Sorry? He has no right to know what the output path is from daemon. Just
to make build fail.

Now, someone "builds" an expression containing all your passwords and
not even requesting to be able to see the result (owners is a derivation
attribute, so different owner set would mean different owner). Do you
care how it fails?

A simple derivation attribute. Just like buildInputs. Called "owners".
Why do you ask about arcane FS concepts all the time?
