Parse Pickle extents once at the ASAR boundary and carry finalized signature
facts through root and nested classification. Scan JSON whitespace within its
declared extent and decode budget without retaining the whitespace prefix.
Keep prefix storage bounded independently of stream chunk ownership.
Fill fixed ASAR prefixes and DMG trailers across short reads, preserve
cancellation through admission and stream EOF, and retain existing cleanup
ownership. Cover public CLI/MCP selection, root/nested inventory, malformed
JSON whitespace and padding, limits, native/XML consumers and descriptor faults.
Validation: 24 focused files / 170 tests; full check; docs check; test discovery.
Official inert ASAR fixtures and controlled descriptor faults were exercised;
real Electron execution, Windows and natural OS short-read frequency remain
unverified. Equivalent compact CLI tasks returned identical results and reply
token estimates; repeated timings do not establish a speedup.

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.
