### Watch history identifiers
The encrypted watch history pipeline is gated by the `FEATURE_WATCH_HISTORY_V2`
runtime flag. When the flag is disabled, clients continue emitting view events
but skip publishing snapshots; the UI still resolves legacy `watch-history:v2:index`
lists so operators can stage the rollout per deployment.【F:config/instance-config.js†L69-L94】【F:js/watchHistoryService.js†L82-L140】【F:js/watchHistoryService.js†L948-L985】

Active identifiers include the default `WATCH_HISTORY_LIST_IDENTIFIER`
(`"watch-history"`) and the legacy aliases enumerated in
`WATCH_HISTORY_LEGACY_LIST_IDENTIFIERS`. Chunk events derive their `d` tag from
`<snapshotId>:<index>`, advertise `['snapshot', <id>]`, and carry `['chunk', <index>, <total>]`
plus an optional leading `['head','1']` marker so relays can prioritize the first
ciphertext. Chunk content is encrypted with the strongest mutually supported
scheme: clients probe for NIP-44 v2 first, fall back to NIP-44, and finally use
NIP-04 for legacy compatibility. The negotiated value is written back to the
`['encrypted', ...]` tag so other readers can attempt the same scheme before
falling back. All payloads store only pointer entries; richer metadata remains
on-device via the [`WatchHistoryService`](../js/watchHistoryService.js) APIs,
which default to pointer-only writes and local-only metadata caches.【F:config/instance-config.js†L60-L78】【F:js/nostrEventSchemas.js†L157-L189】【F:js/nostr/watchHistory.js†L1380-L1549】【F:js/watchHistoryService.js†L331-L376】
`WATCH_HISTORY_LEGACY_LIST_IDENTIFIERS`. Each month publishes as a replaceable
record keyed by `['d', `${identifier}:${YYYY-MM}`]`, optionally echoed in a
`['month', <YYYY-MM>]` tag for readability. The content carries a compact JSON
body such as:
```json
{
"version": 2,
"month": "2025-01",
"items": [
{ "id": "<event id>", "watched_at": 1735689600 },
{ "id": "30078:<pubkey>:video-123", "watched_at": 1735776000 }
]
}
```
Entries store only the watched event identifier (an event id or address string)
and an optional `watched_at` timestamp so relays never receive per-playback
device metadata. Additional playback context (duration, progress, playback
device, etc.) should remain on-device via the
[`WatchHistoryService`](../js/watchHistoryService.js) APIs.【F:config/instance-config.js†L60-L78】【F:js/nostrEventSchemas.js†L157-L189】【F:js/watchHistoryService.js†L331-L376】
