Subject: [PATCH] Keep animated video resizes smooth on iOS

Every layout pass with a new size recreated the framebuffer and rendered
synchronously on the render queue, blocking the main thread behind the
in-flight render. Animated layout changes (corner layout panel toggles,
rotation) dropped to a few frames per second. Size changes arriving in
quick succession now let the layer stretch the last frame and recreate
the framebuffer once the size settles; one-off resizes still recreate
immediately.
