followed as a symlink. Unlike opening a re-resolved path, this is atomic:
the kernel either opens the real inode at that path or fails, so a symlink
swapped in after the caller's ``validate_path`` cannot redirect the open

model write from redirecting the write outside the root -- the symmetric
counterpart of the read-side content leak (CWE-59, GHSA-f794 class).
Corpora/data files are never symlinks, so refusing a final-component
symlink outright is fail-closed.

name for the same inode with no symlink to resolve, so an in-root hardlink
