"""Regression: _resolve_allowed_personal_dir must resolve symlinks (realpath) when confining a path to PERSONAL_DIR. It used os.path.abspath, which normalises ``..`` but does NOT resolve symlinks, so a symlink placed inside PERSONAL_DIR pointing outside it passes the os.path.commonpath confinement check and lets index_personal_documents read files outside the root. os.path.realpath resolves the symlink before the check. _resolve_allowed_personal_dir is a closure inside setup_personal_routes, so the source-level test pins the fix and the behavioural test proves the underlying confinement principle.
