What

When a session transcript cannot be read, the error says why in plain words: the file is a symbolic link, something other than a regular file is in its place, it exceeds the size limits, or it changed while being read, in which case you are told to run the command again.

Details
  • Replaces raw filesystem error codes in the session load path.
  • Symlinked transcripts are reported as unsupported rather than silently followed.
Evidence

this session's transcript is a symbolic link, which session storage does not read through.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
