fix(host): keep path entry available when the home listing fails

With no listed level (an unreadable or missing home directory), the
path-edit zone previously disabled forever, stranding the operator on the
alert with only Cancel; it now opens with an empty draft so an absolute
path remains the way forward. Covered by a recovery test.
