Research direction

Start in src/browser.js at the linked storage and localStorage access around lines 198-200, 218-219, and 245-248. Reproduce the web-worker case with “Pause on caught exceptions” enabled, then verify that defensive checks prevent the distracting errors while browser debugging behavior remains usable.

I'd appreciate if it instead uses a more defensive approach:
