`collection add` does not follow symbolic links

[hassaans]

Problem

qmd collection add (and qmd update) does not traverse symbolic links when scanning for files. Collections whose root directory contains symlinked subdirectories silently skip all files behind those symlinks.

In my case, a collection rooted at a directory that contains symlinks to repos picks up only the 26 non-symlinked metadata files instead of the ~1,180 total files.

Root cause

fast-glob is called with followSymbolicLinks: false in qmd.js:

const allFiles = await fastGlob(globPattern, {
    cwd: resolvedPwd,
    onlyFiles: true,
    followSymbolicLinks: false,  // <-- here
    dot: false,
    ignore: excludeDirs.map(d => `**/${d}/**`),
});

Suggested fix

Either:

1. Default followSymbolicLinks to true, or
2. Make it configurable per-collection in index.yml (e.g. follow_symlinks: true)

Environment

• qmd 1.0.7
• macOS, Apple Silicon
