A bounded filesystem interface used to scope access to project and runtime files.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
A virtual filesystem separates logical paths and operations from backing storage. Access control must be enforced during path resolution and operation, including traversal and aliasing cases.
A bounded filesystem interface used to scope access to project and runtime files.
Resolve normalized path p to resource r only if r lies within allowed root R and policy(actor,operation,r)=allow; reject traversal outside R.

PROCESS AND USE
How it works
at a glance.
Resolve virtual path
A bounded filesystem interface used to scope access to project and runtime files.
Apply access boundary
Resolve normalized path p to resource r only if r lies within allowed root R and policy(actor,operation,r)=allow; reject traversal outside R.
Read or write backing store
Read or write backing store. A virtual filesystem separates logical paths and operations from backing storage. Access control must be enforced during path resolution and operation, including traversal and aliasing cases.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
Workspace file operations run under bounded sandbox policies; confinement guarantees remain path and adapter specific.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

Analyzes design principles for protecting information in computer systems. It is foundational guidance, not an audit of this site's runtime boundary.
