+# [XS] The watch buffering spinner never covers the paused play button
+
+## Goal
+
+While `<moq-watch>` is paused, its buffering indicator stays hidden, so the
+centre play button is always clickable, and Interop's resume step never times
+out on it.
+
+## Plan
+
+Found in #5174 (2026-10-10): in Interop run 38013145379 the `cpp -> js` cell
+failed because, after pause, audio stalling raised the buffering spinner
+(`js/watch/src/ui/components/buffering-indicator.ts`) over the play button,
+and the harness's resume click timed out. Planned in m0, decided 2026-10-10,
+because it reddens Interop on unrelated PRs.
+
+Buffering is not a meaningful state while paused: hide the indicator whenever
+playback is paused, and show it again only once playback resumes and still
+stalls. Add a browser test that pauses during an audio stall and clicks
+resume. No harness workaround such as clicking elsewhere or waiting longer.
+
+Public API: none. Wire: none.

+# [S] A player stays in sync across a demand break
+
+## Goal
+
+After a demand break (the viewer leaves and returns),
+`@moq/watch` never plays pre-break audio out of sync with pre-break video: it
+either plays them together or jumps straight to live.
+
+## Plan
+
+Found in #5173 (2026-10-10): in one reattach sample of `just test media`,
+after the break the player played the old pre-break audio about 1.6 s apart
+from the old video before jumping to live. Decided 2026-10-10: plan it as a
+player bug.
+
+Reproduce in the media fixture's reattach case, measuring the audio-video
+offset of the first frames presented after the break. Find whether audio and
+video take different groups from the relay after the break (the relay hands
+the reachable pre-gap GOP by design, per #4914 and #5158) or the player's
+sync re-anchors one track and not the other. Fix it at that cause, and assert
+the offset in the media check.
+
+Public API: none expected. Wire: none.
