 opportunity. Two things that look like causes and are not: the subtitle auto-selection
 costs 20–200 ms, not seconds, and the seek itself is about 900 ms.
 
+**Playback position has one ordered exit path.** Ten-second progress updates, pause/seek
+updates and the final Stop all pass through `EmbyRepository`'s `playbackReportMutex`, so a
+slow older Progress request cannot complete after Stop and move Emby's saved playhead back.
+`PlaybackStopWorker.enqueue` still writes the final position to WorkManager first, but also
+sends it immediately from the repository's process scope — leaving the activity no longer
+means waiting for WorkManager before Emby Web can resume at the right frame. A successful
+immediate delivery cancels that exact fallback request, not the unique work name, because a
+newer stop for the same playback session may already have replaced it. The worker drops a
+report after 60 seconds: a late retry overwriting progress made in another Emby client is
+worse than losing an old fallback. `PlaybackStopWorkerTest` pins that freshness boundary.

+**Playback keeps the selected title visible while it starts.** The launcher hands
+`PlayerActivity` the backdrop it already has, and `player_loading.xml` holds that artwork
+under a dark wash rather than replacing it with an almost-black field. This is intent
+metadata, not another playback-path request; it is saved across recreation and replaced by
+the next episode's landscape artwork during auto-advance. On the station-style pre-roll, a
+television episode replaces the Memby mark at top-left with the programme's own logo and
+puts its episode code and title directly beneath it. The same hierarchy is repeated by the
+five-second ident once the first frame lands. `seriesName` and `episodeCode` travel with the
+resolved `Playable`; a missing or failed logo falls back to the series name instead of
+leaving an empty corner. `PrerollScreenshotTest` and `PlaybackIdentityScreenshotTest`
+record the pre-roll, the first-frame ident and the backdrop loading state under
+`build/screenshots/sonarr-preroll/`, `build/screenshots/playback-identity/` and
+`build/screenshots/playback-loading/`.

 **The local Memby preroll is prepared while Home is idle.** `PrerollPreloader` owns one
 process-scoped ExoPlayer for `res/raw/emby_preroll.mp4`; `MembyApp` queues its first prepare
