fix: report Notification BootId as stored; remove unsourced doc claims - #47
Merged
Conversation
Documentation audit fixes. One behavior change: BootId was being converted as a Windows FILETIME and reported as 'Boot ID Time (UTC)', but nothing establishes the field is a timestamp (public wpndatabase research describes it as a boot sequence identifier), so a counter value would have rendered as a bogus 1601-era time. It is now reported as stored, with a test asserting the raw pass-through. Doc-only fixes: - windowsSystem notifications note no longer includes boot values in the FILETIME claim; arrival/expiry keep it (lab validated). - setupapi note attributed device-local times to Microsoft's documented SetupAPI logging behavior instead of inferring it from the missing UTC offset. - windowsApps Photos note: Alternate Date Taken described as a separate app-recorded date whose derivation is not documented, not a 'fallback'. - windowsApps Alarms: 'Days of Week (bitmask)' header now '(database value)' since the encoding is not established, and the notes state when Recurring is derived rather than stored.

Fixes from a documentation audit of artifacts touched 2026-07-29/30, applying the standard that notes and descriptions must not state what data means unless the data (or a cited source) proves it.
Behavior change
windowsSystem / Notifications:
Notification.BootIdwas converted as a Windows FILETIME and reported as "Boot ID Time (UTC)". Nothing in the repo establishes the field is a timestamp — the lab validation never covered BootId, the unit test only proved the conversion of a synthetic FILETIME it inserted itself, and public wpndatabase research describes BootId as a boot sequence identifier. A real counter value would have rendered as a bogus 1601-era timestamp in front of an examiner. The column is now "Boot ID (database value)", reported as stored, with a test asserting the raw pass-through.Documentation-only fixes
All 10 Windows artifact tests pass; lint gate clean.
