//! Phase 20 (Track E.5) — non-vacuous sandbox-escape regression suite.
//!
//! Each fixture under `tests/dynamic_fixtures/escape/<technique>/{vuln,benign}`
//! is a small statically-linked C program that:
//!
//! 1. prints `__NYX_SINK_HIT__` so the process backend's
//! [`SandboxOutcome::sink_hit`] flag flips to `true`, and
//! 2. (for `vuln/`) attempts the technique-specific escape — writing a
//! sentinel file to a host-absolute path.
//!
//! For each fixture the test asserts BOTH:
//!
//! - the sink probe fired (else: harness failed to boot, surfaced as a
//! `escape suite contains a Track-B regression` panic rather than a
//! silent pass), and
//! - the host-absolute sentinel path is absent after the run (i.e. the
//! chroot + seccomp + no_new_privs primitives kept the escape contained).
//!
//! Phase 17's primitives are the load-bearing guarantee. Removing any one
//! of them flips at least one fixture from green to red:
//!
//! | primitive removed | fixture that flips |
//! |-------------------------|---------------------------------------|
//! | `chroot` | all six (sentinels appear on host) |
//! | `seccomp` (`socket`) | `raw_socket_bind` |
//! | `seccomp` (`setuid`) | `setuid_zero` |
//! | `unshare(NEWPID|NEWUSER)`| `proc_root_passwd`, `setuid_zero` |
//! | `no_new_privs` | `chmod_4755` (setuid bit survives) |
//!
//! Build prerequisite: a `cc` that can `-static -O2`. Hosts without a
//! static libc skip with an `eprintln!` SKIP line — the suite's CI gate is
//! the Linux row with `libc6-dev` installed.
//!
//! Run with:
//! `cargo nextest run --features dynamic --test sandbox_escape_suite`
