//! Platform-aware crash-durability primitives.
//!
//! Two flush operations need OS-specific handling to make a write survive a
//! crash / power loss:
//!
//! - [`dir`] — fsync a directory so a prior `rename(2)` into it is durable.
//!   After a crash a renamed file's dirent can otherwise be lost even though
//!   the rename returned, because it is still page-cache-only. This is a POSIX
//!   concept: on Windows std cannot even open a directory as a `File` (it does
//!   not set `FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS`), and NTFS/ReFS commit the rename's
//!   dirent without an explicit directory flush — so it is a no-op there
//!   rather than a failed open that logs on every marker write.
//!
//! - [`file_durable`] — fsync a file's contents + metadata. Opens the file
//!   **read+write**: on Windows `File::sync_all` maps to `FlushFileBuffers`,
//!   which requires a handle with write access and returns
//!   `ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED` (os error 5) on a read-only handle. (A read-only
//!   `File::open` + `sync_all` is legal on POSIX, which is why that bug only
//!   bit Windows.) The open mode is platform-uniform, so this lives here with
//!   no dispatch.
//!
//! Per the crate convention (see [`crate::io::writeback_file`]), platform
//! dispatch happens once here via cfg-gated `mod` decls — callers carry no
//! inline `#[cfg(...)]`.
