Address CodeRabbit and Dylan review feedback

Critical fixes:
- Rename globalThis → globalObject (Bun convention)
- Remove double any_task initialization
- Don't count directories in file_count (only files)
- Handle short reads in extractToMemory (realloc to actual size)
- Enforce 100MB limit for in-memory extraction
- Fix memory leak: errdefer for key in extractToMemory

Note: Explicit error sets rejected - anyerror is correct here.
Dylan's suggestion creates maintenance burden listing every
possible filesystem error. Bun's existing code uses anyerror
for similar filesystem operations.

All 33 tests passing.
