Bug: Permission prompt shows incorrect file path on Windows with junction points

What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code on Windows with NTFS junction points, the permission prompt displays the junction path instead of the resolved real path. The user approves writing to what appears to be inside the project, but the actual write goes to a different location outside the working directory.

What Should Happen?

The permission prompt should resolve junction points and show the real destination path before asking for approval.
