Vitor PamplonaandClaude Opus 4.8 a971f4389e perf(notifications): cut per-card composition cost on the notifications feed
The notifications feed is dominated by MultiSetCards, each rendering a gallery
of up to 30 author avatars. Profiling a loaded account showed the per-author
work on the main thread, not the GPU, as the scroll-jitter driver.

Three feature-preserving cuts:

- Hoist account-global reads out of the per-author avatar. The auto-play-gif
  setting and the logged-in follow set were collected once *per author* (~60
  redundant Flow collectors / coroutine launches per card). They are now
  collected once per gallery and passed down via LocalAuthorGalleryRenderContext.

- Dedupe the per-author metadata subscription. Each avatar fired
  UserFinderFilterAssemblerSubscription twice (via observeUserPicture +
  observeUserContactCardsScore); both observers gained a `subscribe` flag so the
  gallery subscribes once per author.

- Replace the per-event DateTimeFormatter day-bucketing in convertToCard with a
  LocalDate.toEpochDay() Long key (identical grouping, no Instant/ZonedDateTime/
  String allocation per reaction/zap/repost), and hoist the ZoneId lookup.

Measured before/after on a Samsung SM-T220 (loaded account, identical scripted
scroll, dumpsys gfxinfo): Slow-UI-thread events ~13 -> ~5 (~60% fewer),
95th-pct frame ~52ms -> ~38ms, janky frames ~13% -> ~10%. GPU timings unchanged.
