Embedded package folders under Packages/ are now symlinked to the original project, so changes are immediately shared between the original and clone. Root-level files (manifest.json, packages-lock.json) are still copied. Integrity validation is updated to only check these root-level files since symlinked folders don't need syncing.

Summary
Packages/are now symlinked instead of copied when cloning a projectmanifest.json,packages-lock.json, etc.) are still copied as beforeMotivation
When developing local/embedded packages directly under
Packages/, the current behavior of copying the entire directory means changes in the clone are not reflected in the original project and vice versa. By symlinking the subdirectories, embedded packages are shared between the original and clone, which is essential for library development workflows.Test plan
