testing should have caught this

presents when using

python -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/leondz/garak.git@main

but apparently not when using

python -m pip install garak==0.9.0.15

The packaging process likely replaces the symlink with a full read of the file during creation of the artifact to upload. The pip install process using a git reference will rely on the repository tree format being valid for the filesystem it is writing to.

fixed in #847

This is not addressed the crash was simply suppressed. Further change are still required to remove the symlink that is not supported by Windows repository checkout based install methods.
