Show a small gold "verified admin" star in the corner opposite the red
notification dot whenever a rendered profile belongs to a bitvid admin
(the super admin or a current list editor).
- adminBadge.js (new): isAdminActor(hex|npub) sync check against
accessControl, and applyAdminStar(container, id) which adds/removes a
single `.admin-star` in a non-clipped, positioned container. Idempotent.
- CSS: `.admin-star` (top-left gold disc, mirrors the top-right dot),
`.dm-avatar-wrap`, and position:relative on the comment avatar wrapper.
- Profile button: app.refreshAdminStar() lights the logged-in user's star;
re-runs on login/logout and on accessControl.onEditorsChange (so a
late-loading editor list still resolves).
- Comments: star on comment-author avatars (commentNodeFactory).
- Channel page: wrap the clipped avatar and star the channel owner.
- DMs: Avatar gains an opt-in adminId — only admin avatars get wrapped so
non-admin rows are byte-identical; ContactRow passes the peer pubkey.
- tests: admin-badge unit coverage (recognition, idempotency, removal).

The profile-button red dot now lights when the logged-in user has either
unseen DMs or (if they can edit admin lists) pending submissions to review.
The Messages-nav dot stays DM-only.
- applicationBootstrap.js: split indicator state into _dmUnread and
_submissionsPending; applyProfileNotificationDot() ORs them for the
profile dot. Added refreshSubmissionsIndicator (gated on FEATURE_SUBMISSIONS
+ canEditAdminLists), a bitvid:submissions-changed listener, a 180s poll,
and a startup refresh.
- authSessionCoordinator.js: refresh the submissions indicator on
auth-login and auth-logout alongside the DM refresh.
- submissionsSection.js: emit bitvid:submissions-changed after approve/deny
so the dot recomputes for all admins.
- check-file-size.mjs: bump authSessionCoordinator grandfather baseline.

Requested pre-promotion sweep of login methods, active signers, and anon session
actors. Four real bugs found and fixed:
1. Logging out could wipe EVERY saved account's remembered nsec key. The no-arg
clearStoredSessionActor() removed the whole per-account v2 map, and it was
reachable from SignerManager.logout() (non-persisted nsec cleanup) and from
the blocked-key cleanup in registerPrivateKeySigner — same bug class as the
NIP-46 session-map wipe fixed earlier. Now: the no-arg form clears only the
legacy v1 slot; logout targets the departing account (and skips entirely when
it can't name one); the blocked-key cleanup targets the blocked pubkey
(mirroring the already-targeted twin in unlockStoredSessionActor).
Spec-corrected the test that had encoded the wipe-all as intended behavior.
2. Removing a saved profile left its keys on the device. The switcher's
remove-account flow cleared NWC + the keep-unlocked cache but kept the
remembered (encrypted) nsec key and the NIP-46 session. New
client.forgetStoredAccount(pubkey) (SignerManager.forgetStoredSessionActor +
clearStoredNip46Session) forgets both WITHOUT touching the active session's
in-memory actors; wired into handleProfileLogoutRequest.
3. Logout never actually re-locked a kept-unlocked device. The forget read
detail.pubkey / this.pubkey — both already nulled by authService.logout()
(the detail only carries previousPubkey) — so the cached decrypted key
silently survived logout. Now reads previousPubkey.
4. restoreUnlockedSigner bypassed access control: a since-blacklisted account's
cached key would silently restore its signer. It now accepts a validator
(mirroring unlockStoredSessionActor), forgets the cached key on denial, and
both app-level call sites (_initAutoLogin, ensureEncryptionCapableSigner)
pass an accessControl.canAccess gate.
Also verified-safe during the pass (no action): logout's persisted-nsec keep
logic under the ephemeral session-actor overwrite; NIP-46 logout keepStored;
the ephemeral actor as a harmless extra DM-decrypt candidate; corrupt-map
recovery clears; anon blacklist-seeding now always has a signing-capable actor.
Tests: session-actor multi-account suite spec-corrected + re-verified (no-arg
clear keeps per-account keys); 57 tests across session-actor / nip46 /
unlocked-key / switch / signer-gate / feed-gate suites green. Lint + build green.

Cold refresh stalled on "Fetching moderation filters…" and then (logged in)
"Fetching subscriptions…" before the grid could render. Boot was SERIAL behind
relay fetches even though every stage already had a local cache:
1. _initAccessControl awaited the full admin-list relay refresh (up to 15s)
before auto-login — but accessControl hydrates whitelist/blacklist from
localStorage at construction, and isHydrated() existed for exactly this case
(unused). Now: when cached lists are present (every visit after the first),
boot proceeds immediately and the refresh continues in the background — the
existing whitelist/blacklist change listeners re-filter the grids when it
lands. First-ever visits still wait (a whitelist-mode instance must never
render unfiltered). The admin-pane refresh no longer blocks boot at all.
2. bootstrapTrustedSeeds awaited the same relay refresh (up to 3.5s more).
waitForAccessControl now fast-paths on isHydrated(): cached editors seed
trust immediately, and its onEditors/Whitelist/BlacklistChange listeners
already re-apply seeds when the real refresh lands.
3. The post-login feed gate held the grid for the FULL list sync + NIP-07
decryption (up to 8s). New js/app/feedListCacheGate.js: a probe that checks
all three list services (blocks/subscriptions/hashtags) hold a valid cache
for the active pubkey, raced into the gate — warm boots open as soon as the
caches hydrate (first ticks) and the background sync re-filters on arrival.
Cold boots (no caches) behave exactly as before.
Net effect: warm cold-refresh renders from IndexedDB-cached events with cached
filters/lists near-instantly; relay truth streams in behind it. No moderation
semantics changed — every stage that lacks a cache still waits.
Tests: tests/feed-list-cache-gate.test.mjs (5 — all-three-caches probe incl.
stale-pubkey/missing-service, late-hydration early release, cold-boot timeout,
throwing probe). Access-control + switch suites green. Lint + build green
(coordinator compacted to stay under its size cap).

Switching accounts (e.g. NIP-07 → nsec) still showed the OLD account's direct
messages. The earlier switch fix reset only the profile modal's DM view, but the
DM data lives in the app-wide nostrService store (this.dmMessages), which the
messages pane reads via listDirectMessageConversationSummaries /
getDirectMessagesForConversation. Logout clears that store
(stopDirectMessageSubscription + clearDirectMessages); the switch path never did,
so the old messages persisted.
Fix: on an identity change, authSessionCoordinator.handleAuthLogin now stops the
old DM subscription and clears the in-memory DM store BEFORE the new account's
subscription starts — so the pane shows the new account's DMs (or empty→new),
never the old.
Uses a new clearDirectMessages({ keepSnapshot: true }) option: it wipes the
in-memory store but preserves each account's PERSISTED per-actor DM snapshot, so
switching back to an account stays fast (per-account DM cache). Logout still fully
clears (keepSnapshot defaults false).
Tests: tests/services/nostr-service.test.mjs — clearDirectMessages empties the
in-memory store + resets the active actor and emits cleared/updated, in both
keepSnapshot modes. Lint + build green.

After unlocking a saved nsec key the user had to re-enter the PIN on every reload,
because the key is only passphrase-encrypted and the in-memory signer is lost on
refresh. Add an opt-in unlocked-key cache with two tiers (maintainer's choice):
- session (default, always): sessionStorage — survives refresh/navigation, cleared
when the tab/browser closes. Same rough exposure as the in-memory signer.
- persistent (opt-in): the unlock prompt now shows a "Keep me unlocked on this
device" checkbox with an inline unencrypted-at-rest warning; when checked the key
is also written to localStorage and survives until site data is cleared.
client.restoreUnlockedSigner(pubkey) re-registers the signer from the cache WITHOUT
a passphrase — it verifies the cached key derives to that pubkey and forgets a
mismatch, so it never adopts another account. It runs proactively from
ensureActiveSignerForPubkey (auto-login/refresh) and lazily from
ensureEncryptionCapableSigner before any prompt, so after a reload the signer is
restored silently and storage/hashtags/DMs/reactions/blocks/subs all just work.
Logout and remove-saved-profile forget the cached key (forgetUnlockedSigner).
SECURITY: while cached, the key is stored decrypted — the passphrase no longer
protects it at rest. Session tier is the default; persistence is opt-in + warned.
Tests: tests/unlocked-key-cache.test.mjs (8 — session vs persistent tiers, promote
persistent->session on read, reject non-hex, forget one, clear all, missing-storage
degrade). Related unlock/switch/session-actor suites green. Lint + build green.

Fast-follows to the ensureEncryptionCapableSigner gate: every remaining
signing/encryption flow now re-unlocks a reloaded nsec signer with one passphrase
prompt instead of dead-ending. Each call site short-circuits ONLY on the
user-driven outcomes (cancel / bad-passphrase); every other case falls through to
the flow's own existing error handling, so non-nsec signers (e.g. an unresponsive
NIP-07 extension) behave exactly as before.
- Reactions (#54): ReactionController.handleReaction gates before the optimistic
update with need:"sign" (kind-7 reactions don't need encryption) — fixes the
"like/dislike does nothing" that was a rolled-back publish on a lost signer.
- Blocks: handleProfileBlocklistMutation (need:"encrypt", NIP-04 mute/block lists).
- Subscriptions: the channel Subscribe/Unsubscribe toggle (need:"encrypt", kind 30000).
- DM send: both composers — handleSendProfileMessage and handleDmAppShellSendMessage
(need:"encrypt", NIP-17/NIP-04).
Reactions get the gate via a new ensureSigner callback on ReactionController; the
modal flows use the services.ensureEncryptionCapableSigner already exposed.
Tests: tests/reaction-signer-gate.test.mjs (3 — cancelled/bad-passphrase block
publish, ok proceeds, asserts need:"sign"). Related suites (decision, DM, profile
modal, switch delegators) green. Lint + build green.

Switching accounts with the profile modal open (e.g. NIP-07 -> a saved nsec) left
the PREVIOUS account's DMs, subscriptions, hashtags and lists on screen until the
user refreshed. Two problems:
1. handleAuthLogin ran its identity-reset steps unguarded, so if any one threw
(renderSavedProfiles, a warm-list call, etc.) the steps after it were skipped —
including handleActiveDmIdentityChanged, which is what clears the previous
account's conversation. Result: stale DMs after a switch. Each reset step now
runs in isolation via runIdentityResetStep, and the DM reset runs first.
2. The switch-with-modal-open refresh called populateOpenProfilePanels(), which
only paints from current service state and omits lazily-loaded panes (messages,
watch history). It also fired before the new identity's lists had loaded, with
no reliable refresh afterward. Replaced with refreshOpenPanesForActiveIdentity(),
which re-runs the ACTIVE pane through selectPane() — the same load+populate path
as opening it fresh — so DMs reload, subscriptions/hashtags refetch, etc. It runs
immediately, again once profile/wallet data settles, and once more from the auth
coordinator when the new identity's blocks/subscriptions/hashtags finish loading
(backfill for slow sync). Non-active panes stay lazy and repopulate on select.
Per-user list caches (blocks/subscriptions/hashtags are already keyed per pubkey)
mean the active pane shows cached data instantly on switch, then updates when the
new identity's fetch settles — no manual refresh.
Tests (tests/profile-modal-controller.test.mjs +3): a throwing reset step is
isolated; a throwing DM reset no longer skips the saved-profiles reset; and
refreshOpenPanesForActiveIdentity re-runs the active pane only when the modal is
open. Existing profile-modal / switch-coordinator / stored-nsec-switch suites green.

Move the encrypted-key store from a single slot to a per-pubkey map so
several saved nsec accounts each keep their own key on the device and the
profile switcher can move between them. Previously bitvid:sessionActor:v1
held one key (last-saved wins), so switching among saved nsec accounts
silently failed.
- sessionActor.js: new bitvid:sessionActors:v2 map keyed by pubkey (follows
the existing bitvid:<thing>:<npub> convention). readStoredSessionActorEntry,
persistSessionActor, clearStoredSessionActor take an optional target pubkey;
legacy v1 slot is kept in sync as the last-saved default and migrated into
the map on first read. IndexedDB mirror keyed per-pubkey. Adds
listStoredSessionActorPubkeys().
- client.js: getStoredSessionActorMetadata / unlockStoredSessionActor accept a
target pubkey; access-denial cleanup forgets only the blocked account.
- nsec provider threads expectPubkey into the unlock so a switch unlocks the
requested account, with the expectPubkey guard as a backstop.
- authSessionCoordinator: look up the target account's stored-key metadata.
NIP-46 multi-account (single slot bitvid:nip46:session:v1) remains as a
follow-up. Tests: tests/session-actor-multi-account.test.mjs (7).

Completes fluent switching across signing methods (NIP-07 / nsec / NIP-46):
- NIP-46 switching: it had the same bug — switchProfile called the provider with no
reuseStored, so it started a fresh handshake (needs a new connect URI/QR) instead of
reconnecting. Now handleProfileSwitchRequest sends { providerId: "nip46",
reuseStored: true } for NIP-46 targets; authService.switchProfile forwards reuseStored;
the nip46 provider's useStoredRemoteSigner reconnects the stored session and activates
the account. On failure -> a clear "reconnect your remote signer" toast.
- Wrong-account guard (all methods): requestLogin now enforces expectPubkey (only set by
switchProfile). A single-slot stored nsec/NIP-46 session resolving to a DIFFERENT
account than requested is rejected with `pubkey-mismatch` instead of silently switching
to the wrong profile. Also protects NIP-07 (switching to an account the extension isn't
currently on fails clearly instead of grabbing the extension's active account).
Tests: tests/authService.test.mjs (+3 — unlockStored/passphrase + reuseStored forwarding,
expectPubkey rejection). Build + lint clean; auth suites green.

Switching to a saved nsec profile silently failed: switchProfile -> requestLogin -> the
nsec provider was called with no passphrase, so it threw "secret-required" and the switch
was caught+logged with no user feedback. It never prompted for the PIN.
Now handleProfileSwitchRequest detects an nsec target and, before switching, prepares the
stored-key unlock:
- evaluateStoredNsecSwitch(meta, target) (pure) gates on a persisted nsec key for THIS
account (via getStoredSessionActorMetadata); errors clearly otherwise ("log in with its
nsec", "different account's key saved").
- showPasswordPrompt (js/ui/promptDialog.js) collects the PIN/passphrase in a styled
dialog (Promise<string|null>, stacks above modals).
- switchProfile(pubkey, { unlockStored: true, passphrase }) — authService.switchProfile
now forwards unlockStored/passphrase to requestLogin, which routes to the nsec
provider's unlockStoredSessionActor to restore the signer and activate the account.
- Wrong PIN -> "Incorrect PIN/passphrase" toast (decrypt-failed).
So NIP-07 -> nsec switching works fluently. NIP-46 switching is unchanged (follow-up to
verify/extend); multiple-nsec accounts still share one stored slot (follow-up).
Tests: tests/stored-nsec-switch.test.mjs (6), tests/password-prompt.test.mjs (6). Build +
lint clean; auth suites 25/25.

The real reason every tab looked identical: VideoListView.render re-sorts
displayVideos by date UNLESS metadata.preserveOrder is set, and only Explore set
it. So For You's tiering, Trending's view-count ranking, and Kids' scoring were
all discarded at render and shown in plain chronological order — i.e. the #21
feed-identity work was invisible. Set preserveOrder for For You, Trending, and
Kids so their feed-engine order survives to the grid.
Also per request:
- Sidebar: Trending now sits above Recently Added.
- Default homepage: logged-out users land on Trending (gated by
FEATURE_TRENDING_FEED, falls back to Recent); logged-in stays For You. The
logout-from-For-You redirect follows the same rule.

The For You feed's watch-history suppression and tag-affinity previously
loaded only when the For You / History view was first opened
(feedCoordinator loadLatest({allowStale:true})), so on a cold login the
feed first rendered without suppression and then re-ran ~1-3s later on the
watch-history "fingerprint" event. Watch history was the one feed-driving
list not eagerly warmed in the background on login.
It was deliberately deferred because a cold load used to be ~150+
serialized nip-07 decrypts that starved the single-threaded signer during
the fragile post-login handshake. That cost has since been bounded
(format-routing + newest-first chunk cap + deferred backfill), so the
authSessionCoordinator.js comment's condition for re-enabling an eager
preload is now met.
Kick a fire-and-forget watch-history preload AFTER the blocks/subscriptions/
hashtags lists finish decrypting (never concurrently — same reasoning as the
DM deferral). loadLatest({allowStale:true}) returns immediately and runs the
chunk-capped refresh in the background, so the For You feed's suppression is
warm by the time the user reaches it instead of waiting on the tab.
Extracted as schedulePostLoginWatchHistoryPreload() so the contract is
unit-tested in isolation (correct pubkey + allowStale, pubkey guard,
fire-and-forget / non-blocking, swallows a failed refresh). Build + full
unit suite green; mutation-verified.

Real-env console (cold nip-07 login) showed list decryption failing en
masse: blocks/hashtags/subscriptions fetched fine (relay cap working —
every sub now fans out to exactly 8 relays) but decryption timed out for
minutes with "message channel closed", only recovering on a page refresh.
Root cause: the single-threaded nip-07 extension channel is overwhelmed
during the post-login handshake. One contributor is the eager DM load —
loadDirectMessages({ limit: 50, initialLoad: true }) ran at login and
fired a burst of decrypts that competed with the feed-driving lists
(blocks/subscriptions/hashtags) for the same channel. DMs are lower
priority (the user isn't viewing Messages at login) and already load
lazily when the Messages tab opens.
Defer the eager DM load; report dms state as "deferred". The lightweight
unread-indicator refresh still runs so the badge stays accurate. First
increment of the "cut the login burst" work (KNOWN_BUGS #0).
Test: tests/app/login-defers-dms.test.mjs (cheat-resistant — asserts
loadDirectMessages is never called at login, dms state is "deferred", and
the unread indicator still runs).

handleBlocksLoaded reloaded the feed on every 'blocks-loaded' signal — but a
forced reload re-fetches the lists, which re-emit 'blocks-loaded', a
self-sustaining loop. Now it computes a signature of the block set and reloads
only on actual change (emit-on-change — the P5 principle). handleRelaysLoaded
only touches relay UI; hashtag prefs already dedup by signature.
Cheat-resistant regression test added. Bumped authSessionCoordinator file-size
baseline. Logged 2 pre-existing app test failures (fail at pre-session baseline)
in KNOWN_BUGS. Marks KNOWN_BUGS #2 resolved.

The eager watch-history preload (0c8a17e3) — even deferred after the critical
lists — saturated the serialized nip-07 extension with ~150+ chunk decrypts for
~18s after login. If the profile modal was opened in that window, its hashtag /
subscription / DM loads competed for the extension and failed/timed out, and DMs
felt broken.
Revert to lazy loading: watch history loads when the For You feed or History view
is opened, keeping login light so the critical lists and the modal work. Re-add
an eager preload only after the cold-load decrypt cost is reduced (task #14).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Regression from the eager watch-history preload (0c8a17e3): it fired BEFORE the
blocks/subscriptions/hashtags list sync. The nip-07 extension serializes all
decrypt calls, and a cold watch history is ~150+ chunk decrypts — so those
queued ahead of the small critical lists, which then timed out ("hashtags not
working / subscriptions super slow") while watch history slowly drained the
extension (~20s).
Move the preload to AFTER Promise.all(parallelListTasks) so the small, critical
lists decrypt first, then watch history warms in the background. Still
non-blocking; still emits "fingerprint" for the For You re-run.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Watch history is ~150 separately encrypted chunk events; decrypting each one is
a serialized round-trip to the nip-07 extension (the key lives in the extension
and cannot be cached locally), so a full re-decrypt cost many seconds on EVERY
load. Chunk events are addressable/replaceable: an unchanged chunk keeps its
event id while a modified chunk republishes under a new id.
Add a persisted cache (watchHistoryDecryptCache.js) keyed by chunk event id. The
fetch path checks it before calling the extension and stores successful
decryptions, so reloads decrypt only the chunk(s) that actually changed
(typically one) and skip the extension for the rest — across sessions. Bounded
to 400 entries; cleared on logout alongside the conversation-key cache. The
cached plaintext is no more sensitive than the watch-history items already
persisted by the manager.
Adds watchHistoryDecryptCache.test.mjs (round-trip, persistence/re-hydrate,
bounds, clear).

Watch history was never loaded as part of the login cascade — it only loaded
when the For You feed refreshed or the history tab was opened. So on login (and
on other feeds) watched-video suppression and watch-history tags did nothing
until the user navigated there.
Kick off a non-blocking watchHistoryService.loadLatest() during the login
list-sync (deliberately NOT in parallelListTasks, so the feed never waits for
it). loadLatest schedules the background refresh, which emits "fingerprint" and
the For You feed re-runs (feedCoordinator) to apply suppression once resolved.
Deduped against the feed's own loadLatest via the in-flight refresh promise.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Watch history is stored as up to ~150 separately NIP-44-encrypted chunk
events. Each chunk built a fresh cipher suite whose conversation-key cache
lived only in its own closure, so the ECDH conversation key (~12ms each in
the bundle) was re-derived once per chunk — multiplied across actor-candidate
and scheme-fallback retries this synchronously blocked the main thread for up
to ~20s after login/profile open (the reported freeze + fan spin-up).
Memoize the derived key by (scheme, privateKey, target) at module scope so it
is computed once per load and reused. Cleared on logout/identity change next
to clearDecryptionSchemeCache so a derived shared secret never outlives its
session. On the 150-chunk path this drops decrypt time ~1955ms -> ~182ms.
Adds tests/nostr/watchHistoryConversationKeyCache.test.js covering: 150 chunks
=> one derivation, distinct identities derive independently (no cross-identity
reuse), and cache-clear forces re-derivation.

- Remove redundant double signer readiness gate evaluation that added 5-10s
to the login path (authSessionCoordinator)
- Reduce decryption timeouts (10s→6s per scheme, 3s→1.5s retry delay,
8s→5s NIP-07 no-prompt, 45s→25s overall ensureLoaded) for faster scheme
fallback during list sync
- Fix storage tab unlock: remove overly strict capabilities check that
blocked lazy-injecting NIP-07 extensions, and add auto-unlock attempt
when profile modal opens with an active signer
- Fix subscription/hashtag decryption: always resolve signer for background
refreshes (was previously gated behind allowPermissionPrompt), and always
check window.nostr as fallback decryptor regardless of prompt mode
- Fix capabilities check in subscription decryption: use method existence
instead of dynamic capabilities getter that returns false during lazy
extension injection
- Wrap Promise.any decryptor calls in Promise.resolve().then() to catch
synchronous throws from NIP-07 adapter methods when extension modules
haven't loaded yet
- Make watch-history feed registration race-safe with pre-check and
try/catch for concurrent registration attempts
- Improve NIP-07 extension detection with DOMContentLoaded listener for
faster detection of extensions that inject during page load

The auth:logout event listener in applicationBootstrap.js fires
synchronously during authService.logout(), setting __handled = true and
starting handleAuthLogout as fire-and-forget. When requestLogout() then
checked detail.__handled, it saw true and returned early — before
applyLoggedOutUiState() could update the UI.
Two changes fix this:
1. Remove the __handled early-return guard from requestLogout() so it
always awaits handleAuthLogout.
2. Add a promise-based dedup guard to handleAuthLogout so the event
listener's fire-and-forget call and requestLogout's awaited call
share a single execution instead of running the logout cleanup twice.
https://claude.ai/code/session_01ArpiYU9bNdzme5xBHWnKuS
Four issues caused login to be extremely slow and lists to fail syncing:
1. Subscription list decryption excluded NIP-04 when NIP-44 was available,
preventing decryption of NIP-04-encrypted lists entirely. Removed the
allowNip04 gate so NIP-04 is always a fallback (matching userBlocks.js
and hashtagPreferencesService.js which already worked correctly).
2. When the NIP-07 extension permission pre-grant failed (common on page
refresh when the extension injects slowly), all list services were called
with allowPermissionPrompt:false and could never recover. Now list
services are allowed to prompt for permissions themselves when the
pre-grant fails, avoiding 6-10 second retry delays.
3. The profile modal storage tab was never refreshed on login or logout,
so it stayed locked even after authentication succeeded. Added
populateStoragePane() calls to handleAuthLogin and handleAuthLogout.
4. The watch-history feed engine.run() call was missing await, so rejected
promises from unregistered feeds escaped the try/catch and propagated
as unhandled errors instead of falling through to the service fallback.
https://claude.ai/code/session_013puYzbf1cC7a59HLcGQUdJ
The NIP-07 login flow was extremely slow because list decryption (blocks,
subscriptions, hashtag preferences) started before the signer was ready.
On page refresh, all three services failed with "permission-required" and
scheduled 3-second retry delays, adding 6-10 seconds to every login.
Key fixes:
- List loading now waits for the permission pre-grant to complete before
attempting decryption, ensuring the signer is available on first try
- Extension wait timeout increased from 3s to 5s for slower extensions
- Decrypt timeouts reduced from 20s to 10s (signer is guaranteed ready)
- Auto-login now forwards authType/providerId from saved profiles
- Storage tab unlock falls back to ensureActiveSignerForPubkey when the
global signer is not yet registered
- Watch history feed registration adds defensive re-registration and
try/catch fallback to prevent "Feed not registered" errors
- Decryption scheme cache TTL extended from 10 minutes to 2 hours
- ensureExtensionPermissions waits for extension injection when there
are outstanding permissions to request (was returning immediately)

Introduced FEED_TYPES constants in js/constants.js and updated js/app/authSessionCoordinator.js, js/hashChangeHandler.js, js/viewManager.js, and js/app/feedCoordinator.js to use them. This improves maintainability and reduces the risk of typos in feed view names.

Three performance bottlenecks were causing slow list loading after NIP-07 login:
1. Each list service (blocks, subscriptions, hashtag preferences) maintained
its own isolated decryptionSuccessCache. When blocks decrypted with nip44_v2,
subscriptions and hashtag preferences had no way to know — they each had to
independently probe all schemes through the NIP-07 extension queue, tripling
the number of extension calls during the critical login path.
2. List loading was gated on both relaysReadyPromise AND permissionPromise in
the coordinator. Since the NIP-07 extension already grants decrypt permissions
during loginWithExtension(), the redundant pre-grant was adding 2-5 seconds
of unnecessary latency before any list fetching could begin.
3. The DECRYPT_RETRY_DELAY_MS was 10 seconds across all services. When a decrypt
attempt failed transiently (extension still initializing), the retry waited
far too long before trying again.
Changes:
- Create shared decryptionSchemeCache module used by all three list services
- Add fast-path: when shared cache knows the correct scheme, try ONLY that
scheme before falling back to parallel Promise.any() probe
- Remove permissionPromise from the list-loading gate in authSessionCoordinator
- Reduce DECRYPT_RETRY_DELAY_MS from 10s to 3s in all three services
- Clear shared cache on logout
https://claude.ai/code/session_013QrGMnxtMTsGTPqaP35jMj
Login with NIP-07 extensions was extremely slow because list loading
(blocks, subscriptions, hashtag preferences) happened sequentially and
each list's decryption tried encryption schemes one at a time.
Changes:
- Load blocks, subscriptions, and hashtags in parallel instead of
sequentially (blocks no longer blocks other lists from starting)
- Use Promise.any() to try all decryption schemes simultaneously
instead of trying nip44_v2 → nip44 → nip04 one-by-one
- Deduplicate same-family schemes (nip44/nip44_v2) to avoid redundant
extension calls
- Increase NIP-07 request queue concurrency from 3 to 5 to support
parallel decrypt operations during login
- Raise no-prompt decrypt timeout from 3s/5s to 8s since extensions
that have already granted permission still need time to decrypt
- Increase feed sync timeout from 8s to 12s to give lists more time
to settle before rendering unfiltered content

- Remove undefined hashtagPreferencesPromise reference in handleAuthLogin
that caused the feed sync Promise.allSettled to silently fail, preventing
proper list/profile synchronization before grid refresh
- Add missing getModerationSettings and getActiveProfilePubkey dependency
injection to authSessionCoordinator, fixing crashes during logout
moderation reset and profile switch pubkey resolution
- Parallelize NIP-07 permission request with relay readiness instead of
gating list loading behind it; parallelize subscriptions and hashtag
preference loading (independent of each other, only blocks must sequence)
- Add native run() alias to feedEngine so callers don't rely solely on
the applicationBootstrap compatibility shim
- Remove redundant refreshVisibleModerationUi call from renderVideoList
that re-decorated every video immediately after decoration
- Avoid re-normalizing moderation settings on every getActiveModerationThresholds
call when settings are already an object

Move cohesive method groups out of the monolithic Application class
(js/app.js, ~10K lines) into five coordinator modules under js/app/:
- feedCoordinator: feed registration, runtime building, refresh,
video loading, URL-health helpers, and feed telemetry
- playbackCoordinator: URL-first + magnet fallback pipeline, probing,
torrent status intervals, and video timestamp resolution
- authSessionCoordinator: signer lifecycle, profile switching,
relay/block/wallet management, and cleanup
- modalCoordinator: modal open/close, view-count subscriptions,
watch-history metadata, and playback logging
- moderationCoordinator: moderation settings, video decoration,
override/block/hide action routing
Each coordinator factory receives injected dependencies instead of
importing globals. Application retains thin delegator methods so all
public call-sites remain unchanged. Coordinator initialisation is
idempotent (via _initCoordinators) and supports both constructor-based
and Object.create()-based instantiation used by test harnesses.
All existing unit tests, lint checks, and syntax validation pass.
