fix: write RFL_DB.dat and rksys.dat atomically - #310
Conversation
Both save files were rewritten in place, so an interrupted write left a truncated file and lost all Miis or all licenses. Writes now go through a temp file that is flushed and swapped in with File.Replace, keeping a .bak. Also refuse to save rksys.dat when the buffer is not exactly RksysSize.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds atomic byte-file writing with temporary and backup files. Game license and Mii database persistence now use this helper. Tests cover creation, replacement, backup preservation, failure handling, and temporary-file cleanup. ChangesAtomic persistence
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Concurrent Mii or license saves can interfere through the shared temporary file, causing the wrong data to be persisted or a save to fail. The temporary path must be unique per write before this PR is merge-ready. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Use a unique temporary path for each write.
Line 45 gives every write to the same destination one shared .tmp path. If two saves overlap, the second File.Create(tempPath) can truncate and replace the first operation's staged bytes. The first operation can then return success after File.Replace installs the second operation's bytes, while the second operation fails because its temporary file was consumed.
Generate a unique temporary name per operation. Clean up that operation's temporary file on failure. Add a concurrent-write test that verifies each successful call writes its own payload.
Proposed change
- var tempPath = filePath + TempExtension;
+ var tempPath = $"{filePath}.{System.Guid.NewGuid():N}{TempExtension}";📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Purpose
RFL_DB.dat and rksys.dat were rewritten in place on every Mii edit / license change, so a crash or full disk mid-write left a truncated file and lost all Miis or all four licenses.
What Changed
New
IFileSystem.WriteAllBytesAtomichelper writes to a.tmp, flushes it, then swaps it in withFile.Replacekeeping a.bak(plain move when the file is new).MiiRepositoryServiceandSaveRksysToFilenow use it, and rksys.dat is no longer written at all when the buffer is not exactlyRksysSize.How to Test
Edit/rename a Mii and rename a license; both save correctly and leave a
.baknext to the file, no.tmpleftovers.dotnet testpasses (177 tests, 3 new).Summary by CodeRabbit
