WalkthroughNew Episodes playback now snapshots the displayed episode list and starts it as a context queue. Playback carries context through media items, applies episode-specific resume positions, and coordinates completion and Smart Queue refill when the context queue ends.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Returning to an episode can restart it at an old position instead of its saved progress, which undermines the resume behavior this change is meant to fix. Smart Queue refills can also be skipped silently when the queue is trimmed during playback. Address both before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to Playback now coordinates saved queues with automatic and remote playback. Checks limit stale automatic actions, but recovery after interrupted updates and the trust placed in remote queue metadata remain partly unresolved.

@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/PlaybackActivationRequest.kt:
- Around line 21-27: Update PlaybackActivationRequest.consume to atomically
discard a pending request when a different episode activates, retrying if the
request changes concurrently. In PlaybackTransportHelper.restorePositionAndSeek,
only call PlaybackActivationRequest.set when mediaIndex differs from the
controller’s current media item index, so a seek on the current item does not
leave a stale request.

@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/service/ContextQueueContinuationCoordinator.kt:
- Around line 52-55: In the continuation advance before
player.seekToNextMediaItem(), set
PlaybackLifecycleSignals.serviceOwnedNaturalAdvanceEpisodeId to the current
media item’s episode ID after stripping queue prefixes, so the transition is
recognized as service-owned. Clear the signal after the transition using the
same delayed-clear behavior as
PlaybackIntroOutroController.finishAtEffectiveEnd.

@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/service/SmartQueueRefillCoordinator.kt:
- Line 56: Update SmartQueueRefillCoordinator and
QueueRepository.addRefillEntriesIfUnchanged so refill persistence accepts either
the unchanged queue IDs or the suffix remaining after the triggering episode’s
consumed prefix was trimmed. Keep the player snapshot check and reject all other
queue changes.

- Around line 667-668: In `LatestPlayAllFab`, memoize the result of
`latestPlaybackEpisodes(displayPodcasts)` with `remember` keyed on
`displayPodcasts` so unrelated recompositions do not repeat the episode-copying
and deduplication work. Keep the snapshot available during composition for the
existing first-podcast lookup and FAB visibility check.

Summary
Fix New Episodes playback jumping into an older show queue or resuming an unfinished episode at the wrong position. Tapping a row now plays that row and the remaining visible unfinished rows in their displayed order.
Fixes #1073.
Motivation
New Episodes rows used the single-episode playback path, which could reuse a previous show queue. Automatic transitions also treated a slightly advanced player clock as an explicit start position, bypassing saved progress. Updating the history timestamp before resolving resume policy could hide stale progress.

The report has no reliable reproduction details beyond using the current app version. Tests cover the identified queue and resume failure paths; live Cast playback still needs manual verification.
