I tried it and it worked for me. Nice job. From both a file: url and a
localhost url I was able to save and reload. I was also able to save the
file handle in the indexdb. I didn't try any of the other new features.

But even when I had the file handle saved in indexdb, the settings modal
still comes every reload.  I'm not sure I understand the intended workflow,
but it seems like it would be less confusing if the modal would only come
when the indexdb file handle is missing. Is that possible?

Also, I notice you implemented the reset-file-saver message handler as a TW
widget. In other code (i.e.
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/plugins/tiddlywiki/browser-storage/startup.js)
I've seen it implemented via a startup module. Any thoughts on that?
