docs(install): the path bug is symlinks, not /var

Browse Source 
The comments and Agent Note blamed macOS resolving /var through
private/var. That is only how the mismatch surfaced in temp fixtures, since
mktemp hands back a /var path there.

The real condition is broader: Git always reports resolved paths, so
comparing one against an unresolved path disagrees whenever a symlink sits
anywhere above the checkout. A symlinked home directory alone triggers it —
reproduced with no /var involved — which is common wherever homes live
behind a symlink or on a network mount.

Naming the cause correctly keeps a reader from dismissing resolve_dir as
macOS-only defensiveness.

Adoption branches from `HEAD`, so committed work is what runs and uncommitted changes stay in the checkout. This is not prompted or warned about: the installer builds the layout and gets out of the way. Setting `DSH_SOURCE` to a different directory remains the one documented way to opt back into cloning a separate tree.
Every path comparison runs on physical paths through a `resolve_dir` helper, and every compared value is resolved at assignment rather than at the comparison. macOS resolves `/var` through a symlink to `/private/var`, so comparing a git-reported path against an unresolved one misclassified an existing managed install as a foreign clone and would have built a second container beside the real one. The same defect recurred twice more during review, both times as one side of a comparison left unresolved: a curl install's `REPO_ROOT`, and the container path it was compared against. `resolve_dir` therefore echoes a missing path back rather than failing, so a not-yet-created container needs no per-call fallback and no site can compare against an empty path by forgetting one; callers that need "does not exist" test the directory explicitly. `git rev-parse --path-format=absolute` would do the same job but requires git 2.31+.

Before `current` is repointed, the installer rejects a staging path that resolves to the repository itself, enforcing the upgrade contract that the launcher never resolves to the master clone.

接管以`HEAD`为分支起点，因此运行的是已提交的内容，未提交的更改仍留在检出中。这一点既不提示也不警告：安装器构建好布局后便不再打扰。把`DSH_SOURCE`设为其他目录，仍是唯一有文档记载的、回到克隆另一棵树的方式。
所有路径比较都通过`resolve_dir`辅助函数在物理路径上进行，且每个参与比较的值都在赋值时解析，而非在比较时解析。macOS 会把`/var`经符号链接解析为`/private/var`，因此拿 git 报告的路径与未解析的路径相比较，会把已有的受管安装误判为外来克隆，并在真正的容器旁再建一个容器。同一缺陷在评审过程中又出现了两次，两次都是比较的一侧未经解析：一次是 curl 安装的`REPO_ROOT`，一次是与之比较的容器路径。因此`resolve_dir`在路径不存在时原样回显该路径而非失败，这样尚未创建的容器无需在每个调用点单独兜底，也就没有调用点会因遗漏兜底而与空路径比较；需要判断"不存在"的调用方则显式检测该目录。`git rev-parse --path-format=absolute`能完成同样的工作，但要求 git 2.31 及以上版本。
所有路径比较都通过`resolve_dir`辅助函数在物理路径上进行，且每个参与比较的值都在赋值时解析，而非在比较时解析。git 报告的始终是已解析的路径，因此只要检出之上任意一层存在符号链接，拿它与未解析的路径相比较就会不相等——家目录本身是符号链接即已足够，而 macOS 通过`/var` -> `private/var`使每个`mktemp`路径都如此。这种不匹配会把已有的受管安装误判为外来克隆，并在真正的容器旁再建一个容器。同一缺陷在评审过程中又出现了两次，两次都是比较的一侧未经解析：一次是 curl 安装的`REPO_ROOT`，一次是与之比较的容器路径。因此`resolve_dir`在路径不存在时原样回显该路径而非失败，这样尚未创建的容器无需在每个调用点单独兜底，也就没有调用点会因遗漏兜底而与空路径比较；需要判断"不存在"的调用方则显式检测该目录。`git rev-parse --path-format=absolute`能完成同样的工作，但要求 git 2.31 及以上版本。
在重指`current`之前，安装器会拒绝解析结果等于仓库自身的 staging 路径，以此落实"启动器绝不解析到 master 克隆"这一升级契约。
