📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe media session hook now retains position state by media item, reports a near-zero rate for non-playing states, and clears retained state when ownership or metadata ends. Audio and video controllers pass item keys and omit position state during loading. Documentation describes the new behavior. ChangesMedia session position synchronization
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change preserves media-session position across updates, but non-unique media titles can cause the wrong playback position to be restored for another item. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to use an immutable item identifier and correct the documented retention behavior. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use an immutable media-item identifier for positionKey.
asset?.title is not unique or immutable. If two items share a title, the second item can receive the first item's retained position during loading. Add an item ID to Asset and use that ID as positionKey.

Describe the retention condition accurately.
The hook reuses retained state when position is absent and positionKey matches. It does not detect loading or buffering directly. The audio and video controllers still publish a calculated position during buffering. State this condition instead of saying that loading or buffering always reuses the retained position.

P3: For repeat/loop of the same track (same positionKey), retainedPosition still holds the end-of-previous-playthrough time. When the restart is in loading, nextPlaybackState is "paused" and the key matches, so the stale end position is published frozen until playback resumes and currentTime (0) recomputes the position. This briefly shows the wrong time in native controls. Reset retainedPosition when the item starts fresh (e.g., when currentTime returns to ~0 for the same key) if that transient flash is undesirable.
