DOM.setFileInputFiles read client-supplied local file paths and handed the bytes to page JS with no access control — an arbitrary file-read primitive for anyone who can reach the CDP port (Docker images bind 0.0.0.0). Page.navigate to file:// already guards this behind context.allow_file_access (off by default); this applies the same gate, refusing before any std::fs::read when the flag is off.

TDD: a test proves the handler refuses to read an existing file when allow_file_access is off (RED returned the file bytes; GREEN errors). All 116 obscura-cdp tests pass.

Closes #579

… COULD NOT NAVIGATE TO A FRAGMENT (location.hash had only a getter, pushState was a stub, window.open returned null, a dispatched click on <a href> navigated NOTHING, fonts.load resolved before the font arrived, and blur/focus fired UNTRUSTED) — Quests h4ckf0r0day#580h4ckf0r0day#589 (ten quests, focus realm 208 -> 267/275, 0 regressions over 331 ritual rows)

h4ckf0r0day#583 Same-document navigation exists: location.hash (+ the writable Location
     partials), fragment navigation with :target sync (a[name] included in the
     Rust selector), hashchange/popstate on a task, viewport-fallback unfocus
     for a real target only; history.pushState/replaceState with clone and
     same-origin checks; Node.moveBefore; a dispatched trusted click follows
     hyperlinks through the shared _followHyperlink.
h4ckf0r0day#584 The sequential focus navigation starting point is a POSITION: flat-tree
     anchor chains captured at focus time survive removals, moved parents,
     slots and shadow hosts; clicks/blur/fixup/fragment set it; it outranks
     the focused element; backward navigation never lands ON a container it
     sits inside. sequential-focus-navigation-starting-point 0/20 -> 20/20.
h4ckf0r0day#585 Autofocus is a QUEUE in temporal insertion order with a fragment-target
     gate and per-top-context settling; frame documents focus their host
     iframe chain (frame nodes' ownerDocument lies — routing walks the tree).
h4ckf0r0day#586 The focus fixup rule, fully: fieldset-disabled with the first-legend
     escape, visibility from live inline declarations, style-write and
     insertion triggers, end-of-update-the-rendering timing. 1/8 -> 8/8.
h4ckf0r0day#587 blur/focus/focusin/focusout dispatch TRUSTED as real FocusEvents with
     relatedTarget; focus({focusVisible}) overrides the modality heuristic;
     hasFocus() is false without a browsing context.
h4ckf0r0day#588 window.open opens a WINDOW: a popup is a second top-level browsing
     context built from the frame machinery without a host element; its
     scripts run, load fires there, and focus never climbs into the opener.
h4ckf0r0day#582 document.fonts.load()/.ready actually wait: a render-side resource pump
     op folds landed bytes and reports in-flight fetches; geometry re-ships
     once settled.
h4ckf0r0day#580/h4ckf0r0day#581/h4ckf0r0day#589 (fork) empty <li> gets its marker's line box; marker layouts
     rebuild when a webfont arrives; ::before{display:list-item} generates a
     marker. marker-hit-testing 1/20 -> 7/20, marker-computed-size 3/8 -> 4/8.

The region diff caught two real regressions and both were closed in-session:
sandboxed and cross-origin frames' autofocus focused the iframe — the old code
had no frame autofocus at all, so nothing had ever needed the gates. A new
capability inherits every restriction the old incapacity was accidentally
enforcing.

Zero regressions: 331-row ritual pre/post diff (wpt_batch_par.sh, 4 shards);
the one flagged row is the documented flaky img file, re-proven 201/167/210 on
the same binary.

DOM.setFileInputFiles read client-supplied local file paths from disk
and handed their bytes to page JS with no access control. Any client
that can reach the CDP port (default localhost, but Docker images bind
0.0.0.0) could thus read any file the process can read — e.g.
setFileInputFiles with files=["/etc/passwd"].

Page.navigate to file:// already guards this exact threat behind
context.allow_file_access (off by default; opt in with
`obscura serve --allow-file-access`). Apply the same gate here, refusing
with a matching error before any std::fs::read when the flag is off.

Adds a test proving the handler refuses to read an existing file when
allow_file_access is off.

Closes h4ckf0r0day#579
