//! Atomic rename primitive.
//!
//! Every rename must use a primitive that refuses to overwrite an
//! existing target. `std::fs::rename` is avoided directly because it
//! silently overwrites on Unix.
//!
//! Platform implementations:
//!
//! - Linux (kernel ≥ 3.15): `renameat2(RENAME_NOREPLACE)` - kernel-enforced
//!   atomicity; no TOCTOU window.
//! - All other platforms: explicit pre-check `to.exists()`, then
//!   `std::fs::rename`. Has a small TOCTOU window but acceptable for a
//!   single-user CLI with no concurrent writers.
//!
//! Stronger primitives for non-Linux platforms:
//! - macOS: `renamex_np(RENAME_EXCL)` (10.12+) or `link(2)`+`unlink(2)`.
//! - Windows: `MoveFileExW` without `MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING`.
