| Area | Guardrail |
|---|---|
| Untrusted input | Validate files from untrusted sources before processing. |
| Large files | May consume memory on large files. Test with smaller samples first. |
| Output handling | Pipe output safely. Binary output may corrupt terminal. |
| Symlinks | Tool may follow or skip symlinks. Check man page for behavior. |
