fix(persistence): harden coerceEpoch null guard + autosave catch rollback

- coerceEpoch: early-return fallback on null/undefined input (was falling
  through to new Date(null) → epoch 0, surfacing as 1970-01-01 in the
  stories list); also unify the tail branch to Number.isFinite for
  consistency with the number-type fast path
- autosave .catch: roll back lastSavedFingerprintRef on unexpected throw
  so the next session change retries instead of silently marking the
  content as saved
