/**
 * TEMP_DIRS portability allowlist (platform.ts) and its path-security wiring.
 *
 * TEMP_DIRS widens LOCAL path validation to include os.tmpdir() — on macOS
 * that is the per-user /var/folders dir, and TMPDIR-honoring CI/sandbox
 * environments point it elsewhere entirely. The load-bearing SECURITY
 * invariant is asymmetry: SAFE_DIRECTORIES (local read/write) gains
 * os.tmpdir(), while validateTempPath (REMOTE file serving, GET /file) stays
 * pinned to classic TEMP_DIR alone — widening that one would let a tunnel
 * client fetch files from an arbitrary TMPDIR (e.g. $HOME/tmp).
