refactor: implement high-value code quality improvements

Implemented three high-value fixes identified in code review:

1. NPM Registry Response Validation (npm-version-checker.ts)
   - Added NpmRegistryResponse TypeScript interface
   - Added JSON parsing validation with try-catch error handling
   - Added response structure validation (checking required fields)
   - Added semver format validation with regex pattern
   - Prevents crashes from malformed npm registry responses

2. TypeScript Type Safety (handlers-n8n-manager.ts)
   - Added 5 comprehensive TypeScript interfaces:
     * HealthCheckResponseData
     * CloudPlatformGuide
     * WorkflowValidationResponse
     * DiagnosticResponseData
   - Replaced 'any' types with proper interfaces in 6 locations
   - Imported ExpressionFormatIssue from expression-format-validator
   - Improved compile-time type checking and IDE support

3. Cache Hit Rate Calculation (handlers-n8n-manager.ts)
   - Improved division-by-zero protection
   - Changed condition from 'size > 0' to explicit operation count check
   - More robust against edge cases in cache metrics

All changes verified with:
- TypeScript compilation (0 errors)
- Integration tests (195/195 passed)
