//! User-only file helpers for secrets at rest.
//!
//! On **Unix**, the helpers explicitly chmod the file/dir to `0o600` /
//! `0o700` so other local users on the same machine cannot read them.
//!
//! On **Windows** there is no chmod equivalent — the file inherits the
//! ACL of its containing directory. We rely on Tauri placing our state
//! inside `%LOCALAPPDATA%\<identifier>\`, which the OS already locks to
//! the user's SID via NTFS inheritance. The `#[cfg(unix)]` blocks below
//! are therefore intentionally Windows no-ops, not missing coverage.
