From df0dd8745d69072be2f4dc407cb7561a8fde02c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Enamakel Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 20:14:36 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/29] refactor(module): thread private gid through directory refusal check The directory refusal helper now takes an optional private group id so callers can later distinguish a group that is private to the user from an ordinary shared group. The parameter is currently unused and every call site passes None, preserving existing behaviour.
