Research direction

Start by reproducing the image and video cases using the linked Community Notes posts, including after the matching noted post is deleted, on the listed Windows/Chrome and Android environments. Trace the note-add and deletion handling paths; done means a note can be added to the remaining post in both media cases without the glitch.
