Extracts the media-releases fix into packages/widgets/src/common/offscreen-rows.ts and
applies it to the remaining widgets whose list length is decided by remote data rather
than by the tile: rssFeed, notifications and the calendar event list. Images in those
lists also get loading="lazy" - the rss cards carry two each, a backdrop and a poster.
The measured basis, from media-releases where the pattern was found:
image requests 135 -> 55 (-59%)
layout objects 8346 -> 5117 (-41%)
Scope was chosen deliberately rather than applied everywhere. 26 widgets use ScrollArea,
but on the measured board only two rendered more than their tile could show, and
content-visibility is not free: it costs a little containment work, and on content that
measures itself - charts, editors - skipping layout can be actively wrong. The widgets
changed here are the ones where overdraw is a function of how much data an integration
returns, so a user with a busier instance hits it even though this board does not. Chart
and fixed-size widgets are deliberately left alone.
Honest scope note: unlike the media-releases change, these three are NOT measured. On the
test board rssFeed renders 7 nodes and the calendar's 7 rows fit their tile, so there is
nothing to improve here to observe - the benefit only appears with more data than this
backup has. They are typechecked and lint-clean. docs/perf/NEXT-STEPS.md tracks them
alongside the media-requests change as pending verification.
A duplicate `style` prop on the notifications Card was caught by typecheck and merged
rather than left to override the existing colour and text-decoration styles.
