What
When a path Claude wants to write to resolves through a symbolic link (a file that points to another location), the Write tool now refuses the write outright with a message telling the user to write to the link's actual target path instead. Previously this either followed the link silently or asked for permission.
Why
This prevents writes from being silently redirected through a symlink to an unexpected location, and makes the real destination explicit instead.
