-durability: atomic writes (temp file + os.replace, symlink-safe), stale
-`.<pid>.tmp` files from a hard crash are swept on save. this is process-crash
-safety, NOT power-loss durability — no fsync, so an OS/power failure can still
-lose the last write. a single asyncio.Lock guards every read and write, so
-concurrent operations on one instance are consistent. JSON (de)serialization
-runs off-loop via asyncio.to_thread so a large store never stalls other tasks.
-
-scope: SINGLE-PROCESS, single-instance local state only. the lock is per-instance —
-two AioKV instances (or two processes) pointing at the same file are NOT safe and
-will clobber each other. for shared cross-process/cross-bot state, use a database
-(e.g. mongo), not this.
-
-config-free: the file path is passed at construction; nothing is read from a global
-config. keys must be str (ValueError otherwise — JSON object keys are always
-strings, so a non-str key would silently never round-trip). errors in delete/clear
-are logged and swallowed (returning False); get/set raise on unexpected i/o so a
-real failure is visible.
