Session 4d5a0b78: WMI Win32_Process.GetOwner failed on every single DAD poll
(wmiErrorCount == pollCount from the first poll on), so the explorer.exe
owner was never resolved, desktop_arrived never fired, and the Desktop half
of the completion AND-gate starved — the session sat in AwaitingDesktop
forever even though the gate-starvation synthesis (d3abbacd) had correctly
opened the AccountSetup gate.
Owner resolution is now WTSQuerySessionInformation(WTSUserName/WTSDomainName)
keyed by the process's session id as the primary path — a single kernel
round-trip with no WinMgmt dependency, and semantically the right question
anyway (explorer.exe runs as the session's logged-on user). The previous WMI
GetOwner path remains as fallback when WTS yields no user.
- New WtsNativeMethods interop (wtsapi32) with buffer-safe QuerySessionString
- DesktopArrivalDetector.ResolveOwner: WTS first, WMI fallback, injectable
test seams (SessionOwnerResolver/ProcessOwnerResolver)
- first_poll/no_candidate liveness payloads now carry wtsErrorCount alongside
wmiErrorCount so the broken path is visible per device
V2.Core 1327/1327 green; WTS path live-verified (AzureAD\user shape matches
the existing IsExcludedUser contract).
