+# Context: Constants Refactoring
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-16
+**Agent**: const-refactor-agent (via daily scheduler)
+**Goal**: Identify and canonicalize duplicated numeric literals.
+
+## Scope
+- Focus on the literal `5000` which appears to be a common timeout value.
+- Refactor usages to `SHORT_TIMEOUT_MS` (5000ms) where semantically appropriate.
+
+## Changes
+- `js/ui/videoModalController.js`: `autoHideMs` for status message.
+- `js/nostr/nip46Client.js`: `NIP46_PING_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+- `js/nostr/nip07Permissions.js`: `NIP07_EXTENSION_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS`.

+# Decisions: Constants Refactoring
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-16
+
+## Refactoring `5000` to `SHORT_TIMEOUT_MS`
+
+- **5000 ms** used in `js/ui/videoModalController.js` for status message auto-hide.
+  - **Decision**: Use `SHORT_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+  - **Reason**: Matches the definition of a short UI timeout.
+
+- **5000 ms** used in `js/nostr/nip46Client.js` for `NIP46_PING_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+  - **Decision**: Use `SHORT_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+  - **Reason**: Ping operations should be quick.
+
+- **5000 ms** used in `js/nostr/nip07Permissions.js` for `NIP07_EXTENSION_WAIT_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+  - **Decision**: Use `SHORT_TIMEOUT_MS`.
+  - **Reason**: Waiting for extension injection is a short-duration check.
