keys off that file, so recording an event would silently suppress the
install event.
On a read-only or full data directory the fallback is derived from the data
directory path: stable for the machine rather than random per call, so the
failure mode is a weaker salt and not unbounded cardinality in PostHog.
Published atomically, and there is deliberately no derived fallback. Creating
the file with O_CREAT|O_EXCL and then writing into it leaves a window where
the file exists and is empty, and a concurrent hook that reads it in that
window gets nothing. Falling back to a digest of the path would hand that
process a salt an attacker can compute, memoized for its whole run, which is
the privacy control this function exists to provide silently turning itself
off under load. The salt is written to a private temp file first and linked
into place, so the name either does not exist or already has the full value.
Returns "" when it genuinely cannot persist. Callers omit the hash entirely
rather than emit an unsalted one.
