Continuity mistake: When Lucifer hands Linda the leaflet in the carpark, the way he holds it changes between angles. In one shot he's holding the sides and in the next he's holding the top. (00:25:40)
Visible crew/equipment: After the brief discussion in the hallway outside Linda's office, as Lucifer walks off a green screen is reflected in her glasses. (00:11:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Lucifer jokingly says to Ricky that there's "nowhere to go but up", part of the crew/equipment is reflected in Ricky's glasses. (00:15:00)
Continuity mistake: When Malcolm lifts his jacket to show he is unarmed his jacket position changes between the two shots. In the first shot his jacket is hanging low and in the second it's held high. (00:19:40)
Revealing mistake: When Lucifer convinces Ricky not to jump off the building, it is blatantly obvious that the two actors are on a green screen and not an actual rooftop. The green glow around their heads is visible. (00:13:10)
Answer: As Cain theorises in a later episode, it's Chloe's love, not presence. This early on, Chloe had no strong feelings for Lucifer, so had no effect on his immortality. In fact even more recently he's back to being invulnerable around her after speculation that he chose to let himself be vulnerable. So while there's a degree of flexibility / retconning going on, it's all explained in-show.
