TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a permissions error when trying to create symlinks, and running the command with elevated privileges or changing the directory permissions may resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Check the permissions of the directories involved in the symlink creation, specifically C:\\Users\\Jonat\\.claude\\projects\\C--Repositorios-sus-bck-utility-services and C:\\Users\\Jonat\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\claude\\C--Repositorios-sus-bck-utility-services\\tasks.
• Try running the command with elevated privileges using an administrator account or the runas command in Windows.
• Verify that the node:fs module is able to create symlinks in the specified directories by testing with a simple Node.js script.
• Consider changing the directory where the symlinks are being created to a location with more permissive permissions.

Example

const fs = require('fs');
try {
  fs.symlinkSync('source', 'destination');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

This example can be used to test the ability to create symlinks in a specific directory.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Windows platform, and the solution may involve changing the directory permissions or using a different approach to create the symlinks.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by running the command with elevated privileges or changing the directory permissions, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue.
