Oliver Kieselbach 197de1d718 fix(agent): the IME log tracker verifies and rewinds when a concurrent IME process overwrote bytes behind its bookmark; executor lines belong to the invocation at their file position (D-246)
IME's trace listener opens every log once per process with FileMode.Append and FileShare.ReadWrite
and writes at its own stream position afterwards. AgentExecutor.exe (two processes per user-context
script, one per detection script) has such a listener on AgentExecutor.log and on
IntuneManagementExtension.log, so a process that resumes logging after another one appended
overwrites those bytes: the final file holds the last writer, a byte-position tailer has read the
first version. Session 46749560 lost 6 of 16 platform-script results and 4 of 16 executor end
blocks with every tracker health counter at zero — results fell back to the exit code (one Success
where IME said Failed), one finished script stayed Incomplete. The agentexecutor_fallback results
in the fleet are this race, not late IME logging.

The tracker now keeps a fingerprint ledger of every entry it processed from the two multi-writer
files (FNV-1a 64 over the decoded bytes, one CmTraceEntryAssembler shared by the read loop and the
verification so entry boundaries are identical by construction), verifies it on every script end
signal, on a byte-budgeted cadence while an invocation is in flight (256 KB/s, at least 1 s
apart), in a 4 KB guard zone on every growth pass and on a fragment at the bookmark, and rewinds
to the first changed entry; entries whose (offset, hash) still read unchanged are skipped,
everything else is processed as backlog (never fresh, never a calibration anchor). The
policyId-less executor lines are owned by the nearest preceding invocation marker in their file
(PS-AGENT-ARG opens, PS-AGENT-SCRIPT-START upgrades to the platform script, PS-AGENT-INVOCATION and
PS-AGENT-COMPLETED close) instead of a last-started pointer, so an end block a rewind uncovers
reaches its own script. Restart seeds the ledger from the 64 KB behind the persisted bookmark;
a rollover clears it. Four restart-safe counters (ime_overwrite_rewinds,
ime_overwrite_bytes_reprocessed, ime_verify_passes, ime_verified_bytes) ride agent_metrics_snapshot
and ime_pattern_hits — recovered data, not skipped work, no new event type.

Tests: ImeLogTrackerOverwriteRewindTests (15) drive the positional-overwrite write pattern against
both files, including the two field scenarios with the shipped patterns; agent suite 2921 green,
backend known-actions list extended for the two new patterns.
