###############################################################################
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Retrieves a value from a JSON-based key-value store.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Retrieves a value for a specified key from a JSON file-based key-value store.
The function supports optional default values and synchronization across
different scopes. It can use session-based settings or direct file access and
provides automatic directory initialization and synchronization capabilities.
 
.PARAMETER StoreName
The name of the key-value store to query.
 
.PARAMETER KeyName
The key whose value should be retrieved.
 
.PARAMETER DefaultValue
Optional default value to return if the key is not found.
 
.PARAMETER SynchronizationKey
Optional key to identify synchronization scope. Defaults to "Local".
 
.PARAMETER DatabasePath
Database path for key-value store data files.
 
.EXAMPLE
Get-ValueByKeyFromStore -StoreName "AppSettings" -KeyName "Theme" `
    -DefaultValue "Dark"
 
.EXAMPLE
getvalue AppSettings Theme
