refactor: Address code review feedback

- Replace 'as any' with proper FeaturesConfig type definition
- Improve CHECK constraint SQL injection validation with comprehensive patterns
- Move isValidIdentifier to shared validation module
- Add comprehensive unit tests for identifier validation (12 tests)
- Fix all linting issues
- All 52 unit tests passing
