Research direction
Start by locating Python's netrc module and the file-mode validation described in the issue. Compare behavior for /home/user/.netrc with other netrc paths and identify the existing tests, then ensure the intended validation is covered consistently by tests. The issue provides no named files or test entry point, so project guidance is needed before implementation.
