fix: atomic_write retry on PermissionError for Windows (micro-fix)

[iinaa-eimrit]

Fixes #7369 by adding a short retry loop with backoff to atomic_write on Windows to handle transient PermissionErrors caused by concurrent readers locking the target file during replace. Also adds a new test to reproduce and verify the race condition.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved file-saving reliability on Windows by retrying when the destination file is temporarily locked.
  • Retries are limited to prevent indefinite delays.
  • Preserves the original failure behavior if the file remains unavailable after multiple attempts.
  • Non-Windows file-saving behavior remains unchanged.

• Tests

  • Added Windows-specific coverage confirming that a temporary permission failure is retried and the new file content is saved successfully.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

atomic_write now retries temporary-file replacement after PermissionError on Windows. A Windows-specific test verifies that one failed replacement is retried and succeeds.

Changes

Atomic write reliability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Replacement retry and validation core/framework/utils/io.py, core/tests/test_io.py	atomic_write retries replacement up to 10 times on Windows and waits briefly between permission failures. Other platforms use one attempt. The documentation describes this behavior, and the test verifies one retry and the final file content.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 209a7

This localized change retries transient Windows file-replacement permission errors and adds coverage for the race condition; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

- Around line 8-32: Make test_atomic_write_concurrent_reader deterministically
verify retry behavior by synchronizing the reader close with the first failed
replacement or injecting an initial PermissionError, then assert the subsequent
write succeeds. Skip the real open-reader scenario on non-Windows platforms
because atomic_write performs only one attempt there.
