Description
A fresh browser with no saved draft ends up with an extra empty paragraph after the first reload.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the app in a new browser profile (empty IndexedDB).
- Type some text into the first paragraph and wait a moment.
- Reload.
Expected
The draft has the single paragraph that was edited.
Actual
After the reload, the draft has an extra empty paragraph besides the edited one. On main before #3 it came out as ["", "INT. HOUXY\nSE"], and with #3 as ["INT. HOUXY\nShe waits.SE", ""], so this predates #3. A likely cause: LocalProject.open runs twice against the same empty IndexedDB store (e.g. a React StrictMode double effect), and each run calls createDocument, so the two blank documents merge.
Acceptance criteria
- Opening a fresh draft and reloading leaves exactly the paragraphs the user created.
- A regression test covers opening the same empty project twice concurrently.
