Replace silent failures with explicit failures in index-level.ts

[thehenrytsai]

In index-level.ts, there are at least a couple of places where we accept invalid input and either return void/empty array instead of throwing explicit errors.

It is probably better to throw instead so that the caller does not assume the method succeeds with no results:

1. queryWithInMemoryPaging()

      // if a cursor is provided but we cannot find it, we return an empty result set
      return [];

2. getStartingKeyForCursor()

    if (indexes === undefined) {
      // invalid itemId
      return;
    }

    const sortValue = indexes[property];
    if (sortValue === undefined) {
      // invalid sort property
      return;
    }

Hi @thehenrytsai I would like to work on this issue. Can you please assign this to me?

[lchauha]

The two methods that you have specified above, I can't find them in index-level.ts file. Were these (queryWithInMemoryPaging(), getStartingKeyForCursor() ) examples?

I have just found one place where we are not returning anything in the index-level.ts file.

https://github.com/TBD54566975/dwn-sdk-js/blob/main/src/store/index-level.ts#L157C14-L157C14, this is the only place.

Let me know if there are more of these.
