FN-8816: make planning storage failures non-fatal

Keep Planning Mode running when browser storage writes fail.

- Retry failed project-scoped planning persistence after targeted eviction.
- Cover storage failure recovery and planning draft hand-off behavior.
- Quarantine the recurring planning-flow flake and add a patch changeset.
