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.
inventory_artifact, inspect_artifact, and extract_artifact copied each
occurrence or extracted file path into Evidence locations, although the
result already names every one. inspect_artifact did so twice, in its own
Evidence and in the nested inventory Evidence. Like other whole-target
Evidence, these now report no locations.
Visual Studio Code.app: inspect_artifact 15.37 MB to 13.07 MB,
extract_artifact 1.40 MB to 1.06 MB.

Deliver complete Evidence directly through MCP with required nullable analysis profiles and immutable per-server delivery settings. Bind selected environments at construction and require typed cleanup outcomes with retained retry ownership.
Remove test-only routing, duplicate session and snapshot metadata, producer-field repairs, and ambiguous provider arguments. Separate artifact byte identity from occurrence classification and retain typed source-map and partial native facts across CLI, MCP, and verifier consumers.
BREAKING CHANGE: obsolete Evidence envelopes, session aliases, incomplete snapshots, and missing normalized producer facts are no longer accepted.
Two follow-ups to #1161 from its post-merge review:
- The new format preflight ran before scanArtifactInventory, which was
the first cancellation check. An already-cancelled extraction of a
DMG or PKG therefore reported unsupported_target instead of
cancellation. Check the signal before the preflight.
- The unsupported-format and encrypted-entry refusals reported the
realpath. When the caller selected the target through a symlink,
junction, or other alias, the diagnostic named a different path.
Report the caller's input path; I/O still uses the canonical path.

extract_artifact on a format without an extraction reader, such as a
DMG, first ran the full inventory scan (mounting the image) and then
failed with an `unavailable` artifact failure: "Check artifact support
and required tools". The target format, not the host, is unsupported.
Check the format before any inventory or output work and raise
AnalysisUnsupportedTargetError, which the provider now keeps, as it does
for the other target-kind checks in this PR.

## Changes
Related to #545 and the permission-system removal in #555.
- Upgrade the shipped skill to v24 and remove obsolete filesystem grants, per-call approval flags, Electron file-root configuration, and DMG approval flags. Calls follow the user-requested investigation directly. Keep setup plan confirmation, actual OS requirements, and process/archive lifecycle boundaries.
- Correct the passive browser guide: endpoint/scope come from requests; ordinary local URL queries are retained, while credentials remain redacted.
- Audit canonical tool effects: declare possible DMG process/temp-directory effects, mark fresh extraction non-idempotent, and mark comparisons of supplied captures/PNGs as closed-world. Align artifact-provider capability effects with temporary mount-directory writes.
- Retain non-read-only hints for calls that add Evidence to the session; document that annotations are hints and that clients control their confirmation UI. Do not mislabel session mutations as read-only to suppress prompts.
- Regenerate package, skill, MCP, and product metadata from source.
## Verification
- `npm run test:focused -- <11 affected test files>`: **40 tests passed**, including skill transaction/backup/idempotence, SDK tools/list annotations, actual local capture/PNG comparisons, artifact extraction/containment/cancellation, DMG launcher/cleanup seam, setup confirmation, browser MCP and scenario MCP, CLI catalog parity.
- `npm run check`: typecheck, lint, format, knip, package metadata.
- `npm run docs:check`: generated catalogs, skill metadata, documentation facts, completion ledger, error schema.
No local real Hopper/Ghidra run: their adapters and analysis operations are unchanged. Native macOS DMG behavior is covered locally through the launcher seam; no local macOS/hdiutil claim is made.
Real browser verification passed using existing Headless Chrome143.0.7499.4: actual CLI/stdio MCP,9,331,407-byte PNG, passive capture/source maps, and owned/external scenario cleanup. An initial full Chrome143 run failed the existing screenshot-height assertion (1397 versus1536); the dedicated headless-shell run passed the complete verifier without code changes. The verifier run-lineage field remained unavailable; no lineage-coverage claim is made. Browser download into `.codex` was blocked by CDN403, so the successful run used an existing browser without changing host configuration.
