fix: add validation for localStorage theme values

[zaibamachhaliya]

What this PR does

• Adds validation for theme values stored in localStorage
• Only accepts 'dark' or 'light' as valid themes
• Falls back to 'dark' for any invalid value
• Logs warning in console for debugging

Why this is needed

The ThemeProvider was directly reading localStorage values without validation. If an invalid value like 'blue' or 'red' was stored, the app would use it as the theme, causing CSS variables to fail and UI to break.

How to test

1. Run localStorage.setItem('oe_theme', 'blue') in console
2. Refresh page
3. UI should still work with dark theme
4. Console should show warning: Invalid theme value found in localStorage: "blue". Falling back to 'dark'.

Test Cases

• ✅ localStorage.setItem('oe_theme', 'dark') → Dark theme loads
• ✅ localStorage.setItem('oe_theme', 'light') → Light theme loads
• ✅ localStorage.setItem('oe_theme', 'blue') → Falls back to dark + warning
• ✅ localStorage.setItem('oe_theme', 'invalid') → Falls back to dark + warning
• ✅ localStorage.removeItem('oe_theme') → Dark theme loads

Fixes #183

Before (Bug):

• Invalid theme value → Broken UI

After (Fix):

• Invalid theme value → Falls back to dark → UI works

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved theme loading by accepting only supported light and dark settings.
  • Added a safe fallback to dark mode when saved theme data is invalid or unavailable.
  • Added warnings when theme preferences cannot be read or are unsupported.

Walkthrough

ThemeProvider now accepts only dark or light, falls back to dark for invalid stored values or read failures, and handles persistence failures without stopping the document theme update.

Changes

Theme validation and persistence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Theme initialization and persistence safeguards src/context/ThemeContext.jsx	The initializer validates oe_theme and logs warnings for invalid values or read failures. Persistence catches localStorage.setItem failures while retaining the document theme attribute update.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bd3fa

The PR safely rejects invalid theme values, but storage-restricted environments may still encounter a runtime exception because the fallback write is not guarded. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to protect that write.

Suggested labels: Typescript Lang

Poem

I’m a rabbit guarding themes tonight,
Dark and light must stay just right.
If storage brings a shade astray,
I warn and choose dark without delay.
Hop, hop—safe colors lead the way!

@zaibamachhaliya I found one issue.

• src/context/ThemeContext.jsx, Line 15: An empty stored value (oe_theme='') is invalid because it is not 'dark' or 'light'. However, if (stored) does not log the required warning for this value. Check for stored !== null instead, so every present but unsupported value logs the warning.
