Completed comprehensive code review of tree tool implementation with path traversal protection and parameter validation. No changes required.

Review Findings

Security Implementation

  • Path validation correctly blocks .. traversal and absolute paths
  • Canonical path verification handles symlink escapes
  • Double validation pattern (syntactic pre-join + canonical post-join) is sound
  • Test coverage includes traversal attempts, absolute paths, and symlink edge cases

Parameter Validation

  • MCP tool validates depth > 0, size > 0, and show mode enum
  • Error messages properly internationalized (en/pl)
  • Validation occurs before filesystem operations

Architecture

  • Security validation shared correctly between parser and writer crates
  • Breaking change (vault_tree now async) is necessary and documented
  • Frontend settings properly wired for tree configuration

Code Quality

  • 305/305 tests passing
  • Follows Rust best practices with proper error propagation
  • Clean separation of concerns across modules

The implementation is production-ready with strong security foundations.

Extract path traversal and symlink validation from kajet-writer into
reusable module in kajet-core.

Security features:
- Blocks .. components (path traversal)
- Blocks absolute paths
- Verifies canonical paths after symlink resolution
- Handles non-existent paths (for creation workflows)

Remove duplicate validation functions and use the shared utilities
from kajet-core::path_validation module.

All writer tests pass without regression.

Move path validation utilities to kajet-parser to avoid cyclic
dependencies. Add security tests and make vault_tree async to enable
validation.

Security fixes:
- Block .. components (path traversal)
- Block absolute paths
- Verify canonical paths after symlink resolution

Breaking change: vault_tree() is now async and requires .await

Also update kajet-mcp to call async vault_tree correctly.

Add explicit validation for tree tool parameters:
- Reject depth=0 with clear error message
- Reject size=0 with clear error message
- Reject invalid show values (only 'folders' or 'files' allowed)
- None/missing show defaults to 'folders'

Previously invalid parameters would silently fallback or produce
confusing behavior. Now they return explicit errors.

Add internationalized error messages for tree tool parameter validation:
- tree_invalid_show: Invalid show mode error
- tree_depth_zero: Depth must be at least 1
- tree_size_zero: Size must be at least 1

Available in English and Polish. MCP handler now uses t!() macro
for all validation errors.
