Hi as mentioned in the talk, fs.stat watches the symlinks, while fs.lstat looks at the symlinks themselves. For this reason, it is recommended to use fs.lstat in cases where symlinks themselves need to be looked at. Based on this information I added that you should use fs.stat or fs.lstat depending on the type of file

Fixes: #47633
