Subject: [PATCH] fix(documents): always render undated badge in DocumentRow
 desktop column
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The desktop right-column kept a leftover {#if doc.documentDate}…{:else}—{/if}
fallback that emitted a bare em-dash for undated documents, while the mobile
block already always rendered <DocumentDate>. DocumentDate defensively maps a
null date to the "Datum unbekannt" badge, so render it unconditionally — an
undated document is an absence, not an error, and never shows a bare "—".
