What

The function that checks whether a file path is unsafe on the current platform now returns a specific reason code instead of a plain true/false. Possible reasons include nt_device_namespace, colon_past_drive_position, tilde_digit, device_path_prefix, trailing_dot_or_whitespace, dos_device_suffix, dot_run_segment, and unc_or_webdav_form.

Why

Knowing the specific reason a Windows path was flagged as unsafe, rather than just that it was, allows more precise handling or messaging around path validation, particularly for Windows-specific quirks like device namespaces and reserved path forms.
