The I/O handling fix now logs an unreadable discovery entry, but index create still exits successfully with a zero-file index when the project root does not exist.

Reproduction:

$ rustytokens index create /path/that/does/not/exist
rustytokens: skipped unreadable entry: ... No such file or directory
{
  "files": 0,
  "imports": 0,
  "symbols": 0
}
$ echo $?
0

A typo in the project path should fail explicitly rather than create a misleading empty database. Validate that the root exists and is a directory before walking it; keep the warning behavior for individual unreadable entries if desired.
