+/**
+ * Backed by the browser's `localStorage`. [decode]/[encode] run against an in-memory [Buffer] — it implements both
+ * `BufferedSource` and `BufferedSink` purely in memory (no file, works on every target) — to get/put the value's raw
+ * proto bytes, which are then [Base64]-encoded since `localStorage` only stores strings.
+ *
+ * Reads are live (no caching), matching `LocalStoragePrefsStore`: [revision] exists purely to give [data] a fresh
+ * emission after every [updateData] — [Revision] has no `equals` override, so each freshly-constructed instance is
+ * unequal by reference to the last, exactly what [MutableStateFlow] needs to avoid conflating the update away.
+ *
+ * Corruption policy mirrors this module's Android/JVM `ReplaceFileCorruptionHandler` (see
+ * `CoreDatastoreAndroidModule`'s `protoStore`): no value yet (first launch) or a value that fails to decode both fall
+ * back to [defaultValue]. A decode failure is also logged and the recovered default written back, so a corrupted read
+ * is not repeated on every subsequent access — "first launch" is not logged, since it isn't corruption.
