Downloads now fail rather than silently truncating a file that already exists.
What's wrong with this entry?
Anonymous. No account, no email.
What
Update and asset downloads now open the destination with an exclusive-create flag, so a download into a path that already exists fails instead of truncating whatever was there.
Details
- The write stream is created with
{ flags: "wx" }, which errors rather than replacing an existing target.
Evidence
createWriteStream(t, { flags: "wx" })
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
