feat(agents-vault): add directory-only symlink helper

Enforces the rails the vault depends on: only directories are linked
(agent editing tools refuse to write through a symlinked file), a missing
target is refused rather than turned into a dangling link, and adopting a
populated live directory copies without clobbering.

Also fixes slug sanitization in _agents_repo_slug to apply the same
[^a-z0-9._-] → - mapping to the fallback (no-remote) branch, ensuring
local project slugs are filesystem-safe and won't leak special chars like
spaces or exclamation marks.

# SYNOPSIS
# _agents_repo_ensure_symlink <link> <target>
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Idempotently makes <link> a symlink pointing at the directory <target>.
#
# Only directories are ever linked. The agent file-editing tools resolve a
# symlinked directory transparently but refuse to write through a
# symlinked file, so linking a file would silently break every later edit;
# a non-directory target is refused outright.
#
# A missing target is refused rather than linked, because a dangling
# memory/ symlink makes agent memory writes fail -- strictly worse than
# having no backup at all.
#
# When <link> is an existing real directory, its contents are copied into
# <target> without clobbering (cp -n) before the directory is replaced by
# the link, so adopting a populated live directory never overwrites the
# copy already in the vault.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# link Path that should become the symlink
# target Existing directory the link should point at
#
# EXIT STATUS
# 0 Link is correct (created, repinned, or already right)
# 1 Refused (non-directory target, missing target, non-directory link) or
# a copy, remove, or link operation failed
#
# RETURNS
# A single "→ ..." progress line on stdout when something changed;
# nothing at all when the link was already correct.
#
# EXAMPLE
# _agents_repo_ensure_symlink ~/.claude/projects/-home-u-proj/memory \
# ~/.local/share/agent-vault/projects/host-user-proj/claude/memory
