Explanation
Issue [
#233] requires preserving the existing configuration when a save fails. The writable-directory path writes to a temporary file and renames it, which preserves the target on write or rename failure. However, whenis_writable( $dir )is false,save()uses directfile_put_contents( $this->wp_config_path, ... ). A failed direct write can truncatewp-config.php, which reproduces the issue.tests/SaveTest.phpdoes not test preservation after a failed write or rename.Resolution
Do not use direct writing when the directory is not writable unless a safe preservation method is available. Report the failure while leaving the original file unchanged. Add tests that force write and rename failures and verify that the original contents remain intact and temporary files are cleaned up.

Check the write for partial results.
file_put_contents() can return a byte count lower than strlen( $contents ) (for example, on a full disk). The code only checks for false. A truncated temp file would then be renamed over the config file. This is the corruption case that the PR aims to prevent. Compare the result to strlen( $contents ).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Handle chmod() failure and preserve ownership when possible.
tempnam() creates the file with mode 0600. If @chmod() fails, the code ignores the result. The renamed wp-config.php then keeps mode 0600. A web server running as another user may no longer read the file. A rename also gives the file the owner and group of the current process, not those of the original file. If the original file is owned by another user, this can break access. Check the chmod() result. Consider chown/chgrp when the process has the privilege to use them. If the permissions cannot be preserved, fall back to a direct write.
Also, if $real_path is unreadable for fileperms(), the code silently skips the chmod() and leaves mode 0600.

Make the fallback test robust when running as root.
If the tests run as root, is_writable() returns true for a 0555 directory. The test then uses the atomic path and does not test the fallback. The test passes without checking what it names. Skip the test when posix_geteuid() === 0. Also, chmod( $this->test_dir, 0777 ) at the end does not run if an assertion fails. tear_down() restores the mode, so this is acceptable.

What changed in this PR
Adds safer wp-config.php saving behavior (atomic writes when possible) and introduces tests covering permission preservation, symlink behavior, and a fallback path when atomic save isn’t possible.
Changes:
- Implement atomic save via temp file + rename, preserving original file permissions.
- Preserve symlink behavior by writing to the real target file when applicable.
- Add PHPUnit tests for atomic save, symlink save, and non-writable directory fallback.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| tests/SaveTest.php | Adds coverage for atomic save permissions, symlink preservation, and fallback behavior. |
| src/WPConfigTransformer.php | Updates save logic to use atomic write/rename when possible and retain original permissions. |
