Outcome

Dissected representative path-not-found failures from the recursive permission repair. This supersedes the earlier simple interpretation that the exact failed paths were missing.

Corrected Conclusion

The representative failures are not permission failures and are not necessarily missing files. They are primarily long-path / tooling path-resolution issues.

Evidence

• Several paths that normal Get-Item reported as missing are visible by browsing their parent folders.
• The same sample paths work with the Windows extended-length path prefix \\?\.
• Extended-path ACL readback shows CORP\saguiar FullControl and BUILTIN\Administrators FullControl on the sample files.
• Some earlier reconstructed paths had false spaces introduced by wrapped log lines, such as deceas ed instead of deceased and Wood_Es tate instead of Wood_Estate.

Sample Checks

• Path length 322: exists via extended path; Sam FullControl; Administrators FullControl.
• Path length 303: exists via extended path; Sam FullControl; Administrators FullControl.
• Path length 262: exists via extended path; Sam FullControl; Administrators FullControl.

Meaning

The recursive permission repair succeeded at the root level and on representative long-path files. The 254-row failure list should be treated as a long-path investigation queue, not a missing-file inventory.
