Lockspire. Install. FileTransaction
(lockspire v1.6.1)
Copy Markdown
A recoverable filesystem transaction for generated install artifacts.
Lockspire deliberately uses only OTP's portable filesystem API. It validates
every existing component with File.lstat/1, refuses links, revalidates before
every write, uses exclusive creates, and journals enough information to undo an
interrupted update. This is a strong defence against stale plans and ordinary
failures, but it is not descriptor-relative openat(2) containment: a hostile
same-user process can still replace an ancestor between validation and a path
operation. That race needs native O_NOFOLLOW/openat support, which
Lockspire intentionally does not ship. Do not run generators in a project tree
writable by an untrusted concurrent user.

Recovers a previous interrupted transaction, if any, before planning a new one.
