tile_manifest_path arrives in the detection and segmentation request and was
read straight off disk, and a manifest entry may name an absolute tile path.
That makes an API field an unbounded reference to the host filesystem, and it
contradicts the rule the persistence model rests on: only a governed,
runtime-produced artifact may be consumed, and a file outside the storage root
is not one.
Both the manifest and every tile it names now resolve under STORAGE_ROOT.
Resolution happens before the comparison, so ".." cannot climb out and a
sibling that merely shares a name prefix does not pass.
GEOINTEL_ALLOW_EXTERNAL_ARTIFACT_PATHS opts out for provisioning workflows that
stage tiles before ingest.
The check honours the Settings the caller is operating under rather than the
process-wide ones, because every analysis path already threads its own.
The affected tests write manifests into tmp_path, so they now declare tmp_path
as the storage root — which is what a deployment does, and makes the fixtures
more honest than they were.
