-Fix: useProperty initialization sets default value even when preventDefault is called
-
-When a parent component uses `lift()` to listen to a property change event without
-passing the property value to the child, `useProperty`'s initialization event was
-`preventDefault`'d by `lift`, leaving the host property `undefined`. This caused crashes
-in components like `cosmoz-omnitable` where `selectedItems` was never initialized.
-
-The `updater` method now accepts an `isInit` flag that bypasses the `preventDefault` veto
-during initialization, ensuring the host always receives its default value. Subsequent
-updates retain the full `lift`/`preventDefault` two-way binding semantics.
