> +
> +3.1. Distribution of Source Form
> +
> +All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
> +Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
> +the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
> +Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this

> +Form.

> +

> +(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
> +    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
> +    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
> +    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
> +
> +3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
> +
> +You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
> +provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
> +the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
> +Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
> +Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
> +License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
> +under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
> +the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
> +Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
> +License(s).
> +
> +3.4. Notices
> +
> +You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
> +(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
> +or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
> +the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
> +the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

> +3.5. Application of Additional Terms

> +indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
> +Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on

Should this return an error instead of panicking?

Missing check that arch and branch are not empty, "." or "..", that
they do not exceed NAME_MAX (255) bytes, and do not contain '/'.
I would also check for NUL in case some weird filesystem image has it.

I will call this "path component validation" below.

This code is all duplicated between the app and runtime directories.
I recommend using a common function for both.

Nit: extra comma.  Also, there are other preconditions, like
‘empty’ being a valid C string.

Is this really needed?  It looks redundant.  If it isn’t, I’d
add a comment explaining why.

I'd still add a limit for the amount of data that will be read.
Anything passed 128KiB is almost certainly a bug or attack.  Forcing
OOM conditions is a useful attack primitive, as OOM errors may be
mishandled in various places.

Adding a cgroup is necessary, but having this code run in it isn't
trivial, as it isn't a supervised process.
