The agy knowledge allowlist walked the store with `**` and copied with
plain cp, so a symlink inside the store was both followed and dereferenced.
The extension rule still bounded what kind of file was collected, but not
whose: a link to a home directory hands over settings.json, CLAUDE.md and
every cached .json in it, and those reached a commit. A link to / made the
walk itself unbounded, on the path that runs before every agent launch.
The tree is now walked a level at a time and nothing that is a symlink is
followed or copied.
Autopush had the same shape one layer out. Neither GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT nor
GIT_ASKPASS closes a socket, and git has no connect timeout to set: against
a blackholed address a push took 135s with http.lowSpeedLimit and
http.lowSpeedTime set as well as without them. ssh can time itself out and
is now told to; the autopush pull and push are additionally capped with
timeout(1). An explicit --push stays uncapped, since it is watched and has
to report what a real transfer really did.
Also: scaffold /.migrate-stash into .gitignore beside /.adopt-stash, which
the comment already claimed was covered; and drop the live memory path
during a slug migration only when it is a link. Reached from the
path-derived fallback candidate it can be a real populated directory, where
rm -f correctly refuses -- but said so in rm's voice, so a --silent run that
had succeeded printed what read as an error.
