- #85387: \[Security\] Dashboard managed-files write endpoints can overwrite .env / config.yaml — read-side sensitive guard not applied to writes
- PR #85415: fix(security): block writes to sensitive paths in managed-files API

These items address a security gap where write endpoints in the dashboard's managed-files API lacked guards against overwriting sensitive files such as .env and config.yaml. The work involves applying credential/sensitive-path protections consistently across both read and write routes.
