Subject: [PATCH] Fix dev_environment.py Windows compatibility for symlink
 handling

Git checkout with glob patterns (*.ifc) doesn't work on Windows.
This change:
- Expands glob via git ls-files and checks out files individually
- Skips symlink recreation if they already exist and are valid
- Refreshes git index before checkout to recognize deleted files
