test: clear remaining Codacy args_os finding on OS-restart smoke - #62
Conversation
Codacy Semgrep flags both current_exe and args_os as "should not be used for security operations". The corpus-ipc smoke is Linux-only, so resolve the test binary through /proc/self/exe instead. Co-authored-by: Raul Cardenas Montoya <montoyaraul34@gmail.com>

This PR addresses a Codacy security finding by replacing args_os with /proc/self/exe for test process re-execution. However, the implementation introduces a cross-platform compatibility issue that will cause test failures on non-Linux systems.
Critical Issue:
/proc/self/exeonly exists on Linux and will panic on macOS/Windows
Required Fix:
Add platform-specific conditional compilation to prevent runtime panics on non-Linux platforms.

When a developer enables corpus-ipc on macOS or Windows as supported by docs/ci.md:26-31, this test target still runs, but /proc/self/exe does not exist and the unconditional expect panics before spawning the child. The previous executable lookup was portable, so use a platform-specific fallback or gate this test to Linux rather than breaking the feature-enabled test suite on those systems.
