IconClickFallbackImage needs width and height

<IconClickFallbackImage> should have width and height attributes

WarningAmbiguousIAB VAST 4.2 §2.4.5VAST 4.2 and 4.3

Short answer

VAST 4.2 added <IconClickFallbackImage>. Without width and height, the player cannot reserve space for the fallback image.

`<IconClickFallbackImage>` (added in VAST 4.2) should carry `width` and `height` attributes so the player knows the dimensions of the fallback image before fetching it.

Why this matters in production

This rule is a strong risk signal. Tags with this issue often still parse, but they become brittle across SDKs, SSAI resolvers, and CTV environments. Ambiguous rules matter because undefined behavior shifts between vendors. Fixing them reduces the chance that two standards-compliant systems interpret the same tag differently. Affected scope: VAST 4.2 and 4.3.

How to fix

Add width and height attributes to <IconClickFallbackImage> so the player knows the dimensions before fetching.
