What
If the credentials file holding the cloud gateway's TLS pin is a symlink, the connection is refused outright and not retried. An unreadable pin is now reported as its own separate failure.
Details
Two distinct error kinds: gateway_pin_refused for the symlink case, gateway_pin_unreadable for a pin that cannot be read.
The symlink refusal suppresses retry; nothing turns this check off.
Evidence
Cloud gateway TLS pin is in a symlinked credentials file
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
