Shipped

• Private video filtering – VideoListView now hides private uploads from shared feeds while still rendering them for their owners, keeping private sharing contained to the uploader’s views.
• Edit & Upload modals – Editing and publishing flows now rely on first-class modal forms with shared NIP-71 field management instead of browser pop-ups.
• Universal more/settings menus – Video cards expose consistent “more” and owner settings menus with channel navigation, sharing, blocking, and reporting actions wired through dedicated renderers.
• Watch History view – A dedicated watch history page ships with privacy messaging, pagination, relay sync, and local cache controls.
• Zap controls – Channel profiles manage zap visibility, login gating, retry flows, and receipt rendering via the Lightning controller on the page.
• Source visibility filtering – Lists now hide cards whose hosted URLs are offline unless their WebTorrent fallback is healthy, reusing the shared guard in js/utils/cardSourceVisibility.js.
• Video modal comments – The video modal now surfaces in-context comment threads so viewers can follow discussions without leaving the player.
• Channel profile views – views/channel-profile.html and js/channelProfile.js render dedicated channel landing pages with banners, follow stats, playlists, and contact links.
• Audience targeting toggles – The Upload modal and Edit Video modal ship NSFW and For Kids toggles that map to the note’s moderation flags.
• Hashtag metadata repeater – Upload metadata repeaters now support hashtag sets so creators can publish discovery tags alongside variants, captions, and participants.
• Dev/Live publishing fix – Publishing honors the selected mode, preventing Dev-mode uploads from leaking into Live feeds.
