+# Security tripwire for GHSA-wrw7-89jp-8q8g / RUSTSEC-2024-0429:
+# "Unsoundness in Iterator/DoubleEndedIterator impls for glib::VariantStrIter".
+#
+# glib 0.18.5 ships (Linux desktop only) in our build graph, transitively via
+# the gtk-rs / webkit2gtk / wry / tao stack that Tauri 2.x pins. The unsound
+# `glib::VariantStrIter::impl_get` passes an immutable ref to a NULL pointer to
+# a variadic C out-arg; recent rustc elides the write, so a later
+# `CStr::from_ptr` null-derefs → process crash (DoS). It triggers when a
+# `VariantStrIter` is iterated.
+#
+# We ACCEPT this risk only because that path is dead code: the sole public
+# producer of a VariantStrIter is `glib::Variant::array_iter_str()`, and it has
+# ZERO callers anywhere in our source or the entire dependency graph. (The
+# common `Variant::get::<Vec<String>>()` path uses a different, safe per-element
+# iterator and never touches it.) A clean fix is blocked — gtk 0.18.x hard-pins
+# `glib ^0.18`, glib 0.18.5 is the terminal 0.18.x release with no backport, and
+# glib >= 0.20 (the patched line) requires the Tauri V3 / gtk4-rs migration.
+#
+# This script locks that "zero callers" invariant. It resolves the actual Linux
+# build graph (glib only ships on Linux), then greps every dependency's source —
+# plus our own src-tauri/src — for the symbol, EXCLUDING the `glib` crate where
+# it is legitimately defined. Any hit means the unsound path may now be
+# reachable in a shipped Linux binary.
+#
+# If this fails, do NOT silence it. Either:
+#   * use the safe `Variant::get::<Vec<String>>()` path instead, or
+#   * bump glib >= 0.20 (needs the Tauri V3 / gtk4-rs upgrade).
+#
+# Assumptions (re-audit if any change):
+#   * Pinned to glib 0.18.5, whose only public producer of a VariantStrIter is
+#     Variant::array_iter_str(). If Cargo.lock bumps glib, re-audit
+#     GHSA-wrw7-89jp-8q8g — a new producer/method may need a new pattern.
+#   * One first-party crate (src-tauri); add any new workspace members below.
+#   * Matches text in any *.rs (comments included) — intentional fail-safe: a
+#     hit means "investigate", never "weaken the pattern".
+#
+# Cheap by design: `cargo metadata` + grep, no compilation.
