Explanation
Issue
#2380requires authorized updates todev-binary.json,channel.json,main/, andtools/goto reach the selected permission mode's ordinary checks. The runtime change allows only these updater destinations after canonical-path and shared-inode checks. It continues to protect permission settings, guardrails, aliases, ancestors, and other config-home state. The runtime and production-hook tests cover allowed updates, Auto denials, protected files, and hardlink and symlink cases.

- Around line 368-389: Update protectedMutation to detect a dangling symlink at
the requested write or edit path before canonicalization and before applying
updater exemptions; reject that mutation while preserving existing handling for
other paths. Add a regression test for a dangling updater link targeting an
absent policy file.

Add coverage for dangling ctx.cwd.
The added dangling-symlink test blocks updater aliases in guard; it does not call AutoPermissionRuntime.check with a dangling ctx.cwd and a relative operand that produces evidence paths. Add a regression test for this path. Assert that the supported hook boundary blocks the action and does not execute it.
The production hook already catches the canonicalization exception and returns a blocked result. The test requirement does not establish a need to add a second blocked-result path inside check.

No installed package or live permission configuration was changed to test this patch. Existing external hardlink/TOCTOU limitations remain outside this work unit; this hook is not an OS sandbox.
