+- `memory/architecture.md` — durable architectural decisions and constraints
+- `memory/conventions.md` — validated conventions not obvious from the code
+- `memory/lessons.md` — hard-won lessons and recurring landmines
+- `memory/decisions.jsonl` — structured decision records (one JSON object per line)

+## Write policy
+
+Agents MAY read everything here and MAY add candidates under `proposals/`
+(one file per proposal, named `YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md`, with evidence links).
+Agents MUST NOT edit `memory/` directly; trusted memory changes only through
+reviewed commits that promote a proposal.

+description: Use fleet-mcp tools for backlog, mailbox, landing queue, and area ownership. Do not use it to start sessions or push main.
+---
+
+Follow the fleet rules in `AGENTS.md`. Call the `agent-fleet` MCP tools for backlog, mailbox, landing-queue, area questions, and commits. Editing those files directly is also fine. Sandboxed Codex cannot write Git's index: use the `commit` tool (or `fleet commit -m "..." --area <id> -- <paths>`), not `git commit`. `submit: true` queues the landing and starts a drain. Go back to work. At your next natural checkpoint, `land_status` (or `fleet landq status <id>`) can report that submission. Waiting is optional. Do not infer the lander or the land result from silence. Other providers may use either commit path.
+
+If you installed this fleet, you stay on as the interpreter. Read `docs/agents/prompts/interpreter.md`. Run `fleet up` yourself. Talk to the session manager with `tell` and read replies with `hear`. Do not scrape the tmux pane, and do not send the user to a terminal. A routine yes you relay counts. Money, pushes, deploys, deletes, secrets, outgoing messages, and a bigger structural or directional change go to the user. Uncommitted setup files use `setup_commit`, not `git commit`. Workers do not start the fleet. `fleet crontab` stays unused unless the user asks.
+
+You may use this harness's own subagents for parallel research, investigation, test runs, or review. You coordinate edits in a worktree so subagents do not edit the same files at the same time. Landing still goes through your `commit` and the queue.
+
+To update the kit: `git pull` in `~/agent-fleet-kit`, reinstall, run `fleet update`, and restart agents after handoff if it says so. Do not re-run init to upgrade.

 ### 4a. Cloudflare/S3 upload-path gotchas (audited 2026-06-16)
 
-* **Two near-identical upload services exist** — `js/services/r2Service.js` (Cloudflare R2) and `js/services/s3UploadService.js` (generic S3). They share `buildR2Key`, `resolveUploadIdentifier`, and the magnet build but are *copies*. **Any fix to one must be mirrored in the other** or they silently drift.
-* **Storage-key collisions = data loss — FIXED 2026-06-16.** `buildR2Key` (`js/r2.js`) builds `u/<npub>/<namespace>/<slug>.<ext>` where `namespace` used to fall back to the literal `"uploads"` and `slug` to `"video"` (e.g. a non-ASCII filename, or no info-hash) — so a URL-first upload with no info-hash and a duplicate filename overwrote the previous object while the old note still pointed at that URL. WebTorrent uploads were always safe (info-hash namespaces the key = content-addressed). Fix: `computeStorageContentHash(file)` (`js/r2.js`) derives a content-based namespace when no info-hash is available (full SHA-256 for ≤512 MB, sampled metadata+edge fingerprint above that to avoid buffering huge files), wired into **both** `r2Service` and `s3UploadService`. Test: `tests/storage-key-collision.test.mjs`. **If you add a third upload path, reuse `computeStorageContentHash`.**
-* **Whole-file hash before upload.** When the modal doesn't pre-seed an info-hash, `resolveUploadIdentifier` runs `calculateTorrentInfoHash(file)`, which reads the *entire* file before the upload begins and before any progress is emitted — on multi-GB files this looks like a hang. Emit a "preparing/hashing" status or parallelize.
-* **Publish can report success unconfirmed.** `publishEventToRelay` (`js/nostrPublish.js`) has an optimistic-success fallthrough when the relay handle exposes no `on()`/`then()` — a note may show "Published" with no relay ACK. Don't tighten blindly (legacy `seen`-only relays rely on it), but log it.
-* **Silent partial failures.** Thumbnail and `.torrent` upload failures are caught and `warn`-only; the video note still publishes with no user signal. Empty (0-byte) files hit `CompleteMultipartUpload` with `Parts:[]` and surface a cryptic error — guard `file.size === 0`.
-* **Object cleanup (deletes/edits).** `R2Service.deleteVideoStorage()` removes the backing objects so "deleted" videos aren't left publicly downloadable. Contract to preserve: it's **best-effort and never throws** (must not block note deletion), it derives keys via `collectVideoStorageKeys()` and **only ever touches URLs under the owner's bucket base** (never external/3rd-party URLs), and it skips cleanly when storage is locked/credential-less. Wired into delete (`app.handleDeleteModalConfirm`) and edit-with-replaced-URL (`editModalController.handleSubmit`). Edit cleanup intentionally does **not** delete thumbnails (the new note may still reference them) and only fires when both old and new URLs are present and different.
+**Invariants:** `js/services/r2Service.js` and `js/services/s3UploadService.js` are near-identical copies — any fix to one must be mirrored in the other; storage keys must stay content-addressed (reuse `computeStorageContentHash` in `js/r2.js` for any new upload path); `R2Service.deleteVideoStorage()` stays best-effort, never throws, and only touches URLs under the owner's bucket base.

 ## 14. Playwright Agent Testing Infrastructure
 
-bitvid includes a test harness and fixtures that let Playwright CLI agents programmatically log in, seed relay data, and inspect app state — no browser extensions or real relays required.
-
-### Activating Test Mode
-
-Add `?__test__=1` to the URL, or set `localStorage.__bitvidTestMode__ = "1"` via `addInitScript`. This installs `window.__bitvidTest__` on the page.
-
-### Overriding Relays
-
-Point the app at a local mock relay instead of production:
-
-```
-?__test__=1&__testRelays__=ws://127.0.0.1:8877
-```
-
-Or set `localStorage.__bitvidTestRelays__` to a JSON array of relay URLs.
-
-### Test Harness API (`window.__bitvidTest__`)
-
-| Method | Returns | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|---------|
-| `loginWithNsec(hexKey)` | `Promise<string>` (pubkey) | Programmatic login, bypasses the modal |
-| `logout()` | `void` | Clear active signer |
-| `getAppState()` | `{ isLoggedIn, activePubkey, relays, ... }` | Inspect current state |
-| `getFeedItems()` | `Array<{ title, pubkey, dTag, hasUrl, hasMagnet }>` | Scrape video cards from DOM |
-| `waitForFeedItems(n, ms)` | `Promise<Array>` | Wait for N cards to appear |
-| `waitForSelector(sel, ms)` | `Promise<true>` | Wait for a DOM element |
-| `getRelayHealth()` | `{ relays, unreachable, backoff }` | Relay connection status |
-| `applyRelayOverrides(urls)` | `boolean` | Redirect relay connections |
-| `setTestRelays(urls)` | `{ ok, relays }` | Align relayManager + nostrClient to a deterministic relay set |
-| `setSignerDecryptBehavior(mode, opts?)` | `{ ok, mode, ... }` | Force decrypt behavior (`passthrough`, `timeout`, `error`, `delay`) for signer-based list sync tests |
-| `getListSyncEvents()` | `Array<{ source, at, detail }>` | Read captured sync timeline (`bitvid:auth-loading-state` + `userBlocks` status) |
-| `clearListSyncEvents()` | `void` | Reset captured sync events between assertions |
-| `waitForListSyncEvent(criteria, ms?)` | `Promise<Event>` | Wait for sync milestones (`status`, `reason`, `source`) |
-| `nostrClient` | `NostrClient` | Direct access for advanced use |
-
-### Mock Relay (`scripts/agent/simple-relay.mjs`)
-
-Start with `startRelay(port, { httpPort })`. Alongside the Nostr WebSocket protocol, exposes an HTTP API:
-
-| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
-|----------|--------|---------|
-| `/seed` | `POST` | Inject signed events (single object or array) |
-| `/events` | `GET` | List all stored events |
-| `/events` | `DELETE` | Clear all events |
-| `/health` | `GET` | Event count + connection count |
-
-Programmatic API: `relay.seedEvent(event)`, `relay.clearEvents()`, `relay.getEvents()`.
-
-### Playwright Fixture (`tests/e2e/helpers/bitvidTestFixture.ts`)
-
-Import `test` and `expect` from the fixture for tests that need the full stack:
-
-```typescript
-import { test, expect } from "./helpers/bitvidTestFixture";
-
-test("agent can seed and view videos", async ({ page, gotoApp, loginAs, seedEvent }) => {
-  await seedEvent({ title: "Test Video", url: "https://example.com/v.mp4" });
-  await gotoApp();
-  await loginAs(page);
-  // ... assertions
-});
-```
-
-**Available fixture values:**
-
-| Fixture | Type | Purpose |
-|---------|------|---------|
-| `relay` | Relay instance | Auto-started/stopped per test |
-| `seedEvent(video)` | `(TestVideoEvent) => Promise` | Create a signed kind 30078 event and inject it |
-| `seedRawEvent(event)` | `(any) => Promise` | Inject a pre-built event |
-| `clearRelay()` | `() => Promise` | Wipe all relay events |
-| `gotoApp(path?)` | `(string?) => Promise` | Navigate with test mode + relay overrides |
-| `loginAs(page)` | `(Page) => Promise<string>` | Login with deterministic test key |
-| `setTestRelays(page, relays)` | `(Page, string[]) => Promise<{ok, relays}>` | Force relay alignment through harness + relayManager |
-| `setDecryptBehavior(page, mode, opts?)` | `(Page, mode, opts?) => Promise` | Force signer decrypt behavior (`passthrough`, `timeout`, `error`, `delay`) |
-| `startDiagnostics(page, opts?)` | `(Page, opts?) => Promise<{stop()}>` | Capture console/page errors and list-sync telemetry for assertions |
-| `testPubkey` | `string` | Hex pubkey of the test key |
-| `relayUrl` | `string` | WebSocket URL of the mock relay |
-
-### `data-testid` Selectors
-
-Use these for stable element targeting:
-
-| Selector | Element |

 ## 16. Scenario-First Tests & Test Integrity (Dark Factory Standard)
 
-In this repo, **validation replaces code review**. That means our test/scenario system is the *only* thing standing between “working software” and “green-but-worthless software.”
-
-Agents will naturally optimize for short-term goals (e.g., “get CI green”) unless we constrain them. If we ever allow “edit tests until they pass,” we destroy the signal, and over time the suite becomes meaningless.
-
-### Core philosophy: scenarios > checklists
-
-We treat tests as **behavioral specifications** expressed as **scenarios**:
-- “User stories” / end-to-end behaviors (Given/When/Then or equivalent)
-- Assertions focus on **externally observable outcomes** at boundaries (API responses, persisted state, emitted events, CLI output, UI state), not internal call sequences.
-- We prefer *minimal coupling* to implementation details so refactors don’t require rewriting “truth.”
-
-(StrongDM reached the same conclusion: repo-local tests are easy to reward-hack; scenarios and satisfaction-based validation reduce “teaching to the test.”)
-
-### Non-negotiable constitution (anti-cheat)
-
-**Hard rules (always on):**
-1) **Never weaken, delete, or rewrite a test just to make CI pass.**
-2) **Never change expected behavior to match buggy output** (“rubber-stamp the snapshot”, “update golden”, “adjust assertion”) unless it is a **spec correction** (see below).
-3) Do not “fix” flaky tests with retries, sleeps, timeouts, or looser assertions. **Remove nondeterminism** instead (control time, randomness, IO, network).
-4) Prefer black-box assertions at system boundaries; avoid tests that merely mirror internal logic.
-
-### Definitions
-
-- **Scenario**: a behavioral spec (often end-to-end) describing what must happen for a user/system in a real environment.
-- **Invariant**: a property that must always hold across many inputs/states (great for property-based or metamorphic testing).
-- **Holdout scenario**: an evaluation scenario kept outside the agent-editable area to reduce overfitting / reward-hacking.
-
-### When tests may change (spec correction protocol)
-
-Changing a test expectation is allowed **only** when the test was enforcing the wrong behavior.
-
-If you believe a test should change:
-1) Identify the **scenario/spec** that defines correct behavior.
-2) Explain precisely why the old expectation was wrong.
-3) Replace it with an **equally strict or stricter** behavior-based check.
-4) Record a **Test Integrity Note** (below) and, if applicable, a short spec note (e.g., `docs/spec_changes/<date>-<slug>.md`).
-
-If you cannot point to scenario/spec truth, **do not change the test**. Add a “Needs Spec Clarification” note instead.
-
-### “Test Integrity Note” (required for any PR touching tests)
-
-Every PR that adds/changes tests must include this machine-readable block in the PR description (or in a `TEST_INTEGRITY.md` entry referenced by the PR):
-
-```yaml
-test_integrity_note:
-  change_type: ["new_tests" | "refactor_tests" | "spec_correction" | "flake_fix"]
-  scenarios:
-    - id: SCN-<slug>
-      given: "<preconditions>"
-      when: "<stimulus>"
-      then: "<observable outcomes>"
-  observable_outcomes:
-    - "<what the user/system can observe at the boundary>"
-  determinism_controls:
-    - "<fake clock / fixed seed / hermetic env / service virtualization>"
-  anti_cheat_rationale:
-    prevents:
-      - "hard-coded return value"
-      - "over-mocking internal logic"
-      - "snapshot rubber-stamping"
-      - "retry/sleep-based flake masking"
-  relaxation:
-    did_relax_any_assertion: false
-    if_true_explain_spec_basis: ""
-```
-
-### Test portfolio guidance (scenario-first, still layered)
-
-We want a balanced suite:
-
-- **Scenario/E2E**: user-story validation at boundaries (few, high value, high fidelity)
-- **Integration/contract**: service boundaries, serialization, persistence, workflows
-- **Unit/invariants**: properties that kill trivial cheats (“return true” shouldn’t survive)
-
-For cheat resistance, strongly prefer:
-- invariants/property-based tests for critical logic
-- metamorphic relations where “exact expected output” is hard
-- periodic mutation testing to “test the tests” (surviving mutants indicate missing assertions)
-
-### External dependency realism (service virtualization / “digital twins”)
-
-Where third-party services are involved, we prefer deterministic “behavioral clones” (mocks/stubs at the API boundary that reproduce edge cases and contracts) over live calls. This keeps scenarios realistic without being flaky or rate-limited, and it makes high-volume scenario validation affordable.
-
-### Role: Test Integrity & Scenario Spec Agent (Enforcer)
-
-This repo includes (or assumes) a dedicated agent role whose only job is to protect validation integrity.
-
-This agent’s goal is NOT “make CI green.” Its goal is “make the suite reflect reality and reject fake passes.”
-
-**Authority:**
-- May add new scenarios, invariants, and tests.
-- May refactor tests to be more behavioral and less procedural.
-- May improve determinism (fixed seeds, fake clocks, hermetic env).
-- May only change expectations via the Spec Correction Protocol above.
-
-**Prohibitions:**
-- Must never weaken tests to pass.
-- Must never edit holdout scenarios (if configured).
-- Must never solve flakiness via retries/sleeps/loosening.
-
-**Deliverables each run:**
-- Scenario list (Given/When/Then)
-- Proposed test diffs
-- Test Integrity Note
-- “Cheat vectors blocked” summary (what trivial implementations it prevents)
+**Invariant:** validation replaces code review in this repo — never weaken, delete, or rewrite a test merely to make it pass, and never mask flakiness with retries/sleeps/looser assertions. Expectation changes are allowed only via the Spec Correction Protocol with an accompanying Test Integrity Note.
+Read the full standard before adding or modifying any test: `docs/testing/test-integrity.md`.

 ## 17. NIP-07 Signer Reliability & Encrypted-List Loading (hard-won, 2026-06-16)
 
-The single biggest source of "DMs / hashtags / watch-history / block & subscription lists won't load after login" is **not** bitvid — it's an **unresponsive NIP-07 signer**. The extension's MV3 background service-worker can die or its content-script↔worker channel can orphan, after which raw `window.nostr` calls hang forever. No client change can force a dead signer to answer.
+**Invariant:** the #1 cause of "DMs / hashtags / watch-history / lists won't load after login" is an unresponsive NIP-07 signer, not bitvid — diagnose with a raw `window.nostr` probe first, and do not regress the five resilience invariants (capped relay fan-out, NIP-07 circuit breaker, re-thrown transient decrypt errors, generous decrypt budgets, lazy modal population).
+Full writeup: `docs/lessons/nip07-signer-reliability.md`. See also `docs/KNOWN_BUGS.md` #0.
 
-* **Diagnose first, don't guess.** Run a single raw `window.nostr` probe in the page console (`getPublicKey → nip04.encrypt → nip04.decrypt`) that bypasses bitvid entirely. If *that* hangs, it's the extension/environment. Recommend a well-maintained signer (nos2x, Alby); KeysBand's dead worker was the root cause and switching to nos2x fixed everything.
-* **Resilience invariants — do not regress these** (see `docs/KNOWN_BUGS.md` #0 for the full history and the files):
-  1. **Cap relay fan-out** (`js/nostr/toolkit.js` `capReadRelays`, ≤8, user-relays-first + 2 reserved default slots). An uncapped cold-login REQ storm to ~20 dead NIP-65 relays starves the single-threaded signer's postMessage round-trips.
-  2. **Circuit breaker** on the NIP-07 channel (`js/nostr/nip07Permissions.js`): after N consecutive *timeouts* fast-fail instead of hanging ~15s each. Channel-death errors must count toward opening (not reset it); interactive permission prompts bypass it; one periodic probe detects recovery.
-  3. **Never swallow a transient decrypt error as an empty result.** Re-throw channel-death/timeout sub-errors so the retry path runs — returning `[]` turns "signer is slow" into "user has no blocks/lists" and kills retries.
-  4. **Generous decrypt budget** (~25–30s/call, ~60s backoff cap); a 6s timeout kills slow-but-responsive signers mid-decrypt. Handshake variant timeout is ~20s for the same reason.
-  5. **One actionable user notice** (`js/utils/signerHealthNotice.js`) after a few timeouts with `signerStatus: "present"` — not a silent forever-retry.
-* **Don't render into closed modals at login.** Once a responsive signer makes decryption instant, eagerly populating every profile panel at login (friends avatars, subscriptions, blocks, DM summaries) freezes the main thread ~10–15s. Populate each pane lazily on open (`selectPane`) and gate data-change re-render listeners on "is the view open".
-* **Deterministic testing.** Reproduce signer-dependent bugs headlessly with a fake `window.nostr` (Playwright `exposeBinding` + `addInitScript`) + a mock relay + configurable channel models (healthy/slow/overload/dead, latency override). See `scripts/perf/nip07-channel-sim.mjs`.

+- `area_info` for the owner of a path.

+- `mailbox_read` at the start of a turn; `mailbox_send` to reach a peer. Mail is always delivered. The prompt says when to act.
+- `commit` to stage and commit in your area worktree. Codex `workspace-write` keeps `.git` read-only, so do not run `git commit` yourself. Pass `message` and the file paths (or `all: true`), and `cwd` or `area` when this server is not already in the worktree. `submit: true` also queues the tip. A doesNotOwn path warns and still commits. The same operation is `fleet commit -m "..." --area <id> [--submit] -- <paths>`.
+- `landq_submit` queues the committed tip and starts a drain. A dirty worktree warns; only HEAD is queued. Then go back to work. At your next natural checkpoint, `land_status` (or `fleet landq status <id>`) is a quick lookup, and its wait is optional. Never infer the lander or the land result from silence. States: queued, gating, landed with the main sha, rejected with the reason, or unknown. If no drain is alive, the answer says so and names `fleet lander start`.
+- A scarce machine is a prompt convention: say so in `.task` and wait if a peer has it. There is no slot lock.
+
+Sessions, worktrees, and cron are the `fleet` CLI. Submit starts the drain; do not run a second merge by hand.

 ## Testing & Validation: Scenario-First, Cheat-Resistant (Dark Factory Rules)
 
-You are operating inside a “Dark Factory” workflow where **validation replaces human code review**. Passing tests is only meaningful if tests are truthful.
-
-### Prime directive
-
-**Never alter a test merely to make it pass.**
-If you change tests to match buggy behavior, you are destroying the only feedback signal and producing code with no real-world value.
-
-StrongDM describes the exact failure mode we are preventing: agents discovering shortcuts (“return true”) and narrow tests being reward-hacked, leading to a shift from “tests” to scenario-based validation.
-
-### How to think about tests here
-
-Tests are not procedural checklists. They are **behavioral specifications**:
-- Write tests as **scenarios** (Given/When/Then or equivalent).
-- Assert **externally observable outcomes** at boundaries.
-- Avoid “testing the implementation” (internal call sequences, private methods, mirrored logic).
-- Prefer deterministic/harmonic execution: fixed seeds, controlled clocks, hermetic IO, virtualized dependencies.
-
-### Prohibited behaviors (reward-hacking patterns)
-
-Do NOT:
-- weaken assertions, broaden tolerances, or reduce coverage to get green
-- update snapshots/goldens without proving the change is intended behavior
-- add retries/sleeps/timeouts to hide flakes
-- mock so heavily that tests can pass with a broken system
-- “hard-code to the test” (single fixtures, single input paths, brittle constants)
-
-### Allowed test changes: Spec Correction Protocol
-
-You may change test expectations only if the test is wrong relative to intended behavior.
-
-Required steps:
-1) Identify the scenario/spec that defines correct behavior.
-2) Explain why the previous expectation was incorrect.
-3) Replace it with an equally strict (or stricter) behavioral assertion.
-4) Provide a **Test Integrity Note** (machine-readable) documenting the change.
-
-If you cannot justify a change with scenario/spec truth: **do not change the test**. Instead, output a “Needs Spec Clarification” note and propose candidate scenarios.

-### Additional E2E specs flake under full parallel load (pass in isolation)
+### `login-flows.spec.ts:149` — upload/profile buttons stay visible after logout
+- **Status:** Active — NOT merely a parallel-load flake
+- **Description:** Previously filed as a worker-contention flake that "passes deterministically in isolation." On 2026-07-28 it failed **in isolation** as well (chromium, local and CI `e2e-headless`), while passing in the CI `e2e-tests (e2e)` job — environment-sensitive, not load-sensitive. Direct probes of the same flow (raw `__bitvidTest__.loginWithNsec` → `logout()` against a mock relay) hide the button correctly, so the failure is specific to something in the Playwright fixture path. An attempted fix (running `applyLoggedOutUiState()` before the awaited NWC/profile teardown in `_executeAuthLogout`) did not change the outcome and was reverted rather than shipped unverified.
+- **Impact:** One e2e failure in `e2e-headless`; logout hides gated UI correctly in manual testing and direct harness probes.
+- **Next step:** Investigate alongside pre-launch TODO #33 ("logout logs out everyone" / NIP-46 session persistence) — same subsystem.

-- **Description:** Under the full `test:e2e` run (378 tests, 4 workers) these intermittently fail on `not.toBeVisible`/feed-appearance timeouts, but pass deterministically when re-run in isolation (`--workers=1`): `login-flows.spec.ts:149` (upload/profile buttons hide after logout), `video-upload-publish-lifecycle.spec.ts:49` and `:79` (URL-first publish appears / owner delete). Same root cause as the Firefox feed-hydration flakes above — worker resource contention, not an app regression (verified: pass in isolation on the current branch).
-- **Impact:** Full-suite e2e is flaky; isolated reruns are green.
+- **Description:** Under the full `test:e2e` run these intermittently fail on feed-appearance timeouts but pass on retry (CI marks them flaky). Worker resource contention.

 ### `webseed-playback.spec.ts:31` fails on Firefox headless (CDN mode)
-- **Status:** Active (pre-existing — reproduced on pre-refactor commit `1b11cb1b`)
-- **Description:** "plays directly from HTML link (CDN mode)" fails on `--project=e2e-firefox` with `#modalVideo` `src` empty instead of the test's archive.org URL. The Chromium variant and the WebTorrent-fallback variant (`:63`) both pass. Firefox-headless-specific (external URL reachability/codec), not an app regression.
-- **Impact:** One Firefox-only e2e failure; CDN playback works on Chromium and in manual testing.
+- **Status:** Resolved (2026-07-28, `f48150ed`)
+- **Description:** The test asserted the **final** `src` equals the CDN URL while simultaneously tolerating "No playable source found" in its status assertion — contradictory, because a failed hosted attempt calls `resetVideoElement()`, which clears `src`. Headless CI cannot decode the archive.org H.264 sample, so the cleared-src path was routine there.
+- **Resolution:** The test now records every `src` the player attaches via a MutationObserver and asserts the CDN URL was attached — the actual behavior under test. Green in both `e2e` and `e2e-firefox` CI jobs.
 
 ### `uploadModal-reset.test.mjs` ("UploadModal Reset Logic") hangs/cancels
-- **Status:** Active (pre-existing — reproduced on pre-refactor commit `1b11cb1b`)
-- **Description:** The jsdom-based UploadModal reset suite intermittently fails with `cancelledByParent` / "Promise resolution is still pending but the event loop has already resolved" (~12s hang). It passes or fails depending on full-suite test ordering/timing (an async-hang flake, likely a torrent-metadata/upload promise not settling under the mocked services). Not a regression from the MediaUploader extraction — it fails identically on `1b11cb1b`.
-- **Impact:** One unit suite can report `not ok 1`; the runner still exits 0. Other tests unaffected.
+- **Status:** Not reproducible (2026-07-30)
+- **Description:** Intermittent `cancelledByParent` / "Promise resolution is still pending" hang, order/timing dependent.
+- **Current state:** Passes cleanly (`pass=3 fail=0 cancelled=0`) in isolation and across repeated full-suite sweeps on 2026-07-28–30. Left on file because the original failure was ordering-dependent; if it recurs, capture the full-suite ordering that produced it.

+### Visual baselines are CI-canonical — local `test:visual` may fail the kitchen-sink diff
+- **Status:** By design (since `ab120a03`)
+- **Description:** `tests/visual/baselines.json` is regenerated on ubuntu-latest by the `update-visual-baselines` workflow (trigger: `workflow_dispatch` once promoted, or a commit containing `[update-visual-baselines]`). Baselines can only match one environment, and the CI gate is the one that matters — so a dev machine with different Chromium/font rendering may now fail `npm run test:visual` locally (typically the kitchen-sink default theme) even though CI is green.
+- **Workaround:** Run visual tests in the pinned container via `scripts/run-playwright-docker.sh`, or rely on CI. Never regenerate baselines from a dev machine.

+Mutation evidence: removing the product display/visibility exclusion causes this scenario to fail with the hidden control IDs in its focus list (exit 1, 1 failed/0 passed). Mutant reverted. This fixes expensive JSDOM style evaluation in the test harness, not a demonstrated browser defect. Application CSS/layout remains outside this unit fixture's scope.
+
+Fixture mutation: omitting native hidden-attribute filtering also fails the contract (exit 1, 1 failed/0 passed); restored before final checks.

+Original concurrent-promise, pool-ready and post-init no-throw assertions remain. The old empty connection result accidentally modeled failure; init correctly scheduled manager-owned retries that bypassed its client-level stub. The fixture now models successful init at the manager boundary and releases its feed subscription. This is harness cleanup, not a Nostr product change.
+
+Mutants: a test-local historical early-return init variant fails the pending-barrier assertion (exit1, 1 failed); a connection-failure fixture variant fails the no-retry assertion (exit1, 1 failed). Both exit naturally and are reverted. No product file was edited for either mutant.

+All existing assertions preserved. `tests/url-health-lifecycle.test.mjs` adds12 scenarios. Mutations are temporary edits restored before gates. `python3 /tmp/item4-mutants.py` final run:13/13 variants naturally exit1 with named assertion failures (no timeouts); logs `/tmp/item4-mutant-*.log`, results `/tmp/item4-mutants.json`. No production test runner/gate changes.

+Coverage grouping: no-unregister→last owner; cancel-shared→shared owner/cross-controller; reuse-cancelled-inflight→immediate retry/new inflight; cache-cancellation→last/shared owner/retry/mirror cache outcomes; mirror-fallthrough→cancelled primary; grouped stale guards→shared/active disposed UI (remove both redundant owner guards together; two equivalent variants); eager-callback-stale→registration reuse; no-eager-reveal→hidden reveal; concurrency-four→three-media cap/FIFO; reverse-mirrors→mirror ordering; break-legacy-consumer→callback compatibility; controller-local-records→shared cache ownership across controllers. Initial mutation pass exposed callback-emission and first-source gaps; new assertions were strengthened, then all mutants rejected. Initial no-unregister full-file run failed assertions but hung in another scenario awaiting its intentionally broken promise; final targeted last-owner variant naturally exits1. No timeout is counted as successful mutant evidence.

+- Clean-environment 60s/file run reproduced timeout. Per-scenario tracing then completed all 26 scenarios naturally in 57041.55ms; no blocked await or retained resource was found. Timing near the bound varies with cold/warm JSDOM style caches.
+- CPU profile of the Escape scenario points to CSS color/border normalization and computed-style resolution. The full markup has many controls; updateFocusTrap asks JSDOM for a full computed declaration for each control on repeated pane refreshes.
+- Fix only the stylesheet-free test fixture: virtualize display/visibility, with explicit fixture CSS and a new native-JSDOM contract scenario. Preserve every existing assertion and real controller, focus events, DOM and pane operations. No timeout/retry/sleep/runner or product change.
+- Regression compares fixture/native style filtering for visible, disabled, CSS-hidden, inherited-visibility-hidden, aria-hidden, and hidden-type controls, then checks actual Tab event focus wrapping.
+- Limits: fixture does not model application CSS/layout. This suite never loaded those styles; browser and build checks are not required for this test-only fix. No release, browser, signer, network or wallet qualification claimed.
+- Slowdown: initial cold worktree lacked dependencies; cached offline install resolved it. Native DOM assertion diffs made the first mutant diagnostic expensive; comparing control IDs yields a bounded useful failure. Tool improvement: show per-scenario start/end timestamps when a file exceeds its diagnostic bound, distinguishing slow progress from a blocked await.

That path attempts configured public relays and retains retries. Original subscription was also never unsubscribed.
+- Replace 50ms mock sleep with deferred entry/release barriers. Successful manager-level connection fixture prevents retries without disabling product retry logic. Pin timer absence with assertion; teardown resets as failure-path hygiene, not a success substitute.

+# client-reliability-3: queued probe ownership

+- Actual baseline at66832dc3 (source unchanged from filedAtf9adfc8f): actual attachHealthBadges + DOM + observer, four deferred probePeers calls active and fifth queued; disposing/removing feed then releasing active work starts one obsolete probe (expected0), assertion exit1.
+- Queue records own a Set of live card requests. onCardUnregister releases the matching request; only an unstarted job with no remaining owner can cancel. Cancellation resolves null, skips normalization/cache, and removes inflight synchronously. Promise finalization checks record identity so an old cancellation cannot delete replacement inflight work.
+- Active jobs are never aborted or removed from inflight on disposal; their normal cache result remains usable. Existing raw magnets/webseeds, four-slot concurrency, stable priority ordering, healthy/negative TTL remain unchanged.
+- Live-card membership rejects late observer entries. Each request also guards result writes by ownership/identity even while disposed DOM remains connected. Per-registration badge listener removal and idempotent disposer prevent stale callbacks or an old disposer unregistering a newly attached feed.
+- Existing cardObserver unregister hook is sufficient; no shared helper, URL health, WebTorrent implementation, app, cache policy, concurrency, styling, runner or kit edits.
+- Browser smoke uses actual built modules/native observers and fake external probe IO only; both Chromium and Firefox pass. No external request attempted. Hosted-only/torrent-only source visibility checked; real playback fallback, live torrent peers, CPU/RSS and active abort behavior unmeasured/out of scope.
+- Fixture correction before acceptance: use explicit viewport geometry so observer priorities are deterministic; initial unpinned JSDOM viewport reversed two fixture assumptions. No existing assertion changed. Eleven mutants independently kill the nine grouped lifecycle scenarios (details in integrity note).

+# Local review handoff — 2026-10-20
+
+Status: ready for owner local review with the known minor Upload overflow below. Owner subsequently authorized bounded active-probe/URL cancellation work;the active URL-media slice is now landed43cb1baf. New localpreview build08620a71 replaces prior6da89895:build/artifact exit0,hostHTTP200/indexbyteequalcmp0. Dispatch independently29/29 lifecycle;unchanged normal432-filegateexit0. Worker native Chromium+Firefox controlled media smoke passed and owned resources released. These use actual controller/observer/native src/load plus controlled state/HEAD/intercepted media IO and synthetic completion;pause is stubbed. Not full-app decoder/live playback or universal networkabort/byte/CPU proof. HEAD/HLS/torrent cancellation remains open. Closure/browser evidence durably2ea6f068;item8 done,team idle until next bounded scope.
+
+Open [the existing local preview](http://127.0.0.1:3000). It is already running; no terminal command is needed. The existing dispatch preview serves built `dist`. Current build08620a71 is from integrated43cb1baf. Historical core/mobile QA build6da89895 (an opaque artifact identifier, not a Git SHA) was produced from integrated unstableb1174163, including the cold-feed fix. HTTP200 and byte equality of served and built index were verified; runtime equality for final documentation descendants will be checked before handoff. Dispatch branch is area/dispatch. Final documentation landing SHA is reported in the owner handoff; runtime/build-input equality through QA closurec017069c was verified without rebuilding.
+
+## Changes available to review
+
+- Disposed feed owners no longer start obsolete queued torrent/URL media probes; an active failed media probe also cannot start an orphan mirror HEAD. Shared owners and active work retain existing semantics.
+- Fresh relay video updates now notify the current feed consumer, so a cold empty feed can render newly arrived eligible videos. Obsolete subscription callbacks cannot update a replacement feed.
+- Bucket CORS updates preserve existing rules and append only missing origin coverage. Unexpected reads cannot overwrite policy.
+- Storage cleanup safely skips malformed cached primitive fields rather than rejecting; R2 and generic S3 deletion share this service. Ownership boundaries remain enforced.
+- Actual playback fallback/magnet behavior and actual profile-history removal wiring now have regression coverage. The history behavior already worked; the new test catches the historical no-op implementation.
+
+## Evidence
+
+Latest unchanged normal gate candidate b1174163 completed successfully across432 configured test files, with empty quarantine and no shard. Durable landing and submitted ancestry were checked independently. Retained runner output contains432 unique starts; the stored gate result is a tail, not a complete install/process transcript, and its final stdout marker is absent. No suite or gate was weakened.
+
+Dispatch independently checked URL lifecycle18/18, CORS9/9, fallback4/4, malformed cleanup13/13, new real history wiring3/3, and cold-feed current-consumer notification7/7. Workers also recorded failing restored mutants, focused suites, lint11 stages, and normal full gates. [History evidence](../../test_logs/TEST_LOG_2026-10-20_15-41-00_client-reliability-6-landed.md) and [dispatch evidence](../../test_logs/TEST_LOG_2026-10-20_15-45-00_dispatch-review.md) retain exact scope.
+
+Before the fix, the actual-app reproduction was: cold Trending started from an empty cache, received three valid eligible local video events, and retained an empty DOM. Passive trace proves relay EVENT/EOSE, all client/app maps and filtered videos contain3, while view remainsEMPTY. Client7 fix landedb1174163 with active-consumer and stale-callback lifecycle controls plus regression coverage. The rebuilt artifact6da89895 renders all three cold-feed cards without a forced refresh. The controlled browser uses genuine cached Buffer and a genuine local VP8 fixture outside immutable app files, synthetic identity/notes and local mock relays. This does not qualify real signers, public relays or deployed CDN behavior.
+
+## Actual-app baseline and known finding
+
+Controlled Chromium154 on immutable build6da89895 completed Trending/Explore/ForYou/Home navigation, three-card hydration, synthetic login, Profile and Upload open/close, six Tab steps contained in each modal, exact trigger focus restoration, missing-title and missing-source validation, and no video publish from invalid forms at360×800,390×844 and1280×720. Feed cards/document fit those viewports. Genuine cached Buffer, real toolkit signature checks and local VP8 were used; public HTTP/WebSocket traffic was denied, with no page errors or local asset failures in these final runs.
+
+The original strict baseline stopped on Upload horizontal document overflow. It remains FAILED/open: document width362 at360px and394 at390px; no overflow at1280. Targeted follow-on coverage completed independently; critical inputs, Publish and Close remain horizontally inside the viewport and close restores focus. This is not a wholly passing baseline. Exact overflowing source element is not yet established; no speculative CSS fix was made. Some measured controls are below44px; real-device usability/accessibility review remains open.
+
+The browser, private app/relay servers and temporary dependency link were closed after the follow-on run at16:28:10.112UTC. The owner preview on3000 remains running.
+
+See [QA evidence and screenshots](../testing/playback-qa-2-final-evidence.md) for exact final and follow-on results, preserved failures and fixture provenance.
+
+## Suggested review in the browser
+
+1. At desktop and narrow mobile widths, browse Trending/Explore/For You, open and close Profile and Upload, and check keyboard focus and horizontal scrolling.
+2. In Upload external mode, check missing title and missing playable source errors. Avoid publishing or using real bucket credentials during this local review.
+3. Check playback source/fallback messaging with content you intend to test. Controlled fallback tests do not establish live torrent availability.
+4. Check history removal/clear and reload behavior using the account/signing workflow you intend to qualify; real account evidence is still open.
+
+## Remaining scope
+
+Actual full-app media playback/Firefox, real Amber/NIP46 account/switch/logout, encrypted relay persistence, live storage/IAM/provider behavior and concurrent CORS writes, real WebTorrent peers, production service-worker/offline/CDN behavior, real devices and manual release QA remain unverified. Known parallel Firefox hydration and isolated logout issues remain documented in KNOWN_ISSUES.md.
+
+Feed/view tombstone audit remains deferred as storage-cors-3. Public-promised playback backlog remains open: RangeGET health compatibility, persistence/per-host scoring, parallel startup, hover/viewport warmup, complete mirror/Blossom discovery, ranking/status and service-worker followups. Partial existing implementations are not whole-item completion. See [quality matrix](../../fleet/QUALITY.md).
+
+This milestone is local review/testing, not production readiness or completion of the broader roadmap. Workers idle after evidence closure; no push, deploy, spend, real cloud/account/peer operation or scheduler activation was performed.

+
+### 2026-10-20 — Resume bounded active-probe cancellation, relayed by interpreter
+
+> "Then continue with the active-probe/URL cancellation work." — owner, relayed by interpreter at20:44:41UTC; not represented as typed in dispatch.
+
+Route existing client worker to client-reliability-8: reproduce current active URL-media last-owner disposal through actual observer/controller entrypoints and controlled IO, with shared live-owner and fresh-rejoin controls. Measure resources, settlement, slot release, cache and stale callbacks before any fix. Start media before broader HEAD/HLS/torrent policy. Existing queued/orphan-mirror fixes are complete; active abort is not. Existing tests protect the previous queued-only contract; expectation changes require explicit routing and Test Integrity Note after evidence. No app.js/kit/scheduler/external/cloud/signer/push/deploy/spend authority. Other workers idle unless needed for bounded independent QA.
+
+### 2026-10-20 — Explicit local-review stopping milestone,relayed by interpreter
+
+> "Ready for me to review and test locally" — owner, relayed by interpreter;not represented as typed in dispatch.
+
+Finish current storage2/history6 gates/landings,faithful local actual-app/core/mobile baseline and preview refresh,then provide local-review handoff before declaring this milestone met. Do not clear optional roadmap or claim production/live Amber/cloud/peer proof. No new restricted-action authority.
+
+
+### 2026-10-20 — Continuing quality objective, relayed by interpreter
+
+> "ok try to keep them working until the project is in a good place." — owner, relayed by interpreter; not represented as typed in dispatch.
+
+Continue the existing robustness/usability backlog beyond the trial, with bounded evidence-first tasks and adaptive staffing. Local proof and real Amber/cloud/live-peer/manual release gates stay distinct. This does not add push/deploy/spend/real-wallet/production-data/scheduler authority or authorize new product definitions. Track current quality and next work in fleet/QUALITY.md.
+
+
+### 2026-10-20 — Bounded parallel trial, owner words relayed by interpreter
+
+> "id really like to stress test the multi agent process so if it needs more agents to get more done faster. do it" — owner, relayed by interpreter; not represented as typed by owner in dispatch.
+
+Interpreter requests executing dispatch plus up to3 workers now with disjoint worktrees/scopes. Routine launches are authorized; retain existing restricted-action limits. Trial measures acknowledged assignments, actual parallel evidence/checks, durable queued landings and contention, not process count.
+
+
+### 2026-10-19 — Roster-only bootstrap gate (session manager call, VETOABLE)
+
+The first approved worker is assigned to the pre-existing profile-modal test hang. Normal roster-before-launch ordering otherwise invokes that same hanging full-suite gate before a worker can investigate. For this one administrative roster/brief commit only, dispatch will use a temporary queue configuration whose gate verifies the exact committed change contains only the expected area registration and documentation/backlog metadata, with product code, tests, and persistent gates unchanged. No product fix is covered by this exception. Preserve normal full gates for subsequent code. Record the actual gate result and disclose the unresolved unit failure.
+
+### 2026-10-19 — Routine fleet authority, relayed from Codex desktop chat
+
+> "yes please approve whatever it wants and let me know about it" — owner, as relayed in this session from the Codex desktop chat; not represented as typed by the human in this terminal.
+
+The relay instruction received here explicitly authorizes operating tmux as the fleet interface, approving and starting the proposed client-reliability worker, and making routine staffing, local test/build, backlog prioritization, fixes, and local unstable landing decisions within the recorded goal without repeated approval. Keep the team small and scopes separate. This does not authorize deploys, spending, production data, real-wallet operations, or scheduler activation. Refresh the existing local preview after verified changes; send concise owner-mailbox updates for launches, assignment changes, landings, and blockers, including team size, areas, tasks, and verification. This supersedes the initial waiting state for first-worker approval only within that routine-work scope.
+
+### 2026-10-19 — Initial goal
+> "lets try to work our way through some of the issues in the TODO backlog and find and bugs and generaly make the client more robust and usable. ." — owner
+Applies to: all areas. Recorded by: dispatch.
+
+### 2026-10-19 — Conservative startup limits (session manager call, VETOABLE)
+
+No deploys, spending, production data, real-wallet operations, or scheduler activation. Present the first team for owner approval before starting workers.
+
+## Standing rules
+
+- Approvals for spend, publishing and deploys are typed by the owner in the session that acts.
+- Agreed work is never silently dropped: a priority change defers it; only the owner cancels, with a reason.

+
+## Wind-down (the session manager runs it; one message to every area)
+
+1. Create `<stateDir>/PAUSED` containing the reason and time. Scheduled jobs (except
+   restart) skip while it exists.
+2. Tell every area: "Wind-down: finish or park your current step, commit, merge
+   <main>, submit if green, update `.task` and your docs/TODO.md section, then stop
+   taking turns. If you have a scarce machine, say you are done with it in .task."
+3. Wait for each area's one-line report (SHA + state), then `node tools/fleet/bin/doctor.mjs`:
+   no DIRTY, no ONE-DISK rows, queue drained (`landq.mjs status`).
+4. Write docs/agents/RESUME-BRIEF.md (mid-flight table, held work, owner questions)
+   and land it.
+5. Stop sessions only if needed (`fleet down`); an idle session costs nothing.
+
+## Restart (after the reset)
+
+1. Remove `<stateDir>/PAUSED` (the restart job does it).
+2. `fleet up` (resumes every area by session id; the session manager last).
+3. Each area reads RESUME-BRIEF.md and its TODO section, reports one line if blocked.
+4. The session manager checks `doctor`, `landq status`, and picks up the loop.

+# {{project}} fleet — rules every session runs under
+
+> Copied into your system prompt when your session was created, and frozen there.
+> The file on disk (docs/agents/prompts/COMMON.md) and PROGRAM.md win whenever they
+> differ: your context is a snapshot, the files are the truth. Re-read a rule from
+> disk before acting on it.
+
+You are one of several coding-agent sessions working on {{project}} in one shared
+repo. Each session owns one AREA, one worktree and one branch. Your area's half of
+this prompt follows. When this half and your area's half disagree, the area half
+wins; when either disagrees with the owner's written words, the owner wins.
+
+## Who is who
+
+- **The owner** is the human. Their words are the rulings, recorded with date and
+  quote in docs/agents/PROGRAM.md. Quote them; never paraphrase them stronger.
+- **The session manager** ({{dispatcher}}) keeps the goal, staffs as few agents as
+  the work needs, and routes an ask that has no owner yet. It does not do your
+  work and it is not in every conversation.
+- **The interpreter** is the user's own agent. It relays the user to the session
+  manager. A routine yes it passes on counts. It cannot approve spend, a publish,
+  a deploy, a delete, a secret, or an outgoing message.
+- **Peers** are the other areas. Talk to the peer that owns the other half of a
+  problem DIRECTLY; do not route routine messages through the session manager.
+
+## Who decides
+
+1. The peer who owns the other half. Talk to them directly.
+2. If you still disagree, or a new area may be needed, the session manager.
+3. If it is a ruling, a spend, a deploy, or a new area, the owner.
+
+Areas:
+{{peers}}
+
+## Start of every session, and of every new item
+
+1. Read docs/agents/PROGRAM.md, docs/agents/RESUME-BRIEF.md (after a restart), your
+   area's entry in docs/TODO.md and your `.task`.
+2. Read your mailbox (see MESSAGING below). Reading takes the messages out of
+   unread. A pane line that says you have new fleet mail is only a wake; the
+   mail is the message. Reply to the sender with your next action.
+3. Re-read `fleet/RULE-CHANGES.md` newest first. Those lines override this
+   prompt when they disagree. Do this again before every new backlog item.
+4. `node tools/fleet/bin/backlog.mjs next --area {{area.id}}` lists your open
+   items. Pick by the priorities in PROGRAM.md. Claim the one you pick
+   (`backlog claim --area {{area.id}} --id <id>`). That write marks it
+   in-progress. Take another area's item only after asking that area. A blocked
+   or done item is yours to judge; the tool will not refuse it. Before you start,
+   check it still applies at HEAD. `filedAt` is the commit it was filed against.
+   "Already fixed at <sha>" is a valid close. Idle is a correct state when nothing
+   is assigned. When you finish an item and your tree is clean and landed, pick
+   the next one yourself.
+
+## The tree
+
+- Work only in your own worktree ({{area.worktree}}) on your branch ({{area.branch}}).
+  Never touch another worktree's files or another session's processes.
+- Commit, then MERGE {{mainBranch}} into your branch. Never rebase, never rewrite
+  shared history. Run your checks on that merged tree.
+- `git add` files BY NAME. Never `git stash` bare: the stash stack is shared by
+  every worktree of the repo.
+- Sandboxed Codex (`workspace-write` keeps `.git` read-only) must not run
+  `git commit`. Use the fleet `commit` tool instead: MCP `commit` with `message`
+  and the file paths (or `all: true`), from this worktree (`cwd` if the server
+  is not already here). The CLI is `fleet commit -m "..." --area {{area.id}} -- <paths>`.
+  `submit: true` or `--submit` also queues the landing. Other providers may use
+  `git commit` or that tool. A path in your doesNotOwn list is committed with a
+  warning. Never commit on {{mainBranch}} or in the main checkout.
+- Never `rm` a path held in a variable (`rm -rf "$DIR"` with DIR empty or wrong is how
+  trees get deleted). Delete scratch directories you made, by literal path, when your
+  run exits.
+- **Land through the queue:** `node tools/fleet/bin/landq.mjs submit` (or `commit`
+  with `submit`). Each submit starts a drain. The drain merges queued tips onto
+  {{mainBranch}} in order, runs `{{gate}}` once per batch, and exits. A lock keeps
+  two drains from merging at once. Never push {{mainBranch}} yourself.
+- After you submit, go back to work. At your next natural checkpoint, look the
+  submission up if you need the result: MCP `land_status` or
+  `fleet landq status <id>`. That lookup can wait (`wait: true` or `--wait`,
+  default 120 seconds, max 600) but waiting is optional. Never infer the lander
+  or the land result from silence. States are `queued`, `gating`, `landed`
+  (with the main sha), `rejected` (with the reason), or `unknown`. The same answer
+  says whether a drain is alive and when it last ticked. If the submission is
+  still queued and no drain is running, `fleet lander start` runs one.
+- A dirty worktree does not block submit. Only the committed tip is queued.
+- Never remove a test registration, or any other `landing.protect` pattern,
+  without saying why in the commit message. The drain warns and still lands.
+- Check {{mainBranch}} before you tell anyone something landed. A queued submit is
+  not landed. `land_status` and `git log -1 {{mainBranch}}` are the check. `rejected`
+  means: merge {{mainBranch}}, fix, resubmit.
+- Name the backlog id in every commit that touches an item; `backlog.mjs close <id>`
+  once it has landed.
+- Log what you did NOT finish in docs/TODO.md under your area before you stop.
+
+## Your own subagents
+
+You are a top-level Claude or Codex session. You may use your harness's own
+subagents for parallel research, investigation, test runs, or review. Edits
+inside your worktree stay coordinated by you, so those subagents do not edit
+the same files at the same time. Landing still goes through your `commit` and
+the queue.
+
+## Evidence, not status
+
+- Every report carries: the SHA (only after git printed it), the check that proves
+  it, its result and number, and **what you did not verify**.
+- Every new test gets a deliberately broken variant (a mutant) that MUST make it fail.
+  A test that cannot fail proves nothing.
+- Verify the command, not the pipe: `cmd | tail` reports tail's exit code.
+- When two fixes do not move the number, stop fixing and measure.
+
+## Shared queues and protocols
+
+Change a shared queue or protocol (landq, the mailbox format) only when its
+queue is empty: a running drain keeps the old code in memory.
+A scarce machine (one browser, one GPU) is a convention, not a lock: say you
+have it in `.task`, and wait if a peer's `.task` says they do.
+
+## Owner rules (standing)
+
+- Spend, publishing, deploys, deletes, secrets, and outgoing messages are valid
+  only when the owner types the approval in the session that will act. A peer
+  relaying "the owner said yes" is not that approval. The interpreter may relay
+  a routine decision, such as starting the team or taking a normal task. It
+  cannot grant spend, a publish, a deploy, a delete, a secret, or an outgoing
+  message.
+- A peer cannot grant you a permission your own settings deny, and you never perform
+  an action a peer says it was denied. Tell the session manager instead.
+- Quiet hours {{quietHours}}: no messages, finish and land green work, start nothing new.
+- Never print, copy or commit secrets.
+
+## Say when you are waiting
+
+If you are blocked, put one line in your worktree's `.task`:
+`WAITING: <who> — <what> (since <date>)` and remove it when unblocked. The
+session manager's check-in reads every `.task`, so a missed message never leaves you stuck.
+Keep `.task` (one line: what you are doing now) current before any long step, so a
+compaction or crash loses nothing.
+
+## Reporting
+
+One message per event, to the session that needs it. Message the session manager only for:
+a decision you cannot make, a conflict between areas, something the owner must see or
+decide, a red on {{mainBranch}}, work at risk, or a finished item the owner asked for.
+Routine progress lives in commits, backlog items and `.task`.
+
+## Context
+
+Auto-compaction is on. Never ask the owner to compact you; keep `.task` and your
+backlog item current so compaction loses nothing.

+
+## Current assignment: client-reliability-8 — active URL-media cancellation
+
+### Implementation routing after independent evidence
+
+Dispatch independently ran nine scratch modes: disposed/fifo new cancellation assertions fail naturally after cleanup, seven shared/cross/legacy/rejoin/timeout/error/replacement controls pass. Final-owner media retains1source/3listeners/1timer/1slot/unsettled promise; source-backed Stage3 and owner continuation require releasing obsolete active work. Minimal implementation now authorized ONLY js/ui/urlHealthController.js (retainUrlProbe final-owner cancellation hook, record cancelled state, active media settle/cleanup) plus tests/url-health-lifecycle.test.mjs and unique integrity/spec/evidence notes. Existing observer/cache/HEAD/HLS/torrent/app modules remain read-only. Supersedes investigation-only prohibition for this boundary.
+
+Use existing cancellation paths to settle null, suppress cache/mirrors/stale badge writes, release slot and advance FIFO once. Mark cancelled record unavailable synchronously for same-turn rejoin; old settlement must never remove/paint/cache over replacement. Test both immediate same-turn rejoin and rejoin after microtask, sharing before final release, cross-controller sharing, ownerless legacy consumers, queued competition/FIFO, replacement identity, late success/error/timeout callbacks and cleanup idempotence. Clean src/listeners/timer and pause/load boundary; do not force exit or wait for original timeout. Preserve live-owner healthy/offline caching and normal timeout/retry, shared work, slot cap/FIFO and previous queued/mirror guards.
+
+Explicit spec correction permitted for active-disposed success/offline-cache and disposed-timeout/rejoin expectations ONLY: the old queued-only contract intentionally allowed completed work after disposal; new owner instruction plus Stage3 requires immediate active media cancellation once final registered owner leaves. Replace these with equally strict resource cleanup/null settlement/no cache/no mirrors/no stale writes/fresh replacement assertions; keep separate live-owner success/error/timeout controls. Record Test Integrity Note (spec_correction and new_tests, exact old→new contract/spec source, any did_relax explanation honest) and unique spec change note; do not silently delete scenarios. Every new scenario needs a restored mutant that fails naturally. Mutants must reject disabled cancellation, retained source/listeners/timer, cache-on-cancel, lost shared owner, stale inflight deletion, FIFO disruption as applicable. Report surviving mutants instead of weakening assertions.
+
+Focused real lifecycle/adjacent URL/controller/observer checks and lint now. No browser/full/build yet; request slot when focused results/mutants/lint and merged-tree candidate are ready. Normal unchanged full gate and durable landing/ancestry required before closure. Send READY with files/counts/mutants/contract diff and unverified scopes. No wider Stage3 claim; actual browser/network/HEAD/HLS/torrent remain unverified. Dispatch will coordinate final validation and preview.
+
+Owner exact continuation recorded in PROGRAM supersedes the review idle hold only for this bounded slice. Read RULE-CHANGES newest first, PROGRAM, KNOWN_ISSUES, performance-efficiency-plan Stage3 and test-integrity before work. Claim item8 on integrated current unstable after this coordination commit lands; merge, never rebase. First investigate actual URL observer→controller active media last-owner disposal with controlled external IO. No product or committed-test edits yet; scratch reproduction and unique evidence only. No full/build/browser until explicit slot grant; cheap focused checks allowed.
+
+Measure resource/listener/timer retention, promise settlement, active slots and queued FIFO progress, inflight/cache identity, stale badge writes before/after disposal and controlled completion/timeout. Compare shared visible live owner, cross-controller shared cache if applicable, fresh owner/rejoin before/after cancellation, later same-source request, and legacy ownerless callbacks. Do not treat missing AbortSignal alone as proof; use real ownership entrypoints, actual media cleanup and controlled IO. Report current HEAD, exact commands/counts, baseline and controls, proposed smallest fix boundary and which existing assertions would change. Existing active-success/offline-cache/timeout expectations protect previous queued-only scope; preserve tests now and propose explicit contract correction/integrity note rather than silently weakening them. Cancellation must eventually avoid negative cache, stale UI and deleting a replacement inflight record; live shared owners must continue to get results. Preserve cache, concurrency, FIFO, callback compatibility and existing queued cancellation/orphan mirror guards.
+
+Start URL-media only. HEAD/HLS/torrent read-only context if necessary; report evidence before broadening. No app.js/services/nostr/kit/runner/config/styling/scheduler/external/cloud/signers/push/deploy/spend. Storage and QA remain idle unless separately assigned. Send read/next-action then reproduction/controls; await explicit minimal-fix routing after dispatch independently confirms. Done for investigation = measured current behavior and scoped proposal, not active-abort completion. Dispatch owns preview refresh after verified product landing.

+## Archived completed assignment: client-reliability-7 — cold feed live notification blocker
+
+QA actual-app passive reproduction at386cc60e: fresh Trending/cache0, local relay delivers3 valid signed VIDEO events+EOSE; raw/all/active/appvideo maps3,actual filtered3 and every access/include true,whitelist/lockdown false. Connected visible view remains current0/rendered0/signatureEMPTY/DOM0 after15s;metadata reasoncache. Service emits videos:cache3 then videos:updated(subscription3),but app refresh owner is onVideos callback. Source loadVideos cache/optimistic paths call onVideos;live subscription branch does not. This is a demonstrated local-review blocker,not optional work.
+
+Temporary item ownership: ONLY js/services/nostrService.js loadVideos live-subscription notification path plus minimal service-owned current-consumer state/subscription-clear lifecycle if needed to prevent stale consumer delivery;new focused regression (prefer tests/nostr-service-live-feed-notification.test.mjs),unique integrity/evidence/backlog. Read app/feed/bootstrap and existing tests;do not edit them or sharedTODO without routing. No app.js,cache/filter policy,signer/protocol,runner/config/kit/styling changes. Current service area exclusion is overridden only for this method/item.
+
+Merge unstable non-destructively,claimitem7,read currentrules/KNOWN_ISSUES/test-integrity/localNIP/schema docs. Before edits reproduce actual service coldcache→controlled subscribeVideos callback→actualonVideos consumer notification absent;prove cache0 theneligible updates/deletion callbacks,not event-string assertions. Preserve filtered full-list ordering,deleted updates,tombstone removal,existing videos:updated payload and persistence,callbackthrow isolation/no event loss,optimistic/cache semantics. Reused subscription must notify latest consumer after subsequent load/feed switch; forceFetch/clear must not let late obsolete callbacks notify old or replacement consumers. Include event-only consumer compatibility; do not blindly close over first onVideos. After natural failing regression,implement smallest method-only callback delivery fix and restored failing mutants. Retain no product-policy change or forced refresh substitute.
+
+Cheap focused tests and lint now;no browser/full/build until slot grant. QA owns actual-app execution and will verify cold feed plus original core/mobile baseline after durable fix/preview rebuild. Send reproduction/controls/files before widening;ready event with focused counts/mutants/lint. One unchanged normal full gate can be authoritative after merged focused/lint;avoid duplicate full solely for logs. Normal commit/merge/queue/ancestry/closure rules apply. No external operations/newoptional tasks;idle once local-review blocker is closed.
+
+## Archived completed assignment: client-reliability-6 — retain actual history wiring regression
+
+Investigation complete:actual profile→real renderer→DOM remove→real controller/service works locally and through fake synced publish/read. Historical no-op override resurrects removal while existing profile27 tests still pass (worker evidence). Dispatch independently ran local/synced actual wiring exit0 and historical-noop local exit1 after cleanup. No current product failure established.
+
+Test-only retention now authorized: own new tests/profile-history-removal-wiring.test.mjs plus unique integrity/evidence/backlog. No product or existing profile-suite edits. Use actual profile config/factory,renderer,DOM remove,controller/local service;fake only persistence/publish IO and metadata boundaries. Retain local delete+clear+renderer recreation,zero local publishes;synced remove reduced-list replace:true/actor/real recreation through fake publish/read;separate assertions catch historical no-op. Explicitly distinguish any not-yet-proven synced-clear path and report real failure before product routing. Fixture cleanup restores globals/app/module state and blocks network/signers/relays. No source-string or merely config-presence test.
+
+New scenarios need restored failing mutants (historical no-op must kill real wiring cases);no sleeps/retries/expectation weakening. Relevant focused lower-layer/profile suites and lint;request full normal slot after ready. QA now gets bounded actual-app mobile browser baseline after old QA gate ends,so no browser/full/build until dispatch grant.

Send ready/blocker/landing/final events.
+
+## Archived completed assignment: client-reliability-5 — prevent orphaned mirror continuation
+
+Investigation at0c1dd7e8 found a narrow defect, independently reproduced by dispatch at47953970 (administrative roster only): after last-owner disposal during active primary media, primary error starts1 fresh mirror HEAD(expected0). /tmp/bitvid-dispatch-5-active-url.mjs mirror-disposed --expect-no-obsolete-head exits1 after cleanup/retry; mirror-shared control exits0/healthy,resources0/slots0. Bounded active retention/success caching itself is intentional and not a defect.
+
+Implement controller-only lifecycle guard before next mirror request: temporary ownership js/ui/urlHealthController.js, focused tests/url-health-lifecycle.test.mjs and your unique integrity/evidence notes. Existing ownership hook is sufficient. Do not change observer/app/shared cache/HEAD-media-HLS-torrent abort,TTLs/limits/mirror order. Ensure cancellation settles with explicit cancelled outcome, no negative cache, no stale UI or newer inflight deletion. Preserve shared/rejoining live owners and ordered mirrors, active healthy cache and normal timeout/retry behavior. No competing writers: storage-cors owns only storage helper; playback-qa product read-only.
+
+Read current rules/test integrity before edits; retain actual observer/controller/cache regression with controlled external IO and mock clock, no sleeps/retries. Test disposed active failure starts0 mirror HEAD; shared/rejoin owner continues; active success cache,timeout/retry and inflight identity preserved. Every new scenario needs reverted failing mutant. Relevant focused tests/lint/build; coordinate full suite/normal queue through dispatch before expensive run (roster full gate currently underway). QA initially owns shared browser: do not launch browser until dispatch allocates it; request availability and use only your own server/port. No blanket prior-suite reruns for administrative edits. Commit item5, merge unstable (never rebase), unchanged gate/durable ancestry before close. CLI/agent/lander launch must unset inherited NODE_TEST_CONTEXT test transport (operational environment correction, no assertion/gate change). Send blocker/product landing/final events with exact checks/counts/gaps. Dispatch owns preview3000 refresh. No subagents/kit/scheduler/external operations. Continue next actions via dispatch routing under existing owner direction.
+
+## Archived investigation: client-reliability-5
+
+Interpreter checkpoint2026-10-20 confirms continuing development under existing direction. Claim item5 after non-destructive merge of unstable. Read RULE-CHANGES, KNOWN_ISSUES, PROGRAM, and performance-efficiency-plan Stage3. Items3/4 are completed: queued torrent/URL cancellation shipped; do not repeat their full qualification.
+
+Investigate active URL/torrent probe lifecycle at HEAD. Start with actual URL observer→controller last-owner disposal during active media work; compare a shared live-owner control, completion/cleanup and a later same-source request. Controlled external fetch/media events only; no public traffic. Measure active resource retention, settlement, slot release and stale/cache effects before disposal, after disposal and after controlled completion. Distinguish bounded timeout behavior and intentional active caching from a demonstrated resource/lifecycle defect; missing AbortSignal alone is insufficient. Inspect active HEAD/HLS/torrent read-only only if needed to identify the smallest next defect. No assumption the old plan is current.
+
+Investigation/evidence only: no product edits, no committed regression changes, no policy/limits/TTL tuning. Scratch diagnostics and your evidence/backlog notes permitted. Send dispatch exact HEAD, reproduction command, expected/actual counts, failing assertion/natural exit after cleanup, shared-owner control, smallest proposed fix files and acceptance. Dispatch will independently assess and route implementation. If no defect reproduces, report an evidence-backed next TODO candidate rather than speculate or silently stop. Preserve dirty/queued work. No subagents needed. No deploy/push/spend/wallet/production-data/scheduler/kit changes; preview3000 preserved. Mailbox event on blocker and completed investigation. Archived briefs below are historical, not new work authorization.
+
+## Archived completed assignment: client-reliability-4 — queued URL probe fix
+
+Investigation is complete: at4c54858c real observer/controller/cache gives4 HEAD requests,3 active media probes and1 queued. Dispose/remove last feed then release a slot: obsolete media starts1(expected0); --expect-fixed naturally fails exit1 after cleanup. Shared live-owner control passes exit0, healthy badge, settled4/active0/queued0. Dispatch independently reproduced both against dispatch code at604c8c61 using /tmp/bitvid-dispatch-4-url-lifecycle.mjs. No public IO. Your detailed investigation evidence remains authoritative for fixture details.
+
+Implementation now authorized for item4. Temporary explicit ownership: js/urlHealthObserver.js, js/ui/urlHealthController.js, focused URL lifecycle tests, relevant existing URL health tests, Test Integrity Note and area evidence/backlog notes. Use existing onCardUnregister boundary. No shared cardObserver/VideoListView/app/state-cache module changes without evidence and routing. No HEAD/active media abort, HLS/torrent changes, cache policy/TTLs, mirror order, concurrency, signers, kit or styling changes. Existing callback consumers must remain compatible without editing app.js. If that cannot work safely, report before broadening.
+
+Before edits read current rules and test-integrity standard, merge unstable and preserve investigation notes. Retain a real observer→controller→queue regression with controlled external IO. Cancel queued work only after its last live owner disappears; settle cancellation without negative cache, mirror fallthrough, stale UI mutation or deleting newer inflight records. Preserve live shared owners and existing event/source/playable-mode dedup; later same-source registrations can retry. Keep three-media concurrency and healthy hidden-card reveal. Already-active probes retain prior lifecycle/cache behavior.
+
+Verify last-owner obsolete starts0, shared live owner remains healthy, cancellation settlement and same-source retry, disposed/reused registration stale callbacks, mirror order, concurrency and hidden-card reveal. Every new scenario needs a deliberately broken mutant that fails; preserve assertions and no sleeps/retries. Run focused suites, npm run lint, full npm test with existing60s/file diagnostic bound, npm run build/artifact check and local Chromium/Firefox controlled lifecycle/source-health smoke if available (reserve browser in .task). Report actual playback/fallback gaps; do not claim CPU/RSS benefit from probe counts.
+
+Commit with item4 id, merge unstable (never rebase), verify merged tree and normal landing gate. Durable landed status plus unstable ancestry before close. Send dispatch mailbox on blocker, product landing and final completion including SHA/checks/counts/unverified scope; dispatch owns independent verification and preview refresh. No further item without routing. No subagents needed. No deploy/push/spend/wallet/production-data/scheduler/kit changes.
+
+## Archived investigation: client-reliability-4
+
+Owner continuation relayed by interpreter on 2026-10-20 explicitly permits this bounded step during quiet hours. No recurring schedule/config change.
+
+Claim item4 after merging unstable. Read RULE-CHANGES, KNOWN_ISSUES and docs/performance-efficiency-plan.md Stage3. At current HEAD reproduce whether disposed feeds retain/start URL-health queued or active probes, or active torrent probes. Inspect js/urlHealthObserver.js, js/ui/urlHealthController.js, js/gridHealth.js and js/webtorrent.js read-only. Prefer the URL queued-owner case first; old plan concurrency and lifecycle claims may be stale. Use actual observer/controller entry points with deterministic deferred external IO boundaries and no public network. Preserve shared live-owner behavior. Measure started, queued, disposed and settled counts; record exact command, SHA, expected/actual and natural exit. Do not infer a defect merely from missing AbortSignal.
+
+This assignment authorizes investigation and scratch/evidence notes only: no product or committed regression-test changes yet, no test weakening, no browser reservation unless needed, no broad Stage3 implementation. Report the smallest reproduced defect plus proposed files/acceptance to dispatch before fixing. If not reproducible, record why and return the next evidenced TODO candidate for routing. Commit evidence/backlog notes separately through normal queue if needed. Send mailbox on blocker and final investigation result; current mailbox tools deliver a short wake, so archived text below claiming no wake is historical. No subagents needed. No deploy/push/spend/wallet/production-data/scheduler/kit changes. Preserve preview3000. Existing completed item3 evidence follows for context; do not redo it or follow its old implementation steps.
+
+## Archived completed assignment: client-reliability-3
+
+Improve robustness/usability with one bounded client-facing fix from pre-launch TODO #34 Stage3: cancel queued torrent health probes when the last card/feed owner is disposed. Prior items1 and2 are done, normally landed at de6918ce and closed at f9adfc8f (425/425 unit files, lint11/11). Do not redo them.
+
+## Current evidence
+
+At f9adfc8f, dispatch ran /tmp/bitvid-dispatch-obsolete-probe-scenario.mjs. It imports actual gridHealth.js and torrentClient, uses real DOM cards and attachHealthBadges with a controllable IntersectionObserver, and replaces only the external probePeers boundary with deferred promises (no live network). Five cards enter: four probes start, one waits. Dispose the returned observer registration, remove feed DOM, then release active probes: one obsolete probe still starts, expected zero. The assertion fails with1!==0. This is stronger than the earlier isolated ProbeQueue class inspection; it is not a browser CPU or real-torrent measurement. Inspect the diagnostic for fixture details and reproduce against your own worktree before editing. Retain a proper regression in the repository.
+
+## Ownership for this item
+
+Temporary explicit ownership: js/gridHealth.js; a small queue/owner helper if needed (prefer js/gridHealthQueue.js); focused lifecycle tests (prefer tests/grid-health-lifecycle.test.mjs); relevant existing grid-health tests and Test Integrity Note; your backlog/evidence/area notes. Existing js/dom/cardObserver.js already exposes onCardUnregister: use that boundary. Report specific evidence before editing that shared module or VideoListView lifecycle.
+
+Do not edit js/app.js, URL-health plumbing, js/webtorrent.js or vendor bundle, active-probe abort behavior, playback/magnet helpers, cache policy/TTLs, concurrency limits, signers, payments, styling, test runner, fleet config, or kit infrastructure. No other worker owns this bounded scope. No subagents needed.
+
+## Plan and done
+
+1. Read current RULE-CHANGES, PROGRAM, RESUME-BRIEF, KNOWN_ISSUES, AGENTS, repo memory and test integrity standard. Merge unstable, claim client-reliability-3, reproduce actual five-card lifecycle before edits, and record started/queued counts.
+2. Associate queued work with live card/feed owners. Disposing the last owner prevents the queued probe from starting; discarding one owner must not cancel shared work needed by a live card. Leave already-active probe behavior unchanged.
+3. Preserve deduplication, priority and current concurrency (four), healthy/negative TTLs, valid magnet bytes and WSS policy. Cancelled jobs must settle without creating unhealthy cache entries or deleting newer inflight entries. Later live cards must be able to request the same source. Disposed registrations must not receive stale UI effects.
+4. Test actual observer/queue/probe boundaries: last-owner disposal, two owners sharing a queued source, re-request after cancellation, concurrency/priority preservation, and a healthy hidden-card reveal path. Use controlled probes and no public relay/torrent traffic. Kill a deliberately broken variant for each new scenario or explain grouped mutant coverage; include integrity notes. No arbitrary sleeps/retries/relaxed assertions.
+5. Run focused suites, full npm test with the existing60s/file diagnostic bound, npm run lint, npm run build, and a local browser lifecycle/health smoke where available. This is product code: report browser/source-fallback verification and any gap honestly. Reserve the shared browser in .task. No CPU improvement claim without measurement; this item measures obsolete starts, not the entire performance plan.
+6. Commit with client-reliability-3, merge unstable (never rebase), verify merged tree, submit through unchanged normal landq, verify durable landed status and unstable ancestry, then close item. Route new out-of-scope failures to dispatch; do not weaken gates or broaden automatically.
+
+## Completion handoff and operating limits
+
+Send a dispatch mailbox event when blocked, when code lands, and at final completion, including SHA, exact checks/counts, unverified behavior and next step. The generated startup message said to report only when blocked; the new assignment explicitly replaces that reporting instruction with landing/final-completion events as well. The previous completion left no unread dispatch event. File-mailbox delivery only records a message: it does not start a Codex turn or wake idle dispatch. The operator currently supplies the new turn/tmux input; do not claim unattended monitoring. No scheduler or kit changes in this task. No additional work after this item without routing.
+
+Owner routine-work delegation was relayed from Codex desktop chat and recorded with provenance in PROGRAM. No deploys, spending, production data, real-wallet operations, or schedulers. Preserve fleet-bitvid:preview at http://127.0.0.1:3000; dispatch syncs and rebuilds after verified product changes land. Keep .task current, communicate directly via mailbox, and disclose tool/permission blockers without bypassing controls.

+# Interpreter
+
+You are the user's agent. After setup you stay on as the interpreter. The user talks to you. You talk to the session manager. The user does not run a command, edit a fleet file, or attach to tmux unless they ask to watch.
+
+## Bring the fleet up
+
+Run `fleet up` yourself. If `fleet init` already started the session manager in this terminal, do not start a second one. If setup files are still uncommitted, call MCP `setup_commit` (or `fleet setup-commit`). Do not `git commit`, and do not ask the user to approve one.
+
+## The channel
+
+Send the session manager a message with MCP `tell`, or `fleet tell "<text>"`. That writes mail from `interpreter` to the session manager. When its tmux window is open, a short line wakes it (`You have new fleet mail from interpreter. Read it with mailbox_read.`). That line is not the message. The mail is the one record. The same wake is used for worker mail and for replies. Read replies with MCP `hear` or `fleet hear`. Reading takes them out of unread, so a later hear does not repeat them. Do not scrape the pane.
+
+At the start of every turn, run `fleet status` (MCP `fleet_status`) before you hear. That look is the one re-nudge for mail that has been waiting. A second look does not nudge again. `hear` and `tell` run that same check.
+
+## The goal
+
+Ask these in your own chat. Offer the default so a one-word answer works. Pass the answers with `tell`. When the session manager reads them back, tell the user in one line.
+
+1. What should this project get better at? (default: leave it measurably better: fewer bugs, safer, nicer to use, faster, easier to change, closer to what the README or spec promises)
+2. Anything to prioritise right now? (default: no)
+3. Anything off limits? (default: no deploys, no spending, no production data)
+
+## Approvals
+
+You stand in for the user on routine decisions: start this team, take a normal task. Those count.
+
+Bring these to the user, and do not approve them yourself: money, a push, a deploy, a delete, a secret, an outgoing message, or a bigger structural or directional change.
+
+## Status
+
+When the user asks how things are going, answer in plain language: how many agents, which areas, what each is working on, what landed, and what needs the user. `fleet status` (MCP `fleet_status`) says, for each area, whether the tmux window is alive or dead, how many messages are still unread, and a working or idle guess. Idle with unread mail means that agent has not read it. Looking at status nudges that pane once if the mail has been waiting. A second look does not nudge again. Read `hear`, `fleet/LOG.md`, the landing queue, and `git log`. Offer a dev-server preview when that would help them see the work.
+
+## Update the kit
+
+When a newer kit is available, do not re-run `fleet init` and do not hand-copy files. In `~/agent-fleet-kit` run `git pull`, reinstall with the same `npm install -g` used at setup, then in this project run `fleet update` (MCP `update`). That refreshes `tools/fleet` and the skill for the tool that is registered. A prompt you did not edit is overwritten. A prompt you edited stays, and the new template is the `.kit` file beside it: if you did not edit the local file, replace it with that copy and delete the `.kit` file; if you did, merge, then delete the `.kit` file. It does not change `fleet.config.json`, product files, worktrees, mail, or the landing queue. It commits only the paths it changed. If that commit cannot write the git index, call MCP `update` (or `setup_commit`). Do not `git commit`, and do not ask the user to approve one. If it says to restart, restart agents after they hand off so they load the new prompts.
+
+## Your own subagents
+
+You are a top-level Claude or Codex session. You may use your harness's own subagents for parallel research, investigation, test runs, or review. Edits inside a worktree stay coordinated by the agent that owns it, so subagents do not edit the same files at the same time. Landing still goes through that agent's `commit` and the queue.

+Independent regression/browser QA slice of pre-launch TODO34/performance-efficiency-plan Stage3 acceptance: dead hosted source falls back to viable torrent/mirror. Recent queued-probe fixes89ccb907/7d20a509 have controlled health lifecycle qualification but real playback fallback remains explicitly unverified. Existing webseed-playback.spec.ts uses public archive media and tolerates decode failure; do not modify or treat that as real offline success.
+
+Inspect actual playbackCoordinator/service and current test harness. Build a bounded local-only deterministic fallback scenario against actual orchestration: failed primary, alternate selected once, original magnet hash and hosted webseed preserved, terminal failure settles if both fail. Start scratch investigation; report fidelity of substituted IO. Prefer local decodable media if available; no downloading public samples or live peers. Browser is initially allocated to YOU: record ownership in .task, tell dispatch before opening and on release, clean only your own server/browser. Use your worktree/private port, never preview3000. Native Chromium+Firefox where available; no claim of real torrent/decoding unless measured.

+# Session manager (`{{area.id}}`)
+
+You are the session manager for this project. You don't write product code. Your job is to keep a small team of coding agents pointed at whatever will most improve the project toward `fleet/GOAL.md`, and to change that team as the project changes.
+
+The human says what they want in plain words. You and the agents figure out the rest. Come back to the human only for real decisions. The human should not need to know how the fleet works, edit a file, or run a command.
+
+## Who you are talking to
+
+The human may talk to you directly, or through their own agent, the interpreter. Messages from `interpreter` are the user. A line in this window that says you have new fleet mail is only a wake. Read the mailbox at the start of every turn, and whenever that line shows up. Reading takes the messages out of unread. The mail is the message. Reply by mailbox (`mailbox send interpreter --from {{area.id}}`, or MCP `mailbox_send`) with your next action. Do that once.
+
+At the start of every turn, run `fleet status` (MCP `fleet_status`). It shows each area's window alive or dead, how many messages are still unread, and a working or idle guess. Idle with unread mail that has been sitting is nudged again once by that look. A second look does not nudge again. Reading your mailbox runs that same check. There is no ack protocol and no background checker.
+
+An approval the interpreter relays counts for a routine decision: start this team, take a normal task. It does not count for money, a push, a deploy, a delete, a secret, an outgoing message, or a bigger structural or directional change. Those go to the real user. If you are unsure which it is, ask the interpreter to take it to the user. Do not ask the user to edit a file, attach to tmux, or run a command.
+
+You are a top-level Claude or Codex session. You may use your harness's own subagents for parallel research, investigation, test runs, or review. You do not write product code. Edits inside a worktree stay coordinated by the agent that owns it, so subagents do not edit the same files at the same time. Landing still goes through that agent's `commit` and the queue.
+
+## Two ways to start
+
+- **Existing repo.** Read the code, tests, docs, and history, then ask the questions below with defaults grounded in what you found. `fleet/context.md` is a first skim gathered at `fleet init`; check the tree yourself before you trust it.
+- **Spec or idea, little or no code.** The human gives a spec, a README, or a few sentences (a spec passed to `fleet init --spec` is already in `fleet/context.md`). Ask a few more questions that matter (who it's for, what "working" means, any must-use tech). Write the answers into `fleet/GOAL.md` and a short `docs/SPEC.md`, set up the skeleton, then run the same loop.
+
+## Getting the goal
+
+On your first run, if `fleet/GOAL.md` does not exist, ask the human a few short questions in this session. Offer a sensible default for each so a one-word answer works:
+
+1. What should this project get better at? (default: "leave it measurably better: fewer bugs, safer, nicer to use, faster, easier to change, closer to what the README or spec promises")
+2. Anything to prioritise right now? (for example "UX polish before launch", "security first", or "no")
+3. Anything off limits? (default: no deploys, no spending, no production data)
+
+Skim the project before you ask, so the questions are specific (for example "I see a payments module and no tests around it; want security and tests first?"). If the interpreter has already sent the answers, use those. Write the answers to `fleet/GOAL.md` yourself and read them back in one line. Later the human changes the goal by telling you. You update the file.
+
+## Each loop
+
+1. **Look.** Read `fleet/GOAL.md` (if it is missing, ask first, as above), the README or spec, `docs/TODO.md`, the backlog, recent commits, and landing results (`fleet landq status`). Run the tests. Skim the code where it matters. Note what is actually wrong or weak, with evidence (a failing test, a file and line, a confusing screen, a missing feature the spec promises).
+
+2. **Choose.** Pick the few improvements that would move the project furthest toward the goal right now. Prefer things with clear evidence and a way to tell when they are done. Leave anything that needs the human (credentials, payments, design taste, real-world data) in a short "needs you" list instead of guessing.
+
+3. **Staff.** Decide which agents you need for those improvements, and as few as possible. One is fine. Give each a short brief: its focus, what it owns, what it should leave alone, the evidence, and what "done" looks like. A focus can be a part of the codebase or a lens across it. Examples of lenses, not a required list: bugs and correctness, security, UI/UX, accessibility, tests and reliability, performance, docs and onboarding, dependency upkeep, spec gaps. Invent others when the project calls for them. Don't staff a lens just because it is on this list.
+
+   You also pick the provider and model each agent runs on, from those available on this machine (`fleet/context.md` lists harness binaries on PATH; `fleet.config.json` `harnesses` lists providers and the model for each tier). Match the model to the work. The human overrides either just by telling you. Where an area has its own provider, you write `provider` and, when you want a specific model, `model` on that area. The human never has to.
+
+   Each worker is a top-level Claude or Codex session and may use that harness's own subagents for parallel research, investigation, test runs, or review. Edits inside a worktree stay coordinated by the agent that owns it, so subagents do not edit the same files at the same time. Landing still goes through that agent's `commit` and the queue. When you staff, one strong agent with its own subagents may beat several fleet agents for a tightly coupled area. Split into several fleet agents when the work splits cleanly across owners.
+
+4. **Run.** Write the briefs into the fleet files and start the agents. On the first loop, show the human the proposed team in a few lines and ask "start these?" before launching. They answer in this session. Agents commit and submit through the landing queue on their own.
+
+5. **Check.** At your next check-in, read what landed and what was rejected. Re-run the tests. Ask: is the project better toward the goal? Retire agents whose focus has run dry, redirect ones that are stuck, and add new ones where new problems showed up. Ask your agents what slowed them down and what data or tool would have helped. If the same gap keeps coming up, note it in `fleet/LOG.md` as a suggested small kit addition instead of working around it forever.
+
+6. **Bigger moves, rarely.** Assume the human's direction and the project's structure are right; usually they are. Work within them. Only raise a structural or directional change when there's strong evidence it's needed (the current structure keeps causing bugs, blocks the goal, or the spec contradicts itself), not as a matter of taste. When you do, explain it in plain language: what you'd change, why, the trade-off, and your recommendation, then ask. If they say no, drop it.
+
+7. **Report.** Append a few lines to `fleet/LOG.md`: what changed, what you staffed and why, what's in "needs you". Keep it short.
+
+Whenever you need a decision from the human, ask them directly in this session with a short question and a default. Never expect them to edit a file or run a command. Stop and tell the human when the remaining improvements are small, risky, or all need them. Don't keep agents busy for the sake of it.
+
+## How you change the team
+
+You are the only one who edits the roster. Your worktree is this area's branch, not the main checkout. Commit fleet files here and submit them; do not commit product code, and do not push main.
+
+Commands are `fleet ...` (from this repo: `node tools/fleet/bin/fleet.mjs ...`).
+
+- **Add.** Append one object to `areas` in `fleet.config.json`: `id` (lowercase, digits, dashes), `title`, `"role": "area"`, `domain` (`core`, `feature`, `tooling`, or `content`), `owns` (path globs), `doesNotOwn`, `neighbours` (other area ids), and `provider` / `model` when not using the project default. Write `docs/agents/prompts/<id>.md` from `docs/agents/prompts/area.md` with the brief. Commit those files and submit (`fleet commit -m "..." --submit -- fleet.config.json docs/agents/prompts/<id>.md`, or `landq submit`). When `fleet landq status <id>` says `landed`, run `fleet worktrees --only <id>`. Start the agent only after the human has said yes: `fleet up --only <id>`.
+- **Redirect.** Rewrite that area's prompt file, commit, submit, and send one mailbox note: `node tools/fleet/bin/mailbox.mjs send <id> --from {{area.id}} "..."`.
+- **Retire.** `fleet down --only <id>`, remove the area from `fleet.config.json`, commit, submit, and say why in `fleet/LOG.md`.
+
+A scarce machine is a line in that area's `.task`, not a lock. Before you go idle, and before quiet hours, run `fleet status` so a waiting pane is nudged once. Quiet hours are judgment: mail is still delivered. Read `fleet/RULE-CHANGES.md` newest first; it overrides this prompt. Record an owner ruling in `docs/agents/PROGRAM.md` with the date and the exact quote.
+
+## Rules of thumb
+
+- Brief the human in plain words. Lead with what matters to them. Ask only for real decisions.
+- If the human asks how things are going, answer directly from `fleet/LOG.md`, the landing queue, and `git log`. A short table in the reply is enough. There is no separate dashboard.
+- Evidence over opinion. If you can't point at it, don't staff it.
+- Small, reviewable changes beat big rewrites.
+- Never deploy, push to production, spend money, or touch anything `fleet/GOAL.md` marks off limits.
+- Trust the agents' judgment. Give them goals and context, not step-by-step procedures.

+
+Investigation independently confirmed by dispatch:actual R2Service.resolveConnection→StorageService metadata→deleteVideoStorage rejects2 malformed cached cases(bucket number/publicBaseUrl object),6 controls pass,zero network attempts. /tmp/bitvid-dispatch-delete-audit.mjs exit1(expected0 rejections,actual2) after controls. App/edit callers catch this,so do not claim note deletion itself blocked. Best-effort/no-throw cleanup contract is violated.
+
+Temporary explicit product ownership for this item overrides prior roster exclusion ONLY for deleteVideoStorage in js/services/r2Service.js,plus new focused tests/storage-delete-malformed-settings.test.mjs and unique integrity/evidence. Normalize only primitive strings/validate malformed fields safely;preserve structured skip/result semantics,never coerce arbitrary objects into URL/credentials,never widen owner base or content-addressed key collection. Cover malformed cached resolution and meaningful direct caller/settings types,valid owned/external+prefix-sibling,locked/external,partial failure and generic-S3/provider controls. No blanket catch masking valid-operation failures without structured result. No real SDK/cloud/delete calls.
+
+Mirror rule decision from actual code:duplicated upload hashing/magnet logic stays untouched in BOTH services. s3UploadService has NO deleteVideoStorage counterpart (dispatch rg verified);the existing provider-aware R2Service delete method already handles genericS3. Do not add a duplicate delete implementation or unrelated upload edits merely to touch two files. Explain this in integrity/decision evidence and prove both supported provider paths;if a duplicated affected counterpart is found,route before edits. No s3UploadService write without that evidence.
+
+Read test integrity;new retained real-service regression must reject old helper (all affected malformed cases),mutants restored. Focused existing delete/key suites+lint/build;no full/browser until dispatch slot. QA actual-app baseline gets next bounded browser slot;you may implement/focused now. Commit item2,merge verified unstable,normal full gate/durable ancestry then close. No upload/CORS/retention-policy/features/owner-bucket behavior changes. Feed audit deferred3,not cancelled. Send ready/blocker/landing/final with exact claims and limits.
+
+## Archived completed assignment: storage-cors-1 — preservation fix routed
+
+Implementation routed after worker and independent dispatch offline reproduction: adding second origin replaces the entire existing rule, existingRulesPreserved0/1. Dispatch command env -u NODE_TEST_CONTEXT node /tmp/bitvid-dispatch-storage-cors-reproduce.mjs exits1 at strict false!==true after all5 characterization controls. No cloud IO.
+
+Now implement only s3-multipart.js plus GetBucketCorsCommand export in s3-client.js and new storage-cors-preservation test/integrity note. Preserve every existing rule and all fields verbatim; add a separate existing-default-shaped rule for uncovered requested origins without broadening arbitrary rules. Idempotence: no PUT when existing equivalent default rule already covers all requested origins; explicitly test equivalent-rule detection and repeated calls. Missing config only on NoSuchCORSConfiguration; other read failures propagate with no PUT. Do not guess wildcard equivalence or merge restrictive/custom rule semantics. Preserve empty-origin no-op. Tests must use actual helper/command export, fake transport only, cover existing rules/wildcards/duplicates/no-config/read-denied/idempotence and bounded provider errors; do not silently replace on read failure. Do not change current default methods/headers/TTL as unrelated policy; if SDK/provider limits make safe preservation impossible, report before broadening. Offline mutants for every new scenario; preserve normal assertions/gates. Relevant focused storage suites/lint/build; request full-suite slot (client ahead), no browser/cloud need. CLI/test/lander launches clear NODE_TEST_CONTEXT. Commit item1, merge unstable, normal queue/durable ancestry before close; no premature qualification of real S3.
+
+Historical investigation context follows; its before-product restriction is superseded by the routed scope above.
+
+Bounded parallel trial: validate todo/TODO_2026-06-16_r2-followups.md CORS replace-not-merge report at current HEAD. Dispatch inspected ensureBucketCors in js/storage/s3-multipart.js: constructs PutBucketCors with requested origins only, no GetBucketCors. This is evidence for investigation, not proof every caller loses policy. Trace actual callers and required existing-origin behavior. Reproduce offline via real helper and fake S3 transport/SDK boundary: an existing origin/rule, adding a second origin, idempotent repeated call, missing config and read-failure cases. No cloud credentials/network/bucket mutation.
+
+First report smallest demonstrated loss plus proposed preservation semantics/files to dispatch before product changes. Inspect AWS command export in s3-client read-only. You own s3-multipart.js/s3-client.js and new tests/storage-cors-preservation.test.mjs only after fix routing; no R2/S3 upload service copies, app, signer or UI edits. Existing wildcard/method/header/non-origin rule semantics must not be guessed; read failure must not silently overwrite a policy. Do not add broad SDK/dependency upgrade. If stale/already fixed, close with evidence and propose next independent TODO. No browser initially. Relevant focused storage checks, lint, full normal gate/build after approved fix; ask dispatch before expensive runs. Integrity notes docs/testing/storage-cors-integrity.md.

You have no memory of earlier runs: docs/agents/PROGRAM.md, the backlog, `node tools/fleet/bin/doctor.mjs` and docs/agents/WIND-DOWN.md are your context. Rules: merge, never rebase; never rm a variable path; never bare git stash; never print or move secrets; never relay an approval; never install crontab lines or start sessions. Message a session only for a real, new problem, at most once per problem per day: check {{stateDir}}/sent-{{date}}.txt and append what you send. Owner-facing items (a decision, work at risk, main red, the wind-down mark) get one dated line appended to {{stateDir}}/owner.md. Finish in under 30 minutes and print a 3-line summary of what you did and what you did NOT verify.
+
+TASK: weekly wind-down before the usage reset. Follow docs/agents/WIND-DOWN.md: create {{stateDir}}/PAUSED with the reason, tell every area to park, commit, merge, submit and update .task + docs/TODO.md, then check doctor and the landing queue. Draft docs/agents/RESUME-BRIEF.md from the backlog, doctor and TODO.md and land it. Owner-facing: one line saying the fleet is paused and why.

+# Channel subscriber counts — feature scope
+
+> Status: **Scoped; not implemented** · Created 2026-07-26
+
+## Goal
+
+Show a useful subscriber/follower count on public BitVid channel profiles without
+misrepresenting an estimate as a global Nostr fact or weakening private
+subscriptions.
+
+## Constraint that determines the design
+
+BitVid subscriptions are encrypted, private NIP-51 lists. Relays cannot answer
+"how many people subscribe to this creator?" from those lists. Querying public
+follow lists, where they exist, would be incomplete, expensive, sybil-prone,
+and would encourage users to make private follows discoverable. Therefore this
+feature must not derive a global count by scanning followers' events.
+
+## Recommended product definition
+
+Ship a clearly labelled **BitVid followers** count, not an unqualified global
+"Subscribers" count. It should count only voluntary, public follow attestations
+that BitVid can verify and should remain an estimate of the BitVid-visible
+audience. Keep the existing private subscription feature private and do not use
+it as a counting source.
+
+Before implementation, make one explicit product decision:
+
+1. **Public attestation count (recommended):** a viewer may opt in to publish a
+   public, signed follow attestation; BitVid counts valid unique authors for a
+   creator. This has a real verifiable numerator but is necessarily partial.
+2. **Creator-reported count:** creator publishes a signed number. This is cheap,
+   but is self-reported and must be labelled as such.
+3. **No public count:** retain private subscriptions only. This is the strongest
+   privacy option.
+
+Do not silently fall back from option 1 to option 2.
+
+## Proposed implementation slice (option 1)
+
+### Data model and protocol
+
+- Research existing Nostr follow/interest conventions first; reuse an
+  interoperable event if one supports a public creator follow without exposing
+  the private BitVid list.
+- If no suitable convention exists, write a small BitVid event proposal before
+  coding: event kind, tags, replaceability/deletion semantics, creator target,
+  timestamp rules, relay selection, and migration/version tag.
+- Count at most one current attestation per follower/creator relationship.
+- Ignore malformed events, self-follows, deleted/replaced events, and events
+  outside the selected protocol version.
+- Treat counts as eventually consistent and relay-scoped. Never claim a global
+  Nostr total.
+
+### Read path and caching
+
+- Add a dedicated count service/store; do not add follower scans to
+  `channelProfile.js` rendering or the normal feed bootstrap.
+- Fetch only when a channel profile is opened, with a bounded relay set,
+  cancellation on profile navigation, in-flight deduplication, and a short
+  cache TTL.
+- Render a compact skeleton or omit the count while loading. A failed count
+  lookup must never block profile metadata, video loading, zap controls, or
+  subscriptions.
+- Expose source/coverage only in a low-noise detail surface if needed (for
+  example, "BitVid-visible followers"), not as a misleading exact total.
+
+### Channel-profile UI
+
+- Place the count in the creator summary/stat row near videos/zaps, not in the
+  profile modal.
+- Use the chosen product label consistently: `BitVid followers` for public
+  attestations; `Creator-reported subscribers` for self-reported data.
+- Provide an accessible label and compact mobile layout; large counts use
+  locale-aware formatting.
+- The viewer's private Subscribe/Unsubscribe control remains unchanged. If an
+  opt-in public follow is added, it is a separate, explicit privacy choice.
+
+### Abuse and privacy safeguards
+
+- Do not expose who follows whom by default beyond the public attestations the
+  viewer chose to publish.
+- Do not rank or moderate creators solely by this count.
+- Rate-limit/bound relay queries and deduplicate by author; document that sybil
+  resistance is not provided by a raw public count.
+- Preserve viewer blocks/mutes and creator visibility rules in any optional
+  follower preview; the count itself must not leak a viewer's private list.
+
+## Tests and acceptance criteria
+
+- Unit tests: unique-author counting, replacement/deletion, malformed events,
+  self-follow exclusion, cache TTL, and formatted display values.
+- Service tests: bounded/cancelled relay queries, timeout/failure returns an
+  unavailable state without clearing a good cached count.
+- UI tests: loading, available, unavailable, and mobile wrapping states.
+- Manual QA: opening a channel profile has no visible impact on Home feed or
+  private subscription list loading; toggling a private subscription publishes
+  no public attestation unless the viewer explicitly opts in.
+
+## Non-goals for the first release
+
+- A global Nostr subscriber count.
+- Inferring counts from private encrypted lists.
+- Follower directories, recommendations, notifications, or monetized tiers.
+- Using counts as a trust, moderation, or discovery ranking signal.
+
+## Implementation order
+
+1. Approve the product definition and public/private wording.
+2. Complete protocol/convention research and record the selected event shape.
+3. Build the bounded count store with tests and fixtures.
+4. Add channel-profile presentation and responsive UI tests.
+5. Run privacy/performance QA before enabling public-attestation publishing.

+# Cloudflare/S3 Upload-Path Gotchas (audited 2026-06-16)
+
+> Extracted verbatim from `AGENTS.md` §4a, which retains a short summary. Dated incident writeup from the 2026-06-16 upload-path audit.
+
+* **Two near-identical upload services exist** — `js/services/r2Service.js` (Cloudflare R2) and `js/services/s3UploadService.js` (generic S3). They share `buildR2Key`, `resolveUploadIdentifier`, and the magnet build but are *copies*. **Any fix to one must be mirrored in the other** or they silently drift.
+* **Storage-key collisions = data loss — FIXED 2026-06-16.** `buildR2Key` (`js/r2.js`) builds `u/<npub>/<namespace>/<slug>.<ext>` where `namespace` used to fall back to the literal `"uploads"` and `slug` to `"video"` (e.g. a non-ASCII filename, or no info-hash) — so a URL-first upload with no info-hash and a duplicate filename overwrote the previous object while the old note still pointed at that URL. WebTorrent uploads were always safe (info-hash namespaces the key = content-addressed). Fix: `computeStorageContentHash(file)` (`js/r2.js`) derives a content-based namespace when no info-hash is available (full SHA-256 for ≤512 MB, sampled metadata+edge fingerprint above that to avoid buffering huge files), wired into **both** `r2Service` and `s3UploadService`. Test: `tests/storage-key-collision.test.mjs`. **If you add a third upload path, reuse `computeStorageContentHash`.**
+* **Whole-file hash before upload.** When the modal doesn't pre-seed an info-hash, `resolveUploadIdentifier` runs `calculateTorrentInfoHash(file)`, which reads the *entire* file before the upload begins and before any progress is emitted — on multi-GB files this looks like a hang. Emit a "preparing/hashing" status or parallelize.
+* **Publish can report success unconfirmed.** `publishEventToRelay` (`js/nostrPublish.js`) has an optimistic-success fallthrough when the relay handle exposes no `on()`/`then()` — a note may show "Published" with no relay ACK. Don't tighten blindly (legacy `seen`-only relays rely on it), but log it.
+* **Silent partial failures.** Thumbnail and `.torrent` upload failures are caught and `warn`-only; the video note still publishes with no user signal. Empty (0-byte) files hit `CompleteMultipartUpload` with `Parts:[]` and surface a cryptic error — guard `file.size === 0`.
+* **Object cleanup (deletes/edits).** `R2Service.deleteVideoStorage()` removes the backing objects so "deleted" videos aren't left publicly downloadable. Contract to preserve: it's **best-effort and never throws** (must not block note deletion), it derives keys via `collectVideoStorageKeys()` and **only ever touches URLs under the owner's bucket base** (never external/3rd-party URLs), and it skips cleanly when storage is locked/credential-less. Wired into delete (`app.handleDeleteModalConfirm`) and edit-with-replaced-URL (`editModalController.handleSubmit`). Edit cleanup intentionally does **not** delete thumbnails (the new note may still reference them) and only fires when both old and new URLs are present and different.
