Subject: [PATCH 01/12] security: bind dashboard server to 127.0.0.1

Explicitly bind the dashboard server to the local loopback interface
to prevent external access. This addresses a vulnerability where
the server was binding to all network interfaces by default.

+# Secure Dashboard Binding
+
+- **Context:** Hardening the local dashboard server.
+- **Observation:** Default `server.listen(port)` in Node.js binds to all interfaces (`0.0.0.0`), exposing the tool to the local network.
+- **Action taken:** Explicitly added `'127.0.0.1'` as the hostname argument to `server.listen`.
+- **Validation performed:** Verified code change with `grep`.
+- **Recommendation for next agents:** Always specify `'127.0.0.1'` for servers intended only for local use.

Replaced empty catch blocks in `loadCanonicalRoster` and `parseLockEvent`
with `console.debug` statements that log the error message. This
improves observability of failures while maintaining the graceful
fallback behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] Verify hardcoded relays are moved and add regression
 tests

- Verified that `src/lib.mjs` no longer contains hardcoded relay URLs.
- Confirmed `DEFAULT_RELAYS` are defined in `src/constants.mjs` and used in `src/torch-config.mjs`.
- Added regression tests in `test/torch-config.test.mjs` to ensure `getRelays()` correctly falls back to `DEFAULT_RELAYS` and prioritizes environment variables.

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] Refactor ensureDir to remove redundant existence check

- Remove explicit `fs.existsSync` check in `ensureDir`.
- Rely on `fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true })` idempotency.
- Verified with existing tests in `test/ops.test.mjs`.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] Add unit tests for loadTorchConfig with dependency
 injection

Refactored `loadTorchConfig` to support dependency injection for `fs`, enabling true unit tests without disk I/O. Added comprehensive unit tests in `test/torch-config-unit.test.mjs`.

- Refactored `loadTorchConfig` to accept optional `fileSystem` argument.
- Created `test/torch-config-unit.test.mjs` with mocked fs tests.
- Verified existing tests pass.

+# Context for Decomposition of src/lib.mjs
+
+## File Selection
+- **File**: `src/lib.mjs`
+- **Reason**: Identified as the largest grandfathered file (386 lines) suitable for decomposition. `landing/index.html` and `dashboard/index.html` were larger but are not JS source files.
+- **Node Version**: v22.22.0
+- **Extraction Plan**:
+  - Extract `cmdCheck` to `src/cmd-check.mjs`
+  - Extract `cmdLock` to `src/cmd-lock.mjs`
+  - Extract `cmdList` to `src/cmd-list.mjs`
+  - Extract `ExitError` to `src/errors.mjs`
+  - Extract utilities to `src/utils.mjs`
+
+## Goal
+Reduce `src/lib.mjs` size by > 200 lines while preserving behavior.

+# Decisions for src/lib.mjs Decomposition
+
+## Module Boundaries
+- `cmdCheck`, `cmdLock`, and `cmdList` are distinct commands with their own dependencies and logic. They were extracted to separate files to improve modularity and reduce `lib.mjs` size.
+- `ExitError` is used across multiple modules, so it was extracted to a shared `src/errors.mjs`.
+- `todayDateStr` and `nowUnix` are generic utilities used across commands, extracted to `src/utils.mjs`.
+
+## Re-exports
+- `src/lib.mjs` re-exports the extracted commands (`cmdCheck`, `cmdLock`, `cmdList`) to maintain backward compatibility for any consumers using it as a library.
+
+## File Size
+- `src/lib.mjs` was reduced significantly by moving the command implementations out.

Subject: [PATCH 08/12] refactor: make exclusions in check scripts configurable

Refactor `scripts/check-file-size.mjs` and `scripts/check-innerhtml.mjs` to use `node:util.parseArgs` for parsing command-line arguments. This allows users to configure directory and file exclusions via `--exclude-dir`, `--exclude-file`, and `--no-defaults`, instead of relying on hardcoded lists.

This change improves versatility while maintaining backward compatibility by keeping the original hardcoded lists as defaults. It also adds support for `--max-lines` in `check-file-size.mjs` and `--help` in both scripts.

Verification:
- Manually verified that both scripts respect the new flags and defaults.
- Confirmed that `--report` mode still works as expected.
- Confirmed that unknown flags (like `--update`) are safely ignored (due to `strict: false`).

Subject: [PATCH 09/12] test: add unit tests for parseLockEvent

Adds comprehensive unit tests for `parseLockEvent` in `src/lock-ops.mjs` (exported via `src/lib.mjs`).
Tests cover:
- Valid event parsing
- Missing d-tag
- Missing expiration tag
- Malformed JSON content
- Non-object JSON content
- Partial JSON content

+# Diagnosis: 15s Execution Floor in Lock Queries
+
+## Observation
+The command `torch-lock list` and other lock operations consistently take slightly over 15 seconds to complete, even when network conditions are good and relays respond quickly (within <1s).
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+The `queryLocks` function in `src/lock-ops.mjs` uses `Promise.race` to enforce a timeout (default 15s) on relay queries.
+
+```javascript
+    const events = await Promise.race([
+      pool.querySync(relays, { ... }),
+      new Promise((_, reject) =>
+        setTimeout(() => reject(new Error('Relay query timed out')), queryTimeoutMs),
+      ),
+    ]);
+```
+
+When `pool.querySync` completes successfully (e.g., in 600ms), the `Promise.race` resolves immediately. However, the `setTimeout` created in the second promise remains active in the Node.js event loop. Node.js processes do not exit as long as there are active handles (like timers). Thus, the process waits for the remaining ~14.4s until the timer fires (and the callback is executed, though ignored) before exiting.
+
+## Verification
+A reproduction script confirmed that `Promise.race` with an uncleared `setTimeout` prevents process exit until the timeout fires.
+
+## Proposed Fix
+Capture the `timeoutHandle` from `setTimeout` and explicitly clear it using `clearTimeout(timeoutHandle)` in the `finally` block of the `queryLocks` function.

+# Task Log: perf-optimization-agent
+
+**Status:** Completed
+**Date:** 2026-02-14
+**Agent:** perf-optimization-agent
+
+## Diagnosis
+Identified a 15-second execution floor in `torch-lock` operations caused by a `Promise.race` timeout that was not cleared upon successful completion. This kept the Node.js event loop active until the 15s timer fired.
+
+## Action Taken
+Modified `src/lock-ops.mjs` to capture the timeout handle and explicitly clear it using `clearTimeout` in the `finally` block of `queryLocks`.
+
+## Verification
+- **Baseline:** ~15.2s average execution time.
+- **After:** ~2.6s average execution time (min ~0.9s).
+- **Tests:** `npm test` passed successfully.
+- **Lint:** `npm run lint` passed.
+
+## Artifacts
+- `DIAGNOSIS.md`
+- `BASELINE.md`
+- `AFTER.md`

Subject: [PATCH 12/12] Refactor lock filtering to use Set lookups instead of
 linear scans

Optimized `cmdCheck` and `cmdList` in `src/lib.mjs` by replacing O(N*M) linear scans with O(N) Set lookups.
- Introduced `rosterSet` and `excludedAgentsSet` to replace `Array.includes()` calls with `Set.has()`.
- Benchmark showed ~99% performance improvement (from ~280ms to ~2ms for 10k agents and 2k locks).
- Verified with existing tests and custom benchmark.
