## Overview

1. **Overall shape**
   This repository is a **single PowerShell console toolkit** for Windows System Restore management. Architecturally, it is not a multi-service application: the repo centers on one script, `RestauracionSistema.ps1`, plus documentation.

2. **Primary runtime boundary**
   The whole tool runs inside **PowerShell on Windows 10/11**, and its behavior depends on **administrator privileges** and **System Protection** being enabled. Those are hard operating-system boundaries, not internal modules.

3. **User entry point**
   The script is started manually from an elevated PowerShell session. The user interacts through a **text-based console menu** rather than a GUI, API, or background job.

4. **Access control layer**
   Before any restore-point operations are exposed, the script performs a **username validation check**. Only the configured authorized user (`Hugo Arcones Martinez`) is allowed to continue. This is an application-level gate in front of all other functionality.

5. **Interactive control flow**
   After validation, the script enters a **menu loop** that repeatedly presents available actions and dispatches based on user input. This loop is the main orchestration mechanism of the toolkit.

6. **Information and status path**
   One branch of the menu is a **startup/info section** that explains available functions and the tool’s purpose. It does not modify system state; it is purely informational and helps orient the operator.

7. **Restore-point creation path**
   The creation branch collects a **custom restore-point name** from the user and then calls Windows’ `Checkpoint-Computer` with `MODIFY_SETTINGS`. This is the main write operation in the system and requires elevated permissions.

8. **Restore-point read/query path**
   The listing branch uses `Get-ComputerRestorePoint` to retrieve all available restore points from the local machine. A separate search branch filters those results by a name entered by the user, so the data flow is: **system restore store → PowerShell cmdlet output → console display**.

9. **Error and capability constraints**
   The script’s success depends on OS-level features being present and enabled. If the machine lacks administrator rights or System Protection is off, the core create/list operations will be limited or fail. These constraints define the operational envelope of the toolkit.

10. **Subsystem boundaries**
   The architecture breaks cleanly into four conceptual subsystems:
   - **Access control**
   - **Menu/orchestration**
   - **Restore-point command execution**
   - **Console output / exit control**
   There are no network calls, databases, or external services.

11. **Deployment and packaging**
   The repository is essentially **script-and-docs only**. The README describes how to rename and run the script, indicating this is a lightweight administrative utility rather than a packaged application with build steps or runtime dependencies beyond PowerShell itself.
