What

Sanitizes localStorage keys to prevent XSS injection by stripping dangerous characters (< > ' " \). Implements key sanitization in_sanitize_key()` and applies it to all localStorage read/write operations.

…e_save() (issue #313) Previously GameState.load_game() only validated and migrated saves on the desktop path; the web (localStorage) branch returned the raw parsed dictionary. That left corrupt, hand-edited, or pre-migration web saves loading silently and let the desktop and web builds drift for the same save lifecycle. Changes: - scripts/game_state.gd: add a Callable hook _local_storage_reader (defaults to _local_storage_read) so the localStorage read path is testable without a browser. Extract the post-load pipeline into _validate_and_apply_save(data) and route both the desktop and web branches through it. The web branch now runs validate_save_schema() (returning {} on failure) and migrate_save() (v1 -> v2 with spawn_tick backfill) before returning, matching the desktop path. - tests/test_local_storage_load_validation.gd: new standalone test covering the web branch -- schema-invalid save returns {}, v1 save is migrated to v2 with spawn_tick backfilled, valid v2 save is returned as-is, and empty localStorage falls back to a fresh start. The test forces use_local_storage=true and stubs _local_storage_reader with a closure, so it runs in a headless environment.

Recommendation

Approve. The diff correctly addresses issue PR 313: the web (localStorage) load path now runs the same validate_save_schema() + migrate_save() pipeline as the desktop path via the new shared _validate_and_apply_save(), and the accompanying test suite covers the acceptance criteria. All CI checks are green. The only notable discrepancy is that the PR title/body describe a _sanitize_key() localStorage-key-sanitization change that is not present in the diff; the actual change is the PR 313 load-path fix. This should be corrected for traceability but is not a merge blocker.

Change-by-Change Findings

scripts/game_state.gd: load_game() now delegates both desktop and web branches to _validate_and_apply_save(). The web branch no longer returns the raw parsed dictionary; schema-invalid saves fall back to {}, and v1 saves are migrated to v2 with spawn_tick backfilled. A _local_storage_reader Callable hook was added so the web branch can be tested headlessly. The desktop path behavior is preserved.
tests/test_local_storage_load_validation.gd: New suite forces use_local_storage = true and stubs _local_storage_reader, matching the test approach requested in issue PR 313. It covers schema-invalid saves returning {}, v1→v2 migration with spawn_tick, valid v2 saves passing through, and the empty-localStorage fallback.

Standards Compliance

No violations found against AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md. The change is a focused persistence fix with an accompanying test, consistent with the repo's "one focused change" and test conventions. It does not touch release, UI, or dock-layout conventions.

Linked Issue Fit (PR 313)

Web path applies validate + migrate: Met. _validate_and_apply_save() is shared by both load branches, satisfying the "single shared code path if feasible" guidance.
Schema-invalid save returns {}; v1 save migrates to v2: Met. The new test covers both cases explicitly.
Unit test with use_local_storage forced and storage stubbed: Met. The suite sets use_local_storage = true and substitutes _local_storage_reader with a closure, avoiding a browser dependency.

Tool Harness Findings

Tool harness read_file calls for scripts/game_state.gd, the new test file, and tests/test_case.gd succeeded. CI at commit a6eb77c8c49b3321d2d23fb670e18dd9e202c9e7 reached a terminal success state: macOS validation, export validation (Windows/macOS/Linux), headless smoke test, and script test suite all passed.

Unknowns or Needs Verification

The diff is truncated, and the full migrate_save({}) implementation was not independently re-read. The empty-localStorage test intentionally accepts either {} or a dictionary containing save_version; if migrate_save({}) can return a non-empty dictionary, verify in main.gd that this does not bypass the normal fresh-start path for a brand-new local player.
This PR does not modify tests/test_runner.gd. If that file is an aggregator that must explicitly register new suites, the new tests may not be exercised by CI; the green "Script test suite" check suggests they ran, but registration should be confirmed against the repo's test-runner convention.
The PR title and description mention _sanitize_key() and localStorage key sanitization, but no such function appears in the diff. The description should be updated to describe the actual web-load validation/migration fix.
