fix(state): quote dotted terms in FTS5 queries

FTS5 queries containing dots (e.g. P2.2, simulate.p2.test.ts) can trigger query parse edge cases that yield OperationalError or empty results unless quoted. Extend _sanitize_fts5_query to wrap dotted tokens in double quotes (similar to hyphenated terms) and add regression tests.
