"""
Filesystem Boundary Enforcement and Path Validation
This module provides secure filesystem access control for the Agent Orchestration Platform,
implementing directory jailing, path traversal protection, and resource monitoring.
Architecture Integration:
- Design Patterns: Strategy pattern for different boundary policies, Decorator for validation
- Security Model: Defense-in-depth with path validation, symlink protection, and access control
- Performance Profile: O(1) path validation with cached boundary checks
Technical Decisions:
- Path Canonicalization: Real path resolution to prevent symlink attacks
- Whitelist Approach: Explicit allowed directories with recursive validation
- Resource Monitoring: File descriptor and disk space tracking per session
- Atomic Operations: Path validation and access as single atomic check
Dependencies & Integration:
- External: None beyond standard library for maximum reliability and performance
- Internal: audit.py for security event logging, types for domain modeling
Quality Assurance:
- Test Coverage: Property-based testing for path traversal attempts and edge cases
- Error Handling: Secure failure modes with comprehensive audit logging
