fallow-engine 3.30.0

//! Confine the files that a run writes on request (baselines, snapshots and
//! report files) to the project.
//!
//! A path must resolve inside the project root, or inside the Git work tree
//! that contains the root when the working directory is inside that tree too,
//! or inside a shared directory: the CI workspace (`GITHUB_WORKSPACE`, GitLab
//! `CI_PROJECT_DIR`) and the temp directories (`RUNNER_TEMP`, the system temp
//! directory), each when it is set. An existing character device or named
//! pipe (`/dev/null`, `/dev/stdout`, process substitution) is also allowed,
//! because a write to it cannot put a file anywhere. On Windows the null
//! device (`NUL`) is allowed for the same reason.
//!
//! The command line layer checks each path before the analysis starts and
//! then records the scope with [`confine`]. The writers call [`create_file`]
//! or [`write_file`], which resolve and check the path again right before the
//! write and do not follow a symlink at the final component.
//!
//! This narrows the window for a path that another local user swaps for a
//! symlink, from the whole analysis to the moment of the write. It does not
//! close the window for an intermediate directory: a directory swapped
//! between the last parent check and the open call is still followed. On
//! Windows the final component is checked just before the open, so a small
//! window stays there too.
//!
//! Symlinks are resolved on both sides: on the part of the path that exists,
//! and on each allowed directory. So a link inside the root that points
//! outside it does not open a way out, and `/var` and `/private/var` on macOS
//! compare equal.
