⚡ Bolt: [performance improvement] optimize readFileSync buffer conversions

[vishnu-madhavan-git]

💡 What: Replaced .toString() on fs.readFileSync() and vol.readFileSync() results with a direct 'utf8' encoding argument.
🎯 Why: Calling .toString() on the default buffer returned by readFileSync incurs an unnecessary intermediate memory allocation. Passing the encoding string directly lets the underlying C++ binding construct and return a string directly, slightly improving memory utilization and read speeds.
📊 Impact: Micro-optimization reducing intermediate buffer allocations and garbage collection pressure during file reads across multiple packages.
🔬 Measurement: Verify tests across the affected packages still pass as functionally equivalent. Run yarn test in the monorepo root.
