fix: eliminate racing saveData() calls during message restore

Browse source 
When onOpen() restored saved messages, each appendMessage() call
fired a fire-and-forget saveMessages() → saveData(). With N saved
messages, N overlapping saveData() writes raced against each other.
If a stale write landed last, the persisted data could be corrupted
or appear empty on next restart.

Fix: add _restoring flag. Skip saveMessages() inside appendMessage()
while restoring. Do a single clean save after the restore loop.
Also wraps the restore loop in try/catch so a rendering failure
in one message doesn't silently kill the entire restore.
