Test Integrity Notes

Machine-readable record of test-expectation changes made under the Spec Correction Protocol (see CLAUDE.md → Dark Factory rules). Each entry justifies why a previous expectation was wrong relative to intended behavior and confirms the replacement is equally strict (or stricter).

      rotted and was failing on main unnoticed. Converted to node:test so it runs
      in CI. (2) The relay-failure test set only client.relays, but deletes moved to
      the write set (getDeletePublishRelays); it now sets writeRelays so the
      injected failure is actually exercised — the assertion was previously passing
      vacuously. (3) The subscription assertions drove the REMOVED pool.sub() path
      and expected 'no callback at all' for deleted events; the current
      VideoEventBuffer intentionally surfaces deleted events marked deleted:true so
      the UI can remove the card. Rewritten to drive the real buffer + real client
      and assert the stricter, accurate invariant (never surfaces as LIVE; guarded
      and removed from activeMap). Coverage is stronger: the buffer's own unit test
      mocks the client's tombstone guard, whereas this exercises the real guard."

      encoding exactly the all-relays false-failure bug 565a9618 fixed. Rewritten to
      the success path (no throw, partial flag, per-relay status, queue drained, no
      spurious republish). (2) testWatchHistoryServiceIntegration set the logged-in
      pubkey to a value DIFFERENT from the actor it queried; since watch history now
      files under the logged-in pubkey, the queue assertions looked at the wrong key.
      Aligned pubkey to the queried actor (the convention every other test uses) — a
      setup fix, no assertion weakened. (3) The same test asserted session===true for
      a logged-in watch, which is the pre-fix bug (logged-in watches were wrongly
      flagged session by comparing against the view actor); corrected to session!==true
      per the current rule that session marks only logged-out, local-only entries.
      With these the full file is green and was REMOVED from the run-unit-tests
      QUARANTINE."
