state saveRepos writes via tmp + atomic rename with fsync, so a crash mid-write can't truncate the file. loadRepos regenerates the default when the parsed repos array is empty or the JSON is corrupted; on parse failure the bad file is moved to repos.json.bad instead of being overwritten. Drive-by: missing <cstdint> include in Utils.hpp. Closesfortheusers/hb-appstore#163

Thanks! Looks good on quick readthrough. I'm cool to merge this as part of other HBAS updates; we can check for platform compatibility bugs as part of on-device testing for next HBAS release and backport changes if necessary. @vgmoose your call. |

I'm actually a little cagey on this just because of how file streams and rename operations work (or, don't work) on homebrew platforms. Can we accomplish something similar without a tmp file first? |
