 ## Current Recommendation
 
 - Keep desktop Chrome/Edge and the responsive Web viewer as the baseline. Validate Android Chrome and iOS Safari as leaves.
+- Keep Viewer playback on one persistent, user-started audible media element while hidden. Continuity evidence uses media/connection counters; hidden video composition is presentation-only, and iOS lock-screen, reclamation and background reconnection remain device gates.
 - Use direct host P2P for one or two viewers, then the bounded controller for every room when `PEER_ASSISTED_MEDIA=true`. Room `1` is historical smoke, not a runtime gate; resource, quality, recovery, SFU/UDP, bounded-failure, and browser/mobile evidence remain separate.
 - Browser relays resend remote `MediaStreamTrack` values and re-encode at each hop; WebRTC does not guarantee a shared encoder across peer connections, so measure the cost.
 - Keep experiments bounded: the standard representation sequence is below; native RTP relay, encoded-object striping, and FEC remain separate.

 - Whether ADR-0004 passes fanout, re-encoding, depth-four latency, reparenting, silent-partition, and mobile-leaf gates.
 - Selected-edge: active Host-ingress function passes; initial ingress, `peer-selected`, expiry/failure, mobile, resource and bandwidth gates remain. The bearer is non-revocable until expiry; performance follows later and Media TCP is out.

+### Viewer 后台播放边界
+
+当前 Viewer 使用一个持续存在、可听的 `<video autoplay playsinline>`，播放被浏览器拦截时保留显式用户手势入口；信令心跳由服务端 WebSocket ping 和浏览器原生 pong 完成。Chrome 把可听媒体、WebRTC 和 WebSocket 视为后台保留连接的活动，并允许隐藏页节流视觉更新；页面若被系统冻结或回收，Web 应用本身不能继续执行。WebKit 也会在页面可听时保留 iOS Web 进程。产品契约覆盖已经开始的音频和连接；隐藏页面的视频合成只代表呈现层。
+
+一轮保留的 Chrome 151 双 Viewer 结果与该边界一致：后台标签页的 inbound、decoded 和 Opus RTP 计数继续增长，`requestVideoFrameCallback` 保持不变；前台 Viewer 的逐帧回调正常增长。这只证明该受控桌面样本的接收、解码和音频包连续性，不是可听性或手机生命周期证明。iOS 锁屏、页面回收，以及后台期间换父或重连后出现的新媒体仍进入真机矩阵；LiveKit 的 Safari issue 也区分了持续播放的既有音轨与后台新建音频元素。
