Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Start with the linked forensic article, then inspect existing rules for comparable Windows registry behavior. Define coverage for deleting, renaming, and moving files across reboots, and consider the work done when those behaviors are represented and validated using the repository's conventions.
