ChuckBuildsandClaude Opus 5 ab8ff0e7e9 fix(backup): preserve the destination's mode and owner when merging
Self-review catch. The merge path wrote the combined config with write_text
and renamed it into place, bypassing _copy_file -- which preserves the
destination's mode and owner deliberately, because these files are installed
root-owned while the web interface that runs a restore is not root, and
because widening them to the umask default is exactly the wrong thing to do
to a file that sits next to secrets.

Measured: a config.json at 0600 came back 0664.

The merged result is now written to a scratch file and handed to _copy_file,
which does the atomic replace with the preservation it was written for. The
scratch file is removed in a finally block.

Two tests added: the mode survives a merge, and no scratch file is left
behind. Reverting to the bare rename fails the first.

"""A restore must not repoint this device at another machine's panel.
display.hardware describes the panel physically wired to this device -- cols,
rows, chain_length, hardware_mapping, panel_type, multiplexing, the refresh
cap. A backup carries the panel of the machine it was taken on. Restoring a
512x64 rig's backup onto a 128x32 one used to overwrite the smaller panel's
geometry with the larger one's, and nothing on screen explains why: the
display just stops being right.
That is not hypothetical. It happened, and the rig it happened to had to be
reflashed.
