Subject: [PATCH] fix(microskills): skip non-dict JSON lines in load_calls

Same pattern as #180/#182: json.loads can return null/list/string,
and d.get("message") fails with AttributeError on non-dicts.

This is a separate fix from #198 (parse_payload guards) - load_calls
parses the transcript, parse_payload parses the proposer reply.
