Description
Expected behavior
The customization preferences are applied to all post details.
Actual behavior
If, right after changing the reading preferences, we swipe to an adjacent, already loaded, post, it doesn't apply the customization.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

- Go to Subscriptions
- Open a Post
- Swipe a few posts
- Open Reading Preferences
- Change some settings
- Go back to save the preferences
- Swipe back to a post that was previously loaded
- 🔍 The post detail screen for that post does not have the latest Reading Preferences

Trace how preference updates reach post detail screens and verify that previously loaded posts receive the latest customization; done means all post details reflect the updated preferences.
