Review MUST-FIX + SHOULD-FIX (#145): - Repeat Play with unchanged settings was fully broken: the manifest GET is what starts a session server-side, but an identical URL made setPlayerSrc a state no-op, so HlsPlayer never re-attached and no request was issued — while the poll saw the previous session's stored result and toasted a spurious success over a dead player. HlsPlayer now takes a playToken prop (incremented per Play) that forces teardown/re-attach even for identical src. - First-poll race: PrepareTroubleshootingPlayback runs DB queries BEFORE taking the playback lock, so polls right after Play can still see the stale settled result. Replaced the manually-seeded 'running' assumption with a play-phase machine (idle -> starting -> running -> idle): settled statuses are ignored during 'starting' until the server has reported running at least once, with a 30s timeout that surfaces an error and stops polling. Play + downloads are gated and a Starting/Transcoding indicator shows for the whole busy window. Nits: mediaItem takes precedence over channel when both query params are present (matching Blazor); on-mount poll comment notes the intentional post-restart log recovery. Tests: repeat-play re-issues loadSource, stale settled ignored until running observed, starting timeout, download gating while busy, both-params precedence (web suite 378 -> 384).
