chore: remove accidental self-referential node_modules symlink

[JSONbored]

Problem

A node_modules symlink pointing at its own absolute path (/Users/.../gittensory/node_modules) was accidentally committed in #680 (mode 120000). It shadows the real install with a circular link, so node_modules/.bin/* resolution fails on a fresh checkout with too many levels of symbolic links — breaking local tsc/vitest until the symlink is cleared by hand.

CI is unaffected because npm ci removes node_modules before installing, which masked the issue.

Fix

git rm --cached node_modules — untrack the symlink blob. The directory is already covered by .gitignore (node_modules/), so the real install stays ignored. No source, runtime, or deploy impact.

Verification

• git ls-tree HEAD node_modules → empty (no longer tracked)
• Real node_modules/.bin/tsc present and functional; npm run typecheck clean

Reviewed 1 changed file(s) — two independent AI reviewers.

Suggested action: ✅ Safe to merge — both reviewers found no blocking issues.

Reviewer A · gpt-oss-120b — recommends ✅ merge
This PR removes an accidental self‑referential node_modules symlink file from the repo root, cleaning up a potential source of recursive path issues. The change is isolated, has no code modifications, and poses minimal risk.

Suggestions

• Run the CI test suite after merging to confirm no build steps unexpectedly relied on the removed symlink.

Worth double-checking

• If any custom scripts or tooling referenced the stray symlink, they may now fail.

Reviewer B · nemotron-3-120b-a12b — recommends ✅ merge
The PR removes an accidentally committed node_modules symlink that pointed to a local absolute path. This is a safe housekeeping change as node_modules should never be committed to version control. The change is minor, low-risk, and aligns with standard repository hygiene.

No blocking issues spotted.
