initClient awaited navigator.storage.persist() before creating the client. Chromium and WebKit answer it at once, but Firefox shows a permission prompt and leaves the promise pending until it's answered. So the app sat on "Heating up" (no sync, no crypto, no IndexedDB) for every Firefox user who didn't notice the prompt.
Change: the request is still made, which is all the key-store protection (KE-1) needs, but startup waits at most 1.5 s for the answer. The comment claiming persist() never prompts is corrected.
Verified in Playwright Firefox with the prompt left unanswered (persist() still pending):
Before: still "Heating up" after 20 s.
After: reaches the room list in 12 s.
Not added: a Firefox project in the CI e2e suite, which the issue suggested. CI only installs Chromium and WebKit, and adding Firefox would lengthen every PR run. That can be a separate change if wanted.
tsc clean · unit tests pass · ESLint clean (one existing warning elsewhere in the file).
Fixes #303.
