Observable Truths
#
Truth
Status
Evidence
1
AutoTakeOwnership defaults to false in AppSettings
VERIFIED
AppSettings.cs line 7: public bool AutoTakeOwnership { get; set; } = false;
2
Setting round-trips through SettingsRepository JSON persistence
VERIFIED
SettingsService.SetAutoTakeOwnershipAsync follows exact load/mutate/save pattern; test in OwnershipElevationServiceTests round-trips via JsonSerializer
3
SettingsViewModel exposes AutoTakeOwnership and persists on toggle
VERIFIED
SettingsViewModel.cs lines 42-53: property with fire-and-forget SetAutoTakeOwnershipAsync; loaded in LoadAsync line 81
4
Settings UI shows auto-take-ownership checkbox, OFF by default
PermissionsViewModel.cs line 254: when (IsAccessDenied(ex) && _ownershipService != null && autoOwnership) — all three must be true; test ScanLoop_ToggleOff_AccessDenied_ExceptionPropagates passes
8
Toggle ON + access denied: ElevateAsync called once, scan retried
VERIFIED
PermissionsViewModel.cs lines 255-271: catch block calls ElevateAsync then re-calls ScanSiteAsync; test ScanLoop_ToggleOn_AccessDenied_ElevatesAndRetries verifies call counts
9
Successful scans never call ElevateAsync
VERIFIED
No catch path entered on success; test ScanLoop_ScanSucceeds_ElevateNeverCalled passes
10
Auto-elevated entries have WasAutoElevated=true
VERIFIED
PermissionsViewModel.cs line 274: allEntries.AddRange(siteEntries.Select(e => e with { WasAutoElevated = true }))
11
Auto-elevated rows visually distinct in DataGrid (amber highlight)
Line 165: services.AddTransient<IOwnershipElevationService, OwnershipElevationService>()

Description

Evidence
OWN-01
18-01
User can enable/disable auto-take-ownership in settings (global toggle, OFF by default)
SATISFIED
AppSettings.AutoTakeOwnership + SettingsViewModel + SettingsView CheckBox — all wired and tested
OWN-02
18-02
App auto-takes site collection admin on access denied during scans (toggle ON)
SATISFIED
PermissionsViewModel scan-loop catch/elevate/retry + WasAutoElevated tagging + amber DataGrid row — all wired and tested
No orphaned requirements — both OWN-01 and OWN-02 declared in REQUIREMENTS.md are fully claimed and implemented.

Anti-Patterns Found
No blockers or warnings found.
OwnershipElevationService.ElevateAsync passes loginName as string.Empty (documented decision in 18-02-SUMMARY.md: Tenant.SetSiteAdmin uses the admin context implicitly; current-user fetch would require extra network round-trip).
No TODO/FIXME/placeholder comments in modified files.
No stub return patterns (empty arrays, static responses).
Human Verification Required
1. Settings Tab — Checkbox Default State
Test: Launch the app, open the Settings tab.
Expected: "Site Ownership" section visible; checkbox labeled "Automatically take site collection admin ownership on access denied" is unchecked by default.
Why human: WPF rendering and initial binding state cannot be verified programmatically.
2. Auto-Elevation End-to-End
Test: Configure a site the authenticated user cannot access. Enable the auto-take-ownership toggle. Run a permission scan against that site.
Expected: Scan completes (no error dialog), results appear with amber-highlighted rows and a warning icon (⚠) in the indicator column. Tooltip reads "This site was automatically elevated — ownership was taken to complete the scan".
Why human: Requires live SharePoint tenant with access-denied site; CSOM round-trip cannot be mocked in integration without real credentials.
Gaps Summary
No gaps. All 11 observable truths verified, all artifacts exist and are substantive and wired, all key links confirmed, both OWN-01 and OWN-02 requirements satisfied with evidence.
