Research direction

No file or test path is named. Start by locating the three open mixins, including NonExistentChildMixin, SymbolicLoopMixin, and ExistingFileMixin, then find the scenario definitions covering relative paths and filesystem predicates. The listed combinations and gaps need to be separated into concrete issues, but the payload does not define completion criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

combine scenarios to the 3 openmixins
NonExistentChildMixin runs useless combinations
is_{dir,file,link} for nonexistent child + gnu realpath/readlink succeeds
SymbolicLoopMixin non-scenarios should run against all loop types
ExistingFileMixin
handle root in relativepaths
