//! Atomic file writes.
//!
//! Plain `fs::write` truncates the target to zero length and then writes the
//! new contents in place. A crash / kill / disk-full between those two steps
//! leaves the file empty or half-written — catastrophic for session,
//! checkpoint, and plugin-lockfile state that is rewritten in full on every
//! save. [`write_atomic`] writes to a temp sibling, fsyncs it, then renames over
//! the target, so a reader always sees either the old complete file or the new
//! complete file.
