 /**
- * NodeBB Ezoic Infinite Ads — client.js v2.0.0
+ * NodeBB Ezoic Infinite Ads — client.js v2.2.0
  *
- * Complete rewrite: performance optimization, CMP/TCF fix, clean architecture.
- *
- * Key changes from v1.x:
- * - TCF locator: debounced recreation instead of per-mutation, prevents CMP postMessage null errors
- * - MutationObserver: scoped to content containers instead of document.body subtree
- * - Console muting: regex-free, prefix-based matching
- * - showAds batching: microtask-based flush instead of setTimeout
- * - Warm network: runs once per session, not per navigation
- * - State machine: clear lifecycle for placeholders (idle → observed → queued → shown → recycled)
+ * Based on working v2-fixed with targeted fixes:
+ * - Ezoic API: showAds() + destroyPlaceholders() only (per official docs)
+ * - cleanup(): destroyAll() before DOM removal, only on real page change
+ * - Recycling: conservative threshold (-3vh), age/inflight guards
+ * - aria-hidden: MutationObserver protection
+ * - Empty check: more conservative timing and GPT slot awareness
