Current repair

topDir.length <= 4096 is not a portable filesystem or OOM/DoS security contract. Java pathname conversion is system-dependent, and Windows/POSIX path-limit semantics are not equivalent to Kotlin String.length. A 4,097-character string already present in process memory is not by itself realistic HIGH/MEDIUM resource-exhaustion evidence.

The canonical RED→GREEN lineage remains:

  • RED a30b1c60d8036546a43140a6c63dd41d56b7c851: a pathname must not be rejected solely because its string length is 4,097; filesystem validity remains authoritative.
  • GREEN 044f68d25b9aa0d7bcde3da16c4d81b4c701337c: remove the arbitrary topDir.length <= 4096 gate.
  • 596b8c675e6c1c88e65922f5ffeb745b2003e181: record the real crawl-resource gap in docs/product-technical-gap-baseline.md.
  • cfaf669eccb619a2cfd2437431d95ffd207607fb, e80d070e483aa724fea0c0bc86771da64bd6c9ec, 00dd17e00aa6e24a0704b3e731abf903ae41c01f: remove stale Sentinel/source/test artifacts so the effective delta is the portability regression plus product-gap traceability.

Intervening descendant repair

Fresh verification found that the live head had drifted away from the PR description. Exact b18b1de3bf881ef51c863050ff5abf3b6df1625a was three commits ahead of verified 00dd17e... and had reintroduced all of the rejected semantics:

  • deleted PathValidationPortabilityTest.kt;
  • deleted docs/product-technical-gap-baseline.md;
  • re-added require(topDir.length <= 4096) and the obsolete long-path rejection test;
  • re-added the stale Sentinel rule;
  • removed four lines of protected CI trigger/concurrency policy.

There was no unique valid delta in that intervening set. A normal descendant 38f5acdd692f5c0975e845051239086157d0012f now has b18b1de... as its parent while pointing to the verified semantic tree from 00dd17e.... The branch ref advanced with force=false.

Fresh compare 00dd17e...38f5acdd is ahead_by=4, behind_by=0, files=[]: intervening history is preserved, but the exact source/test/docs/CI tree is restored without force-push or destructive rebase.

Current exact head: 38f5acdd692f5c0975e845051239086157d0012f.

Resource-exhaustion boundary

If a real buyer-facing crawl exhaustion issue exists, measure directory count/fan-out, generated bytes, filesystem calls, elapsed time and peak RSS on real/right-cleared trees. Do not substitute a platform-independent 4,096-character pathname cap for that measurement, and do not introduce an arbitrary default crawl bound without a product contract.

Primary references:

Promotion boundary

Remain Draft. Every hosted CI/security/review result for a predecessor head is historical after the repair commit. Merge requires terminal exact-head CI including repository coverage, security/SAST/OSV/Scorecard, zero valid unresolved findings, and live review/ruleset satisfaction. No no-op retrigger, self-approval, force update, gate weakening, or predecessor-GREEN transfer.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b18b1

Long paths are still rejected solely by string length rather than filesystem validity, so the intended portable pathname behavior is not yet implemented and should be corrected before merge.

🟡 Valid long directories rejected

On filesystems supporting longer paths, go rejects every topDir above 4,096 UTF-16 units before checking its validity. Valid directories cannot be indexed.

require(topDir.length <= 4096) { "Directory path exceeds maximum allowed length" }

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

4,096자 길이 제한을 제거해야 합니다.

topDir.length <= 4096은 4,097자 이상의 경로를 파일 시스템 검증 전에 항상 거부합니다. 이는 긴 경로를 기존 파일 시스템 유효성 계약으로 평가한다는 PR 목표와 반대입니다. 또한 String.length는 UTF-16 코드 단위 수를 세므로 플랫폼별 pathname 제한을 나타내지 않습니다.

수정 예시
-    require(topDir.length <= 4096) { "Directory path exceeds maximum allowed length" }
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
