ChangesRead-only configuration loading
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change allows readable, non-writable configuration files to load, but the current load path may still write to them and replace the file or remove a managed symlink. Merge should wait until load-time writes are skipped for read-only access and the behavior is covered by regression tests. Suggested labels: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

- Around line 97-103: Update the file-opening error handling around the
PermissionDenied check to also treat read-only filesystem failures as the
read-only fallback, while preserving fatal behavior for all other errors. Either
use ErrorKind::ReadOnlyFilesystem and raise the workspace MSRV to 1.83, or
retain Rust 1.82 compatibility by checking Unix raw_os_error() against
libc::EROFS.
- Around line 292-303: Update the fallback test around Test::config_dir and
Test::new().load to use a unique temporary directory, then open path for writing
before load and assert that the attempt fails with ErrorKind::PermissionDenied.
Keep the read-only setup and value assertion, ensuring the test explicitly
verifies the write is denied before exercising the fallback.

A write on a nixos linked file returns either ReadOnlyFilesystem or PermissionDenied |

Good to know, thanks. Pushed 65c8b3f so the fallback matches on |

Preserve read-only access during load().
When file_open() falls back to read-only access, StdConfigLoad::load() still calls self.write(). On Unix, write() can replace the read-only file or remove a managed symlink. Return the access mode from file_open() and skip only this load-time write. Keep explicit writes unchanged. Add regression tests for files and symlinks.

Description
StdConfigLoad::load()opens the config throughfile_open(), which asks for write access and panics if that is denied. With a valid config that is readable but not writable (Home Manager symlink into the nix store, or justchmod 0444)rog-control-centeraborts on startup. This falls back to a read-only open when the file exists and the read-write open fails withPermissionDenied, so the config is parsed and startup continues; a later write still just logs the error as before.Fixes #304
