Subject: [PATCH] test: add vault-tools defensive code coverage

- Added test for getFolderWaypoint file read error handling (line 777)
- Documented unreachable defensive code in stat() (lines 452-456)
- Documented unreachable defensive code in exists() (lines 524-528)
- Added istanbul ignore comments for unreachable defensive returns

Analysis:
- Lines 452-456 and 524-528 are unreachable because getAbstractFileByPath
  only returns TFile, TFolder, or null - all cases are handled before
  the defensive fallback code
- Line 777 is now covered by testing file read errors in getFolderWaypoint

Coverage: vault-tools.ts now at 100% statement coverage (99.8% tools overall)
Test count: 84 vault-tools tests, 505 total tests passing
