//! Atomic file replacement via temp-file + rename.
//!
//! The temp file is always created in the **same directory** as the target so
//! the final `rename` stays on the same filesystem (required for atomicity on
//! POSIX; `MoveFileExW` handles same-volume atomic replace on Windows).
//!
//! # Symlink handling
//!
//! * **Unix**: if `path` is a symlink, we resolve it via `fs::canonicalize`
//!   and write to the resolved pointee. The symlink itself is preserved; its
//!   target file is replaced atomically. This matches what most tools expect
//!   when writing to a path that happens to be a link.
//! * **Windows**: symlinks are uncommon and require elevated privileges by
//!   default. Current behavior is preserved: `rename` replaces the link with
//!   a regular file. A `tracing::warn!` is emitted when this happens so the
//!   caller can notice.
//!
//! # Concurrent writers
//!
//! The temp path is uniquified per writer using pid + monotonic nanos so two
//! processes/threads writing to the same target cannot step on each other's
//! temp file. Each writer gets its own `<path>.tmp.<pid>.<nanos>`; the final
//! rename still wins atomically.
//!
//! # Crash safety
//!
//! * If a crash happens before `rename`, the original file (if any) is
//!   untouched. A partially written `.tmp.<pid>.<nanos>` may remain — callers
//!   may choose to clean it on the next open, but leaving it is safe.
//! * `rename` on an existing target is atomic on all supported platforms
//!   (Linux/macOS/Windows). Readers either see the old or new contents,
//!   never a mix.
