Strycher	006c365d25	feat(#282 ): send a Giphy URL instead of g:<code> for cross-client GIFs The picker emitted `g:<id>`, a convention that exists only in this Flutter client lineage's parseGif (inherited from upstream, not a MeshCore protocol feature). A recipient on stock or any non-lineage client has no way to expand it, so a GIF arrived as opaque text (#223). encodeGif now emits `https://giphy.com/gifs/<id>`, a form parseGif already matches, so: - stock clients receive a tappable URL they can actually open - Offband keeps rendering inline with no render-side change - legacy `g:<id>` payloads still decode, back-compat unchanged Cost is ~41B vs ~20B against a ~160B payload. A full message carrying sender prefix + reply mention + URL measures ~79B, roughly half the cap. Checked, and did NOT change, the outbound structured-payload guard in prepareContactOutboundText/prepareChannelOutboundText: Smaz.encodeIfSmaller declines to compress a URL (base64 overhead exceeds the dictionary gain) and Cyr2Lat passes unmapped ASCII through, so a GIF URL survives intact without widening the guard. Both pinned as regression tests instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>	5 days ago

feat(#282 ): send a Giphy URL instead of g:<code> for cross-client GIFs

The picker emitted `g:<id>`, a convention that exists only in this Flutter
client lineage's parseGif (inherited from upstream, not a MeshCore protocol
feature). A recipient on stock or any non-lineage client has no way to expand
it, so a GIF arrived as opaque text (#223).

encodeGif now emits `https://giphy.com/gifs/<id>`, a form parseGif already
matches, so:
- stock clients receive a tappable URL they can actually open
- Offband keeps rendering inline with no render-side change
- legacy `g:<id>` payloads still decode, back-compat unchanged

Cost is ~41B vs ~20B against a ~160B payload. A full message carrying sender
prefix + reply mention + URL measures ~79B, roughly half the cap.

Checked, and did NOT change, the outbound structured-payload guard in
prepareContactOutboundText/prepareChannelOutboundText: Smaz.encodeIfSmaller
declines to compress a URL (base64 overhead exceeds the dictionary gain) and
Cyr2Lat passes unmapped ASCII through, so a GIF URL survives intact without
widening the guard. Both pinned as regression tests instead.
