/**
* Step 1: timePoint
* - This is the last write time of the file, returned by std::filesystem.
* - Its clock is platform-dependent (filesystem clock).
*
* Step 2: fs::file_time_type::clock::now()
* - Current time according to the filesystem clock.
*
* Step 3: std::chrono::system_clock::now()
* - Current time according to the system clock (standard C++ clock).
*
* Conversion formula:
* timePoint - fs::file_time_type::clock::now() + std::chrono::system_clock::now()
*
* Explanation:
* a) timePoint - fs::file_time_type::clock::now()
* - Calculates the duration between the file's last write time and "now"
* according to the filesystem clock.
* b) + std::chrono::system_clock::now()
* - Shifts that duration to align with the system clock timeline.
* c) std::chrono::time_point_cast<std::chrono::system_clock::duration>(...)
* - Ensures the resulting time_point uses the correct duration type
* for std::chrono::system_clock.
*
* Result:
* - systemTime is a std::chrono::system_clock::time_point representing
* the same instant as timePoint, but compatible with system_clock.
