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.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
