Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 0d2f703f28 fix(browse): restrictDirectoryPermissions warns and skips symlinked dirs
Closes the Windows Free Tests red: recent lane failures showed a
platform-unguarded POSIX mode-bit assertion ('Expected: 493' — a
symlink-skip test) from PR-branch variants; the KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE
force-include reason ('mode-bitmask hits are POSIX-branch only') did
not hold for that shape, and main had neither the guard nor the
behavior.

- product: lstat first; a symlinked dir gets a warning and a skip on
  both platforms — chmod AND icacls dereference the link, so
  restricting through a symlink hardens an unvetted target (and
  /inheritance:r could lock out its real owner). All callers already
  treat hardening as best-effort (try/catch).
- test: the symlink regression test, platform-aware — symlinkSync in
  the house try/catch skip pattern (Windows runners without Developer
  Mode can't create symlinks), mode-bit assertion guarded off win32,
  behavior assertions (no throw, warning text, target readable)
  everywhere; POSIX still proves the skip (0o755 unchanged, not 0o700)
- KNOWN_WINDOWS_SAFE reason updated to the now-true premise

20/20 pass on Linux.

/**
* Unit tests for browse/src/file-permissions.ts
*
* Strategy:
* - POSIX assertions check fs.statSync.mode bits directly (cheap, reliable,
* runs on every CI config).
* - Windows assertions don't check ACLs (that'd require parsing icacls
* output, which is brittle across Windows versions / locales). Instead
* we verify the helper doesn't throw and the file ends up accessible
* to the current user — the "doesn't crash, file still usable"
* contract the callers rely on.
* - Every `mode & 0o777` bitmask assertion is platform-guarded: Windows
* fakes POSIX mode bits (chmod is ~a no-op; dirs stat as 0o777), so a
* bitmask expectation on win32 tests the runner, not our code. Symlink
* fixtures are created in try/catch — Windows runners without Developer
* Mode / admin can't create symlinks, and the test skips gracefully.
