🐛 Harden upload path handling and validation error bodies (#12067)
* 🚑 Reject forged upload paths outside multipart

Transit bodies can smuggle upload maps whose path points at any
server file; the schema only checks the shape and handlers open
the path directly.

app.rpc now injects a server-side multipart flag that bodies cannot
forge, and methods declare their upload keys with the new
multipart-only-params metadata, enforced centrally after schema
validation with a params-validation error. Covers all nine upload
methods, including chunked and management flows.

* 🐛 Sanitize raw explain in generic validation error bodies

The generic :validation branch returned ex-data untouched, so errors
carrying the raw malli explain (live schema objects, e.g. storage
invalid-storage-metadata) broke JSON encoding mid-stream and clients
got truncated bodies. Apply the same clean treatment the known codes
already use: drop the raw explain and attach its humanized text.

* 🐛 Add e2e path traversal tests for binfile and media upload

Add two e2e suites that hand-write transit bodies with a forged
["~#path", ...] upload path (no transit library needed) and expect
400 validation/params-validation. They cover import-binfile :file,
upload-file-media-object :content and upload-chunk :content, plus a
plain-JSON string-path control case. Before the multipart-path fix
they failed (500 io-exception, invalid-image, 200 stored chunk);
after it they pass.

* 🐛 Use multipart helper in binfile SVG test setup

The SVG import setup uploaded through plain command!, so the new
multipart-only guard rejected it with params-validation. Switch
the setup to multipart-command! like the other upload tests.

* 🐛 Use multipart helper in remaining upload tests

The multipart-only upload guard rejects plain RPC calls carrying
upload maps. Five tests with real files still used command! and
failed with params-validation. Switch them to multipart-command!
while keeping the forged-content tests on plain command!.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.

Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.

Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.

Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.

The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.

With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.

Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.
