fix(windows): retry ENOENT errors and add delays to prevent file access race conditions
Windows file operations are asynchronous at the OS level. After writeFile() completes, the filesystem may not immediately make the file accessible, causing ENOENT errors when attempting to read files immediately after writing. Root Cause Analysis: The issue manifested in two places: 1. Production code: retryWrite() only retried EPERM/EBUSY, missing ENOENT 2. Test code: Tests read files immediately after save() without waiting for filesystem to stabilize Solution: Production Code (src/json/edit.ts): - Add ENOENT to retriable error codes (critical fix) - Implement progressive retry strategy: * Initial 50ms delay after write for OS flush * Up to 5 access verification attempts with exponential backoff (20ms, 40ms, 60ms, 80ms, 100ms) * 10ms stabilization delay after successful access * Maximum total wait: 360ms (50 + 300 + 10) Test Code (test/unit/json.test.ts): - Add waitForFile() helper function - Calls sleep(50ms) on Windows after save operations - Applied to three tests that were racing against filesystem: * "should preserve line endings" * "should support sort option" * "should use default 2-space indent for new files" The delays are calibrated for Windows CI runners which exhibit significantly slower filesystem operations than local development environments. The combination of production retry logic and test delays provides comprehensive protection against Windows filesystem timing issues. Technical Details: - Platform-specific: Windows only (process.platform === 'win32') - No performance impact on non-Windows platforms - Tests pass reliably on macOS, Linux, and Windows CI
