🧹 Fix swallowed error in sidepanel storage initialization

[google-labs-jules]

🎯 What: The code health issue addressed
An empty catch block in extension/sidepanel/sidepanel.js (around line 462) was silently swallowing errors during storage initialization. This patch adds a console.warn() to log the error.

💡 Why: How this improves maintainability
Empty catch blocks hide critical initialization failures, making it difficult to debug when something goes wrong with storage access. Logging the error improves observability and debugging without disrupting the application's execution flow.

✅ Verification: How you confirmed the change is safe

• Confirmed the patch was exactly as requested.
• Ran ./test/test-extension.sh, which passed successfully.
• Ran ./test/smoke-test.sh to ensure overall project health.

✨ Result: The improvement achieved
The codebase is now slightly healthier by not hiding errors silently, resulting in better observability.

Duplicate of #92. This catch only fires when chrome.storage is unavailable, which in practice means the side panel is being loaded under the Node test harness, so logging here adds noise to the test output.

Closing as part of triaging the open PRs against #109, which restructures the extension (it removes the .cjs twins, renames test/test-*.js to .mjs, and rewrites the crawler and side panel). It is up to date with main as of ee79db2.
