Morphe patch bundle 1.4.85

Boost for Reddit — broader animated gallery support

Changes

• Removes the .gif suffix restriction from animated gallery previews.
• Supports HTTP(S) progressive video, MP4, WebM, HLS, and DASH media sources.
• Selects the appropriate ExoPlayer source while preserving Boost data preferences, poster fallback, fullscreen routing, and selected-page-only playback.

User impact

• Animated gallery media using valid video URLs can now play inline instead of remaining on a static poster.
• Playback still falls back safely to the poster when disabled, unsupported, or unavailable.

Validation

• Canonical Android MPP, static gates, and bytecode-safety checks passed.
• Progressive playback was manually validated across the reported nine-item gallery in Boost Dev on Pixel 6 / Android 17.
• Rapid bidirectional swiping remained animated and flicker-free.
• HLS and DASH selection is covered by the source-contract regression test and reuses source classes already shipped by Boost.

Validation

• Final local release gate passed before publish.
• README SHA is aligned to the published MPP.
