Subject: [PATCH] refactor: Extract io-helpers module from auto-prompts (D1)

- Extract inlineFile, inlineFileOptional, inlineFileSmart to io-helpers.js
- Enables testable file I/O utilities reusable across prompt builders
- No behavior change; backward compatible via re-export pattern
- Reduces auto-prompts.js cognitive load by ~50 LOC
