 ## 9. Source Lookup Test Compares Canonical Paths With Symlinked Fixture Paths

+Priority: P2. Status: complete. This is a test portability defect, not a production
 source-lookup defect.
 
+Completion: `TestResultSourceLookup` canonicalizes its fixture directory with
+`filepath.EvalSymlinks` before creating files, preserving all source-attribution,
+redaction, and detachment assertions. The focused test failed with a symlinked
+temporary root before the fix. Both source-lookup tests now pass with `TMPDIR`
+pointing to either the real directory or its symlink. The everyday
+`./scripts/check.sh` also passed. Production code and behavior are unchanged.
