/**
* Comprehensive Security Tests for ElementInstaller Download-Then-Validate Vulnerability Fix
*
* These tests verify that the critical security vulnerability where malicious content
* could persist on disk when validation failed has been completely fixed.
*
* TEST APPROACH:
* 1. Validate that malicious content NEVER persists on disk when validation fails
* 2. Test cleanup on validation failures across all error scenarios
* 3. Test atomic operations to prevent partial writes
* 4. Test directory traversal prevention before any disk operations
* 5. Test various attack vectors (command injection, path traversal, YAML injection, etc.)
* 6. Test edge cases like network failures, disk full, permission errors
* 7. Verify valid content still installs correctly (regression prevention)
