What

Sanitize test filenames before displaying them in terminal output, preventing ANSI escape sequence injection.

Why

Filenames containing ANSI escape sequences can execute arbitrary terminal commands when displayed by yath (see #286, inspired by CVE-2025-XXXX). A malicious CPAN dist could include test files with crafted names that clear the screen, reposition the cursor, or worse when yath runs them.

How

  • Added sanitize_filename() to Test2::Harness::Util — strips CSI/OSC sequences, replaces remaining control characters with caret notation (e.g. \x01^A)
  • Applied at all display entry points:
    • Renderer::Formatter (LAUNCH/RETRY/PASSED/FAILED tags)
    • Formatter::Test2 (active files status line)
    • Auditor (final summary data: failed/retried/halted/unseen)
    • Command::test, Command::failed, Command::abort, Command::status (direct prints)

Testing

  • 11 new subtests in t/unit/Test2/Harness/Util.t covering CSI stripping, OSC stripping, control char escaping, and combined cases
  • All existing tests pass

Fixes #286

Add sanitize_filename() to Test2::Harness::Util that strips ANSI
escape sequences (CSI/OSC) and replaces remaining control characters
with caret notation. Applied at all display entry points: renderer,
formatter, auditor, and command output.
