Align EventViewerX release targets and first-run guidance - #157
I aligned the published library packages and the PowerShell module with the supported runtimes. The five NuGet libraries ship net472, net8.0 and net10.0. The module ZIP ships net472 and net8.0, with development and packaged imports selecting the same assembly family. Package checks cover the exact library targets and both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7 imports.
Mail delivery for evx report and evx watch now uses Mailozaurr 3.0.5 profiles, its protected secret store and its routed provider send service. Graph, SMTP, Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun and SES use the same profile ID and recipient options. I removed the unreleased EventViewerX SMTP JSON format. --mail-dry-run renders and resolves the selected profile without calling a provider, and watch does not acknowledge a batch or advance its checkpoint on a dry run. Report and watch outputs cannot overwrite the effective Mailozaurr profile or secret store, including the implicit default paths, linked directories and hard-link aliases. Pending watch batches retain their original profile and recipients; a changed destination holds the batch without sending or advancing its checkpoint. Show-EVXEvent -EmailPackage remains a transport-neutral rendering path; the guide shows how to send that package with Mailozaurr. No real mail was sent in validation.
The CLI lock graphs resolve System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs 10.0.14 with NuGetAudit enabled. I fixed the SDK-generated lock mismatch by selecting the already declared SDK 10.0.112 exactly in global.json; the strict Release build is a CI gate. Each CLI runtime and archive style now has its own publish directory, so a later style cannot clear an earlier style's checksum inputs. The benchmark entrypoints now build the supported net8.0 module instead of a removed net10.0-windows module target.
Docs/First-Run.md covers local, direct remote, collector and offline reports, a scheduled report, and Graph certificate and SMTP relay notification recipes. Docs/PowerShell-Guide.md shows the email package route.
API and migration
I kept the three released command aliases: Find-WinEvent -> Get-EVXEvent, Get-EVXFilter -> New-EVXFilter, and Write-EVXEntry -> Write-EVXEvent. I recommend marking them as legacy in the next major version, measuring use and giving users a migration window before deciding whether to remove them. I did not add aliases or command wrappers in W1.
I started the EventViewerX.Reports.* caller inventory in Docs/Legacy-Reports-Inventory.md. Its public facades remain in W1; consumer migration belongs in W2 or the reporting redesign.
Validation and follow-up
The strict Release solution build passes with NuGetAudit enabled and zero warnings. The .NET suite passes 3,408 tests with 3 skipped. The focused CLI Pester suite passes 63 tests, including profile and secret store collisions, linked-directory and hard-link collisions, query-summary and diagnostic input preservation, and pending-batch destination and recipient-casing changes. Graph and SMTP use fake send handlers in the tests; dry runs invoke neither. All 12 CLI archives build. With the isolated publish directories, the Windows x64 archive build and both packaged Graph/SMTP dry runs pass. A clean Linux x64 native publish generates its checksum catalog, and both archive styles pass separate native smoke checks and packaged Graph/SMTP dry runs. Matching CI runners qualify the other architectures.
The local PowerShell suite reaches six Event Log permission failures on an unprivileged host (classic source registration and Security log access); the other tests pass. CI's PowerShell jobs are required to be green before merge.
The first-run and migration paths provide follow-up for #84, #79, #42 and #86. These issues stay open until the released package and reporters' remaining questions can be checked. This PR prepares source and unsigned validation artifacts. The signed release follows through the normal key session after merge.

Walkthrough
The pull request changes library and module target frameworks, updates package validation and benchmark paths, and revises platform guidance. It also replaces SMTP-file delivery in the CLI with Mailozaurr profiles and records delivery destinations in pending outbox batches.
Changes: Framework Targets and Module Packaging
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Library targets and dependency locks Sources/EventViewerX*/..., Build/module.json
The five libraries replace netstandard2.1 and Windows-specific modern targets with net8.0 and net10.0, while retaining net472. Dependency records and lockfiles are updated for the new target frameworks.
PowerShell module targets and package layout Sources/PSEventViewer/..., PSEventViewer.psm1, Build/Test-ModulePackage.ps1, Build/release-validation.json
The module now targets net472 and net8.0. Framework selection uses Core or Default paths, and package checks require Core assets.
Build and package validation .github/workflows/test-dotnet.yml, .github/workflows/test-packages.yml, Build/Test-LibraryPackageTargets.ps1, Build/release-validation.json, global.json
The workflows add an audited Release build and package job. Package checks verify the expected library frameworks and dependency groups. The SDK roll-forward setting changes to disable.
Benchmark paths and platform guidance Benchmarks/*, Docs/*, README.md
Benchmark paths change to the applicable net8.0 or net10.0 outputs. Documentation updates framework and PowerShell support statements and adds first-run, scheduled-report, and legacy-report guidance.
Profile-Based CLI Mail Delivery
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Mail profile delivery and CLI integration Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/EventNotificationMailDelivery.cs, Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/Program*, Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/SmtpNotificationProfile.cs, Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/Program.Evidence.cs
Report and watch use a delivery class that validates profiles and recipients, then sends through Mailozaurr. Watch checks profile and recipient values before resuming a pending batch. Output-path checks include profile and secret stores.
Schema 2 manifests record the transport profile and trimmed recipients. Undelivered Schema 1 batches that require external transport but lack acknowledgement fail closed.
Mail delivery tests and usage examples Sources/EventViewerX.Tests/*, Tests/Cli.Tests.ps1, Tests/Fixtures/*, Docs/First-Run.md, Docs/PowerShell-Guide.md, README.md
Tests cover profile routing, dry runs, unsuccessful or queued sends, store-output collisions, and pending-batch mismatches. Documentation and fixtures show profile-based delivery.

The new cases verify only successful dry-run output. They do not verify that Auto and 1 produce the intended SmtpSecurityMode in SmtpSessionRequest. Expose the normalized/request mode through a dry-run test seam or diagnostic field, then assert it for both inputs. Mailozaurr.Internet 3.0.5 exposes SmtpSessionRequest.SecurityMode and connection-result security-mode properties for this observation. This adds compatibility coverage without claiming that current profiles use an incorrect live mode.

⚠️Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The removed netstandard publish target explicitly gathered Windows managed and SQLite native runtime files and rejected empty asset groups. The replacement net8.0 module path has no shown equivalent that guarantees the three SQLite architectures required by Build/Test-ModulePackage.ps1.
Package validation fails for missing Lib/Core/runtimes/win-*/native/e_sqlite3.dll; without that validation, storage on an affected PowerShell 7 architecture fails during module import or native preload.
This can occur when: A net8.0 publish or module build copies only the current RID's SQLite native file, or does not copy runtime-native files from transitive packages into the module ZIP.

Add a live-send CLI test that does not use --mail-dry-run.

Those cases do not detect a broken send wiring in EventNotificationMailDelivery.Create. Add a non-dry-run case that verifies the MailApplicationBuilder send path, or a test that checks the registered send handlers. Use a local SMTP or Graph test double, not a live provider.
Coverage details
The CLI tests exercise profile resolution through application.ProfileStore. They do not exercise application.Send. The unit tests use RoutedMailSendService with fake handlers, so they do not verify the handlers that MailApplicationBuilder registers.

This test covers the helper contract only. It does not verify that watch skips acknowledgement. The watch gates at Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/Program.Watch.cs:215 and :407 check the returned flags, and the helper throws before returning them. Testing the watch path needs a separate integration test.

Sources/EventViewerX.Reporting/EventNotificationOutbox.cs:88-92 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject external-transport batches that lack a profile or recipients.
Save accepts requiresExternalTransport: true with a null transportProfileId and an empty recipients sequence. It writes these values into a schema 2 manifest. Docs/Security.md states that schema 2 binds pending mail batches to their profile and recipients, so this batch violates that contract. When the watcher resumes it with a configured mail profile, the profile and recipient mismatch check throws. That throw runs before the per-batch failure handling, so the batch stays pending and the current resume pass stops before later batches.
Reject the combination in Save:
🐛 Suggested fix
string[] recipientSnapshot = recipients.Select(static recipient => recipient?.Trim() ?? string.Empty).ToArray();
if (recipientSnapshot.Any(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace)) {
throw new ArgumentException("Notification recipients cannot be empty.", nameof(recipients));
}
+ if (requiresExternalTransport &&+ (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(transportProfileId) || recipientSnapshot.Length == 0)) {+ throw new ArgumentException(+ "External transport batches require a transport profile and at least one recipient.",+ nameof(requiresExternalTransport));+ }
The two fail-closed tests, UnacknowledgedSchemaOneMailBatchFailsClosed and MissingManifestSchemaFailsClosedWithoutAcknowledgingLegacyBatch, build their external batches through the overload without a profile. Update them to pass a profile and recipients. Transport-neutral batches should keep requiresExternalTransport: false.

Make the schema-1 fixture match a real legacy manifest.
This test saves through the current Save overload and only lowers SchemaVersion, so the manifest still contains Recipients. A schema-1 manifest from the base build has neither TransportProfileId nor Recipients. The test therefore does not read a manifest without those properties. A future reader that requires them for schema 1 would still pass. The current reader does not require them, so this is a coverage gap, not a present failure.

Add a dry-run case for a matching pending batch, and count dry-run sends.
The two pending-batch cases only assert rejection. A watcher that rejected every pending external batch with the same message would still pass them. Their absence assertions can also pass when the watcher stops early. Neither check shows that a matching batch reaches the dry-run send.
No existing output shows that send. ResumedBatches increments only after a real send, so it stays at zero during a dry run. Add a DryRunBatches counter to the dry-run branch and to the summary file. The new case can then assert that the matching batch reached that branch and remains unacknowledged.

- Around line 333-341: Add a `DryRunBatches` counter to the dry-run branch in
the watcher’s pending-batch processing and include it in the summary file;
increment it when a matching batch reaches that branch without treating it as a
real send. In `Tests/Cli.Tests.ps1`, add a matching-profile-and-recipient
pending-batch case and assert the dry-run count is one, the resumed count is
zero, no mismatch is reported, and no delivery acknowledgment is created.

Compare absent output names case-sensitively on case-sensitive Windows directories.
On Windows, ValidateReportOutputPaths checks report outputs in a HashSet<string> that uses StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase. For an output that does not exist yet, ComparisonPath returns the case-preserving full path. Two absent outputs whose names differ only by case, such as A and a in one directory, produce keys that compare equal. The second Add call then throws "Report outputs and sidecars must be separate from every input, key, history file and other output." Windows can store both files when the directory has per-directory case sensitivity enabled, so the validation rejects two valid, distinct outputs.
Use a key comparison that follows the target directory's case-sensitivity setting. Check this setting before you choose the comparer. Do not apply a case-insensitive comparison to absent paths in a case-sensitive directory.

Review comment at @Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/Program.Paths.cs at line 35:
Update ComparisonPath and the output-key comparison used by
ValidateReportOutputPaths to honor the target directory’s case-sensitivity
setting: check that setting before choosing the comparer, and compare absent
paths case-sensitively in case-sensitive directories so distinct names such as A
and a remain separate.
Add a test for the missing-path branch of the output collision check.
ValidateQuerySummaryPath rejects a --summary-file that matches --write-store or another input path. The added hard-link test uses an existing input, so it reaches only the file-identity branch of ComparisonPath (Sources/EventViewerX.Cli/Program.Paths.cs:23-28). The missing-path branch (Program.Paths.cs:35) has no test. A regression there would not fail the suite.
Add a case where --write-store names a file that does not exist and --summary-file names the same path. Expect exit code 1 and the message --summary-file must be separate from query input and history files. The case needs no platform gate, because both values use the same spelling and match on every platform.

Review comment at @Tests/Cli.Tests.ps1 around lines 344 - 349:
Add a test for the missing-path branch of ValidateQuerySummaryPath where
--write-store and --summary-file use the same nonexistent path; assert exit code
1 and the expected separation error message, without a platform gate.
Add a checkpoint-preservation case to the pending-batch mismatch test.
The test at Tests/Cli.Tests.ps1:363-400 uses a manifest with Checkpoints = @() and configures no checkpoint store. Its assertions cover only the exit code, the error text, and the absence of delivery.json. A change that advances a checkpoint before it rejects a changed recipient or profile would leave these assertions unchanged, so the test would still pass.
Add a case that configures a checkpoint store and a non-empty Checkpoints list in the manifest. Assert that the checkpoint state is unchanged after the mismatch rejection.

What changed
I aligned the published library packages and the PowerShell module with the supported runtimes. The five NuGet libraries ship net472, net8.0 and net10.0. The module ZIP ships net472 and net8.0, with development and packaged imports selecting the same assembly family. Package checks cover the exact library targets and both Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7 imports.
Mail delivery for
evx reportandevx watchnow uses Mailozaurr 3.0.5 profiles, its protected secret store and its routed provider send service. Graph, SMTP, Gmail, SendGrid, Mailgun and SES use the same profile ID and recipient options. I removed the unreleased EventViewerX SMTP JSON format.--mail-dry-runrenders and resolves the selected profile without calling a provider, and watch does not acknowledge a batch or advance its checkpoint on a dry run. Report and watch outputs cannot overwrite the effective Mailozaurr profile or secret store, including the implicit default paths, linked directories and hard-link aliases. Pending watch batches retain their original profile and recipients; a changed destination holds the batch without sending or advancing its checkpoint.Show-EVXEvent -EmailPackageremains a transport-neutral rendering path; the guide shows how to send that package with Mailozaurr. No real mail was sent in validation.The CLI lock graphs resolve
System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs10.0.14 with NuGetAudit enabled. I fixed the SDK-generated lock mismatch by selecting the already declared SDK 10.0.112 exactly inglobal.json; the strict Release build is a CI gate. Each CLI runtime and archive style now has its own publish directory, so a later style cannot clear an earlier style's checksum inputs. The benchmark entrypoints now build the supported net8.0 module instead of a removed net10.0-windows module target.Docs/First-Run.mdcovers local, direct remote, collector and offline reports, a scheduled report, and Graph certificate and SMTP relay notification recipes.Docs/PowerShell-Guide.mdshows the email package route.API and migration
I kept the three released command aliases:
Find-WinEvent->Get-EVXEvent,Get-EVXFilter->New-EVXFilter, andWrite-EVXEntry->Write-EVXEvent. I recommend marking them as legacy in the next major version, measuring use and giving users a migration window before deciding whether to remove them. I did not add aliases or command wrappers in W1.I started the
EventViewerX.Reports.*caller inventory inDocs/Legacy-Reports-Inventory.md. Its public facades remain in W1; consumer migration belongs in W2 or the reporting redesign.Validation and follow-up
The strict Release solution build passes with NuGetAudit enabled and zero warnings. The .NET suite passes 3,408 tests with 3 skipped. The focused CLI Pester suite passes 63 tests, including profile and secret store collisions, linked-directory and hard-link collisions, query-summary and diagnostic input preservation, and pending-batch destination and recipient-casing changes. Graph and SMTP use fake send handlers in the tests; dry runs invoke neither. All 12 CLI archives build. With the isolated publish directories, the Windows x64 archive build and both packaged Graph/SMTP dry runs pass. A clean Linux x64 native publish generates its checksum catalog, and both archive styles pass separate native smoke checks and packaged Graph/SMTP dry runs. Matching CI runners qualify the other architectures.
The local PowerShell suite reaches six Event Log permission failures on an unprivileged host (classic source registration and Security log access); the other tests pass. CI's PowerShell jobs are required to be green before merge.
The first-run and migration paths provide follow-up for #84, #79, #42 and #86. These issues stay open until the released package and reporters' remaining questions can be checked. This PR prepares source and unsigned validation artifacts. The signed release follows through the normal key session after merge.
