Closes #41887

Also this improves the AI agent compatibility with symlinks. While before the agent would have to use bash commands to edit files, it now can use the usual edit calls, if the symlinks were expanded before.

Thanks @AndreRoelofs 🙏

Built this and running this now instead of stable, I can't live without symlinks 😄

No problem. It's also why you see so many merge branch updates, I use it as my main myself haha
