OK, now I understand what behavior you want.
The sshfs changelog has
* add contain_symlinks option to prevent symlink escape attacks
(CVE-2026-47187) (Closes: #1138293)
The man page says this is enabled by default. So, I think what you want
to do is turn this off.
-o no_contain_symlinks
disable symlink containment and allow all symlink targets through
unchanged, including absolute paths and paths containing ...
Only use this with fully trusted servers.
I believe that'll do what you want.
