A decoder sizes an image from its header, so the row grows as soon as the
first bytes are parsed -- measured here at 421ms against a load event at
2407ms. Marking the row only once load fired left that first and largest
growth outside the compensation window, and scrolling back through history
still moved the reader by the full image height.
Rows are now marked from the moment an image mounts until loading finishes,
counted so a message with several images stays marked until the last one is
done. The listener also moves to the document: rows announce their images
while mounting, before a ref-driven listener on the timeline element would
exist to hear the first one, which is why the mount signal was being lost.
The fixture serves a real PNG and holds the response open, so the row grows
long before load the way a large image does; an SVG served in one shot lays
out and fires load together and cannot reproduce this. A companion assertion
checks the fixture still has that gap, so it cannot quietly stop testing the
timing it exists to test.
