Immutability & "Active Map" +Nostr events are immutable signed messages. To support "edits", we must allow multiple events to represent the same "entity" (Video). +- **The Trade-off**: We accept higher memory usage (storing multiple versions in `allEvents`) to gain strict cryptographic verifiability. +- **The Solution**: `activeMap` acts as a "Latest-State Projection" (Materialized View) that the UI consumes. This decouples the network reality (append-only log) from the user expectation (mutable state). + +### 2. Buffering vs. Streaming +Directly piping relay events to React State (`setState`) triggers a Re-Render Cycle for every message. +- **The Bottleneck**: Initial loads often fetch 500-2000 events in <2 seconds. +- **The Solution**: A 75ms debounce buffer collects bursts and processes them in one microtask. This turns 1000 re-renders into ~10-15, keeping the UI thread responsive (60fps). + +### 3. Dual-Layer Caching (IDB + Memory) +Relays are slow and sometimes fail. +- **Offline-First**: We restore from IndexedDB immediately on boot (`init`). +- **Fingerprinting**: We hash events before writing to IDB. If `JSON.stringify(video)` hasn't changed, we skip the write syscall. This reduces I/O freezing on mobile devices. + +## When to change + +- **Update `EVENTS_CACHE_VERSION`**: If you change the internal `Video` object structure (e.g., rename fields in `convertEventToVideo`), bump the DB version in `EventsCacheStore` to force a wipe/rebuild on client devices. +- **Modify `subscribeVideos`**: If adding new filters (e.g., "Kids Only Mode"), update the subscription filter here. Ensure the buffer logic remains to protect performance. +- **Refactor Signers**: If NIP-46 changes or a new signer standard (NIP-XX) emerges, modify `signerHelpers.js` and `client.js` methods (`signAndPublishEvent`). + +## Sequence Example: Publish Video + +Publishing is not atomic; it's a multi-step orchestration to ensure compatibility across different Nostr clients (WebSeed vs. File Metadata vs. Categorization). + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram + participant UI as VideoUploadModal + participant Client as NostrClient + participant Signer as NIP-07/46 + participant Relay + + UI->>Client: publishVideo(payload) + activate Client + + Note right of Client: 1.
