plan 50: inline nodeText and cover the WalkDir-error skip path

- extractParagraphs now inlines the old nodeText helper. An empty
  Lines list falls through to the min-chars gate (runeLen("") is
  always below the threshold), so the separate 'not-ok' branch
  goes away along with the nodeText function.
- indexFileIfEligible drops the dead NewFileFromSource error check
  since NewFile never errors for in-memory bytes.
- Tests: errFS wraps os.DirFS to return a forced ReadDir error for
  a specific subtree, giving the WalkDir callback its non-nil err
  path real exercise.

Package coverage rises from 95.6% to 98.8%. The only remaining
uncovered statements are filepath.Abs and filepath.Rel error paths
in rootRelative; both fire only on Windows cross-volume paths or
when os.Getwd fails, neither reachable from Linux tests.
