 ### Git / ngit publishing
 - Push: `git push origin main` (handled by `git-remote-nostr`; publishes a signed repo-state event).
 - Login (once): `ngit account login --interactive` → scan the QR in Amber ("Add a new application → Connect app"). Plain `ngit account login` errors; the `--interactive` flag is required.
-- The NIP-65 write list contains a dead relay (`wss://wotr.relatr.xyz`), which makes `ngit repo edit` fail unless run with `--repo-relay-only`. Local git config `nostr.repo-relay-only true` is set as a workaround. Fully fix by removing that relay in the app (Settings → Relays).
+- The NIP-65 write list contains a dead relay (`wss://wotr.relatr.xyz`), which makes `ngit repo edit` fail unless run with `--repo-relay-only`. Local git config `nostr.repo-relay-only true` is set as a workaround. Fully fix by removing that relay in the app (Settings → Relays). **Done in defaults 2026-09-28**: removed from `App.tsx` `defaultConfig`, `NostrSync` `NEW_USER_RELAYS`, `NostrProvider` `DEFAULT_RELAYS`, `TestApp`, and the CVM `DEPLOY.md` example. ⚠️ Existing accounts keep it in their **stored** config until they remove it themselves (no migration applied).
 - `git push` may print a benign `cannot lock ref ... incorrect old value provided` retry warning; verify with `git fetch origin && git rev-list --left-right --count origin/main...HEAD`.
