🤖 Remove sync fs operations and path-finding from runtime

- Replace all sync fs operations (existsSync, mkdirSync) with async equivalents
- Remove executablePaths.ts module entirely
- Rely on system PATH for bash and nice executables
- Simplifies codebase by 74 lines

This ensures the runtime never blocks the main thread during file I/O.
