4. Paste src/editPost.js → Enter

Configuration

const CONFIG = {
  mode: 'edit',         // 'edit' or 'undo'

  // Edit mode:
  postUrl: 'https://x.com/nichxbt/status/123456789',  // Post to edit

Notes

• Edit window: X allows unlimited edits on Premium (unlike Bluesky's 5-minute limit)
• Undo window: The undo banner only appears for ~30 seconds after posting
• Edit history is publicly visible — a small edit badge appears on edited posts
• Script navigates to the post URL automatically when postUrl is set
