-   * UAT-003 Investigation: Seek while paused limitation
+   * UAT-003 Fix: Seek while paused limitation workaround
    *
-   * Problem: When track is paused and user drags slider to new position, the seek doesn't
-   * register with jamClient. On resume, audio plays from old position.
+   * Problem: jamClient.SessionTrackSeekMs() doesn't register when track is paused.
    *
-   * Approaches tested:
-   * 1. Verify position after SessionTrackSeekMs() call - confirms seek doesn't take effect when paused
-   * 2. State machine approach - store pending seek position, apply before resume with:
-   *    - SessionStopPlay() to reset state
-   *    - SessionTrackSeekMs() to seek to stored position
-   *    - SessionStartPlay() to resume playback
+   * Solution: State machine approach
+   * - When seeking while paused, verify if position changed
+   * - If not, store pending seek position in pendingSeekPositionRef
+   * - Before resuming playback, apply pending seek with:
+   *   SessionStopPlay() → SessionTrackSeekMs() → SessionStartPlay()
    *
-   * This implementation combines both approaches:
-   * - Diagnostic logging to confirm the issue
-   * - Pending seek position stored in pendingSeekPositionRef
-   * - Applied in handlePlay() before resuming playback
+   * This provides consistent UX: seek works whether playing or paused.
