/**
* Tests for writeJsonFileAtomic's crash-safe semantics.
*
* Per CodeRabbit on PR #2281: the prior implementation was a single
* writeFileSync call that could leave a truncated/corrupt file on a mid-write
* crash — relevant because callers include disableClaudeAutoMemory's write to
* ~/.claude/settings.json (a user-owned global config).
*
* The new implementation uses temp file + fsync + rename. These tests verify
* that contract.
