Fix LinkedIn writer: progress animation, persona API 404 handling, back-to-home navigation

- Simulate progress step advancement at 1.5s intervals during API calls so users see incremental progress instead of all-at-once bursts - PersonaChip skips API calls entirely in feature-only mode (no console spam) - getUserPersonas/getPlatformPersona return null on 404 instead of throwing - PersonaChip shows neutral gray state when no persona data exists - Back button now clears draft to return to LinkedIn writer home screen - Article title extracted from markdown content (fixes KeyError) - InitialRouteHandler: demo mode subscribes getDefaultLandingRoute() - Header: back button shown when draft exists, navigates to home screen
