The errors are genuine access denials — the scripts themselves prepared and ran correctly; the write system call is what failed.\r\n\r\n### Final state verification\r\n\r\n`Test-Path` returned `False` for the target file. The `read-only` directory still contains only its original contents (`empty`, `nested`, `sample.json`), with no partial file created and no `new.txt` left behind.\r\n\r\n### Conclusion\r\n\r\nThe write operation was legitimately blocked by the read-only access control on the destination directory, across four independent mechanisms.
