Sweeping the target's directory from inside write_file_atomically() made
every settings export into a user's folder delete their own numbered
files that matched the older config temporary form, and cost a directory
walk per save. The helper writes its target and nothing else; the user
preset scan, the bundle metadata reads and AppConfig::load() sweep the
directories the application owns, once, while they hold the lock.
Replacing a file needs only a writable directory, so a preset or config
the user made read-only was overwritten where the in-place write used to
fail; such a target is refused before anything is written. The CLI's
load_if_exists() takes no lock and creates no lock file, since the CLI
never saves. The lock guard holds the slot mutex through a unique_lock,
so an exception during construction cannot leave the slot locked for
good, and it counts its entry last so a throw leaves the slot as found;
the cool-down after a failed open is set where the failure is seen.
The cloud agent's sync state and secret fallback file and the 3DPrinterOS
session file wrote through a fixed ".tmp" name with a non-Unicode stream;
they call the helper. The vendor cache failure test makes the cache
read-only, which the helper refuses on every platform, and the utility
tests carry the PascalCase tag the test rules ask for.
