Write last-hits cache for bare delfaf runs

[rywils]

Summary

• `faf` never wrote `FAFIND_LAST` / `~/.cache/fafind/last`, even though delfaf's README documents a no-pipe workflow that reads it
• Matches are now buffered per worker and written to that cache file (NUL separated) once the walk finishes, same path resolution delfaf already uses
• A stray directory left at the cache path is cleared and replaced instead of failing the write

Test plan

• `cargo build` / `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`
• Ran `faf node_modules .` and confirmed the cache file is written with NUL-separated matches
• Confirmed a zero-match run truncates the cache instead of leaving stale results
• Confirmed `delfaf` reads the resulting cache file and reports the correct match count

Limit details: You’ve used all 3 included reviews currently available under your plan.

Your organization has reached its usage spending cap. Adjust your spending cap in the billing tab.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added cache support for parallel searches, collecting matched paths and writing them after traversal.
  • Cache locations are resolved automatically using configured and standard cache directories.
  • Cache directories are created as needed, including recovery from conflicting directory paths.

• Bug Fixes

  • Cache write failures no longer affect the program’s exit status.

Walkthrough

The parallel walker now collects matched paths in a shared mutex-protected buffer. After traversal, the program resolves a cache path and writes the collected bytes with best-effort directory and write handling.

Changes

Cache output flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Worker cache collection src/worker.rs	WorkerState buffers matched paths and flushes nonempty buffers to the shared cache sink during cleanup.
Parallel walker sink wiring src/walker.rs	walk_parallel accepts the optional sink and passes a clone to each worker.
Cache path resolution and persistence src/lib.rs	The traversal entry point collects cache bytes, resolves a path from FAFIND_LAST, XDG_CACHE_HOME, or HOME, creates parent directories, and retries writes after removing a conflicting directory.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b82a7

This change now buffers every match before writing the cache, so broad searches can consume excessive memory and fail before results are published; cache recovery can also fail when an existing cache path is a nonempty directory, and the required compiler version is not declared. The PR should not merge until these bounded reliability and compatibility risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 87-99: Update the cache-writing flow around cache_sink,
walk_parallel, and write_last_cache so matched paths are streamed in bounded
batches to a temporary cache file instead of retained in a shared Vec<u8> until
traversal completes. Ensure worker buffers are released after each batch, then
atomically replace the final cache file with the completed temporary file after
traversal.
- Around line 144-147: Update the write-recovery branch around std::fs::write to
use std::fs::remove_dir_all instead of std::fs::remove_dir, so nonempty cache
directories are removed before the single retry.

In `@src/worker.rs`:
- Around line 93-95: Declare rust-version = "1.88" in the Cargo.toml package
metadata to match the let-chain syntax used by the cache_sink and cache_buf
condition in the worker implementation.
