feat: add homeDirectory accessor to FileSystem

Open cnaples79 opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Summary

  • surface a homeDirectory property on FileSystemProtocol and the concrete file system implementation
  • resolve the current user's home directory via environment variables with a getpwuid_r fallback

Rationale

  • fixes #3381 by providing an async API to retrieve the current user's home directory

Changes

  • add protocol requirements and implementations for homeDirectory
  • extend syscall helpers and error mapping to support getpwuid_r
  • document the new API and add an integration test covering the returned path

Fixes #3381
