Subject: [PATCH] test(web): Phase 15 toggle hook failure-mode coverage (PR
 #1320)

lefarcen P2 on PR #1320 flagged that the PR body claimed safe
behavior for disabled localStorage, non-object JSON, and missing
CustomEvent shim, but the suite only covered corrupt JSON plus
happy-path storage events. Added four failure-mode tests so the
swallowed errors are not silently traded for a throw in a future
refactor:

1. Returns false on a stored JSON value that parses to an array
   (non-object). Catches a regression where the guard treats
   anything truthy as a config blob.
2. Returns false on a stored JSON value of literal 'null'.
   typeof null === 'object' in JS, so the guard has to check null
   explicitly; this test pins that check.
3. Returns false when localStorage.getItem throws (private mode /
   disabled storage / SecurityError). The hook must swallow and
   return false so the rest of the app keeps rendering.
4. setCritiqueTheaterEnabled still dispatches the same-tab
   CustomEvent when localStorage.setItem throws (quota exceeded /
   disabled storage). The dispatch path is the in-session
   broadcast that keeps every mounted hook coherent even when
   persistence is unavailable; verified by mounting two probes
   and asserting both flip after the setter is called with a
   throwing setItem.

10/10 vitest cases green (6 existing + 4 new).
