Subject: [PATCH v2] t1300: use test helpers instead of shell primitives

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2026 09:46:55 +0000

From: Pushkar Singh <[email-masked]>

Replace plain "test -f" (regular file checks) with "test_path_is_file" and "test -h"
(symbolic link checks) with "test_path_is_symlink". The test framework helpers
provide clearer diagnostics and better consistency across the test suite.

	- test -f checks regular files
	- test -h checks symbolic links
