Research direction
Start by reading HandleEnumerateDirectoryRequest and HandleHydrateFileRequest and tracing their error paths, including SetBitInFileFlags and fclose. Check how VFS4G handles the write-count validation and identify the conditions represented by each failure case. Done means errors are logged, failure behavior is handled or explicitly confirmed as correct, and the TODO is resolved based on that investigation.
