…sible#4597) Use .get() instead of direct dict access for the molecule_yml_date_modified property to handle state files that don't have this key. Older state files or state files loaded from disk may not contain this key, causing KeyError. The property type hint is float | None, so returning None when the key is missing is the correct behavior.

Summary
fixes the keyerror when molecule_yml_date_modified key is missing from state file
changed state.py line 187 to use .get() instead of direct dict access. older state files or files loaded from disk might not have this key, which was causing crashes.
the property type hint says float | None so returning None is correct behavior when the key is missing.

fixes #4597
