feat: QA audit - scope reduction for production quality

Comprehensive QA audit and remediation following Zero Hassle philosophy.

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed support for log, JavaScript, and TypeScript files
- Removed analysis features (patterns, ranges, anomalies, timezone analysis)
- Removed format conversion features
- Simplified to JSON, YAML, and CSV extraction only

Changes:
- Deleted 7 files: analyze.ts, convert.ts, analysis.ts, convert.ts,
  dateParsing.ts, dateValidation.ts, format.ts, configuration.ts
- Reduced configuration from 30+ settings to 11 essential ones
- Removed 2 commands from package.json (analyze, convert)
- Updated all documentation to match actual implementation
- Simplified extract command to output dates in original format
- Enabled exactOptionalPropertyTypes in tsconfig.json

Testing:
- All 39 tests passing (100%)
- Clean build with TypeScript
- Linter: no issues (Biome)
- Package: 1.56 MB VSIX created successfully
- Format coverage: 83.78% (json/yaml/csv)

What it does now:
- Extract dates from JSON, YAML, CSV in original format
- Support ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix timestamps, UTC, local, simple dates
- Smart deduplication
- Safety warnings for large files
- Clipboard integration
- Settings import/export/reset

Production ready for 1.0.0 release.

 ### Performance Notes
 
 - **Memory Usage**: ~50MB base + 1MB per 1000 dates processed
 - **Large Files**: Files over 50MB may show reduced throughput (200K-800K dates/sec)
-- **Timezone Analysis**: Adds 20-30% processing time when enabled
-- **Date Parsing**: Complex date formats may reduce throughput by 50%
 - **Hardware Requirements**: Minimum 4GB RAM, recommended 8GB+ for large datasets
+- **Safety Features**: Automatic warnings for files exceeding size thresholds
 
 ## 🔧 Troubleshooting
 
 ### Common Issues
 
 **Extension not detecting dates**
 
-- Ensure file is saved and has a supported extension (.json, .yaml, .csv, .js, .log)
-- Check that `dates-le.enabled` is set to `true` in settings
+- Ensure file is saved and has a supported extension (.json, .yaml, .yml, .csv)
 - Try reloading VS Code window (`Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P` → "Developer: Reload Window")
+- Check the Output panel → "Dates-LE" for any error messages
 
 **Performance issues with large files**
 
 - Files over 10MB may take longer to process
-- Consider using `dates-le.includeComments: false` to reduce processing time
-- Enable `dates-le.sortByFrequency: false` for faster extraction
+- Enable safety warnings to get alerts for large files
+- Consider splitting very large files into smaller chunks
 
 **Dates not appearing in results**
 
-- Verify the date format is supported (ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix timestamps)
-- Check if `dates-le.extractIso`, `dates-le.extractRfc2822`, etc. are enabled
-- Ensure dates are not inside comments if `dates-le.includeComments` is disabled
-
-**Timezone analysis issues**
-
-- Enable `dates-le.timezoneAnalysis: true` for timezone insights
-- Check that dates include timezone information for accurate analysis
-- Some date formats may not support timezone analysis
+- Verify the date format is supported (ISO 8601, RFC 2822, Unix timestamps, common date patterns)
+- Ensure the file is a valid JSON, YAML, or CSV format
+- Check if `dates-le.dedupeEnabled` is removing duplicates you want to see

-A: Yes, enable `dates-le.includeComments: true` to include dates found in comments and documentation.
+**Q: What file formats are supported?**
+A: Dates-LE supports JSON, YAML (.yaml, .yml), and CSV files. We focus on structured data formats for 100% reliability.
 
-**Q: How does timezone analysis work?**
-A: When `dates-le.timezoneAnalysis: true` is enabled, Dates-LE analyzes timezone information in dates and provides insights about temporal data distribution.
+**Q: What date formats can be extracted?**
+A: ISO 8601 (2023-12-25T10:30:00Z), RFC 2822 (Mon, 25 Dec 2023 10:30:00 GMT), Unix timestamps (1703508600), UTC, local formats, and simple date patterns (2023-12-25).
 
-**Q: Can I group dates by format type?**
-A: Yes, enable `dates-le.groupByFormat: true` to organize results by date format (ISO, RFC, Unix, etc.).
+**Q: Does Dates-LE work with log files or JavaScript/TypeScript?**
+A: No. Dates-LE focuses exclusively on structured data formats (JSON, YAML, CSV) for reliability. Unstructured formats like logs can produce unreliable results.
 
-**Q: Does Dates-LE work with log files?**
-A: Absolutely! Dates-LE is perfect for analyzing log files, API responses, and temporal datasets to identify patterns and anomalies.
+**Q: Can I deduplicate extracted dates?**
+A: Yes, enable `dates-le.dedupeEnabled: true` to automatically remove duplicate dates from results.
 
 **Q: What's the largest file size supported?**
-A: Dates-LE can handle files up to 200MB, though performance may be reduced for very large files. Consider using streaming mode for large datasets.
+A: Dates-LE can handle files up to 200MB. The extension includes safety warnings that alert you when processing large files (default: 1MB threshold).
