Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1855763

:emilio, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1855763, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

Same assumption as in bug 1860424 it seems :/

                }, x = function(t) {
                    var e = "";
                    return Reader.Env.vendor && "ms" !== Reader.Env.vendor && (e = "-".concat(Reader.Env.vendor, "-")), "".concat(e).concat(t)
                }, function() {
                    s = x("transform"), l = x("transition"), f = x("transform-origin"), c = s, Reader.Env.ie && (c = "-ms-transform");
                    var t = function() {
                        if (!Reader.Env.ie) return h;
                        switch (Reader.Env.browserVersion) {
                            case 8:
                                return g;
                            case 9:
                                return v;
                            default:
                                return h
                        }
                    }();
                    return t.animationStart = b, t.animationEnd = w, t.isAnimating = function() {
                        return a
                    }, t
                }())

Spoofing the user-agent as chrome works, at a glance, fwiw. Might be worth contacting them since the fix is triviall-ish most likely?

This online brochure is part of https://www.publitas.com/ and is used on many online stores, their website mentions they have 2000+ customers and there are 80 million monthly readers. So far besides ALDI, I've seen these catalogues on Metro, Williams Sonoma, Hammacher Schlemmer, MoMa store, Jumbo websites.

There are brochures hosted on https://view.publitas.com, brochures embedded with an iframe and self-hosted brochures.

We can spoof the UA for pages hosted on their servers:
https://view.publitas.com/jumbo-supermarkten/jumbo-actiefolder-sjwg-46/page/34-35
https://view.publitas.com/momastore/moma-design-store-holiday-gift-guide-2023/page/12-13
https://view.publitas.com/hammacher-schlemmer/summer-remail-2023/page/8-9

That would also work for embedded ones, like:
https://www.williams-sonoma.com/pages/williams-sonoma/ecatalog/ecatalog-ws-2023-holiday2/
(this brochure actually displays fine, but overlays don't work, so it's impossible to click on products)

For self-hosted, we can probably spoof per site, though not sure how many sites are affected and it looks like it's being used on popular stores, like ALDI and Metro in multiple countries.

I can try to contact Publitas and we also can ship an override. Emilio, just wanted to check if this plan is ok with you?

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez [:emilio]]

Yeah that seems like a reasonable plan forward. We can hold this in nightly for a bit and re-evaluate once all the zoom spec issues are sorted out. Thanks!

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez [:emilio]]

Just fyi, after talking with Tom we are going to try something in bug 1865332 which should solve these bugs while hopefully not being incompatible with CSS zoom.

Of course getting sites fixed if possible is even better.

Thanks, I can test whether the patch fixes these and maybe the overrides can be removed then :)
I've also contacted support here https://support.publitas.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and received a ticket number #52483.
