fix(jobnet-search): degrade a null publicationDate to a null date instead of crashing the search (#418) (#419)

date: job.publicationDate.slice(0, 10) trusted a TypeScript interface
claim nothing validates at runtime: apiFetch casts the JSON body, so one
ad with a null publication date threw TypeError inside the jobAds map
and the whole search exited 1 as API_ERROR. The neighboring
applicationDeadline field was already null-guarded with a 1900-01-01
sentinel. publicationDate is now typed nullable so the compiler enforces
the guard, and the ad degrades per-item to date: null. New test verified
to fail on the unfixed code with the exact production TypeError.

### Fixed
- **`jobnet-search` no longer dies over one ad with a null publication date** (#418, the
sibling of #416 from the same audit) - `date: job.publicationDate.slice(0, 10)` trusted
a TypeScript interface claim (`publicationDate: string`) that nothing validates at
runtime: `apiFetch` casts the JSON body, so one `null` threw `TypeError` inside the
`jobAds` map and the whole search of a default-ON portal exited 1 as `API_ERROR` - while
the neighboring `applicationDeadline` field was already null-guarded with a `1900-01-01`
sentinel check. The field is now typed nullable (so the compiler enforces the guard) and
degrades per-item to `date: null`, the shape the `seen_jobs.json` contract documents.
Pinned by a new case in `search-normalization.test.ts`, verified to fail on the unfixed
code with the exact production TypeError.
- **Placeholder-integrity tests in `python-tests` now skip on forks** (#405) - the dedicated
`placeholder-integrity` job already gates on the upstream repo name, but `python-tests` ran
`unittest discover` with no such guard, so forks that personalized files via `/setup` failed
three sentinel checks permanently. Both test classes now use `@unittest.skipIf` on
`GITHUB_REPOSITORY` (defaulting to upstream when unset so local pristine-template runs still
execute).
- **`convert_salary_excel.py` no longer mistakes a title/citation row for the header row**
(#414) - header-row detection accepted the first row in the first 10 where *any* cell merely
contained a company-pattern word, with no check that the row actually looked like a header. A
