+ * Detects suspicious Windows path patterns that could bypass security checks.

+ * - Long path prefixes (e.g., \\?\C:\..., \\.\C:\..., //?/C:/..., //./C:/...)
+ * - Trailing dots and spaces (e.g., .git., .claude , .bashrc...)
+ * - DOS device names (e.g., .git.CON, settings.json.PRN, .bashrc.AUX)
+ * - Three or more consecutive dots (e.g., .../file.txt, path/.../file, file...txt)
+ *
+ * When detected, these paths should always require manual approval to prevent
+ * bypassing security checks through path canonicalization vulnerabilities.
+ *
+ * ## Why Check on All Platforms?
+ *
+ * While these patterns are primarily Windows-specific, NTFS filesystems can be
+ * mounted on Linux and macOS (e.g., using ntfs-3g). On these systems, the same
+ * bypass techniques would work - an attacker could use short names or long path
+ * prefixes to bypass security checks. Therefore, we check for these patterns on
+ * all platforms to ensure comprehensive protection. (Note: the ADS colon check
+ * is Windows/WSL-only, since colon syntax is only interpreted by the Windows
+ * kernel; on Linux/macOS, NTFS ADS is accessed via xattrs, not colon syntax.)
+ *
+ * ## Why Detection Instead of Normalization?
+ *
+ * An alternative approach would be to normalize these paths using Windows APIs
+ * (e.g., GetLongPathNameW). However, this approach has significant challenges:
+ *
+ * 1. **Filesystem dependency**: Short path normalization is relative to files that
+ *    currently exist on the filesystem. This creates issues when writing to new
+ *    files since they don't exist yet and cannot be normalized.
+ *
+ * 2. **Race conditions**: The filesystem state can change between normalization
+ *    and actual file access, creating TOCTOU (Time-Of-Check-Time-Of-Use) vulnerabilities.
+ *
+ * 3. **Complexity**: Proper normalization requires Windows-specific APIs, handling
+ *    multiple edge cases, and dealing with various path formats (UNC, device paths, etc.).
+ *
+ * 4. **Reliability**: Pattern detection is more predictable and doesn't depend on
+ *    external system state.
+ *
+ * If you are considering adding normalization for these paths, please reach out to
+ * AppSec first to discuss the security implications and implementation approach.
