//! Recoverable multi-file writes.
//!
//! Three primitives, used first by the user-scope skill installer and
//! reused by the repository apply. A lock serializes writers over one
//! record. A stage writes every intended byte beside its destination and
//! replaces it by rename. A journal names every destination before the
//! first replacement, so a run the process did not finish is rolled back by
//! the next invocation rather than left half-applied.
//!
//! What this guarantees, and what it does not. Each replacement is atomic
//! on its own; the set is not. A process that dies at any boundary of the
//! persistence order below leaves a journal, and the next invocation
//! restores every destination before it plans new work. Recovery after
//! power loss rests on that order and on the platform's `fsync` semantics,
//! and is claimed no further.
//!
//! The persistence order is fixed and the same for every domain. Every
//! backup copy is written and synced. The journal is written and synced,
//! and its directory synced. Each scratch file is written and synced, then
//! renamed over its destination, then the destination's directory synced.
//! Each journal state change is a rewrite through the same pair. The record
//! is replaced last. The journal is unlinked and its directory synced.
