Input from Gemini 3 Pro:
✦ I have completed the rename refactoring across the DevIndex backend services.
blacklist.json->blocklist.jsonwhitelist.json->allowlist.json- Renamed all relevant variables, config paths, JSdoc strings, and methods (
getBlocklist,getAllowlist,addToBlocklist) insideconfig.mjs,Storage.mjs,Spider.mjs,Updater.mjs, andOptOut.mjs.Changes pushed to
dev. Closing issue.
