From e27501ad9e9e1500e4e91e0906c5d0fc0b29ddf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Enamakel Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 20:03:13 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/27] fix(detect): handle missing os-release file gracefully The detection logic now returns an error instead of panicking when the os-release file is absent, allowing the caller to handle the missing information appropriately rather than crashing the process.

The change inspects the opened file descriptor and masks the access rights to only those applicable to files, ensuring full enforcement for file grants.
