What
A workflow script path is now refused unless it is a path the tool itself returned or a file you can already read, meaning one under the working directory or an added directory. The refusal states the rule explicitly instead of the path being used silently.
Details
Applies unconditionally, with no flag to relax it.
Evidence
scriptPath must be a script path this tool returned, or a file you can already read
