Description

The featured images often blink after user actions. It usually happens after going to the post and then back but on this screenshot, it happens after a like. Using the app for 1-2 min will produce several blinks, however it's difficult for me to say what causes it as the images mostly don't blink.

Research direction

Start in the Reader flow and reproduce the reported blinking by opening a post, returning, and liking content while using the app for several minutes. Done means featured images remain stable across those actions and repeated use; the issue provides no file or test locations, so the relevant implementation and regression coverage must first be identified.
