SubMiner/changes/overlay-lifecycle.md

type: fixed area: overlay

• Primed the first startup subtitle before autoplay resumes so the overlay renders text before video playback begins.
• Kept the visible overlay and subtitle stream alive after restarting SubMiner from the mpv y-r shortcut, with correct Linux bounds reapplication and user-paused playback preserved through readiness gates.
• Fixed managed mpv startup so launcher-owned videos quit SubMiner when playback ends while background/tray sessions stay alive, with pause-until-ready waiting for overlay and tokenization readiness.
• Fixed the subtitle sync modal on macOS so it no longer flashes and hides on the first attempt or leaves stale state after syncing.
• Fixed Windows managed mpv launches from a background instance so the warm app receives the start command, retargets the new mpv socket, binds to the player window, and receives startup overlay options.
