"""Cross-platform path containment helpers. Uses ``os.path.realpath`` + ``os.path.commonpath`` rather than ``Path.resolve() + relative_to()`` to survive Windows 8.3 short names (e.g. ``C:\\Users\\RUNNER~1``) that can appear in one of the two paths but not the other on older Python. Why this lives in one place: the same helper is needed by autopilot, registry, cans, eval-gate, quant-check, and trace harvesting. Keeping it in a single module guarantees a single behaviour across the CLI.
