A dangling symbolic link disappears from metadata results · case 02

A dangling symbolic link disappears from metadata results.

Member previewVariant 2 · 3 implementations · 6 checks per implementation

Case contract

Deterministic in-memory filesystem model. entries maps flat names to [kind,target], where kind is file,dir,or link and target is used only for links. Return named entry kind or missing without following any link.

Why this case matters

An offline semantic experiment for file API clients; it models only the stated operations, not a complete operating system.

One recorded failure
