Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added follow_symlinks parameter control to the link function for enhanced symlink handling.
Bug Fixes
- Improved error propagation in warnings functionality—errors are now properly reported instead of silently ignored.
Chores
- Refined internal error handling and resource management for improved stability.

_{✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review settings.}

- Use linkat() with AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW on Unix - Raise NotImplementedError on non-Unix when follow_symlinks=False - Register link in supports_follow_symlinks

- Replace manual exception creation with new_os_subtype_error in termios - Remove redundant .to_owned() calls in os.link() error messages

- Prevent closing underlying fd when stdio wrappers are dropped - Remove expectedFailure from test_fdopen in test_os.py

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates error handling and OS-specific function behavior across multiple stdlib modules. Changes include refactoring termios error construction to use a structured pattern, adding follow_symlinks parameter support to os.link with platform-specific implementations, propagating warning errors instead of silencing them, and adjusting file descriptor closure behavior for standard IO streams.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Error Construction Refactor `crates/stdlib/src/termios.rs`	Replaces generic exception creation with structured os_subtype_error pattern, updating parameter arrangement to supply OS-specific errno separately from error message.
OS Link Enhancement `crates/vm/src/stdlib/os.rs`	Adds follow_symlinks parameter to link function; implements platform-specific behavior using libc::linkat on Unix with flag control, and conditional NotImplementedError on non-Unix platforms when follow_symlinks is false. Updates support metadata to advertise conditional availability.
Error Propagation `crates/vm/src/stdlib/warnings.rs`	Changes warning error handling from ignored (let _ =) to propagated (?), allowing failures to contribute to PyResult flow.
File Descriptor Management `crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs`	Adds closefd: false to OpenArgs for standard IO wrappers to prevent closing underlying file descriptors on drop.

Poem

🐰 Errors now flow where once they were hushed,
Symlinks dance conditional, platform-blessed,
File descriptors cling to life as they should,
A refactored warren of errno so good! ✨
