Description
When I was trying to get live_update to work with Bazel, it was getting confused with where the binary live due to symlink directories in the binary path.
There's probably a Tilt bug here, I just need to isolate a repro case

Research direction
Start by reproducing live_update with a Bazel-built binary whose path contains symlink directories. Trace how the live-updater resolves the binary path and isolate a minimal failing case; done means the repro is documented and the symlink-related behavior is understood well enough to identify the affected code path.
