eldritch horrorsandjade b0d7a81613 fix tooling after include reorganization
clangd broke because it can't look through symlinks. compile_commands
manipulation does not fix it, clangd configuration does not fix it, a
vfs overlay does not fix it, and while a combination of those can fix
it with a bind mount in place that's just too cursed to even consider

clangd bug: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/116877
