Cookie Management Finally Got a Real API

For years, document.cookie made simple cookie work feel harder than it should be.

String parsing,
manual rebuilding,
no native change events,
and synchronous access on the main thread.

The Cookie Store API is a much cleaner direction:
async methods,
structured reads and writes,
and reactive updates when cookies change.

That is a real upgrade for frontend code.
