+/**
+ * Unit tests for `skills/catalog-files.ts` — preview listings and single-file
+ * content for catalog skills (installed or not).
+ *
+ * Covers:
+ *   - sanitizeRelativePath (accepts safe, rejects traversal / absolute / null)
+ *   - readCatalogSkillFiles dev-mode (reads from a temp fake repo skills dir,
+ *     does NOT touch fetch)
+ *   - readCatalogSkillFiles platform-mode (stubbed fetch with success + 500
+ *     + 404 + network-error)
+ *   - readCatalogSkillFileContent dev-mode (text, traversal rejection,
+ *     binary, oversized)
+ *   - readCatalogSkillFileContent platform-mode (text, binary, oversized,
+ *     404, pre-fetch traversal rejection)
+ *   - catalog-miss short-circuit (no fetch call when id unknown)
