Stop shipping broken agent-skill symlinks in the source release - #73107

Conversation
Excluding .agents from the source tarball (apache#68851) left .claude behind. Everything under .claude/skills is a relay symlink into .agents/skills, so export-ignore strips the targets while the links themselves still ship: unpacking the source release yields broken symlinks, and .claude/ arrives holding nothing but those dead links. Found while verifying 3.3.2rc1, whose tarball carries five of them. The released 3.3.1 carries the same ones, so this is long-standing rather than something a recent change introduced. .github needs no equivalent entry: its own skills relays are already covered by the existing .github export-ignore.

.claude/skillsis a relay symlink into.agents/skills..agentsisexport-ignored (added in #68851) but.claudewas not, sogit archivestrips the targets and ships the links: unpacking the sourcerelease gives you broken symlinks, and
.claude/arrives containing nothingbut those dead links.
Adding

.githubneeds no equivalent entry — its ownskillsrelays are alreadycovered by the existing
.github export-ignore.Not a blocker for 3.3.2
Found while verifying 3.3.2rc1, whose source tarball carries five of these.
This is explicitly non-blocking for the release in flight. The same
dangling links are in the already-released 3.3.1, so it is long-standing
rather than a regression, and it breaks no part of the build. If an rc2
happens for other reasons this could ride along; it does not justify one on
its own.
