+/// Helpers for safely composing filesystem paths from untrusted input.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// <see cref="Path.Combine(string, string)"/> has two issues that matter in
+/// any code that joins a trusted directory with an externally-supplied name:
+/// it neither normalises <c>..</c> nor rejects a rooted second argument
+/// (a rooted second arg silently discards the first). Use the helpers below
+/// any time the name comes from media metadata, request input, archive
+/// entries, or any other channel that can be influenced by a third party.
