Research direction

Start by examining the ImageViewerFragment$Args and ImageViewerFragment$State entries identified in the crash's saved-state bundle, then reproduce the issue with a directory containing about 5,000 images and videos on Android 15. Trace what is retained when the viewer is backgrounded; done means leaving the built-in image viewer no longer causes TransactionTooLargeException.
