Ports e58037c from release/1.0.0 (never back-merged). develop installed rtk via
cargo (~/.cargo/bin) and checked 'command -v rtk' in the installer shell that
sourced cargo env — so the check passed while Claude's tool shell never got the
PATH, dropping every compound rewrite (measured on release audit: 6/5070 commands
compressed over 30 days, ~460K tokens missed). Idempotent bridge symlink, self-
repairs a stale link, skips when no cargo binary. Resolves BLK-016 on develop. Review A3.
