The address bar and search band refuse typing, and right-click, Alt-modified clicks and drag-and-drop inside the dialog are blocked outright.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Multi-key chords must be sent one key at a time inside a file dialog; tab and newline characters in typed text are refused.\n- Refusals carry the reason code file_dialog_restricted, new in this build.\n- The checks only run when the platform is win32 and the host reports both the focused control and the control under the pointer; otherwise the dialog is treated as an ordinary window.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`file_dialog_restricted`\n\n- Area: Computer Use\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
