## Issue
6301: don't use CDN for GIF thumbnails
## Note
Just a minor mistake in the recent thumbnail refactoring; left out the handling when `allowGif` is true.
While Lighthouse allows looser searching like "Tom from LBRY", it doesn't show the expected results when direct channel name with partial ID is entered to disambiguate.
## Issue
6236 Add context menu to file page
## Notes
The download button actually handles a lot of things -- generating 'streamingUrl', differences between Web and Desktop, download progress for Desktop, etc. A simpler fix would be to put something else (maybe "Share") into the overflow menu instead.
Anyway, went ahead to do it per 6236, but retained the item for Desktop since we need a progress label.
This is the list of channels that authorized me as a moderator.
Similar to `moderation.BlockList`, this will only be fetched at startup/reload for now. I don't think there is a need to constantly monitor this. Users just need to refresh to see the moderator GUI elements after the delegator has granted them access.
## Issue
Closes 6159 "Support Comments Enabled/Disabled for comment.List API"
## New behavior
- `disable-comments` tag will block the comments component entirely.
- `settings.commentsEnabled`:
- When false, will pause comment fetching, posting and replying.
- Any already-fetched comments will stay on screen (unless user reloads/F5).
(1) Reduced the debouncing duration so that the final element can be rendered asap after visible.
- If the user is scrolling non-stop, it would continue to debounce and the GUI ends up not showing the final element.
- 25ms seems enough to prevent the initial false-positive that occurs in the scenario of "adjacent/upper elements resized late, so our element was briefly on screen when mounted". If not enough, we can make this a parameter.
(2) Removed `lastUpdateDate` that was a quick hack for Recommended section. We don't use it on that element anymore, so remove the hack to keep the file clean.
(1) The previous code assumed the element is always smaller than the screen. When used on large items like "homepage categories", it'll never load because the element exceeds the screen width or height.
(2) Added optional placeholder element. This allows us to put a cheaper element while waiting, so that the layout doesn't shift when we finally render. This is visually better when scrolling, and complies with Web Vitals.

## Issue
5873 Unify swap and buy flow // swaps round 2
## Changes
- Added "Buy|Swap" tab in the Buy Page and display the Swap component when needed.
- Removed 'Swap' button from Wallet Page.
- "Buy More" and related tooltips updated to "Buy or Swap Credits".
1. Lock the width of the second pane so that the layout doesn't shift after the image is fetched.
2. The image is huge, so pass through the optimizer.
- Wait until the container is mounted to get the exact image width.
Unfortunately, it still takes 0.8s on average to fetch the image, regardless of how small the image has been optimized.

## Issue
6135
While waiting for the lazy-loader IntersectionObserver to initialize, and for the real image to be fetched, an undefined `src` results in the "broken image" thumbnail.
## Fix
Use a transparent image as the starting point. This visually retains the current behavior but minus the "broken image" part.
## Issue
GUI fix for 5979 `claim search runs twice sometimes and "refreshes" view`
The search query might encounter minor alterations after rendered (e.g. for the case of 5979, the `moderation.Blocklist` data came late). The code currently resets the result to 0 before initiating `claim_search`, so we see the GUI blink.
## Idea
There is a possibility that the query-change does not alter the final results in the end. Instead of reseting to the results to zero, hold on to the previous results until the fetch is done.
## Known issue
The tiles no longer blink if there is no change, but the "LIVE" indicator still does. I didn't want to propagate the info too deep, so leaving as is for now. It can be considered a feature ("blinking LIVE indicator" :))
## Results
- No blinking if results stay the same.
- Minimal tile-shifting if new ones are added or removed.
- In the current Odysee homepage, reduced React commits from 88 to 76 (save some CPU cycles).
## Changes:
1) TagSearch: hide the "control tags" in the Creator Settings page (irrelevant).
2) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Channel (let's use `setting.CommentsEnabled` instead).
3) TagSearch: show the "control tags" when creating/editing Content (`disable-comments` can be used to block comments at the per-claim level, e.g. allow comments in general but block only for specific claims).
## Missing pieces:
For (2) and (3), some work is needed to hide the comment GUI when `setting.CommentsEnabled` is disabled for a particular channel. That flag is not ready in Commentron yet, so I'm not sure how this will be done at the moment. In other words, the checkbox does nothing at the moment.
## Potential flaw:
This change will hide all control tags. If we have more tags in the future and would like to selectively disable some, we'll have to change this parameter to an array instead. Since the usage is not widespread at the moment, a single `disableControlFlag` seems cleaner (don't over-think it yet).
## Issue
Part of `5834 Performance investigation`
In a homepage with 120 tiles, the lists get rendered 3 times during initial update. The sub-components are updating recursively (will investigate), so instead of 120 DateTime renders, we have 1000+ renders.
The resolved DateTime string for `timeAgo` rarely changes, and even if the string was "a few seconds ago", there's no real need to constantly update it.
## Change
Require a minimum 1-minute delta when deciding whether the component should update. Clients can change this value as needed.
## Test
- [x] Verified `shouldComponentUpdate` doesn't end up taking more time than not having it (it's in micro-second range, compared to the millisecond render).
- [x] Profiler showed no significant improvement for low number of DateTime components, but for the 120 DateTime case, almost 1/4 of a second is saved.
- FileRenderInitiator: we don't display if it's not Audio or Video ("playables"). But only do that if it's free or was purchased, otherwise there's no button to buy it.
- FileRenderInline: if the user have not purchased it, don't show anything (not even the spinner).
## Issue
When opening a video directly in Chrome Incognito, the video should autoplay (since that's the default Lbry setting), but it doesn't due to browser policy
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes
## Changes
- We don't want to forcefully mute the video when `autoplay=true`; we just want to do it when the browser policy is applied.
- Fortunately, there is already an existing code-block for us to check that.
## Test cases
- [x] "Autoplay=Off" should not be affected.
- [x] After manually unmuting, the next autoplayed video should not be muted (this is "user interacted" opening, so the policy allows autoplay)
- [x] If manually muting, the next autoplayed video should retain user's last setting.
## Known issues
- I've seen `error` occasionally being undefined in the `catch` block. In those cases, the solution doesn't work. We could remove `if (player.autoplay() && !player.muted())` and simply just try muting it, but for now it's better to ensure `NotAllowedError` is due to unmuted first before applying the fix.
- This doesn't work for Firefox as there is an explicit "Allow Autoplay" button in the address bar that user needs to click themselves. Applies to all sites.
It's useful to show the thumbnail as the player's backdrop when Video Autoplay is OFF, but it's a wasted fetch when it's ON because the videojs component will be blocking it.
Although it's the same image as the ClaimPreview, this one will be in full size, so a fetch will always happen.
Aside: videojs handles the backdrop for the audio and embed case, so this change won't affect those items.
```
<VideoJs
poster={isAudio || (embedded && !autoplayIfEmbedded) ? thumbnail : ''}
/>
```
Future: for "mobile + autoplay=OFF", we should consider using the optimized thumbnail. 6074 should help.
