Cannot restore local changes which failed to upload during OSM.org outage about rapid HOT 3 OPEN

Looking through the history file, w-14 was likely a "construction way" which I used for straightening/squaring part of a large building but deleted later.

Just for fun, I went through the changes and removed all references to w-14 and copied the new json value into the Rapid_https://rapideditor.org_saved_history key. Upon loading, the console then showed errors about w-26. Looking through the file, w-26 was also a construction way (this time a circular one to help define a curve) which I deleted later. So the bug seems to be specifically related to ways which do not exist in the resulting changeset.

I was able to upload my changes by copying the locally stored changes into ID (Changeset 153874063), so this is a Rapid-specific issue.

Workaround steps:

1. Go to rapideditor.org. Copy the contents of the Rapid_https://rapideditor.org_saved_history key from local storage
2. Open ID (openstreetmap.org/edit) in a new tab. Paste the contents of the previously copied value into iD_https://www.openstreetmap.org_saved_history
3. Refresh ID and select "Restore my changes". The changes should now load
4. Check over the changes to make sure they loaded properly, then Save.

Of course, by successfully uploading the changes, I have made this issue more difficult to reproduce. Sorry!

Thanks for the detailed analysis! The hint about the "construction ways" sounds like the sort of thing that our backup code might be missing..
