Restore using LazyRow's "contentPadding" property to add padding to just the
items while the entire section is allowed to extend to the edges of the screen
and so have enough room to draw items shadows without them being clipped.
This fixes the following two scenarios resulting in improper recordings:
- sponsored stories were recorded as shown as part of the impressions recording
for all the stories (both recommended and sponsored). Separated the two.
- sponsored stories were not recorded as shown if the user doesn't scroll.
This could happen if just toggling categories which would result in a new list
of stories to show. Will recheck after the time to settle if the composable is
shown.
A new way to be able to reliably record actual impressions of sponsored stories
was needed and based on this data we can ensure we are promoting fresh stories
(with fewer impressions) or the ones with a higher priority.
The default was already 8. This is now being moved closer to the source from
where the stories to be shown are emitted.
With the addition of sponsored stories at fixed positions having to support a
variable number of stories being returned from AppState#getFilteredStories
means increased complexity with no benefit.
This would shorten the time needed to layout all Pocket recommended stories
content in one go, though it may lead to shorten hiccups over a bigger period
of time.
