Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Create the directory beforehand, or grant an existing parent that is acceptable to open, then retry.
Option: Create the directory beforehand, or grant an existing parent that is acceptable to open, then retry. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Granting extra sandbox read/write paths (policy allowedPaths / additional write paths) on Windows
Steps:
1. mkdir the target path before the sandboxed command.
2. Or add an existing parent directory to the allowed write paths.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
