fix(vector): address PR review round 14 — accurate offset-skip comment + news_item doc_id guard

Round-14 review surfaced one blocking and one important issue.

context.py: the comment justifying `skip_offset_lookup` claimed
chunk_start/end_offset weren't in _PAYLOAD_INDEX_FIELDS — round 13
indexed both as INTEGER, so the comment now actively misleads. Replace
with the real reason: an indexed chunk_index miss is canonical (both
paths hit the same Qdrant collection), and skipping the offset filter
avoids a redundant round-trip.

verification.py: hoist an is_valid_nextcloud_doc_id guard before the
`int(d)` cast in _verify_news_items, mirroring the boundary-validation
pattern already in _fetch_document_text. Coerce via `str(d)` because
SearchResult.id is `int | str` (D1 forward-compat widening). Malformed
ids now surface as a logger.warning rather than a generic debug line;
fail-open semantics are preserved.
