M10 vollständig abgeschlossen (AP-004 bis AP-007)

- AP-004: Speichern und Speichern unter mit .bak-Rotation,
  normalisierte .properties-Ausgabe, API-Key-Erhaltung bei leerem Feld
- AP-005: Dirty-State aus Editorzustand, Fenstertitel- und
  Header-Marker, Schutzdialog (Speichern/Verwerfen/Abbrechen)
  vor Neu/Öffnen/Schließen inkl. Close-Request-Handler
- AP-006: Vollständige Editoroberfläche mit allen Konfigurationswerten,
  native Pfad-Picker für Quell-/Zielordner, SQLite- und Prompt-Datei,
  Files.exists-Pfadprüfung auf Worker-Thread verlagert
- AP-007: Integrations- und Regressionstests für alle zentralen
  Bedienpfade, Writer-Threading-Contract dokumentiert und getestet

Hexagonale Architektur, Threadingmodell und Naming-Regel durchgehend
eingehalten. Keine Vorgriffe auf M11/M12.

+/**
+ * Regression smoke tests for the complete editor workflow.
+ * <p>
+ * Each test method covers one distinct user-visible flow at integration level. The individual
+ * sub-behaviours (dirty-state derivation, guard dialog options, API-key merge) are already
+ * covered by dedicated unit tests; this class focuses on the end-to-end flow across the
+ * relevant subsystems.
+ *
+ * <h2>Covered flows</h2>
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>GUI start without configuration: blank state, welcome text, no file snapshot.</li>
+ *   <li>"Neu" with standard template: template values loaded, no file path, state clean.</li>
+ *   <li>"Öffnen" existing file: file loaded via callback, fields filled, header shows path.</li>
+ *   <li>"Speichern" on known path: normalized file written, dirty state cleared after write.</li>
+ *   <li>"Speichern unter" first time: file created at chosen path, header updated.</li>
+ *   <li>Overwrite dialog: existing target → dialog appears → yes overwrites, no aborts.</li>
+ *   <li>Dirty-state marking: title prefix and header marker both appear after a field change.</li>
+ *   <li>Unsaved-changes guard: dialog appears before "Neu"/"Öffnen"/"Schließen" when dirty.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h2>Threading and headless compatibility</h2>
+ * <p>
+ * All workspace interactions run on the FX Application Thread under Monocle headless. Native
+ * file dialogs are replaced with injectable hook fields. Asynchronous background operations
+ * are awaited via {@link CountDownLatch} and a polling helper.

+ *       Existing backups are never overwritten.</li>
+ *   <li>Writes the editor values as a canonically ordered, grouped and commented
+ *       {@code .properties} file via a temporary file and an atomic rename, so the
+ *       existing file is never partially overwritten.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * <p>
+ * API-key preservation logic (detecting empty fields with a non-empty baseline) is handled
+ * by the caller (workspace) before invoking this writer. The writer simply serializes the
+ * values it receives.
