When a browser translation add-on rewrites the topic page, some post images stop rendering. If I disable the translator, all images show and the domains are correct. This looks like the translator mutates the cooked HTML in a way that bypasses Discourse’s upload URL rewriting/lazy-load logic.

**Environment**

- Discourse: 3.6.0.beta1-dev

- Hosting: standard Docker app container

- Uploads: Cloudflare R2

- With the translator **disabled** , reloading the same topic renders all images normally. Right-click “Copy image address” then shows the expected CDN URL.
