## Why
An `apply_patch` path can be replaced with a symlink after verification, allowing an unsandboxed patch operation to reach a different file than the one that was approved.
## What changed
- Add `follow_symlinks` options to executor filesystem reads, writes, metadata lookups, directory creation, and removal, including the corresponding `followSymlinks` protocol fields.
- Implement no-follow filesystem operations on Unix and Windows that reject links in any path component and restrict file access to regular files.
- Run `apply_patch` with symlink traversal disabled when an otherwise-required sandbox is bypassed, while retaining the existing follow-symlink default for standalone callers.
## Testing
- Cover leaf and ancestor symlinks across patch add, update, delete, and move operations, including a path swap after verification.
- Exercise local and remote no-follow filesystem behavior, concurrent directory creation, special-file rejection, and Windows reparse points.

## Why
The Linux sandbox represents missing protected metadata paths such as `.git`
with empty read-only directories. Repository and project discovery treated any
`.git` directory as a checkout root, so this synthetic directory could hide a
real parent repository and its trust configuration.
## What changed
- Treat a `.git` directory as repository metadata only when it contains
`HEAD`, while continuing to recognize file-based `.git` entries.
- Protect missing `.git` paths with the same read-only synthetic mounts as
other workspace metadata without disrupting parent-repository discovery.
- Canonicalize and read-only bind the synthetic-mount registry into the
sandbox, and make protected-path cleanup handle read-only directory trees.
## Testing
Added coverage for repository, project-root, trust, synthetic-mount, and
Landlock behavior, including nested incomplete `.git` directories and a
redirected `TMPDIR`.

## Why
A checkout could point its `.git` file at a trusted repository's worktree
directory without proving that the repository had registered that checkout.
This could cause project configuration from an unrelated checkout to be treated
as trusted.
## What changed
- Verify the linked worktree's `gitdir` backlink, `commondir`, registered
checkout, and main checkout ownership before resolving the main repository's
trust key.
- Reject missing, oversized, symlinked, mismatched, or swapped Git metadata.
- Preserve valid linked worktrees that use path aliases, separate Git
directories, or non-UTF-8 POSIX paths.
## Testing
Add resolver and config-loading coverage for forged worktrees, metadata races,
case-sensitive paths, moved worktrees, and host MCP startup from project config.
