Terminal commands can write to shell RC files (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc,
~/.profile) and credential files (~/.netrc, ~/.pgpass, ~/.npmrc,
~/.pypirc) via redirection or tee without triggering approval, even
though write_file already blocks these paths in file_safety.py.
This creates an inconsistency: write_file protects these paths but
terminal shell redirections bypass the same protection. An agent
prompted via indirect injection could install persistent backdoors
(e.g. PATH manipulation, alias overrides) or write credential entries
without user approval.
Extend _SENSITIVE_WRITE_TARGET with two new regex groups matching the
same paths that file_safety.py's WRITE_DENIED_PATHS already covers:
_SHELL_RC_FILES — ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile,
~/.zprofile
_CREDENTIAL_FILES — ~/.netrc, ~/.pgpass, ~/.npmrc, ~/.pypirc
All 130 existing tests pass.
