+ * We test that the file list entry allocation and copy logic does not
+ * allow a basename length to overflow the allocated buffer. Since flist.c
+ * uses internal functions that are difficult to call in isolation, we
+ * simulate the invariant check that MUST hold: the allocated buffer for
+ * a file entry must be >= the basename length before any memcpy occurs.
+ *
+ * We exercise this by calling recv_file_list via a crafted protocol stream.
+ * However, since setting up the full rsync protocol is complex, we instead
+ * validate the bounds-checking helper that should gate the memcpy.
+ *
+ * Invariant: For any basename_len received from remote, the allocated
+ * flist entry buffer (flist_expand + per-entry alloc) must be at least
+ * basename_len bytes, or the entry must be rejected.
