This is a TOCTOU pattern. While mostly academic in this context, node users sometimes copy "best practices" from the test suite so I'd rather not merge this code as-is. Open the file and handle the error when it's not there.

Agreed. While the TOCTOU race condition can never occur here, your reasoning is all sound. I'll replace it with a try block. Just dislike empty catch blocks but we'll throw a comment in there.
Done.
