Subject: [PATCH] M3: stub db sentinel in ws/memory mode so legacy guards pass

ws/memory storage mode never set the module-level `db` variable. 24 handlers
guarded with `if (!db) return` early-exited, silently dropping all writes
(create campaign, add encounter, participant CRUD, combat, logs).

db stays a truthy sentinel object { __localStub: true } in non-firebase mode.
All real reads/writes route through storage.*; db only used by guards.

56 frontend tests green. Verified via headed browser: create campaign flow
works end-to-end (modal closes, campaign appears via WS realtime push).
