**docs: remove outdated statistics-related documentation and add standards**

- **Removed Files**:
  - Deleted outdated statistics documentation files (`statistics.md`, `statistics-flush-solution.md`, `statistics-summary.md`) to clean up the repository and avoid confusion.

- **Added Standards**:
  - Introduced `DOCUMENTATION_STANDARDS.md` to outline naming conventions and troubleshooting practices for more consistent and maintainable project documentation.

- **Tests**:
  - Added a new test file `edge-cases.test.ts` to verify handling of edge cases, ensuring robust behavior against boundary values and invalid inputs.

**Purpose**: Cleans up deprecated documentation while introducing concrete standards for maintaining and updating documentation. Enhances test coverage for unusual or boundary inputs, improving overall system resilience.

+/**
+ * Storage Adapter Coverage Tests
+ * 
+ * Purpose:
+ * This test suite verifies that core functionality works correctly across all storage adapters:
+ * 1. Memory Storage
+ * 2. File System Storage
+ * 3. OPFS Storage (when in browser environment)
+ * 4. S3-Compatible Storage (with mocked S3 client)
+ * 
+ * These tests ensure consistent behavior regardless of the underlying storage mechanism.
