thePR0M3TH3ANandClaude Opus 4.8 8f39b2c479 feat(signer): surface an actionable notice when the signer goes unresponsive
A raw window.nostr probe in the user's browser (getPublicKey → nip04.encrypt
→ nip04.decrypt, bypassing ALL of bitvid) HUNG forever, with the extension's
own console showing `ObjectMultiplex - orphaned data for "background-liveness"`
+ `malformed chunk` + listener-leak warnings. That is the NIP-07 extension's
content-script ↔ background-service-worker channel being dead (classic MV3
worker death) — an extension/environment failure, not a bitvid bug. No client
change can force an unresponsive signer to answer; the fix is to reload/unlock
the extension.

What bitvid CAN do is stop failing silently. Add js/utils/signerHealthNotice.js:
after a few consecutive list-decrypt timeouts while the signer reports itself
present, emit ONE rate-limited, actionable user notice ("your signer isn't
responding to decryption — unlock/reload the extension and refresh") instead of
the silent 15-minute retry loop. Reset on any decrypt success so a transient
blip doesn't warn. Wired into blocks, hashtags, and subscriptions.

Also documents the definitive root-cause + all resilience increments in
KNOWN_BUGS #0. Test: tests/signer-health-notice.test.mjs (threshold, rate-limit,
success-reset). Full unit suite green.
