test: add comprehensive tests for quality scan fixes

Add test coverage for all quality scan fixes:

JSON.parse crash protection (github.test.mts):
- Test malformed JSON responses
- Test incomplete/truncated JSON
- Test binary responses
- Verify URL is included in error messages

Scoped package parsing (dlx/package.test.mts):
- Test scoped packages without versions (@scope/package)
- Test scoped packages with versions (@scope/package@version)
- Verify atIndex === 0 detection for scoped packages

Clock skew protection (dlx/binary.test.mts):
- Test future timestamp handling in cache cleanup
- Test slight clock skew scenarios
- Verify metadata atomic writes using temp files

TTL clock skew (cache-with-ttl.test.mts):
- Document far-future expiresAt protection (>2x TTL)
- Test normal future expiresAt handling

TOCTOU race protection (releases-github.test.mts):
- Test binary re-checking after version file read
- Test re-download when binary missing despite version file
- Mock file system operations correctly

All 272 tests passing (5 test files, 269 tests)
