fix(sleep): handoff no-task cleanup + corrupt tasks.json fallback

Follow-up to #125. Two resumability defects in the handoff driver:

1. A no-task night left digests.json (often []) pinned, so every later run
   reloaded the empty pin and never called harvest_for_config again. Remove the
   pin on terminal no-task completion so the next run re-harvests.

2. An interrupted/corrupt tasks.json snapshot raised an uncaught
   JSONDecodeError in _run_handoff. Wrap load_tasks_file in try/except and
   re-mine instead of crashing.

Adds regression tests for both.
