Valve.js would also work, since it allows access to the innertube.

I would advise against this on pure UX grounds due to the existence of Valve the game software company.

They could name it after a type of valve. Stopcheck.js has a nice ring to it and seems kind of apt here.

Presta.js if you want to please the cyclists :D

And that would totally not infringe on anything else, right.

It probably wouldn't, because it would be clear that it's got nothing to do with Valve the gaming software company. Trademarks aren't blanket coverage of any possible uses of a name.

Not really, there are rigid categorisation of trademarks (Nice Classification). All software is in Class 42 (https://www.wipo.int/classifications/nice/nclpub/en/fr/?basi...) so Valve would actually have standing here.

PS: Nice here refers to the French town (compare to Berne Convention, Geneva Convention, Treaty of Paris), not the common meaning in English.
