Fixed
- The app no longer keeps every scrolled-past post in memory. A timeline appended
every loaded page to its list and never dropped anything, so posts, their DOM and the
matching states entries piled up for as long as the reader kept scrolling. Measured
against a build: ~37 DOM nodes and ~0.12 MB of heap per post, with no ceiling — 520
posts came to 19.6k nodes and 74 MB. Upstream's state GC could not reclaim any of it,
because it deliberately skips posts that are still mounted. A browser tab gets closed
or reloaded and never notices; the Android app is one process that stays alive for
days. Timelines now keep at most 200 posts mounted, which holds the same run at ~8k
nodes and lets the GC clear the rest. The reading position is unaffected — an anchored
post stays put to within 0.4 px when older ones are dropped.
- Aborting a link preview no longer raises an unhandled rejection.
StatusCard cancels
its unfurl request when a post unmounts but never caught the resulting rejection; with
posts now unmounting during scrolling, that fired on every trim.
