 ## Subscription XML and evidence
 
+[Native collector observations](wec-collector-observation.md) use complete bounded WEC name enumeration and strict Unicode XML reads. Failed or partial observations remain unknown; they never become permission to create a subscription. Raw Unicode descriptions/filters and actual disabled state are retained independently of the requested settings.

 The supported input is the native Subscription namespace, SourceInitiated type, native EventLog URI, HTTP transport, ForwardedEvents destination and Normal/MinLatency/MinBandwidth delivery preset. Enabled, ReadExistingEvents, content format and locale must be explicit. QueryList uses unique numeric Query IDs, exact native channel paths and nonempty Select/Suppress XPath expressions. Wildcard/provider channel names, external-provider channels, Sysmon/EMET, DTDs, unknown settings and custom delivery are rejected. This checks supported structure, not Windows XPath execution; native `cs` remains the final syntax validator.
 
 An empty `AllowedSourceDomainComputers` input is filled from the explicit `SourceSids`; a nonempty value must match that authorization exactly. No empty authorization reaches `wecutil`, avoiding Windows' broader default authorization. Non-domain/certificate authorization is not supported. The example Security 4740 filter is illustrative and is not a complete baseline or a recommendation to lock an account for testing.

 `before.jsonl` is written before each mutation. Review its exact Target/Before/Desired and the results before recovery. For a newly created subscription, it records absence and stores the prepared XML; remove that exact ID only after verifying its current definition still belongs to this run. Existing subscriptions are never edited. For the new SubscriptionManager value, compare the current value with Desired before removing only that value; keep other list entries and parent keys. Restore WSMan values and service start/running states only after verifying their present state and current policy authority. Remove only the newly added group SID after comparing the full membership snapshot; DC membership is never changed by this workflow. For channel restoration, use the channel journal and descriptor-preservation guidance. Recovery is deliberately manual so a newer operator/GPO change is not overwritten.

 Before closing issue #368, an isolated domain lab must configure a dedicated collector and Windows 11/member-server/DC/AD CS sources, verify source identity/token read access (including any required token/service refresh), preserve runtime status, and demonstrate native events matching each selected query arriving with the expected source identity/timestamps. Include disabled-query, denied-source, absent-channel, GPO refresh, idempotence, drift and recovery cases. Use a deliberately chosen benign native Application/System event or a controlled test account/object relevant to the query; record actual events, not merely a successful command or ACE. Forwarded Sigma coverage remains unassessed until those events and the processing pipeline are validated.
