💡 What: The optimization implemented
This PR optimizes the toggleLike failure handling in FeedNotifier. Instead of calling _fetchPosts() (which triggers a full network fetch of the feed), it now manually reverts the optimistic update for the specific post that failed.

🎯 Why: The performance problem it solves
Refreshing the entire feed on a single toggle-like failure is inefficient. It consumes unnecessary bandwidth, increases server load, and causes a full UI re-render of the entire feed, which can lead to a poor user experience (especially on slow connections or long feeds).

📊 Measured Improvement:
While I was unable to provide exact benchmark numbers due to environment constraints for running the full Flutter test suite, the theoretical improvement is significant:

  • Network: Reduced from 1 full list fetch (50 posts with nested joins) to 0 extra requests.
  • CPU/Memory: Avoided parsing JSON for 50 posts and recreating the entire state list.
  • UX: The UI now only updates the single affected post back to its previous state, avoiding the "jumping" effect often associated with full list refreshes.

A unit test was added to test/controllers/feed_controller_test.dart which verifies that fetchPosts is no longer called when toggleLike fails, and that the state is correctly reverted.

… refreshing feed

This change improves performance by avoiding a full feed refresh (network request and UI re-render) when a post like fails. It also refactors the FeedNotifier to use dependency injection for easier testing.

- Refactored FeedRepository to provide a Riverpod Provider.
- Refactored FeedNotifier to use the feedRepositoryProvider.
- Updated toggleLike failure path to revert the local post state in-memory.
- Added a unit test to verify the optimized behavior.
