## Summary `desktop/src/features/terminal/TerminalSubstrate.test.mjs` can pass every test and then run the Desktop JS job out of memory several minutes later. This moves the React Testing Library unmount from `beforeEach` to `afterEach`, so no tree is still mounted when the jsdom window closes. Only the test file changes (6 insertions, 2 deletions). Commit (cherry-picked unchanged from a local flake-fix series): - `test(desktop): unmount every TerminalSubstrate tree before the window closes` ### CI sighting One sighting was found in the CI runs from 7 to 12 November 2026 that were searched: - 9 November 2026, "Desktop Domain / Desktop JS", run 42706004493 attempt 1 (on #9227; the rerun passed): - https://github.com/block/buzz/actions/runs/42706004493/job/129463488242 In that job the suite reported 6,950 of 6,951 passing. The log shows `An update to TerminalSubstrate inside a test was not wrapped in act(...)` at 21:54:33Z, then `FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory` at 22:02:17Z, and the file is reported as failed at file level (`test at src/features/terminal/TerminalSubstrate.test.mjs:1:1`) after 504.6 s. ### Root cause The file called `cleanup()` only in `beforeEach`, so the last test's tree was still mounted when `after(() => dom.window.close())` ran. If ThemeProvider's asynchronous palette update landed after that close, it re-rendered the substrate, the splash effect's palette guard passed, and `requestAnimationFrame` on the closed window started a fresh jsdom interval that nothing cleared. That 60 Hz loop repainted the banner into the test's recording `getContext` stub indefinitely, and `paintLog` grew until the heap limit. No individual test hangs, so a per-test timeout would not catch it. ### Fix `afterEach(() => cleanup?.())` unmounts every tree, including the last, before `after()` closes the window. The `beforeEach` call became redundant and is removed. No assertions change, and no timeouts, retries or sleeps are added. ### Related issue N/A (flake fix). No existing issue or PR for this failure was found. Three open PRs touch the same test file (#5057, #5485, #7777); none of them changes where `cleanup` runs. ### Testing Human testing is still required. This PR does not carry `buzz-review-completed`; the author has not yet run this test themselves on this branch. #### Verification of the fix (before this branch was split out) - The test file, 5 consecutive runs: 25 of 25 tests passed each time in about 6.8 s, with no `act` warning. - The CI out-of-memory failure was not reproduced with the real test file. Its mechanism was reproduced in a scratch harness with the same stubs: without cleanup before the window close, 3 of 3 runs left the palette unresolved at close, added 11,556 `paintLog` entries per 100 ms, kept one live timer, and never exited. With cleanup before the close, 3 of 3 runs added no entries, left no timers, and exited on their own. #### Local checks on this branch The push ran the repository's full pre-push hook set from a checkout of this branch's head (`7f4117340`), with no lanes excluded and without `--no-verify`. The branch is one commit behind `main`; that commit changes only mobile and docs files, none of them touched here. Ran and passed: - `branch-skew`, `push-head-scope` and `file-size-check` - `desktop-check` (`pnpm check`) - `desktop-typecheck` (`pnpm typecheck`) - `desktop-test` (`pnpm test`, the full desktop unit suite, which includes `TerminalSubstrate.test.mjs`) Did not run: - `rust-tests`, `desktop-tauri-checks` and `mobile-checks`. The hook selects lanes by changed path, and this branch changes no Rust, Tauri or mobile file. - Desktop builds and the Playwright E2E suites, which are CI-only. - `just ci`. - The 5-run repetition and the scratch harness above were not repeated on this branch. A green run does not prove the flake is gone: the failure needs the palette update to land after the window closes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Signed-off-by: mtoohey <mtoohey@squareup.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Toohey <contact@matttoohey.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Required-community guidance in the legacy app
The legacy desktop reads public NIP-11 metadata before each WebSocket connection.
Only requires_nip_fi: true shows the upgrade card. Missing/false requirements
keep the existing connection flow. Discovery failures retain an unknown-policy
state and continue the existing socket/authentication path; the relay enforces
admission. Query/fragment URLs keep their existing socket behavior; the native
discovery reader rejects them before making an HTTP request. Credentials never
reach a fallback dial. Only explicit required policy opens the upgrade modal. Switching
communities invalidates pending checks. The card does not
reset keys or remove saved communities.
The upgrade card directs public users to the fixed https://buzz.xyz URL to
download an up-to-date Buzz client on every supported desktop platform and for
every required community.
If the browser cannot open, the card shows the public URL for manual navigation.
Discovery never supplies a trusted download or sign-in origin.
