safe-chains 0.228.0

//! Cross-cutting path-operand gate (adversarial-review audit fix). The engine gates its 15
//! resolved commands' file reads/writes by locus (HP-20); the ~1600 legacy commands are a
//! parallel surface. `pathgates.toml` describes, per legacy command, the ROLE each path
//! argument plays — `read` (a disclosing read), `write` (a write-target), or `ignore` (a URL,
//! an `-i` identity, a converter's transcode input) — and a single walker here gates each path
//! by the matching locus face. Roles come from a positional policy (with `skip_first` /
//! `last_write` / `remote_aware` modifiers) plus a per-flag map; the three flat lists
//! (`read` / `read_tree_after_first` / `write`) are shorthand for the common positional policies.
//! `awk` is gated in its own handler instead (its regex programs contain `/` and `$`).
//!
//! Role assignment is authored knowledge, not inferred from spelling: the same `~/.ssh/id_rsa`
//! is a denied `read` for `scp` (exfil) but an `ignore` transcode input for `ffmpeg`. The gate
//! only ever turns an already-allowed verdict into `Denied` (`handlers::dispatch`); it can
//! never widen one.
