🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Isolate malformed preview timestamps to the affected section.

The global malformed-time branch marks stores, emitters, and author_unknown as unmeasurable. A malformed row selected by _stores can fail _parse_time, but _emitters and _author_unknown use SQLite date filters and do not parse that row with _parse_time. They can still produce independent metrics, with the malformed row omitted from date-based aggregates.

Degrade stores locally and continue measuring emitters and author_unknown. Update test_malformed_timestamp_degrades_sections_and_names_row to assert that only stores is unmeasurable and that both independent sections remain measured.

malformed-timestamp handling around _stores so only stores is marked
unmeasurable when _parse_time fails; continue computing emitters and
author_unknown through their independent SQLite date-filtered queries. Adjust
test_malformed_timestamp_degrades_sections_and_names_row to assert stores is
