wip fix build

/**
 * Keeps permissionsStore aligned with the browser. The store is a cache,
 * never a second source of truth: every signal re-reads the browser via
 * syncPermissions() (single writer).
 *
 * Re-sync triggers, all event-driven — no polling:
 *  - devicechange: granting permission reveals device labels/ids, so this
 *    fires on grant in every browser INCLUDING Safari — replacing the
 *    previous 500ms Safari polling. (A denial is caught by the concurrent
 *    getUserMedia rejection → notePermissionDeniedFromGum.)
 *  - window focus: returning from the browser/system permission UI.
 *  - Permissions API 'change' events, where the query is supported.

-         * Safari Permission API Limitation Workaround
-         *
-         * Safari has a known issue where permission change events are not reliably fired
-         * when users interact with permission prompts. This is documented in Apple's forums:
-         * https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757353
-         *
-         * The problem:
-         * - When permissions are in 'prompt' state, Safari may not trigger 'change' events
-         * - Users can grant/deny permissions through system prompts, but our listeners won't detect it
-         * - This leaves the UI in an inconsistent state showing outdated permission status
-         *
-         * The solution:
-         * - Manually poll the Permissions API every 500ms when either permission is in 'prompt' state
-         * - Continue polling until both permissions are no longer in 'prompt' state
-         * - This ensures we catch permission changes even when Safari fails to fire events
-         *
-         * This polling is Safari-specific and only activates when needed to minimize performance impact.
