On Linux, run the interactive application as your normal desktop user. BadBuilder invokes its own hidden disk helper through `sudo` only for preparation and cleanup. The helper independently re-enumerates the selected disk, verifies its fingerprint, takes a per-device lease, normally unmounts child volumes, creates an MBR with one `BADUPDATE` FAT32 partition, and mounts it below `/run/badbuilder/<uid>/<token>` with `nodev,nosuid,noexec` and caller ownership. It flushes and normally unmounts the USB when installation ends. It never uses force or lazy unmounting.

On Windows, launch from an Administrator terminal. BadBuilder excludes the Windows system disk, accepts USB/removable media only, requires every volume lock and dismount to succeed, revalidates identity immediately before formatting, and waits for drive-letter reassignment after refreshing the partition table.
On Windows, the published `win-x64` executable includes an administrator manifest and may show a UAC elevation prompt when launched normally; launching from an Administrator terminal also works. BadBuilder additionally checks its administrator privileges at runtime. It excludes the Windows system disk, accepts USB/removable media only, requires every volume lock and dismount to succeed, revalidates identity immediately before formatting, and waits for drive-letter reassignment after refreshing the partition table. The Linux executable has no elevation manifest.

Ctrl+C cancels downloads, extraction, and other preflight work. Once the exact device-path confirmation has been accepted and formatting starts, cancellation is deferred until disk cleanup finishes.
