Subject: [PATCH] Fix panic in poll_for_sketch_updates when message system not
 initialized

sketch_update_handler uses MessageReader<AssetEvent<Sketch>> which requires
Bevy's message system to be initialized. When called via run_system_cached
before the app is fully started, it returns SystemParamValidationError
instead of a value, causing unwrap() to panic.

Fix: use .ok().flatten() to return None gracefully when the system
isn't ready, matching the expected Option<Sketch> return type.

Fixes: thread panicked at crates/processing_render/src/lib.rs
  called Result::unwrap() on Err(Failed(SystemParamValidationError {
    message: "Message not initialized", field: "::messages" }))
