 The decision logic here is deliberately pure — it works on ``{relpath: text}``
 maps, not the filesystem — so it stays trivially testable. ``read_tree`` is the
 only filesystem touch and is a thin adapter.

+title: heal removed symlinks boost never created
+---
+<b><code>boost heal</code> deleted a symlink boost did not make, does not track, and has no claim
+to.</b> Reproduced against a sandbox: plant
+<code>~/.claude/skills/my-own-skill&nbsp;&rarr;&nbsp;~/elsewhere/my-own-skill</code>, run
+<code>boost heal</code>, and it reports <i>"removed broken link ~/.claude/skills/my-own-skill"</i>.
+Same scenario on the fixed build leaves it exactly where it was.
+
+<b>A broken link is not the same as garbage.</b> <code>~/.claude/skills/</code> is the user's own
+directory that boost happens to link into. A dangling entry there can be a skill on an unmounted
+volume, a repo checked out somewhere else for the afternoon, or a link into a detached drive
+&mdash; all of which come back. Removing one is not a repair; it is data loss under a reassuring
+name, from a command whose entire promise is that it is safe to run.
+
+<b>Ownership is legible from the link itself.</b> Every link boost creates points into the canonical
+store, <code>~/.agents/skills/&lt;name&gt;</code>. Reading the target beats consulting the lock,
+because the two moments a dangling link is most likely to exist &mdash; a skill uninstalled
+mid-sweep, a lock file that has gone missing &mdash; are exactly the moments the lock cannot answer.
+Links into the store are swept; everything else is <i>named</i> and left alone, because the user
+should still know it is dangling.
+
+<b>The scan was also looking somewhere it has no business.</b> <code>_broken_links</code> iterated
+<code>agents.enabled_agents()</code>, which includes Gemini &mdash; and boost never links into
+<code>~/.gemini/skills</code> at all, because Gemini CLI reads the canonical store directly.
+CLAUDE.md states the rule outright: iterate <code>linking_agents()</code> "for anything
+symlink-shaped (link, unlink, stale-link sweeps, coverage counts)". The <i>same function</i> already
+had it right eleven lines further down, where <code>cmd_heal</code> builds its list of missing
+directories and comments on precisely this distinction.
+
+<b>A macOS-only trap sat inside the fix.</b> The first attempt compared
+<code>store_dir().resolve()</code> against a normalised link target &mdash; resolving the side that
+exists and not the side that does not. On macOS <code>/tmp</code> is itself a symlink to
+<code>/private/tmp</code>, so a genuine boost link read as foreign and <code>heal</code> declined to
+repair anything at all. Both sides are now resolved down to their deepest real ancestor, which is
+the only comparison that is correct when one path is dangling by definition.
+
+<b><code>doctor</code> reports it without going red.</b> A foreign broken link is printed as
+information, not counted as an issue: <code>heal</code> deliberately will not fix it, so counting it
+would leave <code>doctor</code> permanently red on something no boost command can clear &mdash;
+which is how a health check stops being read. Two tests pin the behaviour and both fail with the
+ownership check reverted.
