Walkthrough

GetRefFS now opens local and container reference directories with os.OpenRoot and returns an optional closer. Callers close rooted filesystems, and tests cover a reference template symlink targeting /etc/passwd.

Changes

Reference filesystem lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Open and close rooted reference filesystems
pkg/compare/compare.go, addon-tools/helm-convert/convert/convert.go
Options retains the opened reference root. Local and container references use os.OpenRoot. Complete and Helm conversion close the returned root and report close failures.
Validate symlink boundary behavior
pkg/compare/compare_test.go, pkg/compare/testdata/ReferenceContainsSymlinkOutsideRoot/...
The matcher validates complete error output. The fixture defines a required template through a symlink targeting /etc/passwd and checks the resulting parsing error.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to adf3a

Reference filesystems are now explicitly closed after conversion, but a failure to write the resulting close warning to stderr is silently ignored. This has limited runtime impact but reduces diagnostic visibility when output streams fail.

after all filesystem reads finish; return or propagate a closer alongside
root.FS() and ensure every ownership path closes it without changing read

Handle the warning write error.

Line 78 ignores the error returned by fmt.Fprintf. If stderr rejects the warning, the reference-root close failure is not reported. Capture and handle the write error instead of discarding it.
