 * A tiny "Elm-style" store. The whole idea: all state lives in ONE value
 * (the Model). The only way to change it is to send a message (Msg) to a PURE
 * function `update(model, msg)` that returns the next Model. Nothing else
 * mutates state, so to understand the app you only read the update function.
 *
 * Side effects (HTTP, timers) do NOT go in `update` — that stays pure and easy
 * to test. Instead, effectful "command" functions call the network and then
 * `dispatch` a message describing what happened (e.g. Loaded / Failed).
