## Description

Little State Machine is a lightweight state management library for React applications that provides a centralized data store for managing shared application information. It utilizes a context-based provider pattern to distribute state across the component tree, ensuring consistent data access without the need for manual property drilling.

The library distinguishes itself through built-in support for automatic browser storage persistence, which synchronizes the in-memory state with local or session storage to maintain data continuity across page refreshes. It also incorporates middleware-driven state mutation, allowing for the execution of side effects or data transformations during the update process.

To support efficient interface updates, the library employs hook-based subscriptions and selective memoization. These mechanisms allow components to observe specific slices of the global store, triggering re-renders only when the relevant data changes. The entire system is built with TypeScript, enforcing strict type declarations to ensure consistent data structures and access patterns throughout the application lifecycle.
