filip131311 c56cfa47f6 fix(installer): write rules and agents through a symlinked target (#731)
Fixes #701.

## The problem

`copyRulesAndAgents` copied the bundled trees onto each managed
directory with one recursive `fs.cpSync`. When the destination is a
symlink at a directory elsewhere, `fs.cp` refuses to overwrite it:

```
Could not copy agents to /repo/.claude/agents: Error: Cannot overwrite non-directory
/repo/.claude/agents with directory .../@swmansion/argent/agents
```

Everything else installs, so it reads as a success apart from one
warning line — but `argent-environment-inspector` never lands, while
`rules/argent.md` keeps telling the agent to use it.

The layout is the point of the report: keep one canonical,
harness-neutral copy of the definitions and symlink each vendor path at
it, so there's one definition to edit and no drift. The host tools
already support that — Claude Code documents symlinks for
`.claude/rules/`, and loads argent's skills through exactly such a link
today. `rules/` had the same defect; the reporter just hadn't symlinked
it.

## It is worse than the report on Node 20

`fs.cp`'s handling of a symlinked destination depends on which runtime
you are on — Node 20 and Node 22 ship different implementations, and
they disagree exactly here. Measured on both:

| destination | Node 20 (JS impl) | Node 22 (C++ impl) |
|---|---|---|
| top-level symlinked dir | refuses (the reported bug) | refuses (the
reported bug) |
| nested symlinked dir | refuses | writes through |
| symlinked **file** | **replaces the link, canonical left stale** |
writes through |
| dangling / unwritable dir | catchable throw | **aborts the process,
exit 134** |

So on Node 20 — which is what this repo's own CI runs — released 0.18.1
silently leaves a symlinked agent file stale on every `update`, with no
warning at all. Verified against the released CLI:

```
released 0.18.1, Node 20:  symlinked file: canon=stale  link=intact   (0 warnings)
                           nested symlinked dir: files-in-canonical=0
```

## The fix

The copy walks the tree itself, resolving each destination as it goes,
and copies leaves with `fs.copyFileSync`. Nothing is delegated to
`fs.cp`: that is what makes the behaviour the same on every supported
runtime, and `copyFileSync` reports each failure — dangling link, loop,
unwritable directory, a link pointing at a directory — as a plain
catchable errno.

The fix lives in `copyDir` rather than in a new helper because that
function was already an exact, unused copy of the same buggy shape.
Routing `copyRulesAndAgents` through it covers rules and agents, init
and update, and removes the latent duplicate.

That also settles the case that kills the install outright on Node 22:
`fs.cp` does not throw when it cannot create a directory, it aborts
through an uncatchable C++ `std::filesystem` exception. Two reachable
shapes, both verified against released 0.18.1:

- a broken `.claude/agents/references` link (the bundled agents tree
really does have that subdirectory) — `argent init` dies at exit 134
mid-run;
- **a read-only `.claude/agents`** — same abort, and this one needs no
symlink at all, so it hits users of today's release.

Both are now ordinary reported warnings.

Resolution follows a link chain to its end, resolves each hop against
the directory the link really lives in (not the lexical parent — they
differ when a parent is itself a link into another subtree), and
completes a dangling link only into a directory that already exists, so
a link can't conjure a tree at an arbitrary path.

Where the bytes land can now differ from the configured path, so the
output names both — in the same shortened form the rest of the
managed-content output uses: `Copied agents to .claude/agents ->
.agents/agents`. A destination outside the workspace stays absolute, so
an escape stands out. Nothing changes for a layout with no symlinks.

## Verification

Reproduced against released 0.18.1 and a local build, then re-run
against the fix. Every row below was executed end-to-end through the
real `argent init`:

| scenario | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `.claude/agents -> ../.agents/agents` (the report) | warning, no files
| both files land, link intact |
| single symlinked `.md` file inside a real `.claude/agents` | worked |
still works (regression test added) |
| symlink chain to a real directory | warning, no files | resolves,
files land |
| link created before its target directory | warning, no files | target
completed, files land |
| dangling `.claude/agents/references` | **abort, exit 134** | files
land, no warning |
| **read-only `.claude/agents`, no symlinks** | **abort, exit 134** |
`EACCES` warning, install completes |
| link at a file / dangling into a missing tree | warning | warning,
victim untouched, nothing created |
| destination outside the project | writes there | writes there,
disclosed absolutely |
| `.gemini` / `.opencode` / `.cursor` targets, global `~/.claude` scope
| refused | land correctly |
| uninstall over a symlinked layout | — | removes only argent's files;
user's files, link and directory kept |
| re-run over a populated layout (`update`) | — | clean, no warnings |
| symlinked file, **Node 20** | **silently stale, no warning** |
canonical updated, link intact |
| nested symlinked dir, **Node 20** | refused | writes through, link
intact |
| no symlinks anywhere | works | unchanged, no redirect in output |

Every row was run under **both Node 20 and Node 22**, with identical
outcomes on each. 15 new unit tests; 552 green on both runtimes. Build,
eslint, prettier and the test typecheck all pass. Symlink tests skip on
Windows, matching `update.test.ts`.

`argent update` is not run here because it acts on the real global npm
install, but its call site is byte-identical to init's and the same
function was exercised directly in both scopes.

## Deliberately not in this PR

- **The summary still prints a green "Rules & agents copied" when a copy
failed** (`copiedRules: copyResults.length > 0` in `init.ts`). The issue
calls this out as why the failure was easy to overlook. Fixing it
honestly means giving `copyRulesAndAgents` a structured return and
deciding whether a failed copy should make `argent update` exit non-zero
— a separate change, and the general case isn't symlink-specific. Happy
to follow up.
- **Uninstall leaves both halves of a symlinked layout.** It removes
argent's files through the link correctly and never touches the user's
link or their other files; it just can't prune the emptied canonical
directory (`rmdir` on a symlink fails `ENOTDIR`, swallowed). Not a
regression, and arguably right.
- **Writing through a link can leave the workspace.** That is
pre-existing — `fs.cp` already wrote through symlinked files and nested
symlinked directories before this change — and confining it would break
the very layout the issue asks for. What this PR does add is bounded: a
dangling link is completed only where its parent already exists.
