A project path on the import graph is a symbolic link.

A file or directory on the import graph is a symbolic link. The build reads
only regular files inside the project, so the archive never depends on files
elsewhere on your machine.

## Wrong

```text
src/shared -> ../../other-game/src/shared   (symbolic link)
```

## Right

```text
src/shared/rules.ts   (a real copy inside the project)
```

Copy the files into the project instead of linking them.
