Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.7 eab1b7a15a fix(security): close go/path-injection alerts via os.Root containment
The previous filepath.IsLocal-up-front pattern in safeJoin/safeJoin-equivalents
turned out not to satisfy CodeQL's go/path-injection rule — the post-validation
filepath.Join still constructs the joined string from tainted input, so the
analyser conservatively assumes the os.* sink that consumes it is tainted
too. Only one of 34 alerts closed on the previous attempt.

Switch to *os.Root (Go 1.24+, available on the project's 1.26.3 toolchain).
The Go runtime guarantees that operations on a Root cannot escape the
anchored directory regardless of what's in the relative path, and CodeQL has
a built-in model that recognises *os.Root.* methods as path-traversal
sanitisers. Result: every os.* sink in the datastore, marge, recorder,
mirror parity-mismatch writer, and docs handler is now reached only via a
*os.Root, which closes the rule-level alerts cleanly.

Changes per file:

* pkg/service/datastore/datastore.go — Adds a `root *os.Root` to DataStore,
  lazily opened at first use (after MkdirAll-ing baseDir) and closed by a
  new `(*DataStore).Close()`. Adds package-private helpers
  (rootStat / rootReadFile / rootWriteFile / rootMkdirAll / rootRemove /
  rootRemoveAll / rootRename / rootReadDir / rootOpen / rootExists) plus
  three exported wrappers (ReadDirUnderBase, MkdirAllUnderBase,
  WriteFileUnderBase) for the cross-package marge / handlers callers.
  Every os.* call that previously consumed safeJoin output now goes through
  these helpers. The post-join belt-and-suspenders prefix check inside
  safeJoin is preserved as a defence-in-depth fallback.

* pkg/service/marge/marge.go — Replaces the five `os.ReadDir(devicesDir)`
  call sites with `ds.ReadDirUnderBase(...)` so the datastore's root
  enforces containment.

* pkg/service/proxy/recorder.go — Mirrors the datastore pattern with its
  own `root *os.Root` anchored at Recorder.BaseDir, lazily opened. New
  helpers convert the eight existing `os.*` sites that consume sessionID
  / relPath / sanitizedSegments inputs. The earlier safeJoin (filepath.IsLocal
  pre-check) stays in place as the same belt-and-suspenders guard.

* pkg/service/handlers/handlers_docs.go — Opens a *os.Root at "docs" via
  sync.Once and reads file content (and SUMMARY.md sidebar) through it.
  Removes the prior filepath.IsLocal pre-check; the runtime now guarantees
  containment.

* pkg/service/handlers/mirror_middleware.go — Routes the parity-mismatch
  JSON write through `s.ds.WriteFileUnderBase` so the datastore's root
  performs the path-traversal sanitiser.

Behavioural fix: *os.File.ReadDir(-1) returns directory entries in
filesystem order, but os.ReadDir is documented to sort by name and at least
one regression test
(handlers.TestMargeAccountFullExcludesEmptyAmazonSource) depends on the
sorted contract. Both rootReadDir helpers explicitly sort by name to match.

All test suites pass for the touched packages; the unrelated
TestDocsConsistency failure about untracked working-tree docs is
pre-existing. golangci-lint reports 0 issues.
