fix(cli): report an ambiguous ... path instead of skipping it silently - #74

A directory can legitimately be named `...`. The pattern trim meant `sqlguard scan ./queries/...` scanned `./queries` and never opened `./queries/...`, so a clean exit could report success for a tree that was never examined. The pattern reading still wins. That is what every Go tool does — `go list ./queries/...` never yields the package inside a literal `queries/...`, and the go command cannot address such a directory at all — and resolving by what happens to be on disk would be worse: `scan ./q/...` would stop being recursive the day somebody created `q/...`, which is both surprising and non-deterministic from the caller's side. What was wrong is that it was silent. When the argument is ambiguous, the run now says which reading it took and how to ask for the other. The directory is reachable with a trailing separator (`./queries/.../`), which is more than the go command offers.

Follows through on 393b88e: the two stream-capture helpers still used wg.Add + defer wg.Done, so the file mixed both spellings. Also drops the empty statement left where the defer was removed — gofmt and golangci-lint both accept it, but it is dead syntax.

<title>Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn</title>
<location>https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file</location>
<excerpt>All file systems follow the same general naming conventions for an individual file: a base file name and an optional extension, separated by a period. However, each file system, such as NTFS, CDFS, exFAT, UDFS, FAT, and FAT32, can have specific and differing rules about the formation of the individual components in the path to a directory or file. Note that a directory is simply a file with a special attribute designating it as a directory, but otherwise must follow all the same naming rules as a regular file. Because the term directory simply refers to a special type of file as far as the file system is concerned, some reference material will use the general term file to encompass both concepts of directories and data files as such. Because of this, unless otherwise specified, any naming or usage rules or examples for a file should also apply to a directory. The term path refers to one or more directories, backslashes, and possibly a volume name. For more information, see the Paths section. ... - Use a period to separate the base file name from the extension in the name of a directory or file. ... - Use a backslash () to separate the components of a path. The backslash divides the file name from the path to it, and one directory name from another directory name in a path. You cannot use a backslash in the name for the actual file or directory because it is a reserved character that separates the names into components. ... - Use a period as a directory component in a path to represent the current directory, for example ".\temp.txt". For more information, see Paths. ... - Use two consecutive periods (..) as a directory component in a path to represent the parent of the current directory, for example "..\temp.txt". For more information, see Paths. ... - Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period. Although the underlying file system may support such names, the Windows shell and user interface does not. However, it is acceptable to specify a period as the first character of a name. For example, ".temp". ... The path to a specified file consists of one or more components, separated by a special character (a backslash), with each component usually being a directory name or file name, but with some notable exceptions discussed below. It is often critical to the system&`#39`;s interpretation of a path what the beginning, or prefix, of the path looks like. This prefix determines the namespace the path is using, and additionally what special characters are used in which position within the path, including the last character. ... Each component of a path will also be constrained by the maximum length specified for a particular file system. In general, these rules fall into two categories: short and long. Note that directory names are stored by the file system as a special type of file, but naming rules for files also apply to directory names. To summarize, a path is simply the string representation of the hierarchy between all of the directories that exist for a particular file or directory name. ... For Windows API functions that manipulate files, file names can often be relative to the current directory, while some APIs require a fully qualified path. A file name is relative to the current directory if it does not begin with one of the following: ... A UNC name of any format, which always start with two backslash characters ("\"). For more information, see the next section. - A disk designator with a backslash, for example "C:" or "d:". ... - A single backslash ... , "\directory" or "\file.txt". This is also referred to as an absolute path. ... A path is also said to be relative if it contains "double-dots"; that is, two periods together in one component of the path. This special specifier is used to denote the directory above the current directory, otherwise known as the "parent directory". Examples of this f…[truncated]</excerpt>

<excerpt>## Cause 5: The file name includes a reserved name in the Win32 name space ... If the file name includes a reserved name in the Win32 name space, such as lpt1, you can&`#39`;t delete the file. To resolve this issue, use a non-Win32 program to rename the file. You can use a POSIX tool or any other tool that uses the appropriate internal syntax to use the file. ... ## Cause 6: The file name includes an invalid name in the Win32 name space ... You can&`#39`;t delete a file if the file name includes an invalid name. For example, the file name has a trailing space or a trailing period, or the file name is made up of a space only. To resolve this issue, use a tool that uses the appropriate internal syntax to delete the file. You can use the `"\\?\"` syntax with some tools to operate on these files. Here&`#39`;s an example: ... ```console del "\\?\c:\<path_to_file_that contains a trailing space.txt>" ``` ... The cause of this issue is similar to Cause 4. If you use typical Win32 syntax to open a file that has trailing spaces or trailing periods in its name, the trailing spaces or periods are stripped before the actual file is opened. For example, you have two files in the same folder named `AFile.txt` and `AFile.txt `, note the space after the file name. If you try to open the second file by using standard Win32 calls, you open the first file instead. Similarly, if you have a file whose name is just a space character and you try to open it by using standard Win32 calls, you open the file&`#39`;s parent folder instead. In this situation, if you try to change security settings on these files, you either may not be able to do so, or you may unexpectedly change the settings on different files. If this behavior occurs, you may think that you have permission to a file that actually has a restrictive ACL. ... Sometimes, you may experience combinations of these causes. ... can make the procedure to delete a file more complex. For example, if you log on as ... computer&`#39`;s administrator, you may experience a combination of Cause 1 (you don&`#39`;t have permissions to delete a file) and Cause 5 ... the file name contains a ... character that causes file access to be redirected to a different or nonexistent file), and you can&`#39`;t delete the file. If you try to resolve Cause 1 by taking ownership of the file and adding permissions, you still may not be able to delete the file, because the ACL editor in the user interface can&`#39`;t access the appropriate file due to Cause 6. ... In this situation, you can use the Subinacl utility with the `/onlyfile` switch ( ... utility is included in the Resource Kit) ... change ownership and permissions on a file that&`#39`;s otherwise inaccessible. Here&`#39`;s an example: ... ```console subinacl /onlyfile "\\?\c:\<path_to_problem_file>" /setowner= domain\administrator /grant= domain\administrator=F ... This sample command line modifies the `C:\<path_to_problem_file>` file that contains a trailing space so that the domain\administrator account is the owner of the file and this account has full control over the file. You can now delete this file by using the Del command with the same `"\\?\"` syntax.</excerpt>

<title>Maximum Path Length Limitation - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn</title>
<location>https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation</location>
<excerpt># Maximum Path Length Limitation - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is "D:*some 256-character path string* " where " " represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.) For example, you may hit this limitation if you are cloning a git repo that has long file names into a folder that itself has a long name. Note File I/O functions in the Windows API convert "/" to "" as part of converting the name to an NT-style name, except when using the "\?" prefix as detailed in the following sections. The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters. This type of path is composed of components separated by backslashes, each up to the value returned in the lpMaximumComponentLength parameter of the GetVolumeInformation function (this value is commonly 255 characters). To specify an extended-length path, use the "\?" prefix. For example, "\?\D:*very long path*". Note The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the "\?" prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run time, and this expansion applies to the total length. The "\?" prefix can also be used with paths constructed according to the universal naming convention (UNC). To specify such a path using UNC, use the "\?\UNC" prefix. For example, "\?\UNC\server\share", where "server" is the name of the computer and "share" is the name of the shared folder. These prefixes are not used as part of the path itself. They indicate that the path should be passed to the system with minimal modification, which means that you cannot use forward slashes to represent path separators, or a period to represent the current directory, or double dots to represent the parent directory. Because you cannot use the "\?" prefix with a relative path, relative paths are always limited to a total of MAX_PATH characters. There is no need to perform any Unicode normalization on path and file name strings for use by the Windows file I/O API functions because the file system treats path and file names as an opaque sequence of WCHAR s. Any normalization that your application requires should be performed with this in mind, external of any calls to related Windows file I/O API functions. When using an API to create a directory, the specified path cannot be so long that you cannot append an 8.3 file name (that is, the directory name cannot exceed MAX_PATH minus 12). The shell and the file system have different requirements. It is possible to create a path with the Windows API that the shell user interface is not able to interpret properly. ## Enable long paths in Windows 10, version 1607, and later Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, MAX_PATH limitations have been removed from many common Win32 file and directory functions. However, your app must opt-in to the new behavior. To enable the new long path behavior per application, two conditions must be met. A registry value must be set, and the application manifest must include the `longPathAware` element. ### Registry setting to enable long paths Important Understand that enabling this registry setting will only affect applications that have been modified to take advantage of the new feature. Developers must declare their apps to be long path aware, as outlined in the application manifest settings below. Th…[truncated]</excerpt>

Due to the layering of Windows architecture, the definition of a "legal" file name may vary depending upon the component of the operating system you are dealing with. · NTFS and the Posix subsystem have the most permissive definition of a "legal" name. The name may be up to 32,768 Unicode characters long. The name can contain trailing periods, trailing spaces, and two files may have names that differ only in case (e.g., **README.TXT** and **readme.txt**). · The Win32 subsystem enforces additional constraints on legal file names. The name can be at most MAX\_PATH characters long (defined in windef.h as 260 characters), may not have trailing dots or spaces, and file names are case *preserving,* not case *sensitive* — if two files exists with names that differ only in case, you will only be able to manipulate one of them through Win32 APIs. · DOS and 16-bit Windows applications are still limited to "8.3" names. See *Inside Windows 2000*, pages 729ff, for more information on the different constraints on file names. These differences have practical consequences for any code that attempts to manage files that could be created by another program. If your management code uses DOS (heaven forbid!) or Win32 APIs to manipulate files, it is possible for the untrusted program to create files that your program cannot open or manipulate. For example, a user connected to Posix-based FTP server could create files with file names longer than MAX\_PATH. If the administrator uses a Win32-based program to manage the FTP upload directory, then he will not be able to open, delete, or otherwise manipulate the files with long file names. If you are writing a Win32-based program that manages arbitrary files, consider prepending " **\\?\** " to the start of file names before you call CreateFile( ), DeleteF…[truncated]</excerpt>

Mark the warning as changed behavior.
Open this paragraph with _Changed in 0.3._ and state that earlier scans gave no ambiguity warning. The marker on Line 34 describes a different change: accepting the pattern spelling. As per path instructions, “Behaviour that changed takes _Changed in 0.3._ plus a line on what it was before.”

…ixture The version marker named only the pattern-spelling change, so a reader could not tell when the ambiguity warning arrived. It now covers pattern handling as a whole. It does not say the previous behaviour was "scanned the parent without warning": that never shipped. In 0.2 `./queries/...` was rejected with an lstat error and nothing was scanned, so no path was ambiguous. The silent wrong-directory window existed only between two unreleased commits, and describing it as prior behaviour would misinform anyone reading on 0.2. A directory named `...` is legal on Unix but Win32 strips trailing dots from a path component, so the fixture cannot be built everywhere. The test now skips on the fixture rather than on runtime.GOOS, which also catches a filesystem that stores the name under a different one — both paths verified by forcing them locally.

If a filesystem supports a directory named ... but fixture creation fails because of a permission, disk, or other setup error, this code skips the entire test. The suite can then pass without checking either the ambiguity warning or the trailing-separator scan. Skip only when the filesystem cannot represent the name; fail on other setup errors.

**Fixture errors skip the test**
If a filesystem supports a directory named `...` but fixture creation fails because of a permission, disk, or other setup error, this code skips the entire test. The suite can then pass without checking either the ambiguity warning or the trailing-separator scan. Skip only when the filesystem cannot represent the name; fail on other setup errors.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.The previous guard skipped on any MkdirAll failure, so a permission, quota or disk error looked identical to a name the filesystem cannot store — and the suite would pass having checked neither the ambiguity warning nor the trailing-separator scan. requireDotsDirSupport now decides on its own probe directory, and skips only after confirming an ordinary name succeeds in the same place. If nothing can be created there, that is a broken environment and fails. Discriminating by probe rather than by errno keeps it independent of how each platform reports an invalid name, which is what made the errno route unverifiable here. All three paths forced locally: unrepresentable name skips, silent normalisation skips, unwritable directory fails.

The review proposed checking whether the literal path exists and preferring it over the pattern. I deliberately did not do that, because I checked what the Go toolchain does first:
Go treats a trailing
...as a pattern unconditionally and cannot address such a directory at all, with or without a trailing slash. Adopting a stat-first rule would make sqlguard diverge from the toolchain and make the meaning of an argument depend on disk state —scan ./q/...would silently stop being recursive the day somebody createdq/.... That is a worse and less predictable failure than the one it fixes.The review also asked to "provide a way to address it". That already exists: a trailing separator works, which is more than
go listoffers.So the real defect was the silence, and that is what this fixes:
