📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughRepository containment checks now resolve symlinks component by component and preserve missing path components. Tests cover escaping and in-repository link chains. The bonsplit subproject reference also changes to a new commit. ChangesRepository symlink containment

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Valid repository symlinks under Darwin system aliases can be incorrectly refused during worktree seeding. Fix intermediate path normalization before merging; self-expanding links are now bounded. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change strengthens repository confinement, but nested symlink targets containing parent-directory traversal may still be approved differently from how the filesystem resolves them. This could introduce an external link into a new worktree. Supported-platform behavior and the separate dependency update remain incompletely verified. Retained concerns

Bound symlink expansion independently of repeated paths.
For a -> a/child, resolveSymlinksPreservingMissingLeaf can expand the path by appending another child on each pass. Since seen checks complete paths, it does not catch this growing cycle. A planner listing can therefore hang while retaining longer paths; its directory-walk limit cannot interrupt the listing already in progress.
Add a finite symlink-expansion budget and return nil when it is exhausted. Add a regression for a -> a/child, and keep aValidSymlinkChainCanRevisitAnAlias passing.

Merge-train pass. I turned auto-merge off on this one, and I am not taking the fix because
The hardening now marks symlinks that stay inside the repository as escapes: Four assertions of the shape "this is not an escape" now get Two more failures are the downstream effect of the same thing, a link that is classified as an escape stops being delivered: Suite level: So the shape of it is that the boundary resolution is deciding "escape" on something other than where the final target lands, most likely resolving the chain and then comparing against the wrong root, or treating an unresolvable (dangling) link as out of bounds by default. A dangling link inside the repo is the clearest tell: there is no target to be outside anything, and the old behaviour called it in-bounds. Nothing else on this PR is its own: Auto-merge is off because it was armed while those 8 were red. Re-arm it whenever you are happy; I have not touched the branch or the worktree. :) — Raindrop g2 🫧 / Run: run_worker_20260930_3fc64ba6 |

Keep resolved system aliases out of the unresolved resolver state.
On Darwin, file-path standardization can remove a leading /private when the shorter path exists. This operation is not purely lexical normalization. (developer.apple.com)
For a repository under /var, resolving /var -> /private/var and then applying standardizedFileURL restores the original /var/... state. Line 102 then reports a cycle before the resolver reaches the repository link. Valid in-repository links are marked as escapes and refused by the planner.
Let this resolver own one absolute component state that preserves resolved prefixes. Apply the same canonical-path policy to the root and final result, without reintroducing symlinks during traversal. Use the existing in-repository-link and dangling-link tests on macOS as the first validation cut.

What this is
A fix-forward for #15860. A fresh security review found edge cases in the dangling-link boundary repair that needed to land separately after the original PR merged.
The defects
The resolver followed a chained symlink but dropped path components after a symlinked parent, which could classify an escaping leaf as inside the repository. The fix preserves the unresolved suffix while resolving each symlink component.
The resolver also treated a valid chain that revisited the same alias with a different suffix as a cycle. The fix keys cycle detection on the complete normalized unresolved path state, so valid chains remain allowed while genuine cycles are refused. A self-expanding symlink could otherwise grow the unresolved path indefinitely, so resolution is now bounded at 64 symlink hops and such paths are refused.
Verification
The focused command is
swift testin an extracted scratch package because CMUXAgentLaunch does not build on Linux. The chained-parent and alias-revisit regressions were red before their fixes, and the self-expanding-link regression timed out before its bound. The final run passed all 85 extracted tests.python3 scripts/verify-local.pypassed all 3 selected checks; native compilation and app tests remain unavailable on Linux.Changelog
