fix: Handle edge cases for invalid screen index and JSON null paths

- Invalid screen index (e.g., screen:99) now properly falls back to capturing all screens with unique filenames
- String "null" in path parameter is now correctly treated as undefined instead of literal path
- Added fallback-aware filename generation to prevent file overwrites when screen index is out of bounds
- Comprehensive test coverage for both edge cases
