kshitij 720cdd1d14 refactor: use atomic_json_write instead of hand-rolled _write_payload
Replace 20 lines of manual os.open/O_EXCL/fdopen/fsync/os.replace with the
existing atomic_json_write() from utils.py, which is already used by 6+
modules and handles temp-file creation, fsync, atomic replace, mode
control, and owner preservation. The only novel helper (_fsync_directory)
is retained — atomic_json_write does not do directory fsync.

Update test_flush_write_failure_leaves_no_recovery_file to monkeypatch
utils.os.replace (the new call path) instead of gateway.shutdown_flush.os.replace.

"""Flush pending messages to disk before shutdown to prevent data loss.
When FTS5 index corruption prevents ``INSERT INTO messages``, the gateway
accumulates messages in ``_pending_messages`` (memory-only). On shutdown,
``.clear()`` discards the only surviving copy — permanent user data loss.
This module provides two hooks:
1. ``flush_pending_to_file()`` — called BEFORE ``_pending_messages.clear()``
during shutdown. Serialises any non-empty pending slots to a JSON file
under ``<hermes_home>/pending_messages/``.
2. ``recover_pending_to_db()`` — called AFTER ``runner.start()`` on startup.
Reads flush files, inserts messages into state.db via ``SessionDB.append_message``
(so FTS indexing, session metadata, and display_kind are handled correctly),
then deletes the flush file on success.
See issue #72680 for the full incident report.
