Wait for reload completion before creating the file.
SIGHUP reloads configuration asynchronously. sleep(0.5) can finish before the scanner applies the new path and completes its scan. The child creation event can then be missed intermittently.
Wait for an observable completion condition, such as an incremented scan metric, before creating file_via_link.
Based on learnings, avoid sleeps in automated testing when possible.

This fix only works if the pattern is explicitly landing on a symlink. Any other symlink that is found as part of a glob expansion will still not be followed. That means this fix suffers from the same short-comings I pointed out in #1655 (comment)
@robbycochran, @JoukoVirtanen, can we stop trying to blindly push code and have a discussion about what the actual problem is and how to address it first?

Description
Checks if the root of the glob path is a symlink and adds it to inode tracking if it is. This fixes a bug where the symlink's target directory inode isn't tracked.
Checklist
Automated testing
If any of these don't apply, please comment below.
Testing Performed
There is an integration test form @robbycochran. Unit tests were also added. CI is sufficient.
