-# Implementation plan
-
-## Boundary and contract
-
-Follow the existing artifact readers. `src/domain/windows/ntfsMft.ts` owns FILE
-record bytes and coverage; `src/domain/artifactFormatMetadata.ts` owns the
-`ntfs-mft` result schema. `NtfsMftArtifactReader` reads the admitted file
-through `ArtifactFileSource` and exposes its facts through `formatMetadata()`.
-A record stream is its own content, so the root occurrence carries every fact
-and no members are enumerated.
-
-Recognition lives in `hasMftFileRecordSignature` and is applied in
-`classifyArtifactBytes`, next to the other unambiguous magic probes.
-
-## Incremental work and validation
-
-1. Define the first-step contract, limits and observations; add parser fixtures.
-2. Implement the FILE record header and update-sequence fixup parse with
-   explicit limitations.
-3. Add the reader, format descriptor and byte classification.
-4. Decode attribute records, then `$FILE_NAME` attributes so a record's parent
-   reference, names and timestamps become explicit; keep hard links separate.
-5. Parse `$UsnJrnl:$J` records and correlate them to records by full file
-   reference, including sequence numbers, reporting unresolved references.
-6. Document the workflow in a native Windows artifact guide.
-
-## Effects and compatibility
-
-The workflow reads one caller-selected local file. It adds no target execution,
-injection, mutation, protection recovery, network access, volume mount or live
-filesystem access, so no maintainer scope decision is required.
-`inspect_artifact` routing for every existing format is unchanged, and the new
-format id appears only for bytes whose first record carries the `FILE`
-signature.

-# NTFS $MFT and USN Journal inspection
-
-This specification records an implementation increment and its original problem
-statement. For current behavior and limitations, see the artifact inventory
-guide.
-
-## Problem and outcome
-
-REA has no reader for acquired NTFS metadata artifacts. An analyst holding a
-captured `$MFT` stream cannot ask which FILE records it contains, whether their
-update-sequence fixups survived acquisition, or which records are directories,
-extensions of another record, or no longer in use. Add offline, read-only
-inventory of a selected `$MFT` file, delivered in steps so each one merges on
-its own.
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Recognize a `$MFT` stream by a plausible first `FILE` record header under
-  any file name. CLI and MCP target admission route it to the artifact reader.
-- Validate each FILE record header: the `FILE` signature, sequence number, flags,
-  used and total byte counts, base record reference, and the update-sequence
-  array's offset, count and array bounds.
-- Verify the update-sequence fixups: every sector trailer the array covers must
-  hold the array's sequence number. A mismatch keeps the record's header facts
-  and is reported per record and in the metadata count.
-- Report a missing, misplaced or short update-sequence array as unverified
-  rather than as a clean record, and a trailing partial record as a byte count.
-- Report the first invalid record signature and the number of invalid slots.
-  Continue at the next slot when the stream declared a supported record size.
-  With a fallback record size, stop at the first invalid signature.
-- Bound the whole file at a fixed 512 MiB ceiling and report the ceiling as a
-  `limit` failure with its boundary.
-- Return the first 32 decoded record headers with their source offsets and the
-  number of omitted headers. Aggregate counts cover the full parsed stream.
-- Parse only the records' headers and fixups. Attributes, filenames, data
-  streams and the `$UsnJrnl:$J` journal are not decoded in this step, so no path,
-  file size, file reference correlation or change history is claimed.
-
-## Acceptance
-
-Synthesized fixtures cover a clean record, a failed fixup, a missing update
-sequence array, an array shorter than the record's sector count, extension and
-directory records, a record whose signature is wrong mid-stream, a trailing
-partial record, an undeclared record size, a 4 KiB record, a stream shorter than
-one header, bytes without the `FILE` signature, and the file-size ceiling.
-Inventory tests cover the root occurrence's metadata and the coverage status
-when a fixup fails, and classification tests cover several file names for the
-same bytes.
-
-Not covered in this step: real `$MFT` files written by a Windows host, USN
-journal records, attribute decoding, and any correlation between the two.
