fix: handle localStorage SecurityError gracefully

- Add try-catch blocks around localStorage access in authLocalStorage
- Return null instead of throwing when localStorage is unavailable
- Prevent endless loading screen in private browsing/strict privacy modes
- Add proper error logging with console.warn
- Fix nullish coalescing operator usage

Fixes #212
