Description
In 0.7.2d126 (996),when editing a document I frequently get a pop-up saying:
```The document “ABCD.md” could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application.```
This happens even though I am convinced it is not open in any other application.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the autosave warning in MacDown 0.7.2d126 (996) while editing a Markdown document, then trace the autosave and external-change detection paths; done means autosave no longer reports a conflict when no other application changed the file.
