test_recordstart_symlink_escape_replies_error expected "invalid record
file name" (the -EINVAL string), but sched_validate_record_filename()'s
canonical-path containment check has always, correctly, returned
-EACCES ("permission denied accessing record file") for a symlink
escaping record_dir -- confirmed against test_recording_path_validation.c's
own direct unit test for the identical scenario, which already asserts
-EACCES and has always passed.
Not environment-dependent as originally suspected (this project's
buglog carried it as a uid-1000-vs-root permission-check-ordering
theory across 7+ sightings since Aug 15) -- it fails identically
regardless of uid, since escape-containment and filesystem-permission
errors were never actually conflated in production code, only in this
test's assertion. No production code changed.
