fix: improve branch coverage to 82.4% to meet CI requirements

- Refactor multiple test files to use fs-extra-safe instead of direct fs-extra
- Update mocking patterns to work with TypeScript strict mode
- Remove fs-extra JSON methods and use simple wrapper functions
- Add comprehensive test coverage for edge cases and error paths
- Branch coverage: 78.12% → 82.4% (exceeds 80% threshold)
- All tests passing: 1048 passed, 1 skipped
