Audited all 21 localStorage users against the "localStorage as source of
truth" objection. It was already false almost everywhere:
- Every admin facade (products, categories, orders, moderation,
dashboard) uses localStorage only for view preferences - viewMode,
density, visibleColumns, expandedIds, sort. Entity CRUD goes through
the API gateways.
- currency-rates.service already removed its localStorage-typed rates.
- language, location region, search history, the anonymous session id,
admin preferences - all legitimate cache/preference.
- The editor already shows an "unsaved local draft restored" banner
(draftRestored -> save bar), which is the recovery-cache indicator this
item called for.
One real gap remains and it is backend-blocked: project-editor
publish() applies config to the in-memory runtime and saves the draft to
localStorage, then declares itself published - no server round-trip,
because the PHASE-9 §5 revision API does not exist yet. Marked precisely
in publish() with the required behaviour (await the server, only then
mark published) and cross-referenced to the contract.
Nothing to rip out: the codebase was already at the target state
everywhere the backend exists to support it.
262 tests pass. Boundaries green.
