Research direction
Start by reading the migrated BPO issue and the historical PR python/cpython#14464, which is listed as the proposed implementation. The issue names no files or tests, so use that PR and its review history to determine the intended os.link and os.symlink helper scope. Done means the race-free wrappers are implemented and their behavior is covered by the project’s relevant tests.
