Automated File Manipulation and Data Transformation

This code creates a new directory, generates a random string and writes it to a file, then renames the file with a timestamp. It converts the content to uppercase, replaces digits with asterisks, parses it as JSON and writes it to a file. Finally, it returns the function signature and the type of the returned data.
