@std/fs/exists returns true when a path is inaccessible.

Describe the bug

@std/fs/exists returns true when a path is inaccessible.

Steps to Reproduce

$ ls /root
ls: cannot open directory '/root': Permission denied
$ cat test.ts
import { exists } from "jsr:@std/fs@^1.0.15";

console.log(await exists("/root/foo"))
$ deno run --allow-read test.ts
true
$

Expected behavior

Throw an error. Maybe a Deno.errors.PermissionDenied like Deno.readDir("/root")?

Environment

• OS: Fedora 41
• deno version: 2.2.6
• std version: 1.0.15

exists has an option isReadable, does that cover your use case?

import { exists } from "jsr:@std/fs@^1.0.15";
console.log(await exists("/root/foo", { isReadable: true }));

this error is also reproducible in NodeJS
