Description
Using LMS 3.5 on OSX 15.1 I changed my model directory to ~/Models and then followed the naming convention of 'Creator/ModelDir' but I used symbolic links for ModelDir and LMS wouldn't find the models until I moved the model directory. I did not test if hard links worked.

Research direction
Reproduce the report with LMS 3.5 on macOS 15.1, using a model path under ~/Models where ModelDir is a symbolic link. Trace the model-discovery entry point and compare linked and moved directories; done means models in the linked directory are found reliably.
