Summary
This documentation-only change updates the
tarfileextraction guidance to mention platform-specific filename semantics.It adds a note to the "Hints for further verification" section explaining that Windows pathnames may have reserved meanings, including NTFS Alternate Data Streams (ADS), and points users to
os.path.isreserved()where appropriate.No
tarfilebehavior, extraction filters, or runtime code are changed.Validation
