Merge origin/main into fix/tunnel-traversal (conflict-only)

Conflict in ingestion/internal/brainfs/brainfs_test.go only: both sides
appended a test after TestReadRegularNeverReturnsAnInBrainFileSwappedInBehindASymlink
(this branch: TestWriteRegularRefusesFinalSymlinksFIFOsEscapesAndMissingFilesAndRewritesRegularFiles;
main: TestReadDirDirsListsOnlyRealSubdirsAndRefusesSymlinkedComponents).
Kept both, unchanged. No production code touched by the resolution.
