Add StorageManager on navigator.storage #38

Description

@FlorianRappl

Proposal

Implement a minimal StorageManager surface to expose storage usage and persistence semantics for headless and test scenarios.

Scope:

  • Add navigator.storage getter.
  • Implement estimate returning quota and usage.
  • Implement persist and persisted with platform-injected behavior.
  • Optional extension point for getDirectory compatibility.
    Technical Notes:
  • Use the same service registration pattern as Clipboard and Geolocation.
  • Keep persistence decisions delegated to an injected platform interface.
    Acceptance Criteria:
  • navigator.storage is available when registered.
  • estimate returns deterministic values in tests.
  • persist and persisted map to the injected platform implementation.
  • Full unit test coverage for success and edge cases.
    Out of Scope:
  • Real browser eviction heuristics.
  • Full OPFS implementation in first pass.

Description

Add StorageManager on navigator.storage with a minimal but useful subset: estimate, persist, and persisted. The implementation should be platform-injected to support deterministic behavior in tests and host-specific behavior in production.

Background

This complements existing storage APIs by exposing quota/usage and persistence intent, which are common needs in headless automation and integration test environments. It also creates a bridge toward future OPFS support.
