Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Path Traversal: Source file names with parent directory components are joined into OUT_DIR without canonicalization, allowing object files to be written outside the intended directory.

Denial of Service: Calling set_len with capacity can expose uninitialized memory, leading to panics or crashes when that memory is read.
