      "doNotFollowSymlinks: If true, do not follow symlinks; defaults to false.",
      "Stat.fileType: File type.",
      "Stat.name (required): File name.",
      "Stat.permissions (required): Permission bits.",
      "Docs conflict: The inspected official documentation is for Dagger v0.19.11, newer than the card's v0.19.9. The current API reference lists `fileType`, `name`, and `permissions` on `Stat`; it does not list a size field. This differs from the release note's example of status including size, so size is omitted."
