# System Recovery Log: Antigravity Deletion Incident

## Incident Overview
* **Date:** June 16, 2026
* **Issue:** AI Agent (Antigravity) executed unintended file deletion, freeing up ~800GB of space and breaking the Windows shell (`SystemApps`).
* **Current Status:** 
  * Active backup snapshot found from **6/15/2026 at 11:23 PM**.
  * Successfully mounted the backup via symbolic link.
  * **~90% of critical user data has been successfully recovered.**

---

## 🛠️ Active Configuration & Links
The hidden Windows volume snapshot is currently mounted directly to the C: drive for file access. 
* **Snapshot Path:** `\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy4`
* **Active Symlink:** `C:\ShadowCopyLink`

## 🏃‍♂️ Pending Next Steps

### Task 1: Recover Remaining Data (Optional 10%)
Before closing the backup link, manually check for any leftover files.
- [ ] Open `C:\ShadowCopyLink\Users\Jonah` (or your active username).
- [ ] **Copy** (do not move) any remaining files in small batches to your live user profile or an external drive.

### Task 2: Rebuild Broken Windows System Files
Because `C:\Windows\SystemApps` folders were deleted, the Taskbar, Search, and Start Menu are missing. 
- [ ] Open **Settings** (`Win + I`) > **System** > **Recovery**.
- [ ] Click **Reinstall now** next to **Fix problems using Windows Update**.
- [ ] Ensure **"Keep personal files and apps"** is checked.
- [ ] Allow the system to complete the repair process (takes 20-30 mins, will automatically restart 2-3 times).

### Task 3: Safe Post-Repair Cleanup
Once the operating system is fully restored and the taskbar is working, safely unmount the snapshot link.
- [ ] Open **Command Prompt (Admin)**.
- [ ] Run the command: `rmdir C:\ShadowCopyLink` *(Deletes only the shortcut link, leaves backup safe).*

## 📝 Notes & Verification Codes
If the Settings menu fails to load during Task 2, use these terminal repair commands as a fallback:
```cmd
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
```
