It now also rejects raw control characters and the DEL character (the ranges `\\x00-\\x1f` and `\\x7f`).\n\n**Why**\n\nThis tightens what counts as a well-formed path or URL, catching invisible or non-printable characters that could otherwise slip through validation and cause unexpected behavior.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
