Review of #17886 found three ways the reader could still perform, or silently resume, the primitive it exists to remove. The class-missing latch was a permanent, process-wide, one-way downgrade back to the PEB read, and any single target returning STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS / NOT_SUPPORTED / NOT_IMPLEMENTED could trip it. On an EDR-hooked ntdll -- the entire premise of this change -- a hook that does not recognise class 60 would have restored PROCESS_VM_READ plus three ReadProcessMemory per pid per scan for the life of the process, unobservably, on precisely the machines this was written for. The fallback is deleted rather than guarded: GetProcessCommandLine now returns false and leaves the command line empty, which callers already handle, so the addon imports no ReadProcessMemory at all. That absence is what makes the property checkable on the artifact. The published 0.8.0 tarball ships a loadable prebuilt built from unpatched source; it is node-addon-api, so a bare require() accepts it, allowBuilds is false and CI installs with --ignore-scripts, and a rebuild that soft-exits on a Windows file lock leaves it in place. Source-text guards could never see it. windowsProcessTreeAddonReadsProcessMemory() checks the compiled binary instead, and is wired into the install check, the rebuild, and the relay build. The repair itself never worked: `git apply` run inside a work tree prefixes patch paths with the cwd-relative prefix, skips what does not match, and exits 0, so the branch always fell through to its own post-check throw. The package dir is always under the project root, while the fixture that covered it was in %TEMP%, outside any repo. Blinding git with GIT_DIR fixes it, and the test now runs inside a real work tree. Also from review: bounds-check the returned UNICODE_STRING against the allocation (not the size the second query clobbers) and cap the probe so a bogus length cannot bad_alloc a whole scan; test NT_SUCCESS explicitly; value- initialize ProcessInfo, which left `memory` as stack garbage -- measured, 82 processes reported the same bogus working set; and correct a comment in windows-process-table.ts that still described the command line as a PEB read. Re-measured on Windows 11 (543 processes): ReadProcessMemory 1128 -> 0, with the symbol absent from the import table so the IAT hook finds no slot to count; desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000 on all 543 opens; p50 13.5 -> 12.3ms; 405/405 command lines byte-identical including a 24,087-character quoted non-ASCII argv and a WOW64 target; 3 processes recovered only by the new path, 0 only by the old.
