fix(filesystem): resolve TOCTOU race condition in editFile
Fixes https://github.com/ai-action/code-ollama/security/code-scanning/16 CodeQL: Potential file system race condition. The file may have changed since it was checked. The CodeQL warning is a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) race condition false positive for this use case. Fix: Remove the `existsSync` check and handle `readFileSync` errors directly. Changes: - `filesystem.ts:180-191` - Replaced `existsSync` check with direct `readFileSync` and inner try-catch. This eliminates the CodeQL warning by removing the check-then-use pattern while maintaining the same behavior.
