tests/unit/searchFilters.test.mjs fed author:abc123 and expected
authorPubkeys === ["abc123"] with zero errors. The author filter now runs values
through normalizeAuthorValues (searchFilters.js): it accepts a 64-char hex pubkey
or a decodable npub1 and DROPS anything else (recording an error), because videos
carry HEX pubkeys and npub authors otherwise matched nothing. "abc123" is neither,
so it is correctly dropped → authorPubkeys empty + an error, contradicting this
happy-path test. Equally-strict spec_correction: use a valid 64-hex author so the
test exercises the intended normalization. Verified: # pass 4 # fail 0.
This was the LAST failure in a full per-file scan of all 392 test files (the
fail-fast runner had been surfacing them one at a time).
