This pull request updates the README.md file to improve clarity, structure, and user guidance while also adding a security check in the src/digital_persona/api.py file to validate file paths. Below is a summary of the most important changes:

Documentation Improvements:

  • The README.md file has been rewritten for better readability and organization. It now includes clearer descriptions of the project, its mission, features, architecture, and development setup. New sections such as "What is a Digital Persona?" and "Features and Architecture" have been added to provide a more comprehensive overview.
  • A detailed development setup guide has been added, explaining how to configure OpenAI and Ollama models, run the development CLI, and use the devcontainer for local development.
  • The "License" and "Documentation" sections have been streamlined, with links to GitHub Pages for research and schema documentation.

Security Enhancements:

  • A new security check has been added to the complete_interview function in src/digital_persona/api.py to ensure that output file paths are restricted to the OUTPUT_DIR directory. This prevents potential path traversal vulnerabilities.

Instead of a string prefix check, resolve OUTPUT_DIR and use out_path.is_relative_to(resolved_output_dir) to robustly verify that out_path is inside OUTPUT_DIR, preventing bypasses via symlinks or similar prefixes.

[nitpick] The triple-quoted string preserves line breaks, so the explicit "\n" is redundant; consider removing it to simplify the example.
