The foreign-owner refusal note decides whether the working directory's .abcd is read with os.Stat, which follows a symlinked cwd/.abcd, while readRepoLayer Lstat-refuses a symlinked .abcd; in that edge the note tells the user the working directory's configuration IS read when the loader refuses it. Use Lstat plus IsDir so the note and the loader agree.

Grounds

• pursued: a refused root with a symlinked .abcd at the working directory gets a note saying NOT read, pinned by TestResolveRootRefusalNeverSaysASymlinkedAbcdIsRead; a note saying IS read for a .abcd that Load refuses would show it wrong
