+    # HARD filesystem boundary: confines every path a tool resolves to a single

+    # Extracted VERBATIM from the insika-code prototype's `Workspace` (item 5)
+    # and promoted to a core primitive (item 35). The two layers of defense:
+    #   1. `File.expand_path` normalizes `..` traversal; the expanded path must be
+    #      the root itself or a descendant of it (string containment on a
+    #      separator boundary, so `/ws-evil` does not pass for root `/ws`).
+    #   2. symlink guard: the final path component may never be a symlink (an
+    #      lstat check that also catches a BROKEN symlink whose target does not
+    #      yet exist), and for an existing target (or, on writes, its parent dir)
+    #      the REAL path (`File.realpath`, which follows symlinks) must also be
