fix(library): surface unreadable books

list_books silently skipped any .margin file it could not read, parse,
or that lacked an id, so a truncated manuscript just vanished. Emit a
corrupt placeholder entry instead and show it in the library as a
non-openable card with a recovery hint pointing at the .bak backup.
