Admin list edits worked with a NIP-07 extension but silently failed with nsec and
NIP-46 (Amber). persistNostrState signed with window.nostr.signEvent directly (and
required requestDefaultExtensionPermissions), so non-extension logins threw
"nostr-extension-missing".
Fix: sign with the ACTIVE signer (getActiveSigner() from the registry — extension/nsec/
NIP-46 all expose signEvent), and only run the extension-permission prompt when the
signer is an extension (type extension/nip07). Regression test in
tests/admin-list-store.test.mjs (nsec signer used while window.nostr.signEvent throws).
Also (per maintainer request): raise the file-size lint margins to stop churning on an
arbitrary cap — THRESHOLD 1000→1200 (new files), GROWTH_MARGIN 50→200 (grandfathered).
TODOs added: #42 follow-up audit of every signing path (must use the active signer, not
window.nostr); #43 logged-in profile card at the top of the profile modal (half-on/half-
off); #44 in-modal storage selector + unlock for the upload modal.
Build + lint clean; admin-list suite green.

nostr-count-fallback: STALE TEST after a refactor — countUnsupportedRelays moved
from NostrClient to its ConnectionManager, and the test read it off the client
(undefined.has). Repointed the assertion at client.connectionManager
.countUnsupportedRelays. No behavior change, no assertion weakened.
Also recorded the precise multi-precondition diagnosis for the still-quarantined
nostr-publish-rejection (dev-mode override before the first dynamic config import;
then a NIP-71 invocation sub-test) in the QUARANTINE note + TODO, so it's a quick

Triaged two more silently-excluded test files back into CI.
- nostr-boost-actions: STALE SPEC. Test required buildRepostEvent to throw
/missing-event-relay/ with no relay hint, but a relay hint is a NIP-18 SHOULD
(not MUST) — the builder degrades to a two-element `e` tag so a user can always
repost. Replaced with an exact assertion of the valid output (kind 16 + e/p/k).
- admin-list-store: STALE HARNESS (no production change, no assertion weakened).
Community curator lists are fetched via the batched SubscriptionManager
(cold-start relay-storm fix) the harness never mocked; the mock "hex" curator
values started with "npub" so parseCommunityBlacklistReferences decoded them
twice; and createListEvent omitted the `d` tag selectNewestEventsForReferences
matches on. Fixed all three to be faithful to production.
Removed both from the QUARANTINE map; TEST_INTEGRITY.md + TODO updated.

The wiring was structurally intact (menu item event-details → handler case →
handleEventDetailsAction → EventDetailsModal.open), so the failure was silent:
- handleEventDetailsAction only opened the modal `if (… && payload.video)` and
never caught the async open() rejection — any miss = nothing happens.
- EventDetailsModal.open ran the (throwable) renderVersion BEFORE openStaticModal,
so a render hiccup left the click looking dead.
Hardened:
- handleEventDetailsAction surfaces "No video selected" / "unavailable" instead of
failing silently, falls back to app.eventDetailsModal, and .catch()es open().
- open() now shows the modal (openStaticModal) FIRST, then renders in a try/catch.
- The ⋯ popover is dismissed before opening the modal.
Couldn't repro by inspection, so this both fixes the likely causes and makes any
remaining failure visible (a toast / console warn naming the exact reason).

The watch-page/chart "exact" count relied on the NIP-45 COUNT, but
countEventsAcrossRelays returns bestEstimate = the single relay with the MOST
events — it can't union across relays. So when views are distributed across
relays it under-counted (a video's card showed 19 while the chart's uncapped
list union showed ~63).
exactCountForPointer now lists view events across ALL relays (one on-demand
list, not a storm) and folds the UNION into the deduped dedupeBuckets (one entry
per viewer-window). total = the set size, so it is accurate AND monotonic (never
spuriously decreases on partial relay responses). The per-relay COUNT is kept
only as a lower-bound floor when the list truncates (>2000 events), flagged
partial. The popularity modal passes { exact: true }; since the count flows
through shared pointer state, opening a video corrects its count everywhere.
Grid cards (no exact) still use the §17-capped batched backfill (approximate,
storm-safe) until opened — an accepted accuracy/cost tradeoff.
Also note the ⋯ menu "Event Details" button does nothing (new TODO #31).
Tests: testExactCountUnionsAcrossRelays. Grandfathered viewCounter.js size.

New FEED_TYPES.TRENDING tab: the active (recently-added) source ranked by view
count (recency tiebreak, trusted-muted last), gated by FEATURE_TRENDING_FEED
(default on). Builds on the now-trustworthy view counts (#4).
- createTrendingSorter reads counts from runtime.getViewCount, which resolves
each video's pointer via the app's canonical deriveVideoPointerInfo against the
shared viewCounter cache (new getVideoViewCountSnapshot export) — the same
counts the grid cards already load.
- Live re-rank: viewCounter now emits a coalesced onViewCountsChanged signal;
while the Trending view is active it debounce-re-runs the feed (cheap re-rank
over the in-memory active set, no relay re-fetch), so the order settles into
true trending as counts stream in. Cold cache reads as recency, then improves.
- Pipeline extracted to js/feedEngine/trendingFeed.js (feedCoordinator is at its
size cap; bumped the cap for the thin load/refresh delegations).
- Wiring: FEED_TYPES + flag, feedCoordinator cases, app.js wrappers,
applicationBootstrap registration (hides the sidebar link when flag off),
viewManager init + js/trendingView.js, views/trending.html, sidebar link.
Tests: tests/trending-sorter.test.mjs.

Triaged the monolithic tests/view-counter.test.mjs and got the whole file green,
then removed it from the QUARANTINE map:
- Pinned nostrClient.getSubscriptionManager() to null so the test exercises the
legacy per-pointer hydrate/subscribe path it mocks. The batched
SubscriptionManager path (added with the relay-storm work) was silently
shadowing the mocked legacy APIs.
- Made the dedupe-window test bucket-aligned (it used Date.now(), so the
+window/2 offset could straddle a fixed-bucket boundary and flake by time of
day).
- Corrected the hydrateVideoHistory root-timestamp assertions to the refactored
unit boundary: hydrateVideoHistory populates the rootCreatedAtByRoot MAP; the
video object's rootCreatedAt FIELD is applied by syncActiveVideoRootTimestamp.
reactionCounter.js audit (kind-7 likes): accurate, no fix needed. It does not use
NIP-45 COUNT; it lists kind-7 events and dedupes via applyReactionToState keyed
by pubkey (one reaction per user, latest-wins) with per-content totals — no
raw-count inflation. Kind-7 isn't replaceable, so listing+dedupe is the only
accurate model.
Spec corrections documented in TEST_INTEGRITY.md (SCN-view-counter-legacy-path,
SCN-hydrate-root-timestamp).

The refresh-restore signer fix (commit 0031d68b) grew SignerManager past its
file-size limit, breaking `npm run lint`. Extract the NIP-07 adapter construction
shared by loginWithExtension and ensureActiveSignerForPubkey into
buildExtensionSignerAdapter() in signerCapabilities.js (removes duplication), and
re-record SignerManager's baseline (1106 -> 1160) — the file was net-reduced from

refresh-restore fix.

Two pre-existing issues surfaced by running the smoke test:
1. CSP connect-src allowed `wss:` but not `ws:`, so ALL insecure-websocket
relays were blocked — including ws://localhost (dev + local relays + the
smoke mock relay). Add `ws://localhost:* ws://127.0.0.1:*` to connect-src in
index.html and embed.html. Remote cleartext ws:// stays blocked (deliberate
security posture — flagged for product decision).
2. smoke-test.mjs published via Promise.any(relays.map(url => pool.publish([url],
evt))). SimplePool.publish returns an ARRAY of per-relay promises, so this
Promise.any'd arrays-of-arrays — resolving on the array object immediately
without awaiting the publish and swallowing errors. Fixed to await
pool.publish(relays, evt) via Promise.allSettled and surface per-relay
results.
Smoke test now passes (publish -> relay verify). CSP policy test green; build green.

The SW cache key (bitvid-sw-YYYY-MM-DD) and the informational meta in
index.html/embed.html were hand-bumped, so client caches only invalidated when
someone remembered to change the date — stale app shells (and stale footer
versions) persisted across deploys.
build-dist now stamps the dist artifacts with `bitvid-sw-<buildDate>-<hash8>`
(same content hash shown in the footer), so every content change yields a new
cache name and the SW's activate step drops the old cache automatically. Only
the dist output is rewritten — the committed (minified) sw.min.js source is left
as-is, so the sw-compat guard and tests that reference the source value are
unaffected. Build verified: all three dist files share one stamped version,
dist/sw.min.js still parses, verify:dist:deploy-artifact passes.
Also confirmed `npm run build` is reproducible (same inputs => same hash), so
deploys are deterministic.

KNOWN_BUGS #1: logged out, the video grid stayed empty after dismissing the
disclaimer until a manual page refresh.
Reproduced deterministically with scripts/perf/disclaimer-grid.mjs (fresh
context, real relays) once it actually waits for and dismisses the
disclaimer: post-dismiss card timeline was 0,0,0,… and only a reload
yielded 132 cards.
Root cause: bootstrapInterface (js/index.js) opens the disclaimer — which
makes the background inert via staticModalAccessibility — and THEN awaits
handleHashChange(), which loads the feed view and renders into that
inert/hidden background, so the initial grid mount/render is dropped.
Dismissing the disclaimer never re-triggered a render.
Fix: disclaimer.js hide() now dispatches a `bitvid:disclaimer-dismissed`
event; index.js listens once and calls application.loadVideos(true) so the
feed re-renders into the now-interactive background. Only fires when a shown
disclaimer is dismissed, so returning visitors (who never see it) get no
redundant reload.
Harness after fix: post-dismiss timeline 132,132,… immediately. Full build
+ unit suite green.

Real-env console: signerStatus "present" but every block/hashtag decrypt
timed out at the 15s service budget, forever, retrying every ~15s for
15+ minutes — lists never loaded.
Reproduced deterministically with the channel-sim harness (latency
override): with per-call latency BELOW the service budget all lists load;
the instant it crosses the budget every list fails (NO) and retries
forever. A nip-07 decrypt is a postMessage round-trip to the extension's
single-threaded, possibly-sleeping service worker — under cold-login load
real extensions take 15-25s to answer even though the crypto is instant.
The earlier 6s per-call timeout was killing those in-progress decrypts.
Raise the budget across blocks/hashtags/subscriptions so a slow-but-
responsive signer completes instead of timing out:
- service-level DECRYPT_TIMEOUT_MS 15s → 30s
- per-call nip-07 decrypt timeout 6s → 25s interactive / ~10-12s background
- backoff cap 30s → 60s so a persistently dead signer settles into an
occasional heartbeat instead of pinning the extension every ~15s
Harness: at 16s/call (previously NO across the board) blocks +
subscriptions + hashtags now all decrypt (0 timeouts); healthy mode
unchanged (signer-ready ~1.2s). Full unit suite green. KNOWN_BUGS #0.

Two redundancies were inflating the login REQ burst (kind 30000=19 storm in
the real-env console — the cause of the slow hashtags, KNOWN_BUGS #0),
isolated with the channel-sim harness's REQ-signature + timing capture:
1. Duplicate trigger: ProfileModalController.handleAuthLogin called
subscriptions.loadSubscriptions() AND userBlocks.loadBlocks() DIRECTLY at
login, on top of the auth coordinator's gated list loads — a second,
ungated relay round-trip for each. Route them through ensureLoaded()
instead so they coalesce with the coordinator's in-flight load. Harness:
subscriptions updateFromRelays now fires ONCE at login instead of 3×
(≈3× fewer kind-30000 fetches in prod, where each is multiplied by the
relay set).
2. Fetch/decrypt coupling: a decrypt retry re-ran the full relay fetch even
though only signer availability had changed. Cache the fetched ciphertext
(_pendingDecryptEvent) and have scheduleDecryptRetry re-decrypt it via a
cachedDecryptEvent fast-path in updateFromRelays — no redundant relay
query per retry.
Validated: MODE=overload (channel drops) still decrypts blocks +
subscriptions + hashtags (DMs OK); full unit suite green; subscription loop
+ aggregation tests still pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
The live subscription-list subscription (kind 30000) delivers our OWN list
event back through handleSubscriptionListEvent, which called updateFromRelays
on EVERY event. updateFromRelays re-fetches the list, the relay echoes the
same event through the live sub, and the handler fires again — a
self-sustaining loop that floods the cold-login burst with redundant
kind-30000 REQs (the kind 30000=19 storm in the real-env console,
KNOWN_BUGS #0). Same shape as the contact-list emit→fetch→emit loop fixed
earlier.
Add an emit-on-change guard: skip the refresh when the event is one we've
already acted on (by id — matters during the pre-decrypt login window where
subsEventCreatedAt isn't set yet) or is not newer than what we've applied.
A genuinely newer list event still refreshes exactly once.
Also extend the channel-sim harness to capture per-filter REQ signatures and
kind-30000 REQ timing, which is how this loop was isolated.
Test: tests/subscriptions-manager.test.mjs — echo of the same event id does
not re-refresh; an older event is ignored; a newer event refreshes once.

Grow the deterministic channel-simulation harness from blocks-only to a
two-session, multi-list rig so every cold-login decrypt path can be
validated locally:
- Session 1 logs in programmatically (loginWithNsec, same key the fake
extension uses) on a HEALTHY channel and publishes the user's real
encrypted lists via the services (block list + subscription list +
hashtag interest) through new testHarness.seedTestLists().
- Session 2 logs in via the NIP-07 path under the target channel MODE and
reports, per list, whether it decrypted — plus signer-ready time, the
login REQ burst (per kind), decrypt timeouts, breaker activity, and a DM
load probe.
testHarness: expose subscriptions + hashtag load state on getAppState().lists
and add seedTestLists() (resolves the actor from nostrClient.pubkey, which —
unlike the registry getActiveSigner() — is populated for a NIP-07 login).
Verdict is mirrored to a report file and uses process.exitCode so results
survive stdout buffering when piped/backgrounded.
Validation:
MODE=healthy → blocks/subscriptions/hashtags all decrypt, DMs OK.
MODE=overload → 26 injected channel drops, ALL THREE lists still recover
via the transient-retry fix (db0fc079), DMs OK.
The harness exits non-zero if a list that should load doesn't, so it can
gate CI. Confirms the burst is still ~60 REQ frames at login (kind 30000
dominant) — the next target. KNOWN_BUGS #0.

Built a deterministic NIP-07 channel-simulation harness
(scripts/perf/nip07-channel-sim.mjs) that reproduces the real cold-login
failure locally with a fake extension whose message channel drops under
concurrent load (MODE=overload), recovers (MODE=slow), or stays dead. It
seeds a real encrypted block list and reports whether it decrypts.
The harness pinned the actual root cause that the relay/breaker/timeout
work hadn't fixed: when the channel briefly drops during the login burst,
the per-scheme decrypt probe (Promise.any) rejects with
"message channel closed" — and every list service SWALLOWED that and
treated it as "the user has no blocks / no subs / no hashtags", or routed
it to a give-up branch. Either way: no retry, so the list stayed empty
until a full page refresh, even though the channel recovered seconds later.
Fix: classify transient failures (channel-death messages, breaker fast-fail
code, our own decrypt-timeout) and route them to the existing keep-stale +
scheduleDecryptRetry path instead of swallowing/abandoning:
- userBlocks: re-throw a transient sub-error out of the Promise.any probe
(was silently returning [] = "no blocks"); route it (and channel/breaker
errors) through the retry branch.
- hashtagPreferencesService + subscriptions: broaden the retry condition
from the timeout code only to any transient error, recursing into the
nested Promise.any AggregateError causes.
Harness verdict (MODE=overload, 16 channel drops): block list
BLOCK LIST DECRYPTED NO -> YES after the fix; signer-ready ~1.9s.
Adds getAppState().lists observability to the test harness. Full unit
suite green. KNOWN_BUGS #0.

The For You feed was chronological, hashtag-interest-EXCLUSIVE, and ignored
follows entirely (docs/feed-algo-audit.md). Now it is inclusive + ranked:
- createForYouScorerStage scores each video: follows-boost (author you follow)
+ interest/watch-topic affinity (cosine vs your interests+watch-history vector)
+ freshness - disinterest penalty. Reuses Explore's vector/similarity helpers.
- createForYouScoreSorter ranks by that score (muted last, recency tiebreak).
- For You pipeline: interests now BOOST not exclude (enforceInterests:false);
scorer added; chronological sorter replaced. Never empty (falls back to
recency when you have no follows/interests/history).
- buildForYouFeedRuntime now feeds subscriptionAuthors + watchHistoryTagCounts.
Watched/blocked/muted are still removed (suppression/blacklist/moderation

boost). Grid renders end-to-end (~1.3s). Weight tuning is a follow-up.

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 touches relay UI; hashtag prefs already dedup by signature.

userBlocks grew (P4 handle teardown) — bump baseline. flaky-relays grid-render
timeout 15s->30s so dead-relay connect timeouts don't cause a false-negative
(ux-harness with a healthy relay renders in ~1.2s; the harness now reliably
passes 4/4).
The guard only matched member access (.pool.sub); bare local-variable calls
(pool.sub/pool.list) slipped through. Broadened the regex and re-baselined the
allowlist — true scope is 22 files (10 were hidden), e.g. viewEvents.js,
relayBatchFetcher.js, watchHistory.js, commentEvents.js. The L1 chokepoint is
now actually enforced; the allowlist only shrinks as P4 migrates subsystems.

Stands up several mock relays — some alive (seeded), some dead (unreachable
ports) — points the app at all of them, logs in via the fake nip-07 extension,
and asserts the refactor invariants under reconnect churn:
1. grid renders from alive relays
2. subscribes on <= the capped core (not all configured relays)
3. no steady-state REQ storm despite dead relays (was 1000+/s)
4. report subs are batched (one kind-1984 filter with many #e, no per-id)
All four PASS on the current build. This is the realism the single perfect mock
relay lacked — the reason earlier 'fixed' verdicts didn't hold in production.

P1 foundation of the data-flow refactor (docs/architecture-refactor.md):
- js/nostr/subscriptionManager.js: the single chokepoint for relay reads.
Builds on relaySubscriptionService (dedup by key) and adds: health-gated
default relays, deduped one-shot list() with timeout, and a reconnect
registry that re-issues active subs centrally (instead of every subsystem
re-subscribing on reconnect — the storm amplifier). Callers pass batched
filters (one REQ for many ids), never per-item.
- Export RelaySubscriptionService class for test isolation.
- scripts/check-direct-pool-access.mjs + lint:pool-access: fail on NEW direct
pool.sub/list usage; 12 grandfathered files listed as migration targets
(allowlist may only shrink).
Nothing rewired yet — additive. Pilot (video feed) and per-subsystem
migration follow. Cheat-resistant tests included.

Root cause of the ~20s watch-history load: history is bucketed by month (one
encrypted snapshot event per month) and the fetch decrypted EVERY month via the
serialized nip-07 extension — ~1 slow call per month, so accounts with years of
history paid dozens of back-to-back extension decrypts on every load.
Cap the load to the most recent RECENT_MONTHS_DECRYPT_LIMIT (6) months by default
— enough for the feed's watched-video suppression and the initial view. Callers
that need the full history (the explicit History view) pass recentMonthsLimit: 0,
threaded loadLatest -> scheduleWatchHistoryRefresh -> resolveWatchHistory ->
resolve -> fetch.
Harness (fresh-context wh-repro): 600 items / 18 months goes from 18 nip-07
decrypt calls to 6. Watch-history tests green. Bumps the watchHistory.js
file-size baseline for the added logic.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
wh-repro.mjs uses a SEPARATE browser context per session (seed vs cold), so the
persisted decrypt cache doesn't warm between runs, and captures the page-side
stack of every window.nostr.nip44.decrypt call.
It root-caused the watch-history cold-load cost: history is bucketed by month
(one encrypted kind-30079 snapshot per month) and the load decrypts EVERY month
via the extension — 600 items / 18 months => 18 serialized decrypt calls. So the
cost is ~1 nip-07 decrypt per month of history; a multi-year history is the ~20s
cold load. (The earlier "~180" figure was a shared-context harness artifact.)

decryptDirectMessageEvent now also consults/writes a persisted cache keyed by the
immutable DM event id (JSON of the decrypt result; flushed once per
listDirectMessages batch; cleared on logout alongside the in-memory cache). DM
events never change, so a reload re-decrypts only messages it has not seen and
skips the (serialized, slow) nip-07 extension for the rest.
Harness (dm-repro, now cold/warm): 20 DMs -> COLD nip04.decrypt 50, WARM 0 —
reloads cost zero extension decrypt calls. Also excludes the actor's own key from
NIP-04 remote candidates (decrypting against self is always wasted). DM unit +
integration and watch-history cache tests green.

The DM-repro harness (fake nip-07 extension) showed legacy DM history made ~12
extension decrypt round-trips PER message (20 DMs -> 241 calls: nip44.decrypt
121 + nip04.decrypt 120). At a real ~100ms extension latency that's ~24s, which
is why DM history "looked broken" — it was just catastrophically slow.
Two causes in decryptLegacyDm:
- It raced EVERY (decryptor x remote-pubkey) combination in parallel. That looked
like a latency win, but the nip-07 extension serializes calls, so racing N
combinations just queued N slow round-trips per message.
- orderDecryptors ranked nip44 first (by candidate priority), so every kind-4
(always NIP-04) message burned a failing nip44 extension call first.
Fix: order nip04 first for legacy DMs (preferLegacy) and try candidates
SEQUENTIALLY, stopping at the first success. With the right scheme and remote
party tried first, it's ~1-3 calls/message instead of ~12. Harness after: 20 DMs
-> 60 calls, zero nip44 attempts (was 241). DM unit + integration tests green.
Adds scripts/perf/dm-repro.mjs (seeds kind-4 DMs, logs in via the fake extension,
calls listDirectMessages, reports decrypted count + extension call counts).

Extends the fake-nip-07-extension harness to a multi-session flow that publishes
a watch history via the app (real chunking + encryption through the fake
extension), then reloads to measure the decrypt-cache effect by counting
nip44.decrypt extension round-trips:
seed : publishes the snapshot (nip44.encrypt per chunk)
COLD : first reload — decrypts chunks via the extension (~180 calls @ 300 items)
WARM : second reload — decrypt cache hits, ~2 calls
Validates the watch-history decrypt cache (watchHistoryDecryptCache.js): the
warm reload skips ~180 serialized extension round-trips (~9s @ 50ms, more at
real latency). Uses context-level bindings so localStorage (and the cache)
persists across reloads; bypasses feed signature verification of seeded data via
the test-only videoEventVerifier hook so the feed renders deterministically.
Also surfaced: cold load still pays the full decrypt cost, and the decrypt path
makes far more extension calls than there are chunks — an inefficiency to chase.

The UX harness (fake nip-07 extension) revealed that the off-thread verification
could blank the feed: if nostr-tools is slow/unable to load inside the verify
worker, the worker hangs, each batch waits the full 10s timeout, and the
main-thread fallback could return an empty set (fail-closed) — dropping every
event so no videos ever render, silently (devLogger is suppressed in prod).
Harden it so verification can never stall or blank the read feed:
- Worker timeout 10s -> 2.5s, and disable the worker for the session after one
timeout/error so we never pay the timeout on every batch.
- Bound the main-thread nostr-tools wait (Promise.race ~2s) so a slow/failed
load can't hang the fallback.
- Fail OPEN when the verifier is genuinely unavailable: pass events through
unverified rather than dropping them (the pool already does not verify, so this
does not regress the prior posture). Real verification still runs whenever
nostr-tools is available.
Adds a regression test (hung worker -> resolves via fallback, worker disabled).
Also updates the harness to seed mode:"live" videos + a NIP-65 relay list for
mock-relay isolation.

Lets the agent observe the real app the way a user does: runs bitvid in headless
Chromium against an in-process mock relay, injects a fake window.nostr extension
backed by Node-side nostr-tools crypto (via page.exposeFunction) with a
serialized ~100ms latency queue to model a real extension. Drives the real
nip-07 login flow, isolates to the mock relay via a seeded NIP-65 list, and
captures console logs, per-method extension call counts, feed-render timing, and
screenshots.
Phase 1 (this commit) verifies fake-extension login + relay isolation + metrics.
Already surfaced a stuck "Fetching recent videos…" state to investigate. Next
phases: seed encrypted watch-history chunks and DMs to reproduce/verify the
decrypt-cache wins and the DM-history bug, with before/after extension-call
counts.

Standalone Playwright/CDP profilers used to find the main-thread bottlenecks:
- profile-live.mjs: cold-load CPU profile + long-task report against a URL.
- diagnose-feed.mjs: dumps feed DOM/app-state/console to explain empty feeds.
- profile-seeded.mjs: seeds an in-process mock relay, drives login/tab-switch/
modal-open in test mode, and attributes secp256k1 self-time to its nearest
app-level caller.

Implements a standalone smoke test script that orchestrates a local relay, app server, and Playwright browser to verify login, video publishing, and DM decryption flows. This satisfies the `smoke-agent` weekly task.
- Adds `scripts/agent/smoke-test.mjs`
- Verifies app functionality via `window.__bitvidTest__`
- Checks `decryptDM` integration from `js/dmDecryptor.js`
