Summary

  • make macOS link workflows fall back to copy mode only for files rooted under ~/Library
  • keep symlink behavior for other files so dotfiles and non-Library config paths still get live-link semantics
  • add regression coverage for macOS link install, link, and link uninstall dispatch behavior

Why

macOS Sonoma and later break preferences when ~/Library files are symlinked, but falling back to copy mode for every path removes the main benefit of link mode for dotfiles and other non-Library config.

Validation

  • uv run ruff check
  • uv run pytest
