Greptile SummaryThis PR strengthens workspace filesystem boundary enforcement by pinning canonical workspace roots, resolving filesystem paths before access, and revalidating restored or cached workspace state. Confidence Score: 5/5Safe to merge; no blocking issues remain. No outstanding findings remain. The earlier file-path concern was correctly conceded after confirming that production entrypoints enforce the pinned canonical workspace boundary before calls reach the internal Pi adapter.

Closes #45.
DevSpace’s dedicated file tools could follow a symlink inside an allowed workspace to a target outside
allowedRoots. Workspace paths now carry a canonical filesystem boundary established when they are opened or restored, and reads, writes, edits, and working-directory resolution validate canonical targets against that pinned boundary before filesystem access.Persisted sessions are revalidated before reuse, so workspace IDs created by older vulnerable releases cannot restore a symlinked root outside the configured allowlist. Symlinked allowed roots and links that remain inside the workspace stay supported. This intentionally does not claim descriptor-level protection against filesystem TOCTOU races.
