What

If a workflow's script file sits outside the set of paths the session is allowed to read, the tool now denies the call outright instead of quietly carrying on.

Details
  • The denial happens in the workflow tool's permission check, so it is reported as a permission failure rather than a missing file.
Evidence

workflow scriptPath outside the readable set

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