fix(extension-redis): store anyway when the store lock cannot be acquired

[helenanova]

Fixes #1167.

Root cause: Redis.onStoreDocument runs first (priority 1000) and acquires a Redlock with retryCount: 0. A failed acquisition (quorum ExecutionError — lock contention, or any Redis error with a single client) threw SkipFurtherHooksError, which stops the hook chain: later onStoreDocument hooks (e.g. the database extension) never run, storeDocumentHooks proceeds to unload the document, and the changes are lost.

Fix: on a quorum ExecutionError, log a warning and return instead of throwing, so the remaining hooks still persist this instance's changes. The success path (lock acquired, single instance stores) is unchanged. With an unreachable Redis the same branch is hit, so an outage no longer drops changes either.

Tests: new tests/extension-redis/onStoreDocumentLockFailure.ts — a held store lock (another instance simulated via SET NX PX) no longer skips the remaining onStoreDocument hooks. Fails before the fix, passes after. All 18 extension-redis tests (including the two-server conflict tests) and all 247 server tests pass locally against a real Redis; biome and tsc report no new issues in the touched files.

📝 Summary

When Redlock cannot reach a quorum, Redis.onStoreDocument now logs a warning and returns. This lets later store hooks run instead of stopping the store process. Other errors are still logged and thrown.

A regression test confirms that a later store hook runs when another client holds the lock.

Walkthrough

When Redlock cannot achieve quorum, Redis.onStoreDocument now warns and returns instead of stopping later storage hooks. Other errors still log and rethrow. A regression test checks that a custom storage hook runs when the document lock is held.

The test relies on a fixed sleep(500).

A fixed sleep can make the test flaky on slow CI machines. The CustomStorageExtension hook could resolve a promise when it runs. The test would then await that promise with a timeout.
