-# V2.0.1 Account Manager und Startup Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Einen atomaren Ein-Klick-Account-Flow, einen deterministischen White-Screen-sicheren Start und eine funktionierende Update-Brücke von 3.3.108 auf die sichtbare Version 2.0.1 liefern.
-
-**Architecture:** Browserunabhängige Kernlogik kapselt Validate-then-Commit und Release-Versionsauflösung und wird vom bestehenden Renderer beziehungsweise Updater verwendet. Der Electron-Main-Prozess erzwingt Software-Rendering vor Ready und zeigt das Hauptfenster erst nach `ready-to-show`.
-
-**Tech Stack:** Electron 41, Node.js 24, `node:test`, electron-builder 26, Gitea Releases, GitHub Releases.
-
-## Global Constraints
-
- Keine Code-Kommentare, XML-Dokumentation, TODOs oder Platzhalter hinzufügen.
- Sichtbare Produktversion, UI, Build und öffentlicher GitHub-Tag sind exakt `2.0.1` beziehungsweise `v2.0.1`.
- Der private Gitea-Transport-Tag für diese Version ist exakt `v3.3.109`; der Release-Titel ist exakt `Multi-Hoster-Upload v2.0.1`.
- Fehlgeschlagene, abgebrochene, veraltete oder OTP-erfordernde Prüfungen persistieren keinen Account.
- Release nur aus frischer Positivliste, ohne interne KI-/Task-/Log-/Backup-/Testdaten und nach Quell-, Build-, Archiv- und Secret-Prüfung.

-
-### Task 1: Startup-Renderer absichern
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `lib/startup-renderer.js`
- Modify: `main.js`
- Create: `tests/startup-renderer.test.js`
-
-**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `configureStartupRenderer(app)` deaktiviert Hardwarebeschleunigung genau einmal vor Ready.
- Produces: `createWindow()` erstellt das Hauptfenster unsichtbar und zeigt es auf `ready-to-show`.
-
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing Tests schreiben**
-
-```js
-test('configureStartupRenderer disables hardware acceleration', () => {
-  let calls = 0;
-  configureStartupRenderer({ disableHardwareAcceleration() { calls++; } });
-  assert.equal(calls, 1);
-});
-```
-
- [ ] **Step 2: RED verifizieren**
-
-Run: `node --test tests/startup-renderer.test.js`
-
-Expected: FAIL, weil `lib/startup-renderer.js` noch fehlt.
-
- [ ] **Step 3: Minimale Implementierung schreiben**
-
-```js
-function configureStartupRenderer(app) {
-  app.disableHardwareAcceleration();
-}
-
-module.exports = { configureStartupRenderer };
-```
-
-`main.js` ruft die Funktion unmittelbar nach dem Electron-Import auf, entfernt das heuristische RDP-/Flag-Gate, setzt `show: false`, registriert `ready-to-show` vor `loadFile` und behandelt einen abgelehnten Load.
-
- [ ] **Step 4: GREEN und Startup-Smoke verifizieren**
-
-Run: `node --test tests/startup-renderer.test.js`
-
-Run: `$env:RUN_UI_SMOKE='1'; node tests/ui-smoke.js`
-
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit erstellen**
-
-```powershell
-git add lib/startup-renderer.js main.js tests/startup-renderer.test.js
-git commit -m "fix(startup): make renderer initialization deterministic"
-```
-
-### Task 2: Account in einem Lauf prüfen und anlegen
-
-**Files:**
- Create: `renderer/account-submit.js`
- Modify: `renderer/index.html`
- Modify: `renderer/app.js`
- Replace: `tests/validate-credentials.test.js`
-
-**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `submitValidatedAccount({ validate, commit, isCurrent })` mit den Resultaten `committed`, `rejected`, `otp_required`, `stale` und `error`.
- Consumes: bestehendes `window.api.validateCredentials` und `window.api.saveConfig`.
-
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing Tests für Ein-Klick- und Fehlerpfade schreiben**
-
-```js
-test('ok validates and commits exactly once in one submission', async () => {
-  let commits = 0;
-  const result = await submitValidatedAccount({
-    validate: async () => ({ status: 'ok' }),
-    commit: async () => { commits++; },
-    isCurrent: () => true
-  });
-  assert.equal(result.status, 'committed');
-  assert.equal(commits, 1);
-});
-```
-
-Zusätzliche Tests decken `warn`, `error`, `skipped`, Throw, OTP, stale vor Commit und Save-Fehler ab.
-
- [ ] **Step 2: RED verifizieren**
-
-Run: `node --test tests/validate-credentials.test.js`
-
-Expected: FAIL, weil `submitValidatedAccount` noch fehlt.
-
- [ ] **Step 3: Submit-Core und Renderer-Integration implementieren**
-
-Der Submit-Core validiert, prüft `isCurrent`, committet ausschließlich `ok|warn` und gibt strukturierte Ergebnisse zurück. `saveAccount()` hält Busy bis zum Ende, vergleicht Session und Credential-Snapshot, speichert einen kopierten Kandidaten und übernimmt ihn erst nach erfolgreichem IPC. Der Button bleibt bis zum Schließen deaktiviert.
-
- [ ] **Step 4: GREEN und UI-Vertrag verifizieren**
-
-Run: `node --test tests/validate-credentials.test.js`
-
-Run: `node --test tests/*.test.js`
-
-Run: `$env:RUN_UI_SMOKE='1'; node tests/ui-smoke.js`
-
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit erstellen**
-
-```powershell
-git add renderer/account-submit.js renderer/index.html renderer/app.js tests/validate-credentials.test.js
-git commit -m "feat(accounts): validate and save in one action"
-```
-
-### Task 3: Produktversion und Updater-Brücke implementieren
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `lib/updater.js`
- Modify: `scripts/release_gitea.mjs`
- Modify: `package.json`
- Modify: `package-lock.json`
- Create: `tests/updater-version.test.js`
-
-**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `resolveReleaseVersion(release)` liest zuerst eine semantische Version aus `release.name`, dann aus `tag_name`.
- Produces: Release-CLI `node scripts/release_gitea.mjs 2.0.1 --transport-tag v3.3.109 <notes>`.
-
- [ ] **Step 1: Failing Tests für Release-Auflösung und Bridge schreiben**
-
-```js
-test('bridge title resolves product version instead of transport tag', () => {
-  assert.equal(resolveReleaseVersion({ name: 'Multi-Hoster-Upload v2.0.1', tag_name: 'v3.3.109' }), '2.0.1');
-  assert.equal(isNewer('2.0.1', '2.0.1'), false);
-  assert.equal(isNewer('2.0.2', '2.0.1'), true);
-});
-```
-
- [ ] **Step 2: RED verifizieren**
-
-Run: `node --test tests/updater-version.test.js`
-
-Expected: FAIL, weil `resolveReleaseVersion` noch fehlt.
-
- [ ] **Step 3: Produkt-/Transport-Trennung implementieren**
-
-`checkForUpdate()` verwendet die aufgelöste Produktversion für UI und Vergleich. Der Transport-Tag bleibt im Ergebnis diagnostizierbar. Das Release-Skript validiert `--transport-tag`, baut `2.0.1`, taggt `v3.3.109`, benennt den privaten Release `Multi-Hoster-Upload v2.0.1` und erzeugt `latest.yml` mit `2.0.1`.
-
- [ ] **Step 4: Version auf 2.0.1 setzen und GREEN verifizieren**
-
-Run: `npm version 2.0.1 --no-git-tag-version`
-
-Run: `node --test tests/updater-version.test.js`
-
-Run: `npm test`
-
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit erstellen**
-
-```powershell
-git add lib/updater.js scripts/release_gitea.mjs package.json package-lock.json tests/updater-version.test.js
-git commit -m "feat(updater): bridge 3.3.108 clients to v2.0.1"
-```
-
-### Task 4: Build, Laufzeit und Veröffentlichung verifizieren
-
-**Files:**
- Modify: `tasks/todo.md`
-
-**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: Tasks 1 bis 3.
- Produces: geprüfte private Bridge und kuratierten öffentlichen Release v2.0.1.
-
- [ ] **Step 1: Vollständige lokale Gates ausführen**
-
-Run: `npm test`
-
-Run: `npx eslint .`
-
-Run: `npm audit --omit=dev --json`
-
-Run: `npm run release:win`
-
- [ ] **Step 2: Build und Archive prüfen**
-
-Portable, Setup, Blockmap und `latest.yml` werden vollständig entpackt, auf Version, Struktur, Hashes, private Endpunkte, Credentials und interne Dateien geprüft. Gitleaks und TruffleHog laufen über Quell-Positivliste und entpackte Artefakte.
-
- [ ] **Step 3: Update-Brücke isoliert testen**
-
-Ein unveränderter 3.3.108-Updater muss den privaten Transport-Tag `v3.3.109` als neuer erkennen. Der gebaute 2.0.1-Updater muss denselben Release-Titel als installiert erkennen. Setup und Portable werden separat gestartet; UI, Account-Modal und sauberer Teardown werden geprüft.
-
- [ ] **Step 4: Private und öffentliche Releases veröffentlichen**
-
-Der private Gitea-Release nutzt Transport-Tag `v3.3.109` und Titel `Multi-Hoster-Upload v2.0.1`. Der öffentliche GitHub-Release wird aus einem neuen Positivlisten-Ordner als `v2.0.1` mit ausschließlich benötigtem Source und vier Release-Artefakten erstellt.
-
- [ ] **Step 5: Veröffentlichte Downloads erneut verifizieren**
-
-Alle öffentlichen und privaten Assets werden neu heruntergeladen, byte- und hashverglichen, `latest.yml` wird gegen das Setup geprüft und der veröffentlichte Build wird erneut gestartet. Erst danach wird `tasks/todo.md` mit den exakten Belegen aktualisiert.

-# V2.0.1 Account Manager und Startup
-
-## Ziel
-
-Multi-Hoster-Upload wird als sichtbare Produktversion `2.0.1` ausgeliefert. Das Hinzufügen und Bearbeiten eines Accounts validiert und speichert in einem Klick. Ein fehlgeschlagener, abgebrochener oder veralteter Check verändert weder die persistierte noch die im Renderer gehaltene Account-Konfiguration. Der intermittierende weiße Startzustand wird durch einen deterministischen Software-Renderer und ein erst nach erfolgreichem Laden sichtbares Hauptfenster verhindert.
-
-## Account-Flow
-
-Der Button lautet im Anlegefall `Prüfen und anlegen`, im Bearbeitungsfall `Prüfen und speichern`. Der bestehende Credential-Check bleibt die einzige fachliche Validierung. `ok` und `warn` führen unmittelbar zum Save, `error`, `skipped`, IPC-Fehler und `otp_required` nicht. OTP zeigt das Eingabefeld; der nächste Klick validiert und speichert in einem Lauf.
-
-Ein einziger Busy-Zustand umfasst Check und Save. Vor dem Save werden Modal-Session, Hoster, Account-ID und Credential-Snapshot erneut abgeglichen. Hoster- oder Credential-Änderung, Schließen oder erneutes Öffnen invalidieren die laufende Operation. Der Kandidat wird auf einer Kopie der Hoster-Konfiguration aufgebaut. Erst nach erfolgreichem `saveConfig` ersetzt er den Renderer-State. Bei Save-Fehler bleibt das Modal offen und der bisherige State unverändert.
-
-## Startup
-
-Die App benötigt keine GPU-beschleunigten Canvas-, WebGL- oder Video-Oberflächen. Hardwarebeschleunigung wird deshalb bei jedem Start vor `app.whenReady()` deaktiviert, unabhängig von `SESSIONNAME` und einem späteren GPU-Crash. Das Hauptfenster startet mit `show: false`, wird auf `ready-to-show` eingeblendet und wertet das Promise von `loadFile` aus. Load- und Renderer-Fehler bleiben sichtbar diagnostizierbar.
-
-## Versions- und Update-Brücke
-
-`package.json`, UI, Installer-Metadaten und öffentliche GitHub-Version lauten `2.0.1` beziehungsweise `v2.0.1`. Der ausgelieferte 3.3.108-Client vergleicht den privaten Gitea-Tag numerisch und würde einen Tag `v2.0.1` ablehnen. Außerdem existiert dort bereits ein historischer Tag `v2.0.1`.
-
-Der private Updater-Transport verwendet deshalb für diese Veröffentlichung den neuen internen Tag `v3.3.109`, während Release-Titel und Build `v2.0.1` anzeigen. Der neue Updater liest die Produktversion aus dem Release-Titel und fällt nur bei fehlender Produktversion auf den Tag zurück. Dadurch sieht 3.3.108 den höheren Transport-Tag, während 2.0.1 denselben Release anhand des Titels als bereits installiert erkennt. Künftige 2.x-Releases verwenden fortlaufende interne Transport-Tags oberhalb 3.3.108 und sichtbare 2.x-Titel.
-
-## Verifikation
-
-Regressionsfälle prüfen den real verwendeten Account-Submit-Core, die Startup-Konfiguration und die Produkt-/Transport-Versionsauflösung. Danach folgen vollständige Unit-Tests, UI-Smoke, wiederholte reale Starts, Windows-Build, entpackte Artefaktprüfung, Secret-Scans, isolierter Installer-/Updater-Test und erst anschließend die kuratierten privaten und öffentlichen Releases mit erneutem Download und Hashvergleich.

 # Lessons

-## 2026-08-07 — Einen kleinen Release nicht durch redundante Gates aufblasen
-**Symptom:** Die angefragten Änderungen waren implementiert und getestet, trotzdem lief die Arbeit durch wiederholte Status-, Review- und Harness-Schleifen übermäßig lange weiter.
-**Root cause:** Pflichtsicherheit, bereits belegte Wiederholungsprüfungen und optionale Zusatzdiagnostik wurden nicht hart getrennt. Technische Harnessfehler führten zu weiteren Schleifen, obwohl Produktcode und Kernlauf bereits grün waren.
-**Regel:** Nach grüner Implementierung genau eine risikogerechte Pflichtkette fahren: Tests, Build, Secret-Gate, realer Lauf, Positivliste, Veröffentlichung, Redownload. Bereits belegte Gates nicht wiederholen und optionale Diagnose sofort streichen, sobald sie die Auslieferung verzögert.
-**Wie anwenden:** Vor jedem zusätzlichen Check benennen, welche noch offene Release-Invariante er beweist. Beweist er keine neue Pflichtinvariante, wird er nicht ausgeführt.
-
-## 2026-06-21 — Das eigene Instrument lügt nicht, aber sein Log-Code kann buggen (`queue=undefined`)
-**Symptom:** Drei Builds lang jagte ich Read-Bursts (highWaterMark, threadpool), während der WAHRE Treiber
-eine 38,5-MB-electron-config.json war, die 137×/73s geklont/geparst/serialisiert wurde (~47% Main-Thread).
-Erst das in v3.3.98 eingebaute `config-load/config-serialize`-Log machte es sichtbar — aber mein eigenes
-Log-Feld `queue=` las `.length` auf dem pendingQueue-OBJEKT (immer undefined) und hätte mich fast in die
-falsche Richtung (pendingQueue statt history) geschickt.
-**Root cause:** (1) Ich hatte die config-Persistenz als „instrumentieren, nicht fixen" zurückgestellt (richtig
-für die unsichere Migration), aber den Lag-Treiber dort nicht früh genug vermutet. (2) Instrument-Felder selbst
-müssen verifiziert werden: `(obj || []).length` auf einem Objekt = undefined, still falsch.
-**Regel:** Wenn der User „es laggt unverändert" sagt obwohl die letzte Messung gut aussah, ist der gemessene
-Pfad NICHT der Hot-Path — sofort BREITER messen (jeden IPC-Handler, jede periodische Main-Op, Main-Thread-
-Longtask-Monitor), nicht den schon-gemessenen Pfad weiter optimieren. Und Instrument-Ausgaben gegen ein
-bekanntes Beispiel prüfen (zeigt `queue=` je eine echte Zahl?).
-**Wie anwenden:** Bei „Symptom unverändert trotz Fix": Hypothese fallen lassen, Coverage verbreitern. Log-Felder
-beim Schreiben mit einem realen Wert gegenchecken, nie blind `(x||[]).length` auf unklar getypten Feldern.
-
-## 2026-06-21 — „Brot finden, nicht Krümel": die EINE Änderung, die alle Kosten killt, schlägt drei sichere Teilfixes
-**Symptom:** Fix-Design bot loadShallow (Klon vermeiden) + cache-repopulate + resolution-cache. Adversary zeigte:
-loadShallow killt nur den Klon (~10s von 34s), die 38 Serializes (8,4s) + 38 Post-Write-Reparses (15,2s) bleiben,
-weil Writes den Cache nullen → loadShallow allein = Krümel.
-**Root cause:** Alle drei Kosten (parse+clone+serialize) entstehen daraus, dass history IM Hot-Config liegt.
-Nur history RAUS aus der immer-geladenen Datei (eigene electron-history.json) killt alle drei gleichzeitig.
-cache-repopulate-Gate feuerte nie (toter Code); resolution-cache hätte stale-Pools → Failover-Regression
-(rotation/byse) riskiert = die EINE Sache die Uploads STILL korrumpiert, schlimmer als Lag.
-**Regel:** Wenn der User „komplett wegmachen" fordert und mehrere sichere Teilfixes vs. ein riskanterer
-Komplettfix zur Wahl stehen: den Komplettfix nehmen, aber RICHTIG absichern (hier: fsync+verify-before-strip,
-permanenter .pre-history-split.bak, Migration packaged-only + per-Init nicht in load(), Crash-Window-Fallback,
-Test gegen die ECHTE 194MB-Fixture). Teilfixes die den Treiber nur anknabbern NICHT bündeln (verwässert Messung
-+ Risiko). Einen Fix der etwas STILL korrumpieren könnte (stale Account-Pools) NIE für Performance einbauen.
-**Wie anwenden:** Bei mehreren Fix-Optionen fragen: „welche EINE Änderung entfernt die gemeinsame Wurzel ALLER
-Kostenpfade?" — die nehmen und maximal absichern, statt N sichere Teilfixes die je nur einen Pfad treffen.
-
-## 2026-06-21 — Ein-Variablen-Disziplin: nicht zwei Fixes bündeln, wenn einer den anderen maskiert
-**Symptom:** Nach dem tp=8-Win wollte ich in EINEM Build A (1MB highWaterMark, Read-Burst) + B (Renderer
-chunked rAF Batch-Drain, der 243ms-Longtask) + C-Instrument shippen.
-**Root cause / Korrektur (Advisor):** Der Renderer war 14/15 Fenstern gesund; der EINE 243ms-Longtask (W14)
-ist laut beiden Agenten DOWNSTREAM des Main-Thread-Read-Bursts (geflutetes IPC). Fix A reduziert diese
-Stalls → der Renderer-Longtask verschwindet wahrscheinlich OHNE B. B mitzuliefern (a) verwässert die nächste
-Messung (war die Besserung A oder B?) und (b) fasst den Progress-Hot-Path an, der hier schon gebissen hat
-(formatDateTime-Burst, ghost-fix).
-**Regel:** Wenn Fix A einen vermuteten Symptom-Treiber X reduziert und Fix B genau X behandeln würde —
-NUR A shippen, messen, B nur nachziehen wenn X überlebt. Sonst kann das nächste Log nicht sauber attribuieren.
-Bei gekoppelten Symptomen ist die Reihenfolge (Upstream-Fix zuerst, dann messen) wichtiger als „alles auf
-einmal".
-**Wie anwenden:** Vor dem Bündeln fragen: „Maskiert Fix A die Wirkung, die Fix B beheben soll?" Wenn ja →
-entkoppeln, A zuerst, eine Variable pro Build.
-
-## 2026-06-21 — Nicht aus EINEM konfundierten Sample eine Ursache behaupten
-**Symptom:** Ich wollte dem User sagen „1-Sekunden-Persist-Freeze gefunden" auf Basis von W13 (max=1021ms,
-heap→142MB).
-**Root cause / Korrektur (Advisor):** W13 ist EIN Sample und konfundiert (hat gleichzeitig FSReqCallback=66)
-und das EINZIGE Heap-Spike-Fenster. Die anderen isolierten Maxes (W4 415ms/heap41, W10 852ms/heap18) haben
-NIEDRIGEN Heap → sind KEIN 140MB-structuredClone+stringify → eine andere Ursache (account-failed sync load()
-nahe Connection-Churn). Eine Behauptung aus einem konfundierten Punkt hätte den falschen Fix priorisiert.
-**Regel:** Bei isolierten Spitzen erst die Co-Signale (heap, FSReq, gc, Nachbarfenster) gegenchecken, ob sie
-EINE Familie sind. Wenn die Magnitude-Signatur (hier: Heap-Spike) nicht bei allen passt → es sind mehrere
-Ursachen. „Instrumentieren + bestätigen", nicht „gefunden", solange nur ein konfundierter Punkt existiert.
-**Wie anwenden:** Vor „Ursache X gefunden": gibt es ≥2 unkonfundierte Samples mit derselben Signatur? Wenn
-nein → als Hypothese formulieren und messen, nicht als Befund verkaufen.
-
-## 2026-06-21 — Histogram-Korrelation beweist KEINE Kausalrichtung; rss-Mathe als Sanity-Check
-**Symptom:** ELD-Spikes korrelierten exakt mit hohem `FSReqCallback` (File-Reads in flight) → ich wollte
-sofort ein Read-Concurrency-Semaphore über 5 Dateien bauen.
-**Root cause / Korrektur (Advisor):** (1) Korrelation ≠ Kausalität: hohe in-flight-Reads können auch SYMPTOM
-sein — ein aus ANDEREM Grund blockierter Loop drained die Read-Completions nicht, also stapeln sie sich im
-Snapshot. (2) rss-Mathe widerlegte meine „Read-Buffer ballonen den Speicher"-These: 70 Streams × 256KB ≈
-18MB, aber rss schwang ~300MB → das ist Heap-/Objekt-Churn (GC), nicht die Read-Buffer.
-**Regel:** Bevor ich auf Basis einer Histogramm-Korrelation einen Multi-File-Refactor baue: (a) Kausalrichtung
-mit einem BILLIGEN reversiblen 1-Zeilen-Hebel testen (hier UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE 64→8), (b) die Größenordnung
-gegenrechnen (passt die vermutete Quelle zahlenmäßig zur beobachteten Wirkung?), (c) den fehlenden Co-Faktor
-(GC) erst MESSEN, bevor ich ihn aus- oder einschließe. Ein Build kann gleichzeitig Kandidaten-Fix UND
-Diskriminator sein.
-**Wie anwenden:** Bei „X korreliert mit Y, also fixe X": erst fragen „könnte Y → X statt X → Y?" und „passt
-die Magnitude?". Wenn nein/unklar → erst der billige reversible Knopf + Messung, dann der teure Refactor.
-
 ## 2026-04-21 — DOM-Doppelrender bei Bulk-State-Changes
 **Symptom:** User klickt auf "Erneut versuchen" mit 500+ Jobs → App hängt sekundenlang.
 **Root cause:** `retrySelectedJobs()` ruft `renderQueueTable + updateQueueActionButtons + updateStatusBar` auf, `startSelectedUpload()` ruft direkt danach genau dieselben Funktionen nochmal auf.

-# v3.3.108 — session log filename: 6-digit uniqueness suffix
-
-User: append a generated 6-digit number to the session log filename, e.g.
-26-06-2026-mdu-session-06-02-847581.log. Dropping seconds/pid in v3.3.107 reintroduced same-minute
-collision risk on a fast close/reopen.
- formatSessionStamp(date, rand) appends `-${rand}` when rand is supplied (number or string), else unchanged.
- main.js stamps SESSION_ID = formatSessionStamp(new Date(), String(Math.floor(100000 + Math.random()*900000))).
- stripModeStampFromFileName newSessionRe gains an optional `(?:-\d+)?` so the suffix strips back to the base.
- Tests: stamp-with-rand (string + number), strip-with-suffix. 411 pass.
-Shipped: gitea v3.3.108 (updater latest.yml verified) + GitHub mirror (lib/log-mode.js, main.js, package.json,
-tests/log-mode.test.js only; tag repointed to the sanitized mirror commit, NOT the gitea history commit).
-

-
-# v3.3.107 — session log filename template → DD-MM-YYYY-mdu-session-HH-MM
-
-User: change the session log filename from fileuploader-session-YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS-<pid>.log to
-DD-MM-YYYY-mdu-session-HH-MM.log (hour-minute, no seconds/pid). lib/log-mode.js:
- formatSessionStamp(date) now returns `${DD}-${MM}-${YYYY}-mdu-session-${HH}-${MM}` (pid arg dropped; main.js
-  still passes process.pid, harmlessly ignored).
- resolveLogFileName session branch returns `${sid}${ext}` (the stamp is the full app-defined stem, baseName
-  ignored — single/daily still use baseName 'fileuploader').
- stripModeStampFromFileName recognizes the new format (^DD-MM-YYYY-mdu-session-HH-MM(.ext)$) and resets to the
-  default 'fileuploader' base (the new format embeds no base); the old daily + old-session strip regexes stay
-  for backward-compat with any persisted old paths. The compounding round-trip stays idempotent.
-Tests updated (formatSessionStamp, resolveLogFileName session, strip new-format, idempotency). 410 pass.

-
-# v3.3.106 — intermittent white-screen on startup (RDP/VM GPU) + export filename
-
-Two asks. (A) White screen: user sometimes gets a PURE-WHITE window on start (no error banner, NOT even the
-static menu bar) on a 12-vCPU Windows VM over RemoteDesktop. Workflow wn2k04x5t (2 agents + adversarial verify)
-nailed it by one airtight deduction: the BrowserWindow backgroundColor is DARK (#16181c, main.js:1228), so
-"white" can NEVER be an un-painted/loading/failed state — those all show DARK. Pure-white + no menu bar + no
-banner + SILENT eliminates every DOM/init/CSS/load mode (each leaves the dark styled shell, unstyled-black-on-
-white menu text, or the red init().catch banner) → the ONLY match is a GPU/compositor surface failure on the
-RDP virtual display adapter. Confirmed: NO disableHardwareAcceleration / disable-gpu / appendSwitch ANYWHERE,
-and child-process-gone (GPU) is log-only (matches the silent symptom) while render-process-gone pops a dialog.
-Renderer has ZERO WebGL/canvas/video (audited) → software compositing costs ~nothing and doesn't undo the perf
-work; a webContents.reload() doesn't disrupt uploads (uploadManager lives in main, torn down only on quit).
-Watchdog REJECTED: the GPU mode lets init complete, so an init-complete signal wouldn't detect the white screen.
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.106 (main.js — adversary's safe subset):
- app.disableHardwareAcceleration() at module top (before app.whenReady) GATED on RDP (process.env.SESSIONNAME
-  matches /^RDP/) OR a persisted gpu-disabled.flag (in userData). Zero-regression for local/console users.
- Auto-heal: on a GPU child-process-gone, write gpu-disabled.flag → next launch disables HW accel even if the
-  RDP gate missed (covers VM-via-console / bad virtual GPU). Self-healing after at most one white screen.
- Kept the child-process-gone/render-process-gone/did-fail-load instrumentation to CONFIRM on the server log
-  (caveat: root cause is the standard RDP-GPU bet, not yet confirmed on the affected machine — next white-start
-  log shows CHILD PROCESS GONE type=GPU = confirmed).
- (B) export-backup defaultPath: multi-hoster-backup-YYYY-MM-DD.mhu → DD-MM-YYYY-multihoster-backup.mhu.
-409 tests pass, clean boot (guard inert on non-RDP dev machine).
-
-DEFERRED (perf polish, workflow w5o2rpffx design ready): history JSONL + batch-start residual.

-# v3.3.105 — URGENT data-safety: config write fsync + account-wipe guard
-
-User report: after a server CRASHED during upload (NOT the v3.3.104 update — the other server updated fine and
-kept its accounts), the accounts/credentials were gone. Root-cause chain (in code): config writes were atomic
-(tmp+rename) but had NO fsync — a hard crash can leave electron-config.json truncated/unflushed → on restart
-load() reads the corrupt/empty file, falls to .bak, and if that's also bad returns empty DEFAULTS → the next
-settings/queue save persists EMPTY hosters → accounts permanently wiped (and the async _atomicWrite blindly
-copyFileSync'd the live → .bak, so an empty live could clobber a good .bak).
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.105 (lib/config-store.js + main.js — data-safety, no behavior change):
- fsync before rename in BOTH write paths: _atomicWrite (openSync+writeSync+fsyncSync+closeSync, then
-  guarded-.bak + rename) and main.js save-global-settings-sync (openSync+writeSync+fsyncSync+closeSync). A hard
-  crash can no longer leave a truncated config.
- _atomicWrite .bak is now GUARDED: read the live file and only refresh .bak if it's non-trivial (trim>2) —
-  an empty/truncated live can never clobber a good .bak (matches what the sync-save already did).
- WIPE-GUARD (_guardHosters): in save()/saveRotationCursors()/the sync-save, when the write does NOT
-  intentionally set hosters (config.hosters absent) AND the resulting hosters are all-empty, recover the
-  hosters from disk (_recoverHostersFromDisk tries live → .bak → .pre-history-split.bak) instead of persisting
-  the wipe. An EXPLICIT save({hosters:{}}) (user deleted all) is still allowed (hostersIntentional=true).
- load() gained a 3rd fallback tier: .pre-history-split.bak (the permanent v3.3.99 snapshot with accounts) so
-  load() itself recovers after corruption.
-2 new tests (post-wipe valid-empty live + .bak → guard restores; explicit empty NOT blocked). 409 tests pass.
-RECOVERY for the affected server: %APPDATA%\multi-hoster-uploader\electron-config.json.pre-history-split.bak
-(or .bak) → copy over electron-config.json with the app closed.
-
-DEFERRED (perf polish, workflow w5o2rpffx designs ready): history JSONL (append-only, kills per-batch 185MB
-rewrite + first-open parse via loadHistoryRecent tail-read + meta sidecar) and the batch-start one-time
-render/231ms residual. Do these AFTER the data-safety fix is confirmed stable.

-# v3.3.104 — virtualize the Recent-uploads panel (the last non-virtual table)
-
-v3.3.103 log (real 2464-job, 4-hoster batch → 95 concurrent): the statSync fix HELD (batch-start main spike
-336→231ms with 10× more jobs), and the whole 90s ramp to 95 active was PRISTINE (mean ~11ms, fps=32,
-longtasks=0). Residual: rapidly clicking tabs DURING the 95-active upload → renderer-longtask 210-221ms
-(proc=0ms = layout). Cause: the Recent-uploads panel (renderRecentUploadsPanel) rendered ALL sessionFilesData
-rows (≤2000) into the DOM non-virtualized — the exact analog of the History table pre-v3.3.102. Switching to
-that view laid out ~2000 rows.
-
-Workflow w23318hm0 hit transient 529 overload (no cached results); did the fix directly using the proven
-History-virtualization template + Playwright empirical verification (stronger than agent review for layout).
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.104 (renderer/app.js + styles.css):
- Virtualized renderRecentUploadsPanel mirroring History/_renderVirtualRows: tbody#recentFilesBody gets only
-  ~visible rows + top/bottom spacer <tr> (VIRTUAL_ROW_HEIGHT=28, OVERSCAN=10). Scroll handler (_onRecentScroll
-  rAF-coalesced) + ResizeObserver on .recent-files-table-wrap (doubles as show-trigger). _recentWorking holds
-  the sorted set. DROPPED the insertAdjacentHTML append-only fast path (a ~40-row window re-render is cheap);
-  every render re-renders the visible window. Scroll-position preserved on prepend (date|desc: scrollTop=0 at
-  top, else += added*ROW_HEIGHT).
- SELECTION SAFE: _buildRecentRowHtml already stamps `selected` from selectedRecentIds.has(row.order) per row,
-  so off-screen-selected rows render selected when scrolled in; selectedRecentIds stays the source of truth;
-  shift-select already uses _recentSortCache (not the DOM). applyRecentSelectionClasses toggling only visible
-  rows is correct.
- styles.css: .recent-file-row { height: 28px } so the virtualization math is exact (table already had
-  table-layout:fixed, so no column-jump fix needed unlike History).
- Empty-state guard: _renderRecentVirtualRows returns early when total=0 so it never wipes the "Noch keine
-  Uploads" message.
- PLAYWRIGHT-VERIFIED @2000 rows (bounded container): show-cost 118ms→2.4ms, DOM stays 29-39 rows, scroll maps
-  correctly (row1500→window@1486), scrollHeight exact (56014≈56000), off-screen-selected renders with class,
-  row height exactly 28. 407 tests pass, clean boot.
-
-Every large table is now virtualized (Queue, History, Recent). DEFERRED still (one-time/minor): batch-start
-~500ms first-render + residual 231ms main spike for 2464 jobs (one-time per batch); first-get-history-after-
-batch parse-cache/JSONL.
-
---
-
-# v3.3.103 — kill the batch-start 336ms main stall (synchronous statSync storm)
-
-v3.3.102 log (real 224-job batch): History virtualization CONFIRMED (no get-history on tab switch),
-steady-state pristine (fps=32, ELD 11.8ms). Residual = a ~6s BATCH-START spin-up burst: main ELD
-max=336ms @cpu=0%core + renderer-longtasks 196-391ms; settles to clean by +6s. Workflow w3bzkumo8
-(4 agents + adversarial verify) CORRECTED my hypothesis:
- My "uncapped renderer progress-drain" theory was WRONG: handleProgress only mutates JS + SCHEDULES
-  coalesced renders (rAF/200ms); render is already one-per-frame; main coalesces to ~50 latest-per-job/100ms.
-  Chunking the drain fixes nothing. ADVERSARY FOUND IT WOULD REGRESS: rAF throttles to ~0 when the window is
-  minimized (the common background-uploader state) → unbounded _pBuf backlog AND deferred persistQueueStateSoon
-  (last line of _handleProgressImpl) → terminal 'done' lost on close = the queue-persistence-ghost-fix class.
-  DEFERRED/REJECTED as sketched.
- REAL cause (cpu=0%core = blocked on I/O): synchronous fs.statSync storm in UploadManager.startBatch dedup
-  loop (lib/upload-manager.js:363-377): up to DEDUP_CHUNK=200 fs.statSync in ONE tick before yielding. 200 ×
-  ~1.68ms (measured on the VM) = the exact 336ms. Plus a per-job statSync (428). On a disk already saturated
-  by the 1MB read-ahead.
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.103 (lib/upload-manager.js — adversary's zero-risk headline fix, but the more thorough async form):
- Dedup loop: dedup synchronously (cheap Map ops), then stat the unique files in PARALLEL via
-  `await Promise.all(toStat.map(f => fs.promises.stat(f)))` per chunk → stats run on the libuv threadpool,
-  main thread NEVER blocks. Preserves the exact results-Map shape {name,size,results:[]} + dedup semantics
-  (size=0 on failure). The 336ms sync block → 0 main-thread block.
- Per-job statSync (428) → `await fs.promises.stat` (in an async fn before the first real await; cachedResult
-  fast-path already skips it for ~all jobs — consistency only).
- Tests: updated the fs.statSync mocks in upload-manager.test.js (2 sites) + suspect-reject-alternates.test.js
-  to also mock fs.promises.stat (returns the same fake sizes). 407 tests pass, clean boot.
-
-The renderer-longtasks (391/280/299ms) during the burst were (medium-confidence) the user's OWN tab clicks
-landing while the main thread was stalled — fixing the main stall frees IPC so those clicks stay responsive.
-DEFERRED still (only if needed): first-get-history-after-batch parse-cache/JSONL; the renderer chunked drain
-ONLY if ever needed for interaction-responsiveness AND gated on a high-water-mark sync drain + a
-document.hidden setTimeout fallback (never rAF-only).

-# v3.3.102 — virtualize the History table (the last tab-switch layout cost)
-
-v3.3.101's gate killed the get-history PARSE on tab switch, but the v3.3.101 log showed a RESIDUAL: tab
-clicks still 216ms with a ~197ms `renderer-longtask` and NO get-history (gate worked). proc=0ms → pure
-browser layout, not JS. Cause: `.view{display:none}`→`.active{display:flex}` + the History table builds up
-to 2000 `<tr>` NON-virtualized (renderHistoryTable), so showing the view lays out 2000 rows (~197ms on the
-RDP VM). The queue was already virtualized; history was the only non-virtual large table.
-
-MEASURED with Playwright (real DOM, this machine; VM ≈1.7×):
- current 2000 rows auto-layout: 118ms ; content-visibility+fixed: 117ms (USELESS — rows still laid out)
- cap 300: 16ms (but rejected: history rows are per-file×hoster, a single 1280-file batch ≈3840 rows, so a
-  small cap would HIDE a recent batch's links)
- virtualize (40 visible of 2000): 2.3ms ✓
-Verified the virtualization end-to-end @6000 rows: showCost 1.1ms, DOM stays 32-42 rows, scroll maps
-correctly (top=row0/mid=row2990/bottom=row5999), scrollHeight exact, columns STABLE (table-layout:fixed),
-rows update on scroll.
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.102 (renderer/app.js + styles.css):
- Virtualized renderHistoryTable mirroring the queue's _renderVirtualRows: header always rendered, tbody#historyBody
-  gets only visible rows + top/bottom spacer `<tr>` (VIRTUAL_ROW_HEIGHT=28, OVERSCAN=10). Scroll handler
-  (_onHistoryScroll, rAF-coalesced) + ResizeObserver on #historyContainer — the ResizeObserver doubles as the
-  show-trigger (hidden 0×0 container → visible size → re-render at correct height). Sort resets scrollTop=0 +
-  re-renders. Click delegation (copy-link / sort) unchanged. _historyWorking holds the sorted working set.
- styles.css: `.history-table{table-layout:fixed}` + scoped col widths (16/34/12/38%) so columns don't jump as
-  rows scroll in/out (does NOT touch the shared .col-* used by the queue). Measured: content-visibility was a
-  no-op, so NOT used.
-All rows stay scrollable (no UX loss); show cost ~100× lower. 407 tests pass, clean boot. Playwright-verified.
-
-DEFERRED still (only if needed): the FIRST get-history after a new batch parses 185MB once (~450ms) — needs
-the ConfigStore parse-cache (+185MB RAM, guarded) or JSONL. appendHistory still rewrites 185MB per batch-done
-(JSONL fixes that). The ~625ms batch-start spin-up + 107ms debug-log residuals.
-
---
-
-# v3.3.101 — History-tab lag: gate the unconditional reload + fix the diagnostics history regression
-
-v3.3.100's interaction instrument named the residual exactly: EVERY slow click was `button.tab`/`nav.tab-bar`
-(200–840ms), each coupled to `ipc get-history wall=150-200ms sync` + `main-longtask blocked=242-289ms
-lastIpc=get-history` + `renderer-longtask 200-248ms`. Uploads themselves pristine (ELD mean 11.7ms; the only
-spikes line up with the get-history tab-switches). Workflow wgxr06myb (4 agents + adversarial verify):
- get-history fires ONLY entering the History tab (not every tab) — but the handler called loadHistory()
-  UNCONDITIONALLY (app.js:362-365) despite tracking `_historyDirty` and never checking it. Each call:
-  synchronous readFileSync+JSON.parse of the ~185MB / 30000-entry electron-history.json (no cache), ships all
-  30000 over IPC, renderer flattens ~120000 row objects then .slice(-2000) for the DOM (DOM already capped 2000).
- Adversary safe subset = STEP 1 ALONE (gate the load, dirty-coverage verified complete: every append routes
-  batch-done→appendHistory + upload-batch-done→handleBatchDone sets _historyDirty=true). Zero risk.
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.101 (STEP 1 + a regression fix, both safe):
- renderer/app.js: gate `if (tab.dataset.view==='history' && (_historyDirty || !_historyEverLoaded)) loadHistory()`;
-  added `_historyEverLoaded`, set both flags inside loadHistory() AFTER the await succeeds (retry on failure).
-  → REPEAT History tab-switches (no new uploads) now do ZERO ipc/parse/flatten = instant. (Honest limit: the
-  FIRST History open after a new batch still parses 185MB once ~450ms — needs the parse-cache, see below.)
- lib/diagnostics-collectors.js + main.js: getHistory now reads loadHistory() not load().history — fixes a
-  CORRECTNESS regression I introduced in v3.3.99 (migrated mode → load().history is [] → remote diagnostics
-  reported totalBatches:0 despite 30000 real batches). Backward-compatible fallback kept. +2 regression tests.
-
-407 tests pass, clean boot.
-
-DEFERRED (adversary-flagged, by design — do only if the next log/user still shows pain):
- STEP 2(1) ConfigStore parse-cache for history (mtime+size key, invalidate BOTH _writeHistoryFileAtomic AND
-  _writeHistoryFileDurable, slice-before-push for 'all'-retention same-ref aliasing). Makes first-after-upload
-  switch instant + appendHistory read-half free, but ADDS ~185MB resident in main (NOT a relocation — adversary
-  corrected the design's false RAM claim). 
- STEP 2(2) slice get-history to last-N-batches: REGRESSION VECTOR (breaks browse/sort-all 30000), needs a
-  net-new paging/search-in-main IPC + UI that doesn't exist. Defer.
- JSONL append-only storage: the ONLY thing that kills appendHistory's 185MB-rewrite-per-batch-done AND the
-  parse entirely (tail-readable). On-disk format migration → own careful build.
- Two minor independent residuals from the sweep: ~625ms batch-start spin-up (synchronous 22-job build/prime
-  burst in one tick) + 107ms debug-log block mid-batch. Separate, low priority.

-# v3.3.100 — close the LAST measurement gap: renderer interaction timing (switches/clicks)
-
-User asked "haben wir wirklich ALLES gemessen, auch switches/wechsel?". Audit: main-side was already
-fully covered (IPC wrapper ≥50ms on every handler, main-longtask >100ms with lastIpc, config instrument);
-account switchAccount is a trivial sync Map-set + the rotation work is async (can't block) → already covered.
-The REAL gap was RENDERER-side: renderer-perf was upload-gated (idle clicks unmeasured) and only aggregate
-(no per-interaction latency, no element attribution). Closed it (renderer/app.js, additive, self-silencing):
- Event Timing API observer (`type:'event', durationThreshold:50, buffered`) → `renderer-interaction <type>
-  dur=Xms proc=Yms target=<el>` for EVERY UI interaction ≥50ms (switch/sort-header/tab/button), always-on,
-  names the element (id/class/data-action/aria-label). The direct "click→reaction" latency.
- Idle renderer-longtask logging: any longtask ≥100ms logged immediately (`renderer-longtask dur=Xms`),
-  not just during uploads.
-405 tests pass, clean boot. Now EVERY action — main or renderer, idle or under load — names itself if slow.

-
-# v3.3.99 — THE KILL: 38.5MB config-thrash → history split out of the hot config + full instrumentation
-
-THE ROOT CAUSE (from v3.3.98's instrument, the real "bread"): electron-config.json was **38.5MB** and got
-loaded/cloned/serialized **137× in 73s** on the main thread (140-592ms each) = **~47% main-thread occupancy**
-→ that IS the 1-2s button lag. The 1MB read-ahead was irrelevant against it. NOT the queue (`queue=undefined`
-was a LOGGING BUG: read `.length` on the pendingQueue OBJECT); the bulk is HISTORY — each batch-done appended
-the full per-file result list (`summary.files` w/ per-hoster URLs), 75 batches, default historyRetention='all'
-never prunes → unbounded. (5-agent workflow wz2g4bwka + adversarial verify; bench fixture confirmed 185MB =
-100MB history/30000 entries.)
-
-Why writes drove the storm: save-global-settings (queue-persist) did 2 loads + 1 serialize per call, and
-_atomicWrite NULLS the cache → next load is a full 38.5MB reparse. Even cache HITS structuredCloned 38.5MB.
-Per-job upload path makes ZERO config calls (selectUploadAuth/rotation take config by param) — pending=1280
-is NOT the driver.
-
-THE FIX (history split — kills clone AND serialize AND reparse at once; advisor-gated, adversarially verified):
- History moved to its OWN file **electron-history.json** (lib/config-store.js). _migrateHistory() runs ONCE
-  at init (packaged only), fail-safe: write history.json + fsync + verify count BEFORE the config is ever
-  allowed to drop history, keep a permanent `electron-config.json.pre-history-split.bak`. _loadImpl returns
-  `history:[]` when migrated → cached result is tiny → clones cheap; config file shrinks to ~KB on the first
-  save() → reparse cheap; _serializeForDisk writes ~KB → serialize cheap. loadHistory/appendHistory/
-  pruneHistory/clearHistory redirected to history.json (own write-queue, no-clobber guard); legacy config
-  path kept as fallback when migration fails. get-history/export-history go through loadHistory.
- REAL 194MB-FIXTURE VALIDATION: migrate 1.5s (1×), all 30000 entries preserved + .bak; load() 631ms cold
-  (1×) → **0.1ms** after strip; save() strips config **185MB→2.1KB**; loadHistory() still 30000. RESULT:
-  data-preserved=true, hotpath-fast=true.
- DROPPED per advisor (one-variable + risk): loadShallow (moot after split), Fix#2 cache-repopulate (dead
-  gate), Fix#4 resolution-cache (stale-cache → rotation/byse failover-regression class — the one thing that
-  could SILENTLY corrupt uploads). Fix#3 (this split) was the only complete fix.
-
-"MEASURE EVERYTHING" instrumentation (user demand) — all additive, threshold-gated, MHU_PERF=0 to disable:
- IPC handler wrapper (monkey-patch ipcMain.handle/.on) → `ipc <channel> wall=Xms sync=Yms` ≥50ms = the
-  button-press→response latency, hardened so a logging throw can never break IPC (Promise.resolve(p).finally).
- Main-process long-task drift monitor (setInterval 100ms) → `main-longtask blocked=Xms lastIpc=… gc=… gcMax=…`
-  for any single main-thread turn >100ms (catches GC, fs scans, serialize the IPC wrapper structurally can't see).
- config-store: caller attribution `via=<stack>` + `wqDepth=` on config-load/config-serialize lines; FIXED the
-  `queue=` logging bug (now reads pendingQueue.queueJobs.length).
-
-405 tests pass (9 new migration tests covering preserve-count, round-trip, save()-never-loses-history,
-crash-window fallback, idempotency). Clean Electron boot (9s, no errors). No repo pollution (migration packaged-only).
-NEXT LOG must show: config-load/config-serialize wall= drop to single digits (or vanish), main-longtask rare,
-ipc lines name any residual. If a residual remains it's pendingQueue (own follow-up, not a regression).

-# v3.3.98 — read-burst absorption (1MB hwm) + persist/load instrument; B (renderer) DEFERRED
-
-v3.3.97 (threadpool 64→8) was a DECISIVE win: mean ELD 200ms→~11ms at 70 active (18×), renderer healthy
-14/15 windows. User: "ganz flüssig isses noch nicht". A 5-agent ultracode workflow + adversarial verify
-localized the RESIDUAL to TWO distinct, measured spike sources (full data: subagents output wjskjo1xk):
-
-1. READ-BURSTS (tail W13/14/15, 15:18:53-19:04): FSReqCallback 66/70/46 vs threadpool=8 (~8.75× queue
-   depth), SimpleWriteWrap collapses to 7/4/24, mean climbs 12.9→30.3→41.9ms. GC EXCLUDED (gcMax ≤27ms
-   always). The FSReq↔SimpleWrite inversion at stable active=70/pending=1287 proves reads are CAUSAL, not
-   a symptom of a block elsewhere.
-2. SYNC CONFIG PERSIST (suspected): save()→load() reparses the WHOLE electron-config.json (1287-job
-   pendingQueue nested in globalSettings + full history) on every persist because _atomicWrite nulls the
-   cache; _serializeForDisk JSON.stringify(...,null,2) of all of it. W13's single 1021ms max with heap→142MB
-   fits a big synchronous structuredClone+stringify. CAVEAT (advisor): W13 is ONE confounded sample (also
-   FSReq=66) and the ONLY heap-spike window; W4(415ms,heap41) & W10(852ms,heap18) are LOW-heap → NOT persist
-   clones → likely the SECONDARY suspect: account-failed's synchronous configStore.load() per failure near
-   connection churn (W6 teardown had doodstream connect-timeouts). So: INSTRUMENT, don't claim "found a 1s
-   freeze".
-
-SHIPPED v3.3.98 (one-variable discipline — advisor cut B to keep the next measurement clean):
- A: highWaterMark 256KB→1MB in all 5 streaming read loops (hosters.js:291, doodstream:342, voe:245,
-  vidmoly:190 CHUNK_SIZE consts; clouddrop:108 inline — NOT clouddrop:12's 16MB server chunk). Keep tp=8.
-  Deepens per-stream read-ahead 0.43s→~1.7s (absorbs threadpool-queue latency so writes don't starve),
-  4× fewer read completions + allocs. Zero multipart byte-risk (Content-Length=preamble+fileSize+epilogue,
-  independent of chunk size). REVERSIBLE PROBE; read-semaphore held in reserve (trigger: FSReq still ~70 +
-  writes starved + mean elevated after 1MB).
- C-instrument (BROADENED per advisor): config-store.js times load() (full reparse, incl. account-failed
-  path) AND _commit serialize; logs `config-load wall=Xms cache=hit/miss hist=N queue=M` and
-  `config-serialize wall=Xms bytes=Y hist=N queue=M` when ≥20ms (perfLog hook set in main.js via
-  configStore.setPerfLog→logInfo). load() split into wrapper + _loadImpl. 397 tests pass.
- B (renderer chunked rAF batch drain, app.js:188-193 — the 243ms longtask at W14) DEFERRED: renderer was
-  healthy 14/15 windows and the one longtask is DOWNSTREAM of the main-thread read-burst flooding IPC.
-  Fix A should make it self-heal. Bundling B would confound attribution + touches the progress hot path
-  that bit before (formatDateTime burst, ghost-fix). Add B next round ONLY if renderer still janks after A.
-
-NEXT LOG answers 3 things cleanly: (1) did A kill the read-bursts (FSReq per-window + tail mean drop)?
-(2) is the persist/load actually heavy (new config-load/config-serialize lines + their wall/queue/hist)?
-(3) did the renderer self-heal from A alone (longtasks back to 0)? Then decide: persist refactor for v3.3.99
-(queue-out-of-config OR cache-repopulation — latter lower-risk but renderer's incoming globalSettings isn't
-default-merged like load() produces, so confirm merge-equivalence first), and/or B, and/or read-semaphore.

-# v3.3.97 — DECISIVE ELD finding: file-read phase-flip + threadpool 64→8 + GC instrument
-
-The v3.3.96 `eventloop-delay` logs gave the decisive signal. At CONSTANT active-count, the system flips
-between two regimes:
- HEALTHY (ELD ~11ms, rss 268–308MB): `SimpleWriteWrap ≈ active`, `FSReqCallback ≈ 0–1` (write/network-bound)
- BLOCKED (ELD 49–217ms, rss 540–610MB): `FSReqCallback ≈ active` (62–71 file reads in flight), `SimpleWriteWrap ≈ 0–4`
-ELD spike + rss balloon both track `FSReqCallback` → file-read path through the libuv threadpool, NOT crypto,
-NOT renderer, NOT GC-alone. All 5 uploaders read identically (256KB createReadStream); byse/dood/voe run
-through the GENERIC uploadFile in hosters.js (no dedicated module).
-
-Advisor caveats baked into the build (do NOT skip on re-measure):
-1. Causation UNPROVEN — high FSReqCallback could be a SYMPTOM (blocked loop can't drain read-completions).
-2. rss math kills "read buffers ballooned": 70×256KB ≈ 18MB, but rss swings ~300MB → heap/object churn (GC).
-3. Cheapest discriminator already wired: `UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE` 64→8 (1 line, reversible, NOT an upload cap;
-   8×256KB reads ≈ 100MB/s ≫ 41MB/s aggregate). Suspect tp=64 made it WORSE (removed read-serialization).
-
-Shipped v3.3.97 = candidate-fix + discriminator in one build:
- main.js:1 `UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE` 64→8.
- ELD line now also logs `heap=`(heapUsed) `ext=`(external) `ab=`(arrayBuffers) `gc=`/`gcTotal=`/`gcMax=`ms
-  (PerformanceObserver entryTypes:['gc'], reset per window).
-
-DECISION RULE for the next user log:
- ELD drops with tp=8 → read over-parallelism confirmed → keep 8 or productionize a DEDICATED read-semaphore.
- ELD high + gcTotal/gcMax align with spikes → heap churn → hunt the allocator (semaphore would be wasted).
- ELD high + gc flat → causation reversed (symptom) → pivot.
-WAIT for the next `eventloop-delay` log before any read-path refactor. NO upload cap (user rejected it).
