Research direction
Start at src/uu/mktemp/src/mktemp.rs around line 602, where the mktemp error is produced. Reproduce the command shown with cargo run mktemp -p / and inspect the existing error formatting. Done means the permission error no longer includes the OS error code and text, while the relevant path and command behavior remain intact.
