What changed? Why?

docs/images/base-account/BasePayFinal.gif (7.9MB, 30fps) and docs/images/base-account/privy-base-auth.gif (3.7MB, 20fps) are heavier than an animated UI walkthrough needs. Re-encoded both at 12fps with a reduced color palette, same dimensions and same content:

  • BasePayFinal.gif: 7.9MB -> 5.5MB
  • privy-base-auth.gif: 3.7MB -> 2.1MB

Closes #1471.

Notes to reviewers

Only the two GIF assets changed, no .mdx content or references touched. Dimensions are unchanged, only framerate and palette size were reduced.

How has it been tested?

Verified output dimensions and frame count against the originals with ffprobe. Happy to try a different fps/palette tradeoff if reviewers spot visible quality loss.

BasePayFinal.gif (7.9MB) and privy-base-auth.gif (3.7MB) were shipped
at 20-30fps with a full-size palette, far more than an animated UI
demo needs. Re-encoded at 12fps with a reduced palette, same
dimensions:

- BasePayFinal.gif: 7.9MB -> 5.5MB
- privy-base-auth.gif: 3.7MB -> 2.1MB
