Every caller (validate-source, POST /settings, config.json at load) now
refuses a source through one check, sources.source_problem: the form
check first, then GalleryConfig.gallery_root_problem, which compares the
normalised spelling with the allowed folders before anything resolves,
stats or opens the path. A UNC share, the \\?\ and \\.\ namespaces, a
device or any outside folder is refused with no SMB request, no
executor stall and no existence or timing oracle; only then is the path
resolved and contained again, which still catches a symlink out. The
filesystem root and the home directory answer outside-allowed with the
same reason as any outside path, so no caller learns the home path.
Also:
- POST /settings runs the form checks and parses the roots off the loop;
an unusable source is a coded 400 invalid-source naming its public
path (as text) and its index.
- ComfyUI folders outside the base directory are path anchors, so their
sources round-trip and never collide by folder name.
- A per-source scan sends each index with its public path; a stale or
shifted index is 409 sources-changed and starts nothing.
- A source still watched after monitoring was switched off is
"stopping".
- Roots are compared as folders, not spellings, so an unchanged legacy
resend takes no source-change hold.
- Tests: no realpath/stat/lstat of an outside path (native and Windows
forms with ntpath fakes), the alike answers with /, ~ and a link to ~,
an event instead of a timer wait, and a teardown that drains jobs
before the temporary database goes.
