Open findings: none Change walkthroughChange walkthroughThis PR makes Composer bundle assembly work on Windows without requiring the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, which normal user accounts lack. Directory links in bundles are now created as NTFS junctions (no privilege needed), file links remain symlinks and get an actionable error naming the missing privilege, and copying/archiving logic was adjusted so junctions survive the pipeline as links rather than being dereferenced or rewritten as privileged symlinks. The delta since the last reviewed commit is small and documentation-focused:

WalkthroughThe change adds platform-aware bundle-link planning and creation. Windows tree copying recreates links and re-anchors absolute in-bundle targets. Node assembly uses the shared link APIs, and Next.js checks now process absolute link targets. Artifact packaging converts absolute in-bundle symlink targets to relative paths. Tests cover link types, assembly output, copied trees, and archive equivalence. Priority: ➖ Normal Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A Windows tree copy may fail when a link replaces a pre-existing directory. The affected caller’s destination lifecycle is unclear, so this is a bounded build risk to account for before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Windows only lets a user holding SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege (Developer Mode, or an elevated shell) create a symbolic link; everyone else gets EPERM. Assembly created 'dir' and 'file' symlinks directly, and copied trees with fs.cp, which re-creates every link with an untyped fs.symlink that Node resolves to the same privileged call. GitHub's Windows runners are elevated, so CI never saw it. The platform decision now lives in one helper. planBundleLink / createBundleLink write a directory link as a junction on Windows, for every user, so privileged and unprivileged machines assemble the same bundle; the junction's absolute target is resolved here rather than left to the runtime. A file link stays a file symlink: a junction cannot point at a file, and a copy or hard link would archive as a regular file, which is the dereferencing ADR-0047 forbids. When Windows refuses one, the error names the privilege instead of surfacing a bare EPERM; nothing is retried. copyTreeVerbatim keeps fs.cp on POSIX and uses its own walk on Windows, with links routed through the helper. readlink reports a junction's target as an absolute path, so an absolute target inside the copied tree is re-anchored to the same place in the destination instead of pointing back into the source. A link whose target is absent cannot be typed and is written as a junction; repairWindowsDirectorySymlinks re-types it once staging has supplied the target. The Windows paths run on every platform through a platform test seam, with an absolute symlink standing in for a junction; the junction assertions themselves run on the windows-latest job.

The node adapter linked traced dependencies with fs.symlink(..., 'dir' | 'file'), the call a default Windows user is refused. It now asks createBundleLink, so a pnpm-shaped node_modules is staged with junctions on Windows and exactly as before on POSIX, with no platform branch at the call site. The nextjs adapter already copied through copyTreeVerbatim. Its repair of link targets Next omitted skipped every absolute target, which on Windows is now every directory link: a junction can only record an absolute path. The repair considers any target that resolves inside the bundle, however the link spells it; targets outside the bundle are still left alone. Link assertions that compared the raw readlink string now compare where the link points relative to its directory, which holds for a relative symlink and a junction alike. Windows-only tests assemble fixtures linked with junctions, as pnpm writes them, and assert that no directory symlink is ever requested.

…ds for The packager already rewrote an absolute in-bundle target to a relative one, but derived it from the fully resolved target. For a link chain (alias -> pkg -> store) that archives alias -> store, where a POSIX bundle's relative link archives alias -> pkg: the same app produced a different artifact hash depending on how its links were spelled. That spelling is now platform-determined — a Windows directory link is a junction, which always reads back absolute — so an absolute target that names a path under the bundle as given is relativised literally, keeping the chain. Any other spelling (an alias outside the bundle) is still re-derived from the resolved target, and both remain behind the realpath containment check and the lexical re-check. Tests hold a bundle linked absolutely, and one linked by createBundleLink, to the same link entries and the same sha256 as the relative bundle; on windows-latest the latter compares junctions against symlinks.

A Windows user no longer needs Developer Mode or an elevated shell for a build output whose links are directory links, and gets the same artifact a POSIX deploy produces. A symlink to a file is the remaining case that needs the privilege; the guide and the packaged skill name it so the assembly error is not misread as a broken deploy.

Review found the comments, docs and tests around the junction fix heavier than the change warrants. Doc blocks now state only the non-obvious why; the guide and skill additions are reverted, since no check requires them and the behaviour needs no action from a user; and the tests keep one case per code path: the planBundleLink contract, the privilege error, the Windows copy through the platform seam (with re-anchoring, link replacement and re-typing folded in), the two real-junction Windows tests, one Windows assemble test per adapter, and one archive-equivalence test. No production behaviour changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Aman Varshney <amanvarshney.work@gmail.com>

Closing because merged PR #319 covers this Windows assembly fix. |
Why
Windows directory symlinks can fail with EPERM when the user lacks SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege. Composer assembly must keep links as links, so copying or dereferencing the target is not an acceptable fix.
Change
@internal/bundle-paths. Windows directory links use junctions; file links remain symlinks and report an actionable privilege error.fs.cprecreating privileged directory symlinks on Windows. Re-anchor junctions whose targets are inside the copied tree.Verification
Based on Composer main at
60f1b527(0.21.0). Local build, typecheck, lint, lint:deps, lint:casts, and focused bundle-paths, Node, Next.js, and lowering tests pass. All commits are signed off. Normal Windows CI passed on the clean branch, including the changed-package Windows tests. All required checks and the fresh Gizmo review passed.The Windows runner tests junction creation, copying, and assembly, but it is elevated. I attempted a separate restricted-user probe; the hosted runner could not launch the probe process, so non-admin end-to-end behavior is not yet verified. The temporary probe and workflow changes are not part of this PR. File symlinks still require Windows symlink privilege.
Follow-up
#272 is stacked on this PR and handles Next.js absolute standalone link targets. After this lands, retarget #272 to main and rerun CI.
