Add runtime type validation after all JSON.parse calls in the web app to
prevent runtime crashes from corrupted or tampered storage data. Creates a
shared safeJsonParse utility with type guard functions for each data shape
(Message[], ChatOverlayState, LayoutConfigRecord). All four affected
callsites now validate parsed data and fall back to safe defaults on
mismatch.
Files changed:
- apps/web/src/lib/utils/safe-json.ts (new utility)
- apps/web/src/lib/utils/safe-json.test.ts (25 tests)
- apps/web/src/hooks/useChat.ts (deserializeMessages)
- apps/web/src/hooks/useChat.test.ts (3 new corruption tests)
- apps/web/src/hooks/useChatOverlay.ts (loadState)
- apps/web/src/hooks/useChatOverlay.test.ts (3 new corruption tests)
- apps/web/src/components/chat/ConversationSidebar.tsx (ideaToConversation)
- apps/web/src/lib/hooks/useLayout.ts (layout loading)
