정적 HTML 파일을 생성할 때 발생하는 잠재적인 레이스 컨디션 및 부분 읽기(TOCTOU) 취약점을 방지하기 위해 파일 복사 시 StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE를 사용하도록 수정했습니다.
원자적 복사가 지원되지 않는 파일 시스템(예: 다른 파티션 간 이동)을 대비하여 AtomicMoveNotSupportedException 발생 시 REPLACE_EXISTING 옵션으로 안전하게 폴백(fallback)되도록 구현했습니다.
해당 변경 사항에 대한 100% 테스트 커버리지를 달성하였으며 보안 고려 사항을 저널에 기록했습니다.

Pull request overview

Updates html4tree’s index file write/replace flow to prefer atomic replacement semantics to reduce race-condition risk while generating static index.html files.

Changes:

  • Extend write_index_file to attempt Files.move(..., REPLACE_EXISTING, ATOMIC_MOVE) and fall back to REPLACE_EXISTING on AtomicMoveNotSupportedException.
  • Add a unit test intended to cover the ATOMIC_MOVE fallback path via an injectable move function.
  • Document the security rationale in the Sentinel journal.

**Vulnerability:** 파일을 직접 교체할 때 원자적 복사 옵션을 사용하지 않으면, 파일이 덮어쓰여지는 도중(즉, 파일의 일부만 쓰여진 상태)에 다른 프로세스나 클라이언트가 해당 파일을 읽게 되어 불완전한 데이터를 처리하게 되는 레이스 컨디션(TOCTOU) 및 부분 읽기 취약점이 발생할 수 있습니다.
**Learning:** `java.nio.file.Files.move()`를 사용할 때 `StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING`만 지정하면 운영체제와 파일 시스템에 따라 파일 덮어쓰기가 원자적(atomic)으로 이루어지지 않을 수 있습니다.
**Prevention:** 파일 쓰기 작업 후 안전하게 교체하기 위해 항상 `StandardCopyOption.ATOMIC_MOVE`를 시도하고, 파일 시스템 제약(예: 다른 디스크 파티션 간 이동)으로 인해 지원되지 않는 경우에만 예외(`AtomicMoveNotSupportedException`)를 잡아 `REPLACE_EXISTING`으로 폴백(fallback)하도록 구현해야 합니다.

Closing as superseded by draft canonical #296. The same atomic move attempt and unsupported-filesystem fallback is retained there with an accurate reliability claim boundary. #296 must still update to post-#363 master, add deterministic publication/cleanup/failure tests, complete JaCoCo branches, KDoc, APA 7 Oracle/JDK doctoring, changelog, exact-head checks, and independent approval. No evidence from this duplicate head is reused.
