Module file 

File-level utilities split by concern:

• [path]: filesystem metadata, glob exclusion, extension/name predicates
• [encoding]: byte-to-text decoding and “looks like text” heuristics
• [format_sniff]: magic-byte and container-format detection
• [classify]: mime type and file-info classification surface
• [extract]: text extraction for license/copyright detection
• [image_metadata]: EXIF/XMP image metadata text extraction
• [pdf]: bounded PDF text extraction

The public API is re-exported here so existing crate::utils::file::* paths continue to resolve unchanged.
