Recurring patterns

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

Path Traversal: Multiple path traversal fixes across different components indicate a systemic issue with file access validation. The headless protocol allowed file:// scheme reads without proper opt-in, which is a common variant lead for other protocols.
Path Traversal: Payload file loading lacked sandbox restrictions, allowing arbitrary file reads. This is a separate entry point from headless file access but shares the same underlying capability of reading local files.
Path Traversal: Template extraction from zip archives lacked path canonicalization, enabling directory traversal. This is a distinct loading path that must enforce the same path safety as other file operations.
