HostDefaultProvider

An interface that allows the hosting environment (the platform embedding the Compose content) to provide default values for CompositionLocals based on a key.

This acts as a bridge or service locator, allowing platform-agnostic libraries to retrieve platform-specific components (like LifecycleOwner or ViewModelStoreOwner) without depending directly on platform artifacts (e.g., android.view.View).
