Pull request overview
This pull request fixes broken executables in the Python bin directory by reworking the alias linking mechanism to ensure hard links are only created within the bin directory itself, rather than linking to files in the Python installation directory.
Changes:
- Modified alias creation logic to search for existing launchers within the bin directory for hard linking instead of linking directly to installation directory files
- Added support for the
forceflag to unconditionally recreate aliases - Updated test expectations to reflect new debug log messages
