πŸ’‘ What

Added findChildIndexCallback to the SliverChildBuilderDelegate in MediaGridSliver and updated the child MediaCard to use a ValueKey.

🎯 Why

When a list is rebuilt, Flutter needs to find the new position of existing widgets. Without this callback, it performs a less efficient search. This callback provides a direct lookup on the underlying data model, speeding up the reconciliation of the widget tree.

πŸ“Š Impact

Reduces the cost of rebuilding the media grid, especially for large lists or when items are frequently added, removed, or reordered. This leads to smoother scrolling and faster UI updates. The complexity is reduced from a potentially expensive element tree traversal to a direct O(N) search on the items list, which is a net performance gain.

πŸ”¬ Measurement

The improvement can be observed by profiling the application with Flutter DevTools. When scrolling or filtering a large media library displayed with MediaGridSliver, there should be fewer dropped frames and a lower build time for the grid widget.

Adds `findChildIndexCallback` to the `SliverChildBuilderDelegate` in the `MediaGridSliver` widget. This provides a more efficient way for Flutter to find widgets when the list is updated, improving performance for large or dynamic grids.

Also updates the `MediaCard` key to `ValueKey` to ensure the callback can correctly cast and use the key.
