Description
We should have some API that exposes a simple key/value store that persists between application launches. This would probably be backed by things like NSUserDefaults on macOS, with a custom implementation on platforms that don't provide a good mechanism.
It's also possible it would make sense for us to just write a custom implementation that is backed by a file on disk, if that would let us avoid having to deal with a bunch of platform-specific bugs down the road.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First review the existing public API and platform persistence approach, then resolve whether settings should use NSUserDefaults, platform-specific mechanisms, or a file-backed implementation; done means a defined key/value API that persists across application launches.
