fix(javascript): keep Object.defineProperty identified at its own call

The call that escapes Object was treated as a prior replacement of
defineProperty, so a descriptor value never replaced the exported sender
and bundled IPC paths were dropped.

+# 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.
