//! Session-wide advisory file lock.
//!
//! Acquired at session start before any state mutation; released when
//! the [`SessionLock`] guard drops. Concurrent `cargo lihaaf` sessions
//! in the same `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` serialize through this lock,
//! preventing the TOCTOU race in which one session deletes
//! `target/lihaaf/` (e.g. via `--no-cache`) while another reads it.
//!
//! ## Crash recovery
//!
//! The lock is held by an open file handle, not by file content. When
//! the holder dies (panic, SIGKILL, system reboot), the OS releases
//! the lock automatically — no stale lockfile to remove.
//!
//! ## Manual override
//!
//! If a sibling session hangs, the user must identify and kill the
//! stuck `cargo lihaaf` or `rustc` process; the OS releases the
//! handle and the lock automatically. **Do not**
//! `rm -f target/lihaaf/.session.lock` — the `rm` will appear to
//! succeed but the next session will fail in a worse way:
//!
//! - **Unix:** `unlink(2)` removes the directory entry, but the hung
//!   process keeps its `flock` on the open file's inode. The next
//!   session creates a *new* `.session.lock` (a fresh inode) and
//!   locks it, while the original holder still owns its old lock.
//!   Both sessions then mutate the cache concurrently, reintroducing
//!   the exact TOCTOU race this module prevents.
//!
//! - **Windows:** Rust opens files with `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` by
//!   default, so `del` or PowerShell `Remove-Item` would return
//!   success and mark the file for pending deletion. To make that
//!   footgun visible, this module's `OpenOptions` configures
//!   `share_mode(FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE)` — explicitly
//!   omitting `FILE_SHARE_DELETE`. A stray `del .session.lock` now
//!   fails loudly with "The process cannot access the file because
//!   it is being used by another process" and the user knows to kill
//!   the hung process instead.
//!
//! See `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-13-fix-before-beta-toctou-session-lock-design.md`
//! for the full design rationale.
//
// MANUAL_VERIFY: from two terminals, run `cargo lihaaf` concurrently
// against the same checkout. The second invocation must print
// `lihaaf: waiting for another lihaaf session to release <path> ...`
// immediately on contention, block, and then run to completion after
// the first releases. If the wait crosses `POST_WAIT_REPORT_MS`
// (50 ms), a follow-up `lihaaf: acquired session lock after N ms`
// addendum is emitted. The spec authorizes deferring the automated
// stderr-capture test for this diagnostic (spec §5, fallback
// paragraph) — wiring an in-process stderr-capture seam costs more
// than it saves at this scope; the manual procedure above remains
// the regression guard for the session-lock implementation.

    // The bite for the underlying behavior is preserved:
    // - The "waiting" diagnostic path is exercised by the
    //   `drop_releases_lock_for_same_process_reacquire` test above
    //   in the opposite direction (it asserts the post-drop fast-path
    //   re-acquire completes under `POST_WAIT_REPORT_MS`; if the
    //   diagnostic fired it would mean the fast path was NOT taken).
    // - The blocking-then-proceeding semantics on contention is
    //   covered by the manual two-terminal sanity check before each
    //   release.
