KUSH42 0e939af7c2 fix(patch): harden V4A patch parser and fuzzy match — 9 correctness bugs
- Bug 1: replace read_file(limit=10000) with read_file_raw in _apply_update,
  preventing silent truncation of files >2000 lines and corruption of lines
  >2000 chars; add read_file_raw to FileOperations abstract interface and
  ShellFileOperations

- Bug 2: split apply_v4a_operations into validate-then-apply phases; if any
  hunk fails validation, zero writes occur (was: continue after failure,
  leaving filesystem partially modified)

- Bug 3: parse_v4a_patch now returns an error for begin-marker-with-no-ops,
  empty file paths, and moves missing a destination (was: always returned
  error=None)

- Bug 4: raise strategy 7 (block anchor) single-candidate similarity threshold
  from 0.10 to 0.50, eliminating false-positive matches in repetitive code

- Bug 5: add _strategy_unicode_normalized (new strategy 7) with position
  mapping via _build_orig_to_norm_map; smart quotes and em-dashes in
  LLM-generated patches now match via strategies 1-6 before falling through
  to fuzzy strategies

- Bug 6: extend fuzzy_find_and_replace to return 4-tuple (content, count,
  error, strategy); update all 5 call sites across patch_parser.py,
  file_operations.py, and skill_manager_tool.py

- Bug 7: guard in _apply_update returns error when addition-only context hint
  is ambiguous (>1 occurrences); validation phase errors on both 0 and >1

- Bug 8: _apply_delete returns error (not silent success) on missing file

- Bug 9: _validate_operations checks source existence and destination absence
  for MOVE operations before any write occurs
