## Why
External-agent migration treated symlinked empty text targets as overwritable files. Writing migrated configuration through such a target could modify a file outside the repository.
## What changed
- Use symlink metadata when checking whether a migration target is missing or empty, so only regular files are considered overwritable.
- Preserve symlinked `AGENTS.md` and `.codex/hooks.json` targets during both detection and import.
## Testing
Added Unix regression coverage for existing and dangling symlink targets for both guidance and hooks migration.
