//! Crash-safe file replacement: the one way PhotoCraft writes a document to disk.
//!
//! [`atomic_write`] never truncates the destination. It writes a temporary file in the **same
//! directory**, flushes it to stable storage (`sync_all`), renames it over the destination and,
//! on Unix, fsyncs the directory so the rename itself survives a power loss. If anything fails,
//! the destination keeps its previous bytes and the temporary file is removed.
//!
//! - **Windows:** antivirus scanners and the search indexer briefly hold files open, which makes
//!   the replacing rename fail with `PermissionDenied`. The rename is retried with exponential
//!   backoff before giving up. (`std::fs::rename` uses `MoveFileExW(MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING)`,
//!   i.e. replace semantics.)
//! - **Cross-device (`EXDEV`):** cannot happen while the temporary file sits beside the target;
//!   if it does anyway, the save fails with a clear error. It never falls back to writing the
//!   destination in place.
//! - **Unwritable folder:** the save fails with a clear error instead of writing in place.
//! - **Read-only file:** the save is refused before anything is written (#6600). A rename only
//!   needs the folder to be writable, so without this check Linux and macOS would silently replace
//!   a `chmod 444` file while Windows refuses; now every platform refuses, as Photoshop does, and
//!   the user saves a copy with Save As.
//! - **Network shares (macOS):** `sync_all` asks for a full flush to the disk's platters
//!   (`F_FULLFSYNC`), which SMB shares and some virtual file systems refuse while a plain `fsync`
//!   works. [`sync_file`] falls back to the plain one there (#1336).
//!
//! On the web there is no file system: writes go through the platform services (downloads), so
//! this module is never reached there; on `wasm32` every call returns the `std` "unsupported"
//! error.
//!
//! Replacing a file also carries its metadata across — permission bits, extended attributes,
//! the "downloaded from the internet" mark and the access-control list — so that saving a
//! document does not quietly undo a security decision someone made about the file. That part is
//! [`meta`], and it is best effort: it never fails a save and never touches the bytes.
//!
//! [`atomic_write_with`] takes an [`AtomicFs`] so tests can inject failures at each step.
