fix(linkcheck): keep the write when the link index cannot be built (#178)
CI / Lint / Test / Vet (pull_request) Successful in 1m13s
CI / Mirror to GitHub (pull_request) Skipped

StripUnresolvedLinks runs before every brain_write and brain_update. Any
walk error below a linked tree's root (e.g. one unreadable subdirectory)
made it return an error, and the write was refused: the learning was
lost. Already true on main.

It now logs a warning and returns the content unchanged: a partial index
cannot tell an invented link from one into the unreadable part, so it
unwraps nothing (never inventing a resolution) and the note is written
with its links as given.
