MEASURED on both platforms: a file-permission denial leaves existsSync TRUE and fails only the content read — chmod 000 gives EACCES on macOS, icacls /deny (R) gives EPERM errno -4048 on Windows, with stat/lstat succeeding in both. The rig's docblock claimed this mode modelled that denial. It does not. What it models is the UNC / \\wsl$ transport, where an unreachable distro reports errno UNKNOWN at every level and existsSync folds it to false. The distinction decides what the D29 guard is worth: under a permission denial the pre-fix code already failed safe, because existsSync was true so it took the read branch and threw. Only a transport that lies about existence reaches the rebuild-from-empty path. No behaviour change; the comment was wrong, not the code.
