+/**
+ * readLocalFile has two traversal guards: it rejects any path containing
+ * `..` before touching the filesystem, and it re-checks that the joined path
+ * still starts with the content root. The existing DocPage suites only
+ * exercise slugs that resolve inside docs/content/, so neither rejecting
+ * branch was ever executed.
+ *
+ * Each case below targets a file that really exists above the content root
+ * (this repository's own README.md / package.json), so if both guards are
+ * removed the page serves the README and the assertion fails on content,
+ * not by accident.
