Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Memory Safety: A potential stack buffer overflow and off-by-one out-of-bounds write existed in the bundle bootstrapping code when retrieving the executable path. If exploited, this could lead to arbitrary code execution or local privilege escalation during application startup. Future changes to native bootstrapping templates must strictly validate buffer capacities when calling system APIs.
