bitvid/js/devReqMonitor.js

// Dev-only relay REQ-rate monitor.
//
// Patches WebSocket.send to count outgoing Nostr REQ frames and, every 2s,
// console.warns when the rate exceeds a threshold — naming the storming filter
// kinds. This runs inside the real browser session against real relays/lists,
// which the headless harness cannot fully reproduce. It is purely observational
// and only activates on localhost (or when `localStorage.__bitvidReqMonitor__`
// is set), so production is unaffected.
//
// Remove this import from index.js once the login-perf work is done.
