Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Path Traversal: The snippet loader resolves paths via os.path.join(base, path) without robust canonicalization in the earlier fix; a crafted path with separators could escape the base directory and read arbitrary files.
Path Traversal: Even after the first fix, the prefix check could be bypassed via non-canonical paths (e.g., symlinks, '..'), so a default restriction was added to canonicalize and verify containment.
