Testing and launch checklist

This branch should remain separate from main until the following checks pass on real Windows hardware.

Automated checks

Install-Module Pester -Force -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module PSScriptAnalyzer -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path . -Recurse -Severity Warning,Error
Invoke-Pester -Path .\tests -Output Detailed

The GitHub Actions workflow runs the same classes of checks on windows-latest.

High-risk checks

  • Confirm SnapshotsOff behavior against current Microsoft documentation and the installed Windows build.
  • Confirm whether existing snapshots are deleted by policy on the test device.
  • Confirm feature removal and restoration with and without network access.
  • Confirm domain or MDM policy does not immediately overwrite local values.
  • Inspect backup permissions under %ProgramData%\RecallManager\Backups.
  • Confirm a pending restart is clearly reported.

Suggested beta label

v1.0.0-beta.1

Do not publish a stable v1.0.0 tag until supported-device testing and restore testing are complete.
