What
When a background task's output file resolves outside the expected directory and has to be moved back into it, the copy now refuses to follow symlinks, refuses to overwrite an existing file, verifies the file identity before and after, and copies in bounded chunks. If anything goes wrong after the initial safety check the operation now fails with a clear reroot error instead of silently swallowing it.
Details
Applies to background and bash task output-path handling, with no gate.
Evidence
reroot failed after the gate
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
