Research direction

The issue names GlobalUnlock and links its Microsoft documentation, but provides no crate code, file, or test. Start by comparing the documented API return semantics with the generated metadata and its handling of GetLastError. Done means the return-value behavior is confirmed and any required metadata correction has a regression check.
