🎯 What: The previous implementation used SystemTime and process IDs to generate temporary file paths, leaving it vulnerable to Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) and collision attacks.

⚠️ Risk: Predictable temporary file paths could allow a malicious local user to pre-create files or symlinks at these locations, potentially hijacking test outputs or causing the tests to overwrite arbitrary files when running on shared systems (e.g., CI/CD runners or multi-user development machines).

🛡️ Solution: Integrated the tempfile crate to generate temporary files and directories securely using OS-level guarantees. Changed test implementations to use tempfile::TempDir, ensuring unique and secure paths that are also automatically cleaned up when the guard drops.
