The new output directory grants access to the current user, SYSTEM and local Administrators. Original inputs and parent ACLs are not changed. Paths must be ordinary local paths accepted by WELA's recovery artifact helpers; existing output directories and observed reparse paths are refused. Raw event payloads can contain sensitive operational data, so retain them as evidence under the intended reader's access policy.
Outputs include decoded `source-config.json`, `subscription.xml`, exact `query.xml`, the worker `request.json`, `worker.json`, individual `event-NNN.xml` matches and a final `manifest.json`. The manifest records original file paths/hashes, source fingerprints, query hash, actual host/DNS context, engine hash/version, before/after reader and channel observations, strict/diagnostic query results and artifact hashes. The original byte hashes are distinct from the decoded text artifacts. Unsuccessful runs retain whatever evidence was available; a missing final manifest means the output is incomplete.

The worker retains each XML render’s native `PropertyCount` as information; the Server 2022/2025 validation runs observed 1 even though the API documentation specifies 0 for XML. XML parsing uses bounded UTF-16 byte length and its final terminator, following the string rendering contract, independently of that values-array count. The original byte hashes are distinct from the decoded text artifacts. Unsuccessful runs retain whatever evidence was available; a missing final manifest means the output is incomplete.
The worker's SID, logon, group attributes and privileges must match the caller and remain stable. Host, input bytes, implementation, engine, channel configuration and saved hashes are rechecked before completeness. Returned event channel/record identity and exact observed local computer names must be consistent; no same-label arbitrary DNS suffix is accepted. These checks are observations rather than an atomic channel snapshot, and hashes establish consistency rather than authenticating an evidence author.
