Uploads: write uploads index atomically

Browse Source 
* fix(upload): atomic-rename writes for uploads.json + .bak recovery

UploadHandler.save_upload does a read-modify-write of uploads.json via
two open(..., 'w') + json.dump blocks, with no lock, no temp+rename, and
no recovery. N concurrent inserts lost N-1 entries (last writer wins
after the read snapshot is taken); a SIGKILL/SIGTERM mid-json.dump
truncated the file and the bare 'except Exception: logger.warning(...)'
recovery path returned {}, silently dropping every prior upload.

The handler now serialises the RMW under a per-instance threading.Lock
and writes through _atomic_write_json, which writes to a tempfile in
the same directory, fsyncs, snapshots the previous live to .bak, and
renames the temp onto the target via os.replace. os.replace is atomic
on POSIX, so a reader sees either the old or the new state, never a
half-written file. _load_upload_index tries the live file first, then
falls back to the .bak sibling if the live is corrupt.

Cross-process safety is still on the deployer: gunicorn workers on
the same uploads dir will race the lock, and the atomic-rename is the
kernel-level guarantee that prevents torn reads. If multi-worker
writes are expected, fcntl.flock around the rename is a follow-up;
single-worker and async deployments are correct as-is.

* fix(upload): reload uploads.json inside _index_lock on dedupe path

The duplicate-detection branch in save_upload() was reading uploads.json
*before* taking _index_lock, then writing that stale snapshot under the
lock. A duplicate upload racing with a new-entry insert could clobber
the new entry because the duplicate's snapshot predated the insert.

The new-entry branch already reloaded inside the lock; the duplicate
branch now does the same. It also re-resolves the storage key inside
the lock, because a concurrent insert can have changed the dict's keys.

If the entry has been cleaned up between the outer read and the inner
write, the function falls through to the fresh-insert path instead of
silently writing a stale row.

Boundary note: the _index_lock serialises writers within a single
Python process. Cross-process / multi-worker deployments still need
flock or a database; the inline comment is updated to make this
explicit. The atomic-rename write keeps the on-disk state consistent
but does not serialise writers across processes.

Tests:
- Existing concurrent-insert and partial-write-recovery tests still pass.
- New test_atomic_write_primitives_present_in_production_code asserts
  the production module has at least two 'with self._index_lock:' blocks
  (regression net for this fix).
- New smoke tests: normal upload, duplicate detection, info lookup
  after a backup-recovery scenario.

"""Tests for ``src.upload_handler.UploadHandler`` uploads.json RMW atomicity.
The production code serialises the read-modify-write of ``uploads.json``
under ``UploadHandler._index_lock`` and writes atomically via
``UploadHandler._atomic_write_json`` (temp + ``os.fsync`` + ``os.replace``).
A ``.bak`` sibling is kept for partial-write recovery.
These tests exercise:
* N concurrent inserts retain all entries.
* N concurrent uploads through ``save_upload`` retain all entries.
* Duplicate-upload + new-insert race: the duplicate's stale snapshot
must not overwrite a newer index entry.
* Partial-write recovery from the ``.bak`` sibling.
* The atomic-write primitives are wired in production code.
* Smoke tests: normal upload, duplicate detection, info lookup after
a backup-recovery scenario.

the lock did ``_atomic_write_json(uploads_db_path, existing_files)``
— a stale snapshot that could clobber a concurrent insert.
Post-fix: both branches call ``_load_upload_index()`` inside the
lock, so the duplicate's write is always based on the freshest
state.
This test exercises the invariant by running a duplicate + a new
upload concurrently via the production ``save_upload`` and asserting
that both entries survive. With a slow disk (real ``fsync``), the
window is wide enough that the bug, if reintroduced, would clobber
the new entry; here the test relies on the post-fix invariant being
correct by construction and on the lock serialising the writes.
