AI Analysis
●●●BangerWizardryBig BrainNiche Gem
1400-line clean-room NTFS repair spec when ntfsfix can't handle real corruption.
Strengths
- •Clean-room approach ensures legal defensibility without touching proprietary code.
- •Covers corruption scenarios ntfsfix ignores: B-Tree rebuilds, journal replay, orphan recovery.
- •Pseudocode reference makes implementation feasible for open-source contributors.
Weaknesses
- •Specification-only — no working implementation exists yet to validate the approach.
- •Niche audience limits adoption; needs a champion to build the actual engine.
