<CRITICAL_SAFETY_ADVISORY>
INCIDENT RECORD (2026-05-25): A recursive deletion of the home directory was triggered due to an unresolved path variable.
MANDATORY SAFETY CHECKS:
- Variable Validation: Before any
rm -rfor similar destructive command, EXPLICITLY verify that all variables are non-empty and resolve to paths strictly within the intended workspace. - Path Anchoring: Always anchor paths to the project root or a known-safe subdirectory.
- Library Preference: Prefer language-native file utilities (e.g., Ruby's
FileUtils.rm_rf) over shell commands when possible, as they provide better inherent safety for empty path arguments.
