fix(config): validate entity_labels structure on PATCH (#902)

* test: add regression tests for #874 and #894

Add tests for None event_date in fact extraction (AttributeError fix)
and for _register_profile skipping .env overwrite with short config keys.

* fix(config): validate entity_labels structure on PATCH (#891)

Config PATCH accepted bare strings in entity_labels values without
validation, causing silent failures at retain time. Now validates
via parse_entity_labels() before writing to DB, and fixes the
BankTemplateConfig type from list[str] to list[dict[str, Any]].

* fix(scripts): handle Python client generator README crash gracefully

The openapi-generator sometimes crashes writing README_onlypackage.mustache.
Allow the failure with || true since all API/model files are generated
before that step, and add a verification check for api_client.py.

* chore: regenerate docs skill openapi.json
