What
Copying a task's output file now verifies it is an ordinary file with a single link before and after opening it, and refuses if anything changed in between.
Details
Checks for a regular file with link count 1, opens refusing symlinks and without blocking, then re-verifies device, inode and link count through the open handle.
Refuses on ELOOP, EISDIR, ENOTDIR, ENXIO and EOPNOTSUPP, or on any change between the first check and the open, with a logged error.
Evidence
task output swap refused
