There were missing keys from the generated JSON so the original reason for the conversion seems valid. I'm not sure what keys are dropped and if they're important though.

I did some testing and found some issues that may or may not be related: When switching sections auto.m3u8 takes ~1.5 s, /stream takes 7s->3.3min Ran into problem with session...

Looking at clover they seem to recommend have a top-level fetch and then pass the values as props to "primitive" components (https://github.com/samvera-labs/clover-iiif/blob/main/pages/docs/composing.mdx#L166-L191). For non-primitives like Viewer they pass the manifest...

Another refactor idea: Use React refs in place of state hooks to avoid the number of rerenders. For example structure navigation clicks cause a rerender of that component.

Here is the context where I was seeing this infinite loop: https://gist.github.com/cjcolvar/6045c3bab2bea66d8b02d65e553522a3

@dmolesUC This seems to be a particularly knotty thing in the code. From what I can tell Hyrax has a [CharacterizationJob](https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/blob/main/app/jobs/characterize_job.rb) which uses the Hydra-Works [CharacterizationService](https://github.com/samvera/hydra-works/blob/main/lib/hydra/works/services/characterization_service.rb) which calls Hydra-Characterization's [Hydra::FileCharacterization](https://github.com/samvera/hydra-file_characterization/blob/main/lib/hydra/file_characterization.rb)...

I think I found the source of the problem and have a PR to resolve it: #6925
