Description
Per discussion with @lbryio/appsquad and @kauffj, we think the SDK should provide a cleaner/clearer canonical URL when a channel is present that doesn't include a short ID on the claim. 99.99% of the time, we won't have 2 of the same claim names on a channel, so we should drop the short url suffix on the claim name when a channel exists.
The app does not allow publishing to the same claim name twice in the same wallet, and we don't plan to change this.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; begin by locating the SDK's canonical URL generation entry point and reviewing how channel claims and short IDs are represented. Use the stated channel-with-claim behavior and the linked historical discussion to define regression coverage, with completion shown by canonical URLs omitting the claim short ID when a channel is present.
