- Validate manifest structure up front; malformed items are skipped with a
reason instead of aborting extraction; an unreadable manifest changes
nothing (no removals).
- Empty/whitespace settings.json reads as {}; non-object settings are left
untouched; hook installs/updates/removals are reported and recorded only
once their entries are actually merged; mv failures are checked.
- Dangling symlinks at user paths count as occupied.
- Removal paths are derived from kind+key, never taken from state.json.
- A symlinked settings.json is written through, not replaced.
- mktemp failure emits a JSON report instead of exiting silently.
