Fix case-sensitive filesystem handling in stub validator

[Copilot]

Summary

• What: Remove lowercase normalization in is_under_allowed() path comparison.
• Why: Prevent false negatives on case-sensitive filesystems where Content/ would incorrectly match ALLOWED_ROOTS = ("content",).

Changes

• Remove .lower() call in scripts/validate_no_stubs.py:33
• Update docstring to clarify case-sensitive behavior

Before:

def is_under_allowed(p: Path) -> bool:
    s = str(p).replace('\\', '/').lstrip('./')
    s = s.lower()  # Problematic on case-sensitive FS
    for root in ALLOWED_ROOTS:
        if s == root or s.startswith(root + '/'):
            return True
    return False

After:

def is_under_allowed(p: Path) -> bool:
    s = str(p).replace('\\', '/').lstrip('./')
    # No lowercasing - case-sensitive match
    for root in ALLOWED_ROOTS:
        if s == root or s.startswith(root + '/'):
            return True
    return False

Migration steps

N/A - backward compatible fix

Testing

• Verified content/ matches, Content/ does not
• Confirmed script runs successfully against existing content/ directory

Rollback plan

• Revert commit if case-insensitive matching is required on Windows (not expected based on current usage)

Checklist

• Code change made
• Manual testing completed
• Code review passed
• Security scan passed

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a security/correctness issue in the stub validator script where case normalization could allow files in incorrectly-cased directories (e.g., "Content/") to be validated on case-sensitive filesystems when only "content/" should be allowed.

Changes:

• Removed .lower() normalization in path comparison to enforce case-sensitive matching
• Updated docstring to document case-sensitive behavior
