🎯 What: Extracted repetitive boilerplate code from the overly long synthetic_ancestor_acl_rejects_untrusted_modification test function in src/windows_acl.rs into a new helper function check_synthetic_ancestor_acl.

💡 Why: The test previously stood at over 120 lines filled with largely duplicated setup for testing various ACL masks and ACE types. Extracting this into a declarative helper allows the assertions to be read clearly step-by-step, dramatically improving readability and isolating test state cleanly.

Verification: Verified by checking format, clippy rules, and running cargo test --lib. All tests pass, ensuring that no functionality was altered in the refactor.

Result: Improved maintainability of src/windows_acl.rs and better isolation between test validation stages.

Note

Low Risk
Test-only refactor and import reordering in Windows ACL code; no changes to runtime permission validation paths.

Overview
Refactors the long synthetic_ancestor_acl_rejects_untrusted_modification unit test by introducing check_synthetic_ancestor_acl, which builds a synthetic ACL with a given access mask, optionally overrides the ACE type, runs validate_ancestor_acl, and tears down SID allocation.

The test body becomes a short sequence of mask/final_target cases (reject untrusted delete-child, allow create-only on ancestor, reject final-target write/append/generic write, allow read-only, reject unknown ACE type) instead of repeated inline ACL setup and manual ACE mutation.

Import blocks in the same file are reordered only (including moving windows::core::{w, PWSTR}); production ACL logic is unchanged.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e9be6c3. Configure here.

Extract the setup logic (CurrentUser, PSID initialization, and synthetic ACL creation) into a reusable helper function `check_synthetic_ancestor_acl`.
This drastically reduces boilerplate code in the main test function and improves readability without altering test coverage.
