fix: keep collection scan alive when one entry errors (upstream #53)
User reported that running org-drill on a buffer with a new (no-ID) entry threw 'Wrong Type Argument: hash-table-p, nil' and stopped the scan — every subsequent entry was silently skipped, so the user had to re-run org-drill once per item (10 items meant 10 invocations). The exact source of the hash-table error is environment-dependent (Emacs version, Org version, lazy org-id-locations init, Doom overrides), so this fix targets the user-visible failure mode instead of the underlying triggering condition. Wrapped the per-entry body of org-drill-map-entry-function in condition-case. An error on one entry now logs a 'skipping' message and the scan continues to the next entry. The session collects all the well-formed items, and the user can re-run drill once total to process them — no more once-per-item. Two regression tests: one verifies the resilience behavior directly (fail entry 1, scan continues to entry 2), the other documents the ID-creation-with-uninitialized-locations scenario as a smoke check.

+;;; test-org-drill-map-entry-resilient.el --- Regression for #53 -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Upstream issue #53 (2024-02). Running org-drill on a buffer with a
+;; new (no-ID) entry threw "Wrong Type Argument: hash-table-p, nil",
+;; and — worse — stopped the scan so subsequent items were silently
+;; skipped. User had to re-run org-drill once per item.
+;;
+;; The exact source of the hash-table error depends on Emacs/Org/Doom
+;; configuration, but the user-facing failure mode is recoverable: one
+;; entry's error shouldn't kill the whole collection scan.
+;;
+;; Fix: wrap the body of `org-drill-map-entry-function' in
+;; `condition-case' so an error on one entry surfaces a message and
+;; the scan continues with the next entry.
