safe-json: add streaming read support

Implement safeReadJson function to complement the existing safeWriteJson
functionality:

- Uses stream-json for efficient processing of large JSON files
- Supports both full object reading and selective path extraction
- Provides file locking to prevent concurrent access
- Includes comprehensive error handling
- Adds complete test coverage
- Passthrough all exceptions

This enables efficient and safe JSON reading operations throughout the
codebase.

+# JSON File Reading Must Be Safe and Atomic
+
+- You MUST use `safeReadJson(filePath: string, jsonPath?: string | string[]): Promise<any>` from `src/utils/safeReadJson.ts` to read JSON files
+- `safeReadJson` provides atomic file access to local files with proper locking to prevent race conditions and uses `stream-json` to read JSON files without buffering to a string
+- Test files are exempt from this rule
+
+## Correct Usage Example
+
+This pattern replaces all manual `fs` or `vscode.workspace.fs` reads.
+
+### ❌ Don't do this:
+
+```typescript
+// Anti-patterns: string buffering wastes memory
+const data = JSON.parse(await fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8'));
+const data = JSON.parse(await vscode.workspace.fs.readFile(fileUri));
+
+// Anti-pattern: Unsafe existence check
+if (await fileExists.. ) { /* then read */ }
+```
+
+### ✅ Use this unified pattern:
+
+```typescript
+let data
+try {
+	data = await safeReadJson(filePath)
+} catch (error) {
+	if (error.code !== "ENOENT") {
+		// Handle at least ENOENT
+	}
+}
+```
