<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21045|#21045 Files encompassed as part of `output_directories` can be hard links without write permissions>
Issue created by <https://github.com/ndellosa95|ndellosa95>
*Describe the bug*  
Files larger than 512kb are stored in the fsdb and populated into digests via hard links, which do not include write permissions. If the file is included in `output_files`, the file contents will be copied and the resulting file will have write permissions. However, this does not work if the file is only encompassed as part of `output_directories`.
