Preserve the public FileLoader construction contract.

FileLoader previously had the same underlying structure as Config, and New used FileLoader(cfg). The added unexported root field breaks that conversion for existing callers. A direct or zero-value FileLoader also reaches l.root.ReadFile with a nil root and can panic.

If external callers use FileLoader, preserve the existing construction path or make the breaking change explicit through New. Add a downstream compile test.

In `@artifact/loaders/local/local.go` at line 20, Update FileLoader and New to
preserve the existing FileLoader(cfg) construction contract, or explicitly
migrate construction through New without leaving existing callers broken; ensure
direct or zero-value FileLoader instances cannot call l.root.ReadFile with a nil
root, and add a downstream compile test covering external construction and
usage.

GO-2026-4970 os.Root trailing slash symlink vulnerability fixed Go 1.25.12 1.26.5

💡 Result:

GO-2026-4970 is a security vulnerability (CVE-2026-39822) identified in the Go programming language's os.Root functionality on Unix systems [1][2][3]. The flaw allowed for a root escape: when a path provided to an os.Root operation ended in a trailing slash and the final path component was a symbolic link, the system would incorrectly follow that symlink even if it pointed to a location outside the defined root directory [1][4][5]. This issue was addressed in the Go 1.25.12 and 1.26.5 releases [6][5]. The fix involves sanitizing the path parameters to properly handle trailing slashes and ensuring that symbolic link resolution behavior is restricted to stay within the intended root [4][7][5]. The os.Root API, which was introduced in Go 1.24, is the only component affected; programs that do not utilize this API remain unaffected [8].

Citations:

Use a patched Go toolchain for the confinement guarantee.

The module declares go 1.26, but this does not require Go 1.26.5 or later. On older affected releases, root.ReadFile(path) can follow a final symlink outside the root when path ends with /. Use Go 1.25.12+, Go 1.26.5+, or a patched Go 1.27 release. Add a regression test for this case.
