fix(apple): resolve absolute dylib paths inside the selected root

Preserve load-command paths as evidence while passing a separate root-relative lookup path to the bounded tree resolver. Apply the same containment rule to absolute install names and rpath bases, including caller-selected root symlink spellings.

Validation: 140 source tests, full check:ci, docs and runtime build passed. Compiler-built literal, rpath and relative fixtures passed CLI/stdio MCP parity, preserved both dependency edges and left all bytes unchanged. External system paths stayed outside-target; relative control was unchanged. Fixtures were not executed, and actual dyld execution was not qualified.

Closes #5637
