Description

I have some atoms that I would like to sync with local storage, but their initial value is effectful. I'm looking for a way to persist the value, but Atom.kvs requires a non-effectful default.

const runtime = Atom.runtime(BrowserKeyValueStore.layerLocalStorage)

const flagAtom = Atom.kvs({
  runtime: runtime,
  key: "flag",
  schema: Schema.Boolean,
  defaultValue: () => Effect.succed(false),
})

Research direction

Start by locating Atom.kvs and inspecting how its defaultValue is evaluated, then trace the BrowserKeyValueStore.layerLocalStorage integration shown in the example. Define how an effectful default should interact with persisted values and confirm that the resulting API can initialize and sync the flag atom.
