Development record

.abcd/development/brief/04-surfaces/11-history.md:147-149 says --out is refused through a symlink at any level inside a checkout and that outside every checkout the path is the operator's own. A symlink as the last component of --out is refused outside a checkout too, exit 1, reporting that --out is not an existing directory (internal/surface/cli/history_reconstruct.go:118, fsutil.IsRealDir uses Lstat). A symlinked parent outside a checkout is followed, as the chapter says.
