Taylor Ho 01c80aa9b3 fix(desktop): save key backups to authorized path (#4022)
**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** Users can save password-protected identity backups
directly to protected macOS folders such as Downloads.

**Problem:** Signed macOS builds could not save a portable `.ncryptsec`
backup to Downloads because the atomic writer created an unauthorized
sibling temporary file. This surfaced as an “Operation not permitted”
error after the user completed backup creation.

**Solution:** Portable exports now write only to the exact path
authorized by the native Save panel, sync and verify the saved bytes,
and refuse to truncate an existing backup. Buzz’s app-managed backup
retains its atomic writer and durability guarantees.

<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/export_util.rs**
Clarifies that secret exports use a dedicated writer compatible with
native Save-panel authorization.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/identity.rs**
Routes portable NIP-49 exports through the Save-panel-compatible writer
while preserving canonical app state.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/key_backup.rs**
Adds an exclusive-create portable writer with owner-only permissions,
disk sync, byte verification, and cleanup on failure. Keeps the existing
atomic writer for app-managed backups.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/key_backup_tests.rs**
Covers portable export permissions, absence of sibling files, and
preservation of existing backups.

## Reproduction steps

1. Install a signed macOS build containing this change.
2. Open **Settings → Profile → Private key → Create backup** and
complete backup creation.
3. Save a fresh `identity.ncryptsec` file into `~/Downloads` and confirm
Buzz reports success.
4. Open and verify the saved backup with its password.
5. Repeat the save using an existing filename and confirm Buzz preserves
the existing file and asks for a new filename.

## Verification

- Full desktop Tauri suite: 2,049 passed, 14 ignored
- Diagnostic suite: 3 passed
- Focused backup coverage: 30 passed
- Tauri clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`), Rust formatting, and `git
diff --check`: passed
- Push hooks: org safety, branch skew, and desktop Tauri checks passed

Signed-production Downloads smoke remains required after merge because
the signing workflow is restricted to `main`.
