, 19 presentation); script snapshot and Store configuration checks passed.
• Tested PR head: a2410a37c41030f3512bd2f2a8adcf6a65a70bf8. CI merge snapshot ca55e5a5f9e95d61054175c1d41959b985a9fabf has identical files.
• All 25 focused local redaction/intake/scan checks passed. Four of the five direct redaction cases failed against the previous implementation, confirming the regression coverage. Ignore-rule checks preserve source/docs while excluding the report filenames.
• TRX evidence downloaded, SHA-256 verified and retained locally under artifacts/maintenance-intake-42319456942/.
• New unsigned candidate generated successfully. It has not been downloaded or inspected locally. CI artifacts expire November 21, 2026. Packaging still omits debug symbols because mspdbcmf.exe is unavailable.
• The earlier 149-test run and inspected candidate are preserved as historical evidence in the handoff. That package inspection applies to the earlier revision, not the new candidate. No dependencies, package identity, report schema or history format changed in maintenance.

Remaining release gates

The CI runner is Windows Server 2025, not a clean Windows 11 client. Final candidate inspection, installed launch/cancel/rescan, readable report review, controlled share-target receipt and cancellation/fallback, clean-PC install/shortcut/update, accessibility/privacy retention and WACK still require acceptance. The unsigned candidate is not an end-user installer. This draft does not merge or publish to the Store, send a report, or add Linux/multi-device collection.
