### Problem Description
As a user, I sometimes want to hide watched videos in my subscriptions only sometimes. Rather than have to enable and disable a permanent setting, I would like to be able to do it on a whim and have it revert when it's no longer desired.
### Proposed Solution
Implement transient toggle switch somewhere on the Subscriptions page (like the `ft-refresh-widget` or the top of the page) that overrides the "Hide Videos on Watch" preference until the route is changed.
### Alternatives Considered
Have the toggle override the default setting for the session instead of just until route change.
### Issue Labels
ease of use improvement, improvement to existing feature

Research direction
Start at the Subscriptions page and inspect the ft-refresh-widget or page-level controls, then trace the existing "Hide Videos on Watch" preference. Done means a transient toggle can override that preference on the page and automatically revert when the route changes; verify both enabled and disabled preference states.
