CoalWash v1.12.7 - a real folder named with two leading dots is read as inside its root

[github-actions[bot]]

A real folder named with two leading dots is read as inside its root

A real child folder whose name begins with two dots (..x, ..cfg) is no longer read as outside its root. Nothing is removed from the plugin and nothing that worked before is refused. The installed plugin moved: scripts/lib/repo-fs.mjs, scripts/lib/caliper.mjs and scripts/lib/class-b.mjs with their plugin/ twins, and the version in plugin.json (git diff --stat 3aeab30 HEAD -- plugin/ lists the three libraries before the bump).

Fixed

• A real child folder whose name begins with two dots (..x, ..cfg) is no longer read as outside its root; a real ../sibling is still refused (CWK2-051). Four places tested a relative path with a lexical startsWith('..') and now share the one first-segment rule, escapesRoot in scripts/lib/repo-fs.mjs (now exported): containedNewPath in caliper.mjs (the state-path containment check), relLabel and containedIn in class-b.mjs (the class-B label and containment helpers), and the agent-home scan in scripts/verify.mjs. Three of the four ship in the installed plugin; verify.mjs is a dev gate and is not in plugin/. Before, a folder named ..x under the root was judged outside it, so a path through it was refused or lost its root-relative label. — test: scripts/lib/caliper.test.mjs, CWK2-051: containedNewPath reads a real child folder named ..x / ..cfg as INSIDE, and a real ../sibling as outside; scripts/lib/class-b.test.mjs, CWK2-051: containedIn and relLabel read a real child folder named ..x / ..cfg as INSIDE the root, and ../sibling as outside; scripts/lib/repo-fs.test.mjs, CWK2-051: escapesRoot tests the FIRST path segment: ..x and ..cfg are inside, .. and ../a and an absolute path are outside (the verify.mjs site has no test of its own; the gate runs it on every commit).

Changed

• Forward note on [1.12.6] (a released entry is never edited). Its Fixed bullet says "Before, every one of these told the user to replace the config file". That was true only for a refusal writeRepoFile raised itself (a folder on the way that resolves outside the project or does not resolve, or a target that is a link or not a regular file; a link that stayed inside was not refused). Measured at daeb04f, the parent of the 1.12.6 work, by running its scripts/configure.mjs --updateMode auto in a throwaway git project: with .claude a FILE it printed Error: Failed to write to config file: ENOTDIR: not a directory, mkdir '<project>\.claude\coal', and with .claude/coal a FILE it printed Error: Failed to write to config file: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '<project>\.claude\coal': a raw write error, no config-file advice. A folder that could not be made takes the same unwrapped mkdirSync in writeRepoFile at daeb04f (read from the code; the permission case was not run there). What 1.12.6 ships is unchanged: those causes now name the folder with advice that fits.
• Contributor-facing: the front-door link check's workflow is re-copied from the org canon. .github/workflows/front-door-links.yml is now blob f0cc9ec0, copied by blob from the templates/published-code copy at .github commit 7794678. Its job is now named front-door-links (it was check). Dev and CI only; nothing in the installed plugin.
