"""
Storage layer for the Objective O4 evaluation study.
Mirrors the resilient pattern already used in Assignment 6's phishing_app:
1. Always write to a local CSV first (fast, always works, no external
dependency).
2. Optionally ALSO mirror the write to a Google Sheet, via a service
account (not a personal OAuth login) -- only activates if
GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_JSON and GOOGLE_SHEET_ID environment variables are
set. Silently skipped otherwise, so the whole study runs fully
locally during development, and the student can switch on live Google
Sheets sync later just by setting those two env vars once ethics
approval is granted and real data collection begins.
Participant linking: pretest and posttest responses are matched using a
short, random, anonymous code (no personal information), generated at the
end of pretest and re-entered by the participant to unlock posttest. See
study/consent_ethics/ for the participant-facing explanation of this.
