fix(compiler-cli): ignore non-existent files

SyamGadde · kirjs · commit 1628125bcbc2 · 2025-11-21T11:38:57.000-05:00
Ignore files that fail fs.exists() rather than throw ENOENT.  Some applications deliberately create "broken" symbolic links that are not relevant to compilation (e.g. emacs lock files that link to owner "user@host").
