Add Random/Preferred/None modes, preferred provider selection, and provider-order fallback. Catbox/Imgur/PostImages on Android via WebView; Electron CDP automation for Imgur/PostImages. Hide upload controls on web runtime.
Replace sync setState-in-effect with keyed remount and render-derived patterns in app, error-display, topbar-edit-modal, catalog-filters; use useCurrentTime() instead of Date.now() in hot paths; fix conditional hooks, passive scroll listeners, lodash path imports.
Added `useFileUpload()` and `uploadToCatbox()` to centralize upload behavior and remove duplicated upload code from `post-form.tsx` and `reply-modal.tsx`. The flow now routes Android to `FileUploader`, Electron to hidden-input + catbox upload, and web to a translated fallback alert with consistent upload UI state.
Replaced `import _ from 'lodash'` with specific named imports (`capitalize`, `lowerCase`, `debounce`, `startCase`) across 18 files. This reduces bundle size and improves tree-shaking efficiency.
Use Zustand selectors with custom equality functions to only subscribe to specific fields needed by components, avoiding unnecessary rerenders when transient state like updatingState changes. Extract offline indicators into separate components to isolate rerenders. Memoize card components in catalog and popular threads views.
Removed all fake posts for subplebbit description and rules, including dedicated routes, components, and all related logic across the codebase. Board admins can now pin regular posts if they want to provide a description.
