 - Removed legacy Win1/Win2/Win3 workspace assumptions in favor of the three named workstation profiles.
 - Unified the generic portable executable and archive transfer behavior.
 - Added optional PowerShell transcripts.
+- Disabled USB selective suspend on AC and DC for the active power scheme, then reactivated that scheme. This prevents Windows power management from suspending a connected diagnostic interface during an authorized session.
+- Multi-PROG documentation downloads now use `automotive-resources.json`, and the duplicate portable CLI `PATH` update was removed.

+- PowerShell parser validation completed without errors.
+- All seven JSON configuration files completed `ConvertFrom-Json` validation.
+- The installer catalog correctly separates portable utilities from licensed/OEM applications and launches vendor installers interactively.
+- USB selective-suspend guidance is now backed by an executed configuration step; hibernation remains disabled.
+- No live vendor downloads, hardware drivers, or vehicle communication tests were executed during this source revalidation. Those require the intended Windows installation, approved interface, and authorized bench or vehicle.
