compose: Raise Paparazzi test worker heap to avoid OutOfMemoryError

[andremion]

Goal

./gradlew :stream-chat-android-compose:recordPaparazziDebug fails with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. The same can happen on verifyPaparazziDebug.

Paparazzi tests do not run in the Gradle daemon. They run in a forked unit test worker JVM, and that worker's heap is sized separately from the daemon. The compose module never sets a heap for the Test task, so the worker falls back to a 512 MB max heap. Passing -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx... on the command line does not help, because that only sizes the daemon, not the worker.

The compose snapshot suite has grown (more tests and larger renders). recordPaparazziDebug renders and compresses every snapshot in that worker, and the peak usage now exceeds 512 MB, so it runs out of memory during PNG compression.

Resolves AND-1299

Implementation

Set maxHeapSize = "4g" on the compose module Test tasks:

tasks.withType<Test>().configureEach {
    maxHeapSize = "4g"
}

This is scoped to the compose module only, since it is the only module using the Paparazzi plugin and no other module has shown this issue.

Testing

1. On develop, run ./gradlew :stream-chat-android-compose:recordPaparazziDebug. It fails with OutOfMemoryError in ApngWriter.compress.
2. On this branch, run the same command. It completes without the memory error.

To confirm the worker heap without a full record run, you can check the effective value:

• Before the change, the forked testDebugUnitTest worker reports a 512 MB max heap.
• After the change, it reports 4096 MB.

Walkthrough

The Gradle build script for stream-chat-android-compose is updated to configure all Test tasks with a maxHeapSize of "4g", accompanied by comments explaining the change relates to Paparazzi snapshot rendering memory requirements.

Poem

A rabbit hops with heap so wide,
Four gigs of memory, snapshots survive,
No more crashes mid-Paparazzi test,
Just green checkmarks, memory at its best! 🐇💾
