What

When approving a file for an artifact fails, you now get a named reason and what to do about it instead of generic denial text.

Details
  • Reasons distinguish the file changing since approval, reaching the file through a symbolic link, a hard link, a read that would need permission, no identity, the path not being a regular file, and size.
  • Each carries remediation, such as passing the resolved path or copying the file under the working directory.
  • The symlink, hard-link and size checks now live in one shared helper rather than being repeated per action.
Evidence

file_path reaches its file through a symbolic link that resolves somewhere this session may not read without asking

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
