Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds write and writeMustBeDenied commands to the integration test binary. The commands validate arguments and report write success or failure. A new integration test builds two binaries, grants write access to one binary for a shared directory, and verifies that only that binary can write the shared file.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 04613

An unrelated file-write failure could make the new access-scoping test pass without verifying enforcement. Tighten the assertion before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require a permission-denied error.

writeMustBeDenied exits successfully for any write error. An unrelated I/O failure can therefore pass the executable-scoping test without proving policy enforcement. Check isDenied(err) so this command accepts only EPERM or EACCES.

Proposed fix
-	if err := os.WriteFile(os.Args[2], []byte("modified\n"), 0o644); err == nil {
+	if err := os.WriteFile(os.Args[2], []byte("modified\n"), 0o644); !isDenied(err) {
 		os.Exit(10)
 	}
