CI task 750 failed the pause check in e2e 34 although the pause lost nothing. The stream on the runner never got a second ahead. It had skipped 1.1 s before the pause was clicked, with 0.04 s left ahead. The wait for the second ran out without a word, so the check blamed the pause for samples the stream had lost from the start. - A check of its own before the pause asks for a second ahead and not a sample skipped. A runner too slow to decode fails there now. - When the stream was behind, the pause check judges only the clock, the resume and the stop, and says in its name that the samples were not judged. - Nothing in the product changes. Tests: - e2e 34 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 149 checks. The new check saw 1.3 MB ahead and 0 samples skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
