Restore the case state when a phased update fails.

A later DataService.setData call or finishTask can fail after earlier batches have been saved. cancelQuietly only returns the task tokens and saves the current case; it does not restore the previous dataset. The assign event has already set is_active to false, so an existing dashboard item can remain inactive with partial updates.

The finishTask failure path also existed before this PR. The phased writes add new failure points between batches and therefore worsen the partial-state window. Use one atomic write sequence, or restore the original case data and active state when any phase fails.

around lines 132 - 134:
Update the phased case-update flow around the RuntimeException and
TransitionNotExecutableException catch to make all data writes and task
completion atomic, or restore the original case data and active state when any
phase fails. Do not rely on cancelQuietly alone, since it does not undo saved
data or the assign event’s inactive state.

Is it needed to be Object type or it is just because of casting? Data field "item_id" is text field, so its value should always be String.
