  1. 🐛 fix: stop symlink resolution at stdlib landmark and framework builds ( 

    #87)

The resolution added in #84 follows every symlink hop of the executable.
pypa/virtualenv CI caught two unwanted consequences on its
`brew@3.12`/`brew@3.13` jobs: Homebrew's `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12`
resolves through the version-pinned `Cellar/python@3.12/<version>`
directory, so the recorded `home` breaks on `brew upgrade` and the base
site-packages shows up in created environments under a `Cellar` alias
that no longer matches the interpreter's own reported paths. 🐛 Stable
distro aliases such as Debian's `/usr/bin/python3` were also rewritten
to the versioned binary for no benefit.

Real `getpath` only follows the executable symlink while the stdlib
landmark is missing beside it, so the walk now stops as soon as
`<dir>/../lib(64)/pythonX.Y/os.py` is reachable, and macOS framework
builds skip resolution entirely since they self-locate through the real
binary via `dyld` at runtime. The pypa/virtualenv#3157 scenario, a
symlink in a directory with no installation around it, keeps resolving
to the real interpreter exactly as before, verified against both a
python-build-standalone interpreter and a Homebrew one where created
environments now match the pre-#84 layout byte for byte.

Fixes #86.
