What
upload_asset now refuses a file path when it:
- Is a Windows network share (UNC path)
- Is under a
/netautomount - Is a device-style path
- Reaches one of these through a symlink, which is a file that points to another location
- Has a part that could not be examined
A separate ELOOP error covers chains of symlinks too long to check. The refusal message says upload_asset reads only local files.
Why
Only files actually on your machine can be uploaded, so a path cannot quietly send something from a network location.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The finding does not say how `upload_asset` is reached or whether the 256 depth constant is the symlink limit.
