<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>Some issues like <span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-7"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/gitlab_templates/issues/3422323" title="Status: Closed (fixed)">#3422323: Improve CSPELL</a></span> needed a workaround purely because we are using symlinks. This was done that way from the very beginning to build the project, but maybe there is a better way now.</p>
<p>For Drupal 7 we have copied the files when we actually need the symlinks.</p>

<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<ol>
<li>Fix Drupal 7 by creating the symlinks in the correct folder</li>
<li>Separately, investigate a re-usable code snippet to copy all files, which can be added just to the specifc jobs that need it</li>
</ol>
<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<p>Investigation, testing + MR</p>
