+/**
+ * Protected-paths policy composition. Mirrors the bash semantics in
+ * `hooks/_lib/protected-paths.sh` byte-for-byte:
+ *
+ *   1. Build the effective protected set:
+ *      - If policy.protected_writes is set: that list, plus kill-switch
+ *        invariants always added.
+ *      - Else: the historical default (REA_PROTECTED_PATTERNS_FULL).
+ *      Then subtract policy.protected_paths_relax — but kill-switch
+ *      invariants in the relax list are silently dropped from the
+ *      relax set with a stderr advisory (not from the protected set).
+ *
+ *   2. The match check:
+ *      a. Explicit `protected_writes` overrides win FIRST (helix-020 G2).
+ *         Matched against the path BEFORE the extension-surface check.
+ *      b. Extension-surface paths (`.husky/{commit-msg,pre-push,
+ *         pre-commit}.d/<fragment>`) are NOT protected by default
+ *         (helix-018 Option B / 0.16.4).
+ *      c. Default protected list applies, with kill-switch invariants
+ *         always enforced.
+ *
+ *   3. Pattern matching:
+ *      - case-insensitive (macOS APFS — helix-015 #2)
+ *      - trailing `/` is a prefix-match
+ *      - everything else is exact-match
+ *
+ *   4. Path normalization runs BEFORE matching:
+ *      - URL decode, backslash → slash, leading `./` strip
+ *      - `..` walk-up via the parser-friendly equivalent of
+ *        `cd -P / pwd -P` (we rely on `node:fs.realpathSync` for the
+ *        symlink resolution; non-existent parents walk up to the
+ *        nearest existing ancestor — helix-022 #1)
+ *      - case-insensitive lowercase comparison
+ *      - sentinel `__rea_unresolved_expansion__` for $-substitution
+ *      - sentinel `__rea_outside_root__` for paths escaping REA_ROOT

+ *
+ * Codex round 1 F-2: dangling symlinks. `fs.existsSync` follows the
+ * symlink — if the target is missing, it returns FALSE, so the leaf
+ * (which IS a real link in the directory) gets walked PAST and
+ * re-attached unresolved. Pre-fix `ln -s .rea/HALT innocent_link;
+ * printf x > innocent_link` was allowed because innocent_link's
+ * realpath wasn't computed (the link target didn't exist YET). The
+ * write would create .rea/HALT.
+ *
+ * Fix: at each level, also check `lstatSync` — if the entry exists
+ * as a symlink (whether or not the target resolves), follow it via
+ * `readlinkSync` and re-resolve. This catches dangling and broken
+ * links by their LINK content, not their target's existence.
+ *
+ * Codex round 2 R2-2: prior recursion had no cycle guard or depth cap.
+ * A symlink loop `a → b → a` against a protected target caused unbounded
+ * recursion (Node would eventually stack-overflow but the path-of-least-
+ * resistance failure was a long hang). Even non-cyclic deep chains could
+ * stress the resolver. We now thread a `visited` Set + `depth` counter
+ * through every recursive call. On cycle detection or depth-cap hit we
+ * return a sentinel that the caller maps to `dynamic: true` so the
