  "summary": "Updates `DumpWallet()` in `src/wallet/dump.cpp` to use `AutoFile`, check write operations for failure, flush changes to disk via `Commit()`, and synchronize the parent directory before reporting success. If an error occurs during writing or closing, the partial dump file is removed and an error is returned. A functional test using POSIX `RLIMIT_FSIZE` verifies failure handling.",

Previously, write errors after opening the destination file were ignored, allowing truncated dumps to exit with success and potentially causing users to trust incomplete key backups. Reviewers praised the RLIMIT_FSIZE test coverage and the addition of durable filesystem syncs. The PR has a detailed ACK from pablomartin4btc and is ready for merge consideration."
