Reminder

I have read the above rules and searched the existing issues.

System Info

Description

archive/ktransformers/ktransformers is a symlink pointing to /home/djw/py311_717/ktransformers/ktransformers, an absolute path on a developer's local machine. This symlink is broken on any other machine.

Introduced by

PR #1581 (commit 57d14d2) — during the repository restructuring that moved legacy code into archive/. The symlink appears to have been an editable install or development convenience link on the original author's machine that was committed to git as-is.

Impact

Any tool that recursively copies or traverses the full repo tree (e.g. shutil.copytree, packaging tools, mirroring scripts) will fail with FileNotFoundError when it encounters this dangling symlink.
The current Dockerfile is unaffected because it does git clone --depth 1 and never references archive/ directly.

Reproduction

Good catch — this is indeed a leftover from the repository restructuring in PR #1581. We'll clean up this dangling symlink. Thanks for reporting!
