Previously only analyze() and direct read_csv_repaired() callers got the
byte-level repair pass (BOM strip, NUL strip, smart-double-quote fold,
unquoted-delimiter merge). The dedup CLI and any other read_file consumer
silently missed it.
read_file gains a repair=True default. CSV/TSV inputs run through
repair_bytes before pandas sees them; Excel inputs still pass through
unchanged. Chunked reads (chunk_size set) bypass repair because the pre-
parse pass loads the whole file — preserving streaming behavior on huge
files. Repair actions and unrepairable lines are logged at INFO/WARNING.
cli_text_clean opts out (repair=False): the cleaner offers fine-grained
control via --preset and per-op flags, and a byte-level smart-quote fold
under the user's "minimal" preset would violate that contract. The
cell-level cleaner does the equivalent work itself when its options ask
for it.
Tests: read_file default strips BOM and folds curly double quotes;
repair=False preserves smart quotes; chunked reads still work and skip
repair as documented.

Some pollution patterns block pandas before the cell-level cleaner can run.
Add a pre-parse pass on raw bytes that fixes only what breaks parsing, and
returns a structured action log the GUI/CLI can surface to the user.
repair_bytes(raw, *, encoding, delimiter, fold_quotes, strip_nul, repair_delims):
1. Strip leading UTF-8 BOM.
2. Strip embedded NUL bytes (the C parser truncates fields at NUL).
3. Fold smart double quotes (curly, guillemet, double-prime) to ASCII '"'.
Curly singles are NOT folded here; they don't conflict with CSV and the
cell-level cleaner handles them more accurately.
4. Per-row repair when one rogue delimiter is embedded in a field that
looks like currency or thousands-grouped digits. Tiered scoring keeps
" $1,500.00 ,7" unambiguous: the strict currency regex match wins
over the loose digit/sigil heuristic.
read_csv_repaired(path) -> (DataFrame, RepairResult). RepairResult exposes
.actions, .unrepairable_lines, and a summary() grouped by kind.
Out of scope for this pass: encoding repair, delimiter conversion, multi-
delimiter merges (k>1) — logged as unrepairable so callers can see what was
left alone instead of silently parsing wrong.
