+# Context: Constants Refactor Run
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-16
+**Agent:** bitvid-const-refactor-agent (via Daily Scheduler)
+
+## Goal
+Identify and refactor duplicated numeric constants in `js/` to improve maintainability and clarity.
+
+## Scope
+- Search for common numeric literals (e.g., 1000, 5000, 10000).
+- Select a clear candidate group.
+- Replace with a named constant in `js/constants.js` or `js/nostr/relayConstants.js`.
+
+## Constraints
+- Minimal changes.
+- Must pass `npm run lint` and `npm run test:unit`.

+# Decisions: Constants Refactor
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-16
+
+## Refactor: `10000` -> `STANDARD_TIMEOUT_MS`
+
+- **Value:** `10000` (ms)
+- **Chosen Constant:** `STANDARD_TIMEOUT_MS`
+- **Location:** `js/constants.js` (Existing)
+- **Reasoning:**
+    - Multiple files defined `timeoutMs = 10000` as a default.
+    - `STANDARD_TIMEOUT_MS` already exists in `js/constants.js` with this exact value and intent.
+    - Centralizing this improves consistency and allows global timeout adjustments.
+
+## Rejected Candidates (for this pass)
+- `js/nostrEventSchemas.js` (Kind 10000): Not a time duration.
+- `js/storage/s3-multipart.js` (maxParts 10000): Not a time duration.

+Replaced `10000` (ms) with `STANDARD_TIMEOUT_MS` in:
+- `js/testHarness.js`
+- `js/nostr/relayBatchFetcher.js`
+- `js/nostr/client.js`
+
+## Commands Run
+
+### 1. Lint
+`npm run lint`
+- `lint:css`: Passed
+- `lint:hex`: Failed (Expected on `vendor/webtorrent.min.js`)
+- `lint:file-size`: Passed
+- `lint:innerhtml`: Passed
+
+### 2. Unit Tests
+`npm run test:unit`
+- **Result:** `✔ All unit tests passed`
+- **Duration:** ~68s
+- **Files tested:** All unit tests.
+
+## Observations
+- No regressions in functionality.
+- Semantic equivalence preserved (timeout context).
