[WIP] Refactor code for improved type safety and implementation

[Copilot]

Utilize voxpelli/typed-utils and voxpelli/type-helpers

Goal: Replace custom type-check and utility functions with battle-tested implementations from @voxpelli/typed-utils and @voxpelli/type-helpers to harden implementation, improve type safety, and make code slimmer and more focused.

Analysis & Plan

• Install @voxpelli/typed-utils as a dependency
• Replace custom type checks in lib/type-checks.js:
  • Replace isIterable with typed-utils equivalent (if available, otherwise keep)
  • Replace isAsyncIterable with typed-utils equivalent (if available, otherwise keep)
  • Replace isPartOfArray with guardedArrayIncludes from typed-utils
• Replace custom utilities in lib/misc.js:
  • Review makeIterableAsync (likely keep as is, specific to this use case)
  • Review arrayDeleteInPlace (could be replaced with standard array methods if simpler)
• Review lib/find-least-targeted.js for potential improvements with typed-utils
• Update main index.js to use typed-utils functions where applicable:
  • Replace Array.isArray() checks with typesafeIsArray() for better type safety
  • Replace typeof checks with isType() where it improves clarity
  • Use isObjectWithKey() for object property checks
• Fix engines.node version to >=18.18.0 as required by installed-check
• Run all tests to ensure no regressions
• Run type coverage and linting
• Final verification and commit

Original prompt

Utilize voxpelli/typed-utils and voxpelli/type-helpers to the max to harden implementation and type safety and keep code slimmer and more focused
