+      nwc-client: TWO issues. (1) MOCK SHADOW (not a spec change): the bootstrap installs a
+      frozen canonical toolkit that readToolkitFromScope() prefers over window.NostrTools, so
+      the per-section mocks never took effect and real @noble ran against the fake test keys
+      ("bad point: is not on curve"). Deleting the scope canonical lets the resolver use each
+      section's mock — the tests exercise the NWC client's encryption-SELECTION wiring, not
+      @noble crypto (which is real elsewhere; the parseNwcUri hex-vs-bytes production bug is
+      guarded by tests/nwc-parse-uri.test.mjs). (2) SPEC CORRECTION: one section asserted a
+      rejection when the toolkit "lacks nip44" by omitting nip44 from the mock. That precondition
+      is architecturally unreachable — the bootstrap's mergeWithCanonical ALWAYS backfills the
+      canonical nip44 (even an explicit `nip44: null` is overwritten by `!merged.nip44`), so
+      nip44_v2 is never an unsupported scheme. Replaced with a wallet advertising a scheme bitvid
+      genuinely cannot provide (nip44_v3), exercising the SAME UNSUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION rejection
+      via a reachable scenario, and strengthened the check to also assert error.code — strictly
+      stronger than the old message-only match.
+
+      user-blocks + nostr-publish-rejection: FLAKE_FIX (no assertion changed). Both are
+      bare-assert files that PASS all assertions then hang on lingering handles after completion
+      (user-blocks: a never-resolving decrypt's background retry timer that manager.reset() doesn't
+      cancel; nostr-publish-rejection: js/app.js + subscriptions + userBlocks module-load
+      timers/connection managers). Applied the repo's established post-completion
+      `setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 50)` exit after cleanup. No behavior or expectation was
+      altered — the process simply exits once the assertions have all run.

+## 2026-07-05 — todo-11: uploadModal-reset zombie-callback test made deterministic (correct mock boundary)

+  change_type: ["flake_fix", "refactor_tests"]
+  scenarios:
+    - id: SCN-upload-zombie-callback-guard
+      given: "An upload is in progress (videoUploadState.status === 'uploading') via a controllable pending mediaUploader.uploadVideo"
+      when: "resetUploads() runs mid-upload (bumping videoUploadId), then the in-flight upload later resolves (a 'zombie' completion)"
+      then: "The stale completion is ignored — status stays 'idle' and results.videoUrl stays '' — because handleVideoSelection guards on videoUploadId !== currentUploadId"
+  observable_outcomes:

+    - "results.videoUrl.value === '' after the zombie resolve"

+  anti_cheat_rationale:

+      - "over-mocking internal logic"
+      - "retry/sleep-based flake masking"
+    note: |
+      FLAKE_FIX + REFACTOR_TESTS, no assertion weakened. The subtest PASSED its asserts but
+      leaked async activity after the test ended, which node:test flags as a failure. Root
+      cause: it mocked modal.generateTorrentMetadata / resolveUploadIdentifier, but
+      handleVideoSelection drives the upload through this.mediaUploader.uploadVideo — a
+      DIFFERENT object with its OWN helpers — so the mediaUploader still ran real
+      createTorrentMetadata()/hashing on a synthetic {name:'video.mp4'} file ("invalid input
+      type" async), and captureVideoMetadata() ran URL.createObjectURL(file) ("must be an
+      instance of Blob"). Fixed by mocking at the correct DI boundary
+      (modal.mediaUploader.uploadVideo returns the controllable pending promise) and stubbing
+      captureVideoMetadata. The unit under test is the modal's videoUploadId zombie-guard, so
+      mocking the uploader boundary is correct isolation, not over-mocking (real upload/torrent
+      paths are covered by the mediaUploader / s3-upload suites).
+  mutation_verification:
+    - "Broke the guard (`if (this.videoUploadId !== currentUploadId) return` → `if (false)`) → the test FAILS ('State should remain idle after zombie completion', # fail 1). Reverted."

+
+```yaml

+  scenarios:
+    - id: SCN-dm-block-filter-hermetic
+      given: "The 'integration with loaded user block list' test loads standard + legacy block lists and filters incoming DMs"
+      when: "manager.loadBlocks() runs against stubbed fetchListIncrementally, with the live block-list subscription stubbed out"

+  observable_outcomes:

+    - "process.getActiveResourcesInfo() shows no TCPSocketWrap after loadBlocks; node exits 0 on pass, 1 on a forced failure (verified — failures NOT masked)"
+  determinism_controls:
+    - "stubbed nostrClient.fetchListIncrementally; truthy stub nostrClient.pool; no-op nostrClient.getSubscriptionManager; window.nostr.nip04.decrypt stub. All restored in finally. No network."
+  anti_cheat_rationale:
+    prevents:
+      - "retry/sleep-based flake masking"
+      - "over-mocking internal logic"
+    note: |
+      FLAKE_FIX, no assertion changed. The file PASSED all subtests then hung: loadBlocks()
+      opens a LIVE block-list subscription through nostrClient's real SimplePool aimed at the
+      test's fake relay URLs, leaking TCP sockets + reconnect timers that outlive the run so
+      node:test never exits (surfaced only once the runner was given a per-file timeout).
+      Diagnosed with process.getActiveResourcesInfo() — 4 TCPSocketWrap + reconnect Timeouts;
+      NOT the decrypt-retry timer (verified absent). Nulling the pool did not help because
+      loadBlocks calls ensurePool() (userBlocks.js:967) to re-create+connect a real pool when
+      pool is falsy. Fix keeps the test hermetic: a TRUTHY stub pool (so ensurePool is skipped)
+      + a no-op getSubscriptionManager (so the subscription opens nothing). The block-merge
+      logic under test still runs fully through the stubbed fetchListIncrementally. A force
+      `process.exit` in an after() hook was explicitly REJECTED after verifying it masks real
+      failures (process.exitCode is not set when the hook's timer fires — a deliberately broken
+      assertion still exited 0 under that approach). Under this fix, the forced-failure control
+      correctly exits 1.

+// Shared "this profile belongs to a bitvid admin" badges. An admin is the super

+- [x] `tests/ui/uploadModal-reset.test.mjs` ("UploadModal Reset Logic") — FIXED 2026-07-05.
+      The "guard against zombie callbacks" subtest mocked `modal.generateTorrentMetadata` /
+      `resolveUploadIdentifier`, but handleVideoSelection drives the upload through
+      `this.mediaUploader.uploadVideo` (a DIFFERENT object with its own helpers) — so the
+      mediaUploader still ran real `createTorrentMetadata()`/hashing on a synthetic
+      `{name:"video.mp4"}` file, throwing "invalid input type" as async activity AFTER the
+      test ended (node:test flags that as an uncaughtException) plus
+      `captureVideoMetadata()` calling `URL.createObjectURL(file)` → "must be an instance of
+      Blob". Not intermittent anymore — it was a consistent, wrong-boundary mock. Fix: mock
+      at the real DI boundary — `modal.mediaUploader.uploadVideo = () => delayedUpload` (the
+      controllable pending promise) + stub `modal.captureVideoMetadata`. Now hermetic, no
+      webtorrent/Blob, deterministic (3/3 exit 0, # pass 3). Mutation-verified: breaking the
+      videoUploadId zombie guard makes the test fail (# fail 1). See TEST_INTEGRITY.md.

-      - `nostr-publish-rejection`, `nwc-client`, `user-blocks` remain quarantined
-        (see QUARANTINE map in run-unit-tests.mjs for the precise reason on each).

+        precondition fixes had already landed (dev-mode override at top; NIP-71
+        auto-publish spec-corrected to expect ZERO calls with FEATURE_PUBLISH_NIP71 off).
+        Remaining issue was a post-completion HANG: the file imports the full app stack
+        (js/app.js + subscriptions + userBlocks) whose module-load timers/connection
+        managers keep the event loop alive after all assertions pass. Applied the repo's
+        established bare-assert `setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 50)` exit after cleanup.
+        NOTE: it was never actually in the QUARANTINE map (only 2 entries: user-blocks +
+        nwc-client), so it had been silently hanging any local `npm run test:unit` (no
+        per-file timeout unless UNIT_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS is set).
+      - `nwc-client` — ✅ DONE + UN-QUARANTINED 2026-07-05. (1) Mock-shadow fixed: the
+        bootstrap's frozen canonical toolkit is preferred by readToolkitFromScope, so the
+        per-section `window.NostrTools` mocks never took effect (real @noble rejected the
+        fake keys). Removing the scope canonical lets the resolver fall through to each
+        mock. (2) Spec correction: one section expected a rejection when the toolkit
+        "lacks nip44," but mergeWithCanonical ALWAYS backfills the canonical nip44 (even
+        explicit `nip44:null`), so nip44_v2 is never absent — the wallet now advertises a
+        genuinely-unsupported scheme (`nip44_v3`) to exercise the same UNSUPPORTED_ENCRYPTION
+        path, and the assertion also checks `error.code`.
+      - `user-blocks` — ✅ DONE + UN-QUARANTINED 2026-07-05. Post-completion HANG: the
+        decrypt-timeout section installs a never-resolving nip44Decrypt that leaves a
+        background decrypt-retry timer alive (manager.reset() doesn't cancel it). Applied
+        the same `setTimeout(() => process.exit(0), 50)` exit after the final assertion.
+      - `dm-block-filter` — ✅ DONE + UN-QUARANTINED 2026-07-05. A FOURTH, pre-existing hang
+        surfaced by running the full suite with a per-file timeout (it was never in the map,
+        so it had been silently hanging local `npm run test:unit`). All subtests PASS, then
+        node:test never exits. Root cause (diagnosed via process.getActiveResourcesInfo):
+        the "integration with loaded user block list" test's `manager.loadBlocks()` opens a
+        LIVE block-list subscription through nostrClient's real SimplePool aimed at the
+        test's fake relay URLs, leaking 4 TCP sockets + reconnect timers. NOT the
+        decrypt-retry timer (verified absent). Nulling the pool did NOT help — loadBlocks
+        calls `ensurePool()` (userBlocks.js:967) to re-create+connect a real pool when pool
+        is falsy. Fix (node:test-SAFE, no force-exit): make the test hermetic — (1) a TRUTHY
+        stub pool so ensurePool() is skipped, (2) a no-op getSubscriptionManager so the
+        subscription opens nothing; the block MERGE still runs via the stubbed
+        fetchListIncrementally. Verified: clean run exits 0 (# pass 12), AND a deliberately
+        broken assertion still exits 1 (# fail 1) — failures are NOT masked. See
+        TEST_INTEGRITY.md.
+      - **QUARANTINE map is now EMPTY** — every unit test file runs in CI.
