fix: recover gracefully from corrupted alias cache instead of hard-failing

When the task alias cache file contains invalid JSON (e.g. from a
concurrent write race producing two concatenated JSON objects), the
previous code returned a hard error that blocked all `ask` subcommands.

Now loadTaskAliasCache discards the corrupt file and starts fresh,
assigning new alias IDs on the next run. Validation errors (e.g.
next_id reuse) still surface as errors since those indicate a logic bug.

Also fix stale v1 reference in integration test aliasCachePath.
