+/// - Linux: mode-on-symlink is not supported by the kernel; either skip
+///   silently or gate behind `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]` with a `warn!`.
+/// - Windows: open the reparse point via `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT` and
+///   apply ACL/security info with `SetSecurityInfo` on that handle; mode is
+///   expressed via the Windows security descriptor, not `chmod`.
+/// - ACL restoration must pass `follow_links = false` into `restore_acls`.
