doc_open, doc_save and the other automation file paths only took
forward-slash relative paths, so an agent passing C:/Users/me/a.png with
a C:/ root was refused. An absolute path is now compared with the
root's absolute path as text: if it lies beneath the root, the root's
components are stripped and the rest goes through the same checks as a
relative path and is opened through the same directory capability.
Nothing is resolved on the filesystem, so traversal, prefixes, device
names and link escapes are refused as before; absolute paths outside
the root, or with no root granted, are still refused.
Fixes#2176.
Fixes#1833. Control and MCP may run Edit Contents, Convert to Layers and Save Contents on smart objects whose source is in memory (embedded, or a Photoshop UUID backed by embedded liFD data). Before any disk read the engine re-checks the source's stored path through the session's authorize gate, including nested sources re-rendered while unpacking, so external linked files stay refused; explicit layer targets work with another layer selected, and interactive linked-file access is unchanged.

The MCP server follows the crafts' shared conventions (FilmCraft #28): core tools
incl. render_preview, titles and annotation hints, strict argument keys (-32602),
live photocraft://document and photocraft://commands resources, and -32700
recovery from malformed JSON lines. Headless Render Video writes through the
granted write root, reports progress, stays ping-responsive and can be cancelled,
removing only the files it created. docs/mcp.md describes it.
