+/**
+ * ZIP-slip guard. `node-stream-zip`'s `extract(null, root)` writes each entry
+ * to `path.join(root, entry.name)` without neutralising `../` — a crafted
+ * archive with an entry named `../../uploads/logos/evil.svg` escapes `root`
+ * and overwrites arbitrary files (GHSA-jfhw-fj23-fx6x). Call this with the
+ * entry list BEFORE extract() to reject any entry that resolves outside the
+ * target directory.
+ *
+ * Purely lexical (path.resolve, no realpath) because the extraction target
+ * does not exist on disk yet. Absolute entry names (`/etc/passwd`) resolve
+ * away from `root` and are caught too. Throws AppError 400 on the first
+ * offending entry so the whole archive is refused.
+ *
+ * @param {Array<{name?: string}>} entries  node-stream-zip entry objects
+ * @param {string} extractRoot              directory extract() will write into
