+/**
+ * @file A seek must free the requests it made pointless, on every output that
+ * viewer watches, and only theirs.
+ *
+ * hls.js keeps ONE fragment load outstanding per track, so a request held for a
+ * segment the viewer has just left blocks the request for where they now are.
+ * Measured 2026-08-04: 57 s of a 58 s backward seek was that wait, and the
+ * segment they wanted was served in 15 ms once it was asked for.
+ *
+ * The guard against it was built — the route compares a seek epoch and asks
+ * whether each held request is still wanted — and nothing moved that epoch: no
+ * caller of `invalidateWaits` was a seek.
+ *
+ * TWO THINGS THIS CHECK HAS TO DO, and the first version of it did neither.
+ * It must wait until the store really HOLDS the waits, because a seek that
+ * happens before they are registered frees nothing and passes all the same; and
+ * it must cover the three outputs one viewer watches — the picture the browser
+ * addresses, the step on their screen, their soundtrack — because waking only
+ * the one the browser named leaves two thirds of their requests standing.
+ *
+ * And waking is not cancelling: one viewer's seek must leave another viewer's
+ * request for the same segment of the same output exactly where it was.
