What
Validation now warns when a marketplace file is a symlink or sits behind one, and validates each entry's plugin.json completely rather than only reading it to cross-check the version.
Details
The file reader distinguishes absent, refused, too large and ok instead of collapsing everything into a failure.
A missing file or a path component that is not a directory counts as absent; any other unexpected filesystem error is now surfaced rather than swallowed.
Evidence
is or traverses a symlink, so
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
