+# Weekly Agent Task Completion: refactor-agent
+
+- **Agent Name**: refactor-agent
+- **Cadence**: weekly
+- **Date**: 2026-02-15
+- **Status**: Completed
+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+Refactored `js/app.js` to extract video modal event handling logic into `js/ui/videoModalController.js`.
+
+### Key Changes
+- Modified `js/ui/videoModalController.js`:
+    - Added `bindEvents()` method to attach event listeners to the video modal component.
+    - Implemented handler methods: `handleShareNostr`, `handleCopyCdn`, `handleCopyMagnetCallback`, `handleSourceSwitch`.
+    - Updated constructor to accept necessary callbacks and dependencies (`showSuccess`, `playVideoWithFallback`, etc.).
+- Modified `js/app.js`:
+    - Removed `_bindVideoModalEvents` method.
+    - Updated `VideoModalController` instantiation to pass new callbacks.
+    - Called `this.videoModalController.bindEvents()` in `_initModals`.
+- Added `tests/unit/ui/videoModalController.test.mjs` to test the new controller logic.
+
+## Verification
+- Ran `npm run lint`: Passed.
+- Ran `npm run test:unit:shard1`: Passed.
+- Ran new unit tests: Passed.
+
+## AGENTS.md Checklist Compliance
+- **Separation of Concerns**: Moved DOM event handling logic from `bitvidApp` to `VideoModalController`.
+- **State Management**: Controller reads state via getters (`getCurrentVideo`, `getPlaySource`) passed from App.
+- **Execution Flow**: Controller invokes callbacks (`playVideoWithFallback`) provided by App.
+- **Atomicity**: Change is limited to Video Modal event handling extraction.
