What
The file-read helper and the Chrome extension's file upload now test both the raw and the normalized path for Windows NT object-namespace form and throw before any filesystem call, each with its own diagnostic string. The check is unconditional.
Evidence
read_file: NT-namespace path rejected before filesystem access
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
