failed to write system info file %s: %v

Error message

failed to write system info file %s: %v

What it means

The collected platform/architecture/system-info string could not be written to the system-info.log file created inside the debug output directory. Fires when the WriteString call fails, typically due to disk-full conditions, I/O errors, or the file having been closed or become unwritable mid-operation.
