Slash commands not recognized when .claude is a symlink

Environment:

• Claude Code version: [latest as of October 2025]
• OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
• Repository: Local git repository

Issue:
Slash commands are not being recognized when the .claude directory is a symlink.

Setup:
```bash
# Repository structure
.claude -> .agents/.claude # Symlink at repo root
.agents/.claude/commands/git-commit.md # Command file

The symlink is valid and files are accessible:
$ cat .claude/commands/git-commit.md # Works fine
$ ls -la .claude
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user staff 15 Oct 27 12:23 .claude -> .agents/.claude

Expected behavior:
Command files in .claude/commands/*.md should be recognized as slash commands and available via the SlashCommand tool, regardless of whether .claude is a symlink or regular directory.

Actual behavior:
No slash commands are detected. The SlashCommand tool shows no available custom commands.

Regression:
This configuration worked correctly before the most recent Claude Code upgrade, in version 2.0.25. It appears to be a regression introduced in the latest version.

Workaround:
Moving .claude to be an actual directory at the repo root instead of a symlink resolves the issue, but this breaks the existing
repository organization structure.
