"""Read or write the ownership sweep sentinel without following symlinks.
The sentinel lives in /config, which the unprivileged runtime user owns, so it
can be swapped for a symlink. read trusts only a root-owned regular file; write
never follows a symlink or fifo onto another file.
Usage:
safe-sentinel read PATH print content, exit 0 only if root-owned regular file
safe-sentinel write PATH CONTENT write CONTENT to a regular file at PATH
