Safari: All state is lost after 7 days when no button interaction happens

[grork]

Due to the way that ITP (Intelligent Protection Tracking) works in Safari, all script accessible storage is purged. This means all the local-only content (Stored in localStorage) is removed. If the user interacts by clicking a button (E.g., show the add dialog or about dialog) reset.

Given the nature of this website, thats unlikely — you just visit, see the content, and then move on: You don’t interact.

To address this, we need to:

• Add a call to StorageManager.persist(), ideally behind a Safari Browser check (it’s fine in Firefox & Chromium-based browsers)
• Handle the promise failing, and displaying a warning massage saying they may lose content if permission is granted.
• This should be isolated in a function or class that handles the persist logic only, mitigating it’s impact on the rest of the code base
