Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 663aca3b05 fix(setup): alias skills install as rewritten copies, never symlinks
The two back-compat alias dirs — _gstack-command (root router) and
connect-chrome (→ open-gstack-browser) — symlinked the canonical SKILL.md
verbatim, so each alias re-served the canonical frontmatter name:. Claude
Code keys skills on that name and requires global uniqueness: the
connect-chrome duplicate silently shadowed /open-gstack-browser (whichever
readdir returned first won), and the _gstack-command duplicate could drop
the ENTIRE personal-skills set — every /gstack command vanished until the
user hand-deleted the alias dirs, and the next setup re-broke it.

Fix: copy-then-rewrite. A shared _install_alias_skill_md helper reads the
SOURCE SKILL.md and writes a fresh copy with name: rewritten to the alias
dir's own name (_gstack-command / connect-chrome / gstack-connect-chrome).
sed never edits in place: on Unix the old install was a symlink into the
repo, and an in-place rewrite through it would have corrupted the generated
source (eng review E2). bin/gstack-relink gets the same treatment for its
root-alias helper, and its discovery loop now skips symlinked source dirs
so the connect-chrome repo symlink can't re-mint the duplicate.

Tests assert: installed aliases are NOT symlinks, carry their own unique
names, all installed frontmatter names are globally unique, re-runs refresh
cleanly, legacy symlinked aliases are replaced not written through, and the
source files stay byte-intact.

/**
* Alias name uniqueness (#2511 / #2201).
*
* setup installs two back-compat alias dirs — `_gstack-command` (root router)
* and `connect-chrome` (→ open-gstack-browser). Both used to symlink the
* canonical SKILL.md verbatim, so the alias carried the canonical frontmatter
* `name:`. Claude Code keys skills on that name and requires global
* uniqueness: the `connect-chrome` duplicate silently shadowed
* /open-gstack-browser (readdir-order roulette), and the `_gstack-command`
* duplicate could drop the ENTIRE personal-skills set.
*
* The fix is copy-then-rewrite: sed reads the SOURCE and writes a fresh copy
* with `name:` set to the alias dir's own name. Eng review E2 pinned the
* hazard this suite guards hardest: on Unix the old install path was a
* SYMLINK to the repo source, so an in-place sed through it would have
* corrupted the generated SKILL.md — the source files must stay byte-intact.
