Browsers with Tracking Prevention (Edge) or ITP (Safari) throw when
localStorageis accessed in cross-origin contexts (e.g. after redirect from the external auth service), crashing the app before the user can log in.Changes
src/lib/login.js— Added exportedsafeLocalStorageGet/safeLocalStorageSethelpers that catch storage-access exceptions and warn to console; replaced barelocalStoragecalls inloginUser()with these wrappers. Exported so other modules can reuse them.src/Signin.svelte— WrappedlocalStorage.setItem("google-token", ...)inhandleGoogleCredentialwith try/catch (inline<svelte:head>script cannot use ES module imports, so the guard is applied directly).When storage is blocked, the app logs a warning and falls through to the normal auth redirect rather than crashing.
