fix(llc, ui): show a scraped image link as a link preview - #3116
A link that points straight at an image (e.g. https://…/flower.jpg) is scraped by the backend without a title_link, because the image has no og:url. The SDK only treated a scraped attachment as a link preview when it had both og_scrape_url and title_link. So this one:
showed twice in the composer, as an image attachment and as an empty preview card;
rendered in the message list as a plain image with no link.
Changes:
Attachment.type is url_preview for every attachment with an og_scrape_url, as on iOS, Android and JS. Giphy attachments have a title_link but never an og_scrape_url, so they're unaffected.
toJson sends the attachment's original type instead of url_preview, and copyWith/merge keep it. fromOGAttachment no longer defaults it to url_preview.
When the client has already scraped a link, the backend stores the attachment as sent. Flutter was the only SDK writing url_preview, a value the backend's own scrape never produces.
Stored messages now match the backend and JS: YouTube video, articles no type, direct images image.
Display is unaffected on every client, including older Flutter versions, because they decide by og_scrape_url.
attachment.g.dart has a one-line hand edit. json_serializable can't regenerate attachment.dart, even on master, because it rejects the AttachmentType getter. A scratchpad run confirmed the new annotation generates exactly this line.
The link row on the preview card and the composer's preview caption fall back to the scraped URL. The composer keeps the scraped attachment out of its attachment list, and its same-link check compares against the scraped URL.
This also enables the FLU-1088 e2e tests in hyper_links_test.dart and message_list_test.dart. "user sends a Unsplash link without a preview" only passed because the preview never rendered. It is now skipped for FLU-1089, alongside its YouTube and Giphy versions.
Stacked on #3105 (the e2e suite); GitHub retargets it to master once that merges.

Verification
attachment_test.dart:
a scraped image without a title link is a url preview;
toJson sends the original type, including after copyWith;
a scraped link with no type sends no type.
url_attachment_test.dart: the link row shows the scraped URL when there is no title link.
message_composer_url_enrichment_test.dart: the composer shows a scraped image as a single link preview.
Each new test fails without its part of the fix. All stream_chat, stream_chat_persistence and stream_chat_flutter_core tests pass. In stream_chat_flutter, only the local macOS goldens fail.
OG-scraped attachments are treated as URL previews, while serialization retains their stored attachment type. The composer displays and matches the scraped URL when no title link exists. Related widget and integration tests now cover these cases.
Changes: Link-preview attachment behavior

Summary
Attachment type and serialization packages/stream_chat/lib/src/core/models/attachment.dart, packages/stream_chat/lib/src/core/models/attachment.g.dart, packages/stream_chat/test/src/core/models/attachment_test.dart, packages/stream_chat/CHANGELOG.md
Attachments with an OG scrape URL are treated as URL previews. Serialization and copy operations retain the stored type. Tests cover image, video, and missing-type cases.
The composer and preview row fall back to the scraped URL when no title link exists. URL matching uses the scrape URL. Widget tests cover display of image links without duplicates.
The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up, but some attachment updates may not notify listeners, customers need migration guidance for the changed type behavior, and editing a link can refresh its preview unnecessarily.

Nit: this changes what type returns for scraped image and video links, so integrator code that checks type == AttachmentType.image (custom builders, galleries, filters) stops matching them, with no compile error. It's listed under 🔄 Changed, but a ! in the PR title might be worth it so it reads as a behavioural change.

- Line 1481: Update the preview reuse check in the URL-matching flow to return
when either `ogAttachment.ogScrapeUrl` or `ogAttachment.titleLink` matches
`firstMatchedUrl`. Reuse the existing attachment and avoid calling `_enrichUrl`
when either field identifies the detected URL.
Review comments at @packages/stream_chat/CHANGELOG.md:
- Around line 5-6: Update the `Attachment.type` changelog entry to explicitly
state that consumers selecting scraped images by `type` must migrate to
`rawType` to read the stored image type, including when the image has no title
link. Keep the existing behavior and serialization details in the entry.
Review comments at @packages/stream_chat/lib/src/core/models/attachment.dart:
- Line 94: Update Attachment.props to include rawType in equality comparisons,
so attachments with different serialized type values are not treated as equal
even when their computed type is urlPreview.

Reuse a preview when either URL identifies the draft link.
titleLink and ogScrapeUrl are separate fields. If titleLink matches the detected URL but ogScrapeUrl differs, this branch can call _enrichUrl again and replace the existing preview instead of reusing it.

Add migration steps for Attachment.type consumers.
A scraped image without a title link now reports url_preview instead of image. Code that selects images by Attachment.type must use rawType when it needs the stored image type. State that migration explicitly in this entry. (github.com) As per coding guidelines, a breaking-change entry under 🔄 Changed must spell out the migration for customers.

Include the stored type in attachment equality.
If two scraped attachments differ only in rawType, this getter returns urlPreview for both. Attachment.props compares type but omits rawType, so the attachments compare equal even though their serialized type values differ. A raw-type-only change can then fail to notify message listeners. Compare rawType in props as well. (github.com)
