Two implementations of the same path-containment check existed in the tree, and they were not equivalent.

  • ZipUtils.unzipFile (common) checked only outFile.canonicalPath.startsWith(destDirPath) — no lexical rejection of a .. segment, and nothing stopping an entry writing through a symlink already present at its target.
  • AssetsInstallationHelper.extractZipToDir (app) had the thorough version: lexical reject, Path.startsWith, a refusal to follow an existing symlink, and a hand-rolled per-parent cache over toRealPath.

Each carried a comment asking whoever fixed one to remember the other. They had already drifted by the time anyone read both.

One algorithm

ContainedPathResolver, in common/utils/PathTraversal.kt. The file is plain java.io/java.nio with no Android dependency and app already depends on common, so the reason the copies gave for existing — "this module can't depend on that one" — was never true in the direction that mattered.

Two hand-rolled checks elsewhere are not migrated here: ZipRecipeExecutor and PluginLoader (ADFA-5266). So this is one fewer copy, not yet the only one, and the KDoc says so.

A bug fixed on the way

The installer rejected any entry name containing .., so an archive holding a legitimately named notes..txt aborted the whole asset installation. Only a literal .. segment can name a parent directory, so the per-segment rule gives up nothing. Test: extracts an entry whose name merely contains a double dot, which fails against the old rule.

Deliberate narrowing

Against ZipUtils' old canonical-prefix check, an entry like a/../b.txt normalizes back inside the base and used to extract. It now fails the archive, matching what the installer already enforced. Pinned by a test so it is a decision rather than an accident.

What is deliberately not shared

The policy for an existing symlink at a target whose destination is still inside the base directory. The callers legitimately disagree — unzipping a user's project skips the entry and leaves their own gradlew symlink alone, while the installer refuses to write through any symlink at all. That check stays at each call site, one line, labelled as policy. Folding it in would have silently changed one of them.

Fixed in review

  • Fail-closed base resolution. The constructor caught toRealPath()'s IOException and nulled the field, silently downgrading every later call to lexical containment — weaker than the check being replaced. And Files.exists() is false both for absent and for cannot be determined, so a base under a non-traversable parent read as absent and skipped the symlink layer entirely. The base is now resolved per call, confirmed-absent distinguished by catching NoSuchFileException from toRealPath() itself.
  • Staleness. Pinning the base in the constructor was wrong regardless: the asset installer builds its resolver before the directory exists, so the symlink layer never ran again even once extraction created the tree.
  • Zip-slip masking. ZipUtils applied the existing-symlink policy before the containment check, so an entry aiming outside the target could be skipped as a benign "leave the user's link alone" case instead of failing the archive. Containment now runs first, and the skip is logged.

Both new tests were confirmed to fail against the unfixed code, for the reasons they are named for.

Performance

No caching, deliberately. Reusing a proven-contained ancestor answers later paths under it without looking, so anything that swaps in a symlink in between gets written through. Measured on a real 1.8 GB asset installation on device: 48.0 s with no cache, 51.4 s with one, 51.3 s for the hand-rolled cache it replaced. Extraction is I/O and inflate; this is noise. (An earlier draft of this description claimed the resolver carried the installer's cache — it never did after the second commit.)

Verification

346 tests pass across :common (79) and :app (267). The interesting one: ZipUtils' symlink test fails against the previous implementation, so this is a stronger guard rather than a lateral move. PathTraversalTest (16 cases) covers the traversal, encoding, fail-closed and symlink paths directly.

Relationship to #1651

That PR's review is what surfaced this, and it adds a third copy of the same algorithm for deep-link file resolution. Whichever of the two lands second should delete the copy in app/utils/PathTraversal.kt and use this one — noted on both PRs. resolveWithinDirectory has no production caller on this branch for that reason; it is #1651's entry point.

…copies

ZipUtils.unzipFile checked only that a canonical path started with the
destination prefix: no lexical rejection of a ".." segment, and nothing to stop
an entry writing through a symlink already present at its target.
AssetsInstallationHelper.extractZipToDir had the elaborate version -- lexical
reject, Path.startsWith, a refusal to follow an existing symlink, and a
hand-rolled per-parent cache over toRealPath. Each carried a comment asking
whoever fixed one to remember the other.

Both now call ContainedPathResolver in common. The file is plain
java.io/java.nio with no Android dependency and app already depends on common,
so the reason the copies gave for existing was never true in the direction that
mattered.

The installer's substring reject of ".." goes with it: an archive entry
legitimately named notes..txt used to abort an entire asset installation. Only a
literal ".." segment can name a parent directory, so the per-segment rule loses
nothing.

What is deliberately not shared is the policy for an existing symlink at a
target whose destination is still inside the base. Unzipping a user's project
skips the entry and leaves their own gradlew symlink alone; the installer
refuses to write through any symlink. That check stays at each call site, one
line, labelled as policy.

The resolver carries the ancestor caching the installer did by hand, so a
bootstrap archive clustering thousands of entries under a few directories still
resolves each ancestor once.

Verified: 342 tests pass across both modules, and ZipUtils' symlink test fails
against the previous implementation -- this is a stronger guard, not a move.

📝 Walkthrough
  • Centralize ZIP path-containment checks in ContainedPathResolver.
  • Reject traversal syntax, absolute paths, invalid names, base-directory targets, path escapes, and unsafe symlink targets.
  • Allow valid names that contain .., such as notes..txt.
  • Resolve the base for each path. Fail closed when resolution is unavailable.
  • Prevent final-path symlink writes with NOFOLLOW_LINKS.
  • Preserve caller-specific symlink policies.
  • Return extracted and skipped entries through UnzipResult.
  • Verify required Gradle wrapper files after extraction.
  • Add regression tests for traversal, encoding, invalid names, symlinks, dangling links, race-prone writes, and filesystem edge cases.
  • Report 346 passing tests across :common and :app.
  • Measure a 0.29% installation-time difference against stage during hardware testing.
  • Risk: ZIP entries with unsafe paths can fail extraction.
  • Risk: Existing symlinks can cause entries to be skipped.
  • Risk: Parent-directory symlink races remain outside the implementation scope.
  • Risk: Symlink tests depend on filesystem support and permissions.
  • Risk: Connected tests can encounter unrelated AGP/Bouncy Castle installation failures.
  • Risk: ZipUtils.unzipFile has a changed return type.
  • Risk: ZipRecipeExecutor and PluginLoader still use separate containment implementations. ADFA-5266 tracks their migration.

Walkthrough

ZIP extraction now uses ContainedPathResolver for explicit containment results and no-follow writes. The resolver distinguishes rejected and unverifiable paths. ZipUtils reports extracted and skipped entries. Callers verify extraction results.

Asset extraction handles distinct resolution failures and root entries. Gradle wrapper installation checks required files after extraction. UnzipCallable returns extracted files. Tests assert failure messages and symlink behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 67e6d

The PR strengthens archive extraction containment, but an unresolved race can allow an ancestor symlink replacement between validation and writing, potentially redirecting files outside the destination. The localized absolute-path edge case is currently guarded but should also be corrected, so merge requires explicit owner acceptance or follow-up on these risks.

Exercised on hardware: a real first-run asset installation

Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, arm64. pm clear on the app, then launch, so the bundled archives were extracted from scratch through the shared ContainedPathResolver — eight archives, ending in bootstrap.zip, producing 1.8 GB and 650 binaries under files/usr. Then the same again with a stage build for a baseline.

total bootstrap.zip
stage (hand-rolled per-parent cache) 51,269 ms 51,186 ms
this branch (resolver's own cache) 51,419 ms 51,381 ms
delta +150 ms (+0.29%) +195 ms (+0.38%)

That was the open question: the installer's hand-rolled toRealPath cache moved inside the resolver, and a per-entry regression would have shown up over thousands of entries. It didn't — 0.3% is inside run-to-run noise on a phone that is also charging and indexing.

Zero containment rejections across both runs, so nothing in the real archives trips the stricter guard the branch gives ZipUtils — which was the other risk worth checking, since stage's version had no lexical .. rejection at all and a false positive here would break installation outright.

Also verified on the same device: :common's instrumented suite, 13 tests, OK.

One environment note for anyone reproducing this: ./gradlew :common:connectedV8DebugAndroidTest fails here with NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/asn1/edec/EdECObjectIdentifiers out of AGP's install path, unrelated to any change in this PR. Installing the built androidTest APK with adb install and driving it with am instrument works.

…entry name

The cached fast path answered a later path under an already-verified directory
without looking at it again, so anything that replaced that directory with a
symlink in between would be followed. Measuring settled whether the guarantee was
affordable: a real 1.8 GB asset installation on device takes 48.0 s with every
resolve revalidating, against 51.4 s with the cache and 51.3 s with the
hand-rolled cache it replaced. Extraction is I/O and inflate; the check is noise.
The cache is gone and the numbers are in the comment.

File(destDir, entry.name).toPath() threw InvalidPathException for a name the
platform cannot represent -- an unchecked exception escaping unzipFile's declared
IOException contract before the resolver ever saw the entry. It now arrives as
the IOException the function promises, with a test.

PathTraversalTest swallowed every FileSystemException into a skipped test, which
could have quietly removed the symlink-escape assertion from CI. It now skips
only the known Windows privilege restriction and rethrows anything else, matching
ZipUtilsTest.

Review of #1736 found the containment check could quietly fall back to
lexical-only matching -- weaker than the canonical-prefix check it
replaced, and silent about it. Two ways in, both fixed by resolving the
base per call instead of pinning it in the constructor:

- The constructor caught the IOException from toRealPath() and nulled
  the field, disabling layer 3 for the resolver's whole life. An
  unresolvable base is now refused outright, with a warning.
- Files.exists() is false both for "absent" and for "cannot be
  determined", so a base under a non-traversable parent read as absent
  and skipped layer 3. Confirmed-absent is now distinguished by
  catching NoSuchFileException from toRealPath() itself, which also
  drops a redundant stat.

Pinning the base at construction was stale besides: the asset installer
builds its resolver before the directory exists, so layer 3 never ran
again even after extraction created the tree. A symlink planted into
the base after construction now gets caught.

Also in ZipUtils, containment is checked before the existing-symlink
policy. In the old order an entry aiming outside the target could hit
a symlink first and be skipped as a benign "leave the user's link
alone" case, masking the zip-slip rejection; the skip is now logged.

Both new tests were confirmed to fail against the unfixed code, for
the reasons they are named for.

Docs corrected where they overclaimed: the resolver is not yet the only
containment check in the tree (ZipRecipeExecutor and PluginLoader remain
-- ADFA-5266), it does not memoize, and unzipFile does not extract
literally every entry. The deliberate narrowing over the old
canonical-prefix check (a/../b.txt now fails) is documented and pinned
by a test.

Pushed 8e6e332 addressing a deeper review pass. Two real holes, both in the direction that matters for a containment check — it could fall back to lexical-only matching without saying so:

  1. The base was resolved once in the constructor, catching toRealPath()'s IOException and nulling the field. That disabled the symlink layer for the resolver's entire life, leaving it weaker than the canonical-prefix check it replaced. Compounding it, Files.exists() is false both for "absent" and for "cannot be determined", so a base under a non-traversable parent read as absent and skipped that layer too. The base is now resolved per call, with confirmed-absent distinguished by catching NoSuchFileException from toRealPath() itself.

  2. Pinning the base in the constructor was stale besides — the asset installer builds its resolver before the directory exists, so the symlink layer never ran again even after extraction created the tree. A symlink planted into the base after construction is now caught.

Also reordered ZipUtils so containment is checked before the existing-symlink policy: in the old order an entry aiming outside the target could hit a symlink first and be skipped as a benign "leave the user's link alone" case, masking the zip-slip rejection.

Both new tests were confirmed to fail against the unfixed code for the reasons they are named for. 346 tests pass across :common and :app.

Docs corrected where they overclaimed: the PR body's "### Performance" section previously said the resolver carried the installer's ancestor cache — untrue since the second commit, when measurement showed the cache bought nothing (48.0 s without, 51.4 s with). Filed ADFA-5266 for the two containment copies this PR does not migrate (ZipRecipeExecutor, PluginLoader), which the KDoc now names rather than claiming to be the only implementation.

Review fixes on the shared containment PR (#1736):

- unzipFile now returns an UnzipResult (extracted + skipped) so callers
  can tell when an entry was left unextracted over an existing symlink.
  doInstallWrapper verifies the wrapper files actually exist under the
  project dir instead of trusting a non-empty extraction list.
- A dangling symlink inside destDir no longer aborts the archive as an
  escape: a lexically-contained symlink at the entry's path takes the
  same skip branch as a live one -- nothing is written at or through it.
- Drop the unreachable catch(InvalidPathException): the resolver catches
  it internally and returns null, so an unusable entry name now surfaces
  through the one IOException, and the NUL-name test asserts a message
  substring unique to the branch that fires.
- ContainedPathResolver rejects "." and "./" (they normalize to the base
  itself, which is not a path inside it), and warns instead of silently
  swallowing an unexpected IOException from ancestor.toRealPath();
  a NoSuchFileException there is the dangling-link rejection working and
  stays quiet.
- Reword the ZipUtils ordering comment as a present-tense invariant (the
  claimed history was false against stage) and the per-call base
  resolution comments to their true grounds (a caller may construct
  before the base exists; an existing base can gain a symlink later).
- Extract the guarded symlink-creation test helper into
  SymlinkTestSupport.kt and use it in all three call sites, including
  the previously unguarded one; add regression tests for the dangling
  in-base symlink skip and for "." / "./".

Review of #1736 found a gap between the resolver and unzipFile's
symlink-skip fallback: the resolver rejects a ".." segment lexically,
but the fallback normalized the entry name before its symlink check, so
an entry named a/../link.txt -- with an existing symlink at
destDir/link.txt -- was silently skipped as "the user's own link"
instead of failing the archive. The narrowing this PR documents ("a
../ entry fails the archive") thus had one path around it whenever a
symlink happened to sit at the normalized target.

The lexical reject is now extracted from resolve() into
ContainedPathResolver.isLexicallyRejected and applied by
isContainedSymlink before it looks at the filesystem: an entry that
fails on syntax is a bad archive however the disk looks, never
fallback material. One shared predicate rather than a duplicate, so
the two cannot drift.

The new test was confirmed to fail against the unfixed code: the entry
was skipped, no IOException.

The fallback stat'ed the entry's normalized path, which follows an
ancestor symlink: with dest/a -> /outside and entry "a/link.txt", it
stat'ed /outside/link.txt, saw a symlink there, and skipped the entry --
silently tolerating an escaping archive instead of failing it. Now every
ancestor between destDir and the candidate must itself be a non-link, so
only a symlink whose whole path is real directories inside destDir
qualifies for the skip; anything else fails the archive with the
containment IOException. The dangling-symlink and existing-symlink skip
behaviors are unchanged.

Adds a regression test where destDir/a links to an outside directory
whose link.txt is itself a symlink; the entry must throw, not skip.
…efore it

The symlink policy is a stat, and the write is a separate open, so a
link appearing between them is followed: FileOutputStream resolves
links, and Kotlin's File.outputStream() is a thin inline wrapper over
it. Both write boundaries now pass LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS to
Files.newOutputStream, which puts O_NOFOLLOW in the open(2) call, so
there is no window between deciding and doing.

This closes the final component only. A symlink substituted for one of
the parent directories is still followed -- by mkdirs() and by the open
-- because resolving a path relative to an already-open directory needs
openat(2), which java.nio does not expose. Narrowing that further means
JNI or a different extraction strategy, so it is recorded in both files
rather than implied away.

Worth stating the exposure while it is fresh: for the asset installer
destDir is app-private storage, which another app cannot write to, so
the race needs code execution in this process or root. For project
archives extracted into user-visible storage the window is real.

ZipUtilsTest covers the enforcement directly -- writeNoFollow is
internal for that reason, since the policy check above it means a race
is otherwise the only way to reach the open, and a race is not
something a test can stage reliably. Without NOFOLLOW_LINKS the same
test writes "payload" through the link and fails.

84 common tests and 294 app tests pass.

Found in review of PR #1736.
The comment on the symlinked-grandparent test still explained the depth
choice in terms of a toRealPath() check running after
createDirectories(). This branch moved containment ahead of every mkdir,
so that check is gone and neither depth reaches a mkdir at all.

Two levels is still the right shape for the test, for a different
reason: "linked/sub/nested.txt" has no ".." and does start with destDir,
so it is exactly the case a lexical check alone lets through.

Reviewed at xhigh, against fc94c9bb8 — I first reviewed a stale local checkout and found three things the tip had already fixed (the dead InvalidPathException catch, the escape-vs-unusable message, the follow-on-write window). Those are all closed; writeNoFollow with O_NOFOLLOW and the isContainedSymlink fallback are the right shape, and the KDoc is honest that it closes the final component only, not a substituted parent directory.

One thing left, pushed as fcf566662: the comment on extractZipToDir rejects a file entry whose pre-existing symlinked grandparent escapes destDir still explained its two-levels-deep entry in terms of a toRealPath() check running after createDirectories(). This branch moved containment ahead of every mkdir, so that check no longer exists and neither depth reaches a mkdir. Two levels is still correct, for a different reason — linked/sub/nested.txt has no .. and does start with destDir, so it is precisely the case a lexical check alone lets through, and only resolving linked to its real path catches it. Rewrote the comment to say that.

Verified: :common:testV8DebugUnitTest (ZipUtilsTest 5/5, PathTraversalTest 16/16) and :app:testV8DebugUnitTest (AssetsInstallationHelperTest 4/4, ExtractZipToDirMergeTest 7/7), plus spotlessCheck.

@itsaky-adfa — all eight findings are closed. The "changes requested" verdict is pinned to 8e6e332; head is now fcf5666. Map so you don't have to re-derive it:

# Finding Closed by Where to look
1 unzipFile silently partial; caller reports success f364ccca6 unzipFile returns UnzipResult(extracted, skipped); GradleBuildService.kt:553-559 logs the skips and gates success on the wrapper files existing, not on isNotEmpty()
2 Dangling in-base symlink fails the whole archive f364ccca6, refined in d40c55075 + e544ebc6e isContainedSymlink fallback: a link lexically inside destDir with no traversal syntax is skipped, not thrown on
3 Unreachable catch; NUL reported as zip-slip; test passes vacuously f364ccca6 catch dropped; one message — "does not resolve to a safe path inside the target directory" — and ZipUtilsTest now asserts that wording instead of contains("bad")
4 "." and "./" resolve to baseDir f364ccca6 PathTraversal.kt:90, if (resolved == base) return null — your one-line suggestion, taken as written
5 Filesystem failure reported as a traversal attempt f364ccca6 Ancestor branch now splits NoSuchFileException (the link check working, silent) from other IOException (log.warn with ancestor, entry name and cause)
6 Comment describes an ordering bug never on stage f364ccca6 False history removed; states the invariant only
7 Per-call rationale cites a caller where destDir always exists f364ccca6 Rationale restated on the grounds that hold
8 Unguarded createSymbolicLink fails where others skip f364ccca6 Extracted to SymlinkTestSupport.kt, so all three sites share one assumeTrue guard

Two of these you found independently of my own review pass, and #3 in particular I had misdiagnosed first time round — worth saying, since the vacuous-test point was the part I'd missed.

Since 8e6e332 there are also two commits you have not seen: fc94c9bb8 moves the symlink refusal into the open(2) call itself (O_NOFOLLOW), closing the stat-then-write window on the final path component — the KDoc is explicit that a substituted parent directory is still followed, since that needs openat(2). And fcf566662 fixes a test comment describing a guard this branch deleted.

Ready for another look when you have time.

Code review at high effort. The core containment algorithm holds up and is strictly stronger than both copies it replaces for every escape shape I could construct: final-component links, directory-symlink ancestors at any depth, dangling links, and symlinks planted after the check.

Verified along the way:

  • The platform assumptions the new code rests on, with standalone JDK probes: Files.newOutputStream(..., NOFOLLOW_LINKS) throws on a symlink and leaves the target untouched; Path.resolve("") returns the base; a NUL in a name throws InvalidPathException; ZipFile does surface a NUL-containing entry name (so the new not a usable path test reaches the code it targets); toRealPath() on a dangling link throws NoSuchFileException; exists(dangling, NOFOLLOW_LINKS) is true.
  • All production callers of unzipFile (only GradleBuildService; UnzipCallable is unused), and the wrapper-zip entry names against GradleWrapperGeneratorTask -- they match the new missing list exactly.
  • All nine shipped asset zips for .., ./, and absolute entries. None.
  • Each new test hand-traced against the new implementation; all reach the branch they claim to.

The findings below are about contract and diagnostics edges, not the algorithm.

…inks

Re-review follow-ups:

- ContainedPathResolver.resolve() returns a sealed Resolution --
  Contained / Rejected / Unverifiable -- so "escapes" and "could not be
  determined" no longer share one null. Both extraction call sites now
  throw distinct messages: escape, symlink refusal, and cannot-verify
  (naming the cause).
- unzipFile's symlink-skip fallback skips only a pre-existing link that
  stays inside destDir; a link leading outside -- live, or dangling by
  its lexical target -- fails the archive again, restoring the old
  canonicalPath behavior. The KDoc states one policy instead of two.
- The installer's "refusing to extract over an existing symlink" branch
  is reachable again: a symlink at the entry's own target (in-base,
  dangling, or outside) reports as that refusal, not as zip-slip.
- A "." or "./" root directory entry is tolerated as a no-op at both
  extraction call sites; the resolver itself stays strict.
- Layer 2 has one implementation, lexicalResolve() inside the resolver,
  and the rejected path travels to callers via Rejected.lexicalTarget,
  leaving only the ancestor/leaf link walk local to ZipUtils.

Tests: outside-pointing symlink entries (live and dangling) fail the
archive, in-base skips still pass, root entries no-op, all three
messages pinned in both callers, and a symlink loop pins Unverifiable
deterministically even where the permission-based test is skipped.

The Build Universal APK check failed on spotlessKotlinCheck: the ktlint
ruleset Spotless runs braces all entries of a when whose other entries
are braced, and separates multi-line entries with a blank line. Apply
exactly the formatting its diff demanded to the two resolution whens.
No behavior change.
"/" and "\" split into all-empty segments just like "./", so namesBase
answered true for them and an absolute directory entry would have been
waved through as the archive's root entry (CodeRabbit review). Apply
the existing lexical reject first -- it already refuses absolute paths
and the empty string -- and pin the boundary with a test.

Cross-reference, no change requested here: #1651 carries its own app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/PathTraversal.kt — same package, same top-level resolveWithinDirectory, so the same PathTraversalKt class this PR puts in common.

app depends on common, so app's copy shadows this one. The paths differ, so git merges both in without a conflict, and :app:compileV8DebugKotlin succeeds with no duplicate-class error. Verified by behaviour: with both present, resolveWithinDirectory(dir, ".") returns the base directory rather than null, so the copy that wins is the one without the resolved == base guard f364ccca6 added, without the Files.exists(base) split, and without the ancestor log.warn.

Nothing to do on this branch — the fix is deleting the copy in #1651, which I have written up there. Flagging it here only so this PR is not merged in the belief that it leaves one implementation in the tree: on its own it does, but not alongside #1651, and this branch's KDoc explicitly anticipates #1651 as the caller.

Worth noting the ordering that falls out: #1651's deletion only compiles once this branch is on stage, so this one goes first.

Refreshing my map above — it was written against fcf56666 and the branch is now at 5d90a0d0. Three ADFA-5257 commits landed since, and one of them changes the answer to your finding #3, so please read this table rather than the earlier one.

What changed

67e6d3060 replaces resolve()'s nullable File? with a sealed tri-state:

sealed interface Resolution {
    data class Contained(val file: File, …)
    data class Rejected(…, val lexicalTarget: …)
    data class Unverifiable(val cause: …)
}

That is the option you actually asked for on finding #3 — "have ContainedPathResolver distinguish 'unusable path' from 'escapes' … or return a sealed result" — rather than the single merged message my earlier map described. fbf67695c is Spotless bracing; 61d830007 denies an absolute path the root-entry tolerance in namesBase.

Corrected rows

# Finding Now closed by What to look at
3 Unreachable catch; NUL reported as zip-slip; test passes vacuously f364ccca6 then 67e6d3060 Not one message any more. ZipUtils switches on the tri-state: Rejected → "does not resolve to a safe path inside the target directory", Unverifiable → "Cannot verify that a zip entry resolves inside the target directory: … (cause)" with the cause chained
5 Filesystem failure reported as a traversal attempt f364ccca6 then 67e6d3060 Now structural rather than a log line: Unverifiable is a distinct case both call sites handle separately. AssetsInstallationHelper raises three distinct IllegalStateExceptions — escape, symlink policy, unverifiable

Rows 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are unchanged and still closed by f364ccca6. Row 4 in particular survives the redesign: a path that normalizes to baseDir itself is rejected is still in the suite and still passes.

Verified on 5d90a0d0, not inferred: :common:testV8DebugUnitTest gives PathTraversalTest 21/21 and ZipUtilsTest 13/13, up from 16 and 5 when I first mapped this. New cases include a symlink loop is unverifiable, not an escape, a rejection at an existing symlink carries the lexical target, a lexical rejection carries no target, and namesBase accepts only relative spellings of the base itself.

One thing worth confirming for #1651's sake: resolveWithinDirectory still returns File?, collapsing the tri-state to contained-or-null, so the deep-link caller needs no change when it drops its duplicate copy.

Note the PR is BEHIND stage as well as blocked on this review, so it needs a stage merge before it can go in.

Validate the nearest existing ancestor before accepting an absent base.

At PathTraversal.kt:164, NoSuchFileException from base.toRealPath() returns Resolution.Contained without checking existing ancestors. If base = /tmp/root/link/missing and link -> /tmp/outside, later mkdirs() and Files.newOutputStream(..., NOFOLLOW_LINKS) follow link, so a consumer can write under /tmp/outside.

Resolve the nearest existing ancestor before returning Contained, or fail closed for an unresolved base. Add a regression test for this case.

resolve() accepted a confirmed-absent base outright, on the reasoning
that nothing on disk could be symlinked through. Its *existing*
ancestors are on disk, though: with base root/link/missing where
root/link points outside root, resolve() returned Contained and a later
mkdirs/newOutputStream followed the link, planting the whole
"contained" tree outside the base (CodeRabbit, PR #1736).

When the base is absent, walk to the nearest existing ancestor of the
resolved path (the same NOFOLLOW walk layer 3 already uses). Everything
between that ancestor and the target is absent, so the only place a
link can hide is the ancestor itself: a symlink there -- a dangling-
symlink base included -- is Rejected, and an ancestor that will not
toRealPath() is Unverifiable. A plain missing tree beneath real
ancestors still resolves to Contained, so first-run installer
directories keep working.

Regression tests: symlinked ancestor of an absent base, dangling-
symlink base, absent base under real ancestors, and a symlink loop
above an absent base. The first two fail against the previous code.

CodeRabbit's Major finding "Validate the nearest existing ancestor before accepting an absent base" is verified real: with base root/link/missing where root/link points outside root, resolve() returned Contained and a scratch reproduction wrote through the link to outside/missing/a.txt. Fixed in 91b1803: when the base is confirmed absent, resolve() now walks to the nearest existing ancestor and requires it to be a resolvable non-symlink (symlink there, dangling-symlink base included, is Rejected; a toRealPath() failure is Unverifiable), while a plain missing tree under real ancestors still resolves Contained — regression tests added for all four cases, the two symlink ones failing against the previous code.
