Fix all 89 problems with placeholder solutions

Replace placeholder `function test() { return true; }` with actual working
solutions for all problem files. Each solution now properly implements the
TODO comments from the starter code with appropriate test cases.

Categories fixed:
- Async/Promises (abort-controller, async-await-error, promise-*, etc.)
- TypeScript (generics, enums, type guards, conditional types, etc.)
- JavaScript (closures, currying, generators, proxies, etc.)
- Data Structures (linked-list, binary-search-tree, hash-table, etc.)
- Algorithms (binary-search, merge-sort, quick-sort, BFS, DFS)
- Design Patterns (singleton, factory, observer, strategy, decorator)
- DOM/Browser (custom-events, intersection-observer, mutation-observer)
- Testing (mock-functions, test-doubles, async-testing, TDD)
- And many more...
