A peer can be left paused at the end of an episode while the other moves on,
and nothing recovers it. The episode guard, the title on the wire and the
comparison all exist already, so the interesting part is why the guard lets
that one pause through — and that cannot be settled without logs from both
sides while it happens.
Records what was verified from the code, the three candidate causes that are
still hypotheses, the exact log lines that separate them, the planned fix
order, and the approaches already ruled out (forcing the comparison would
break every platform that exposes no media title).
