Fails when the project has never been saved (use save_project_as) or when Premiere writes no non-empty file. Fresh disk metadata verifies a save; unchanged or unreadable metadata reports committed_unverified.save_project_asSave the current project to a new .prproj path. Premiere then has the NEW copy open and closes the original, so later edits go to the copy; the result reports both paths. Fails when Premiere writes no file or leaves a pre-existing path unchanged.
