PR #48176 adds .aws to the protected metadata paths next to .git, .agents and .codex, covering workspace roots and extra writable roots. The reasoning in the PR is exact: an AWS profile can name a credential helper that the application executes, so write access to .aws is code execution. Tests cover deletion, replacement and symlink targets on macOS and Linux. PR #48155 does the companion fix, keeping explicit read denials in force when a user approves a command with broader write access, and masking Linux cases where binding the root writable shadowed standard devices or reopened denied symlink targets.
