Volatile.Read is technically more thread-safe than a direct read. Unlikely to be necessary, but better safe than sorry.

throw new ObjectDisposedException(nameof(ACLProcessorContext));

I used this pattern once with adaptive timeout stuff. Interlocked basically acts as a super slim lock.

_aclGuidCache.Dispose();

Kept in here so it can be type-referenced via ACLProcessor.GuidCache

Scope GUID mappings by domain.

Line 57 stores LAPS mappings by GUID only, while build tasks are scoped by domain. If one ACLProcessorContext processes domains with different schemas that reuse a GUID, the first mapping remains because TryAdd ignores the later mapping. Line 750 can then emit ReadLAPSPassword for the wrong domain.

Key _guidMap by both domain and GUID. Pass domain to AddGuid and TryGetGuid. Add a regression test that processes two domains with the same GUID mapped to different schema attributes.

In `@src/CommonLib/Processors/ACLProcessor.cs` around lines 57 - 74, Scope
ACLProcessorContext GUID mappings by both domain and GUID instead of GUID alone,
so later domains can use their own schema mapping. Update AddGuid and TryGetGuid
and all callers, including the LAPS processing path near ReadLAPSPassword, to
accept and pass domain; preserve the existing build-task domain scoping. Add a
regression test covering two domains that reuse one GUID with different schema
attributes and verify each domain emits its own mapping.
