Verified successor: #594 (4798baed2c4d1e9c0824fbc347cadcacb36c9334) preserves and strengthens the valid .html4ignore race protection. It uses NOFOLLOW_LINKS, contains open/read failures narrowly as IOException, keeps mandatory exclusions, preserves the existing size/line/pattern bounds, and adds a deterministic validationโ†’open race seam plus regular-file positive coverage. This PR's unique changes are not valid improvements over #594: it broadens containment to catch (Exception), removes the pre-open symlink check without a deterministic race contract, edits protected CI trigger policy, and adds a repository-wide Sentinel rule before the stronger race evidence. All valid security/test delta is fully inherited by #594 while those weaker/unrelated deltas are intentionally rejected. Close this duplicate rather than maintaining two competing implementations.

Merge Risk: ๐ŸŸ  High ยท up to 3da61

The change blocks symlink following when opening .html4ignore, but a raced file replacement can still bypass the 1 MB limit and exhaust memory. The pre-open checks and missing failure-path tests should be corrected before merge.

read-failure branch, using a symlink or otherwise unreadable/replaced ignore
file. Assert that the function returns without throwing and does not parse
patterns from the affected file, while preserving the existing normal
.html4ignore behavior and full coverage.
- Line 309: Update the pre-check around ignore_file to use Files.readAttributes
with LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS for regular-file and size validation, avoiding
symlink traversal; preserve the existing 1 MiB limit and retain NOFOLLOW_LINKS
on the final Files.newInputStream call.
- Around line 309-313: Apply the 1MB limit to the stream-reading logic around
the ignore_file input stream, not only to the pre-open ignore_file.length()
check. Ensure oversized lines are detected and rejected or truncated while
reading without retaining an entire line beyond the limit, including if the file
is replaced after the initial check; preserve the existing matcher construction
for valid input.
