Replace fast-glob with tinyglobby, a smaller and faster alternative. All fast-glob APIs used in this project have direct tinyglobby equivalents: - glob() for pattern matching - isDynamicPattern() for detecting glob patterns - escapePath() for escaping glob characters in paths The only API without a direct equivalent is generateTasks(), which was used solely to extract the static base directory from a glob pattern. This is replaced with a small getGlobBase() helper that splits on path separators and stops at the first dynamic segment. Addresses webpack#449 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Replace
fast-globwithtinyglobby, a smaller and faster alternative with a compatible API surface.Prompted by #449 —
fast-globis the heavier of the two production dependencies, andtinyglobbycovers the same use cases with a smaller install footprint.Changes
src/utils.js— swapfast-globimport for named imports fromtinyglobby(glob,isDynamicPattern,escapePath). Add a smallgetGlobBase()helper to replace thegenerateTasks()[0].basepattern (splits on/and stops at the first dynamic segment — verified to produce identical output for all relevant patterns).package.json— removefast-glob, addtinyglobby ^0.2.12.package-lock.json— regenerated.API mapping

All 142 tests pass, 320 snapshots match. Linter and formatter clean.
