PDF page extraction now handles Windows file paths longer than 259 characters

What

When extracting pages from a PDF, the pdfinfo step and the logic that creates a scratch directory for converting pages to images now use Windows' namespaced-path handling to support paths longer than 259 characters. If a scratch directory can't be created at all, Claude Code now falls back to rendering the page images directly into the tool-results directory, with a warning.

Why

This prevents PDF page extraction from failing outright on Windows systems with long file paths, and keeps it working even when a temporary scratch directory can't be set up.
