Remove stray 8 MB PostScript file committed as 'json' (#3144) - #3148

The repo root tracked a file literally named `json` that is not JSON: it is an 8,103,683-byte PostScript document generated by ImageMagick (%!PS-Adobe-3.0, %%Creator: (ImageMagick), %%Title: (json)). It arrived in 809cef9 ("Fix broken OpticalDetector import in galaxyscope.py", #289), a change unrelated to images, almost certainly a stray ImageMagick output redirect swept into the commit. At 8 MB it was the third-largest tracked file in the repo. Nothing references it (all "json" references in the tree are the language-id string or `import json`), and no packaging/workflow glob picks up the untyped root file (MANIFEST.in only prunes; setuptools include is package-scoped). Clean `git rm`. Note: this removes the blob from HEAD forward; it remains in history, so the pack size is unchanged. A history rewrite (git-filter-repo/BFG) would reclaim it but rewrites shared history and is intentionally out of scope here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
