fix(openapi): remove early-return guard so workers always respond to OpenAPI requests

Without this change, a worker with 0 registered resources would silently drop
the ITC request, causing the main thread to wait 5 seconds before timing out.
Now every worker responds (even with an empty spec), matching Dawson's review request.

Also adds a full test suite for resourceOpenApiRequestHandler including
happy-path send/drop assertions and a 'no hang on empty resources' case.
