Reject whitespace that changes the standalone executable path.

If the wrapper contains set "OCX_BUN= C:\OpenCodex\ocx.exe", generatedBatchSetValue trims the leading space. The probe can then match C:\OpenCodex\ocx.exe against the runtime assignment and scheduler state, although the batch variable contains a different executable path. Reject leading or trailing whitespace in OCX_BUN and the compared runtime path before normalizing them. Add a regression case with otherwise valid scheduler state.

Update the OCX_BUN validation around generatedBatchSetValue so leading or
trailing whitespace in the raw batch value and compared runtime path is rejected
before normalization. Preserve existing matching and scheduler-state checks for
valid paths, and add a regression case with otherwise valid scheduler state.

Compare the registered action with the staged launcher.

If the staged task names launcher A and the registered task names launcher B, both chains can pass walkWindowsChain and name the same homes. Line 898 then accepts B because it compares the registered action with a path extracted from that same registered XML. The probe reports the staged claim as present, although Task Scheduler launches B.

Extract the launcher from the staged XML and require the registered action to name that launcher. Keep the separate registered-chain validation to check the files behind the action. Add a regression test with two valid launchers under the configuration directory that name the same homes.

Update the scheduled-task probe to extract the expected launcher from the staged
XML and compare the registered action against it, rather than deriving the
expected launcher from registration.registeredXml; keep the separate
registered-chain validation. Add a regression test with two valid launchers
under the configuration directory that name the same homes, confirming the
mismatched registered launcher is not reported as present.

domain to query. The probe returns what it saw and does not decide ownership; callers such as
`src/integrations/native/ownership-preflight.ts` compare the homes. Every command it runs is
read-only and time-bounded, so it is safe while the proxy runs under that same manager.
On Windows, the generated-wrapper check accepts package installs that invoke the source CLI.
A standalone wrapper that invokes `start` directly must carry the generated protocol and runtime
markers, one quoted `OCX_BUN` assignment, and no `OCX_CLI` assignment in either quoting form.
Its executable lines and control-flow order must match the standalone script emitted by
`src/service/windows-taskxml.ts`; added jumps, exits, calls, labels, or commands make the probe unknown.
When Task Scheduler reports a registered task, the probe also requires its action to contain exactly
one Exec with the generated `wscript.exe` command and exact `/b /nologo` launcher arguments.
A foreign command or additional action makes ownership unknown even if the wrapper and homes agree.
Its executable must be absolute, end in `.exe`, and agree with `bunPath` in every readable service
state record for the scheduler backend with `cliPath: null`. Missing, malformed, or contradictory
state leaves the probe unknown; it cannot authorize unattended native Codex writes.
The state records a lexical executable path, not an install-time file identity or digest. A
retargeted junction or replacement at the same path is therefore outside this probe's evidence;
resolving the path only at probe time cannot establish which file the installer recorded.
