## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Enumerate target threads
WhiteMagic SHALL enumerate the threads belonging to the target process and expose each as a controllable thread handle.
#### Scenario: enumerate returns the target's threads
- **WHEN** the threads of an open target are enumerated
- **THEN** the result MUST contain a handle for each thread owned by the target process and none owned by other processes
#### Scenario: resolve the main thread
- **WHEN** the main thread is requested
- **THEN** it MUST return the earliest-created thread of the target process
#### Scenario: get a thread by id
- **WHEN** a thread is requested by its thread id
- **THEN** it MUST return a handle bound to that thread, or fail deterministically if the id is not a thread of the target
### Requirement: Suspend and resume a thread
WhiteMagic SHALL suspend and resume an individual target thread and report the prior suspend count.
#### Scenario: suspend increments the suspend count
- **WHEN** a running thread is suspended
- **THEN** the thread MUST stop executing and the returned prior suspend count MUST reflect its state before the call
#### Scenario: resume restores execution
- **WHEN** a previously suspended thread is resumed to a zero suspend count
- **THEN** the thread MUST resume executing
### Requirement: Read and write thread context
WhiteMagic SHALL read and write a target thread's register context, selecting the context layout that matches the target's bitness.
#### Scenario: round-trip a register value
- **WHEN** a thread's context is read, a register is modified, and the context is written back
- **THEN** a subsequent read MUST reflect the modified register value
#### Scenario: bitness-correct context
- **WHEN** the target is a 32-bit (WOW64) process
- **THEN** the WOW64 context layout MUST be used, and for a 64-bit target the native layout MUST be used
### Requirement: Scoped thread freeze
WhiteMagic SHALL provide a scoped freeze that suspends a selected set of target threads and resumes exactly those threads when the scope is disposed, including when the guarded body throws.
#### Scenario: freeze suspends selected threads
- **WHEN** a freeze scope is created over a set of threads
- **THEN** each of those threads MUST be suspended for the duration of the scope
#### Scenario: dispose resumes only the frozen threads
- **WHEN** the freeze scope is disposed
- **THEN** exactly the threads it suspended MUST be resumed, and threads suspended by other callers MUST be left unchanged
#### Scenario: exception in the body still resumes
- **WHEN** the guarded body throws before the scope is disposed
- **THEN** the frozen threads MUST still be resumed as the scope unwinds
