 /**
- * Configuration for notification button layout on Android.
- * Allows explicit control over which buttons appear in which slots.
+ * Where each button sits on Android.
  *
- * Slot behavior:
- * - **Omit a slot**: Derive from capabilities (smart default)
- * - **Set to null**: Explicitly empty slot
- * - **Set to button**: Show that button in that slot
+ * Android offers exactly three positions, and play/pause always occupies the
+ * centre — you cannot move it, and you cannot put two buttons on the same side
+ * of it:
+ *
+ * ```
+ *   back  │  ▶ play/pause  │  forward        overflow ⋯
+ * ```
+ *
+ * - **`back`** — the single position left of play/pause
+ * - **`forward`** — the single position right of play/pause
+ * - **`overflow`** — everything else, in priority order
+ *
+ * **A layout describes the whole arrangement.** All three fields are required —
+ * there is no per-field merge with the capability defaults, so what you write is
+ * exactly what renders. Use `undefined` for an empty position and `[]` for no
+ * overflow. To go back to the derived defaults, omit `remoteButtonLayout`
+ * entirely (or set it to `null`); that is the only switch.
+ *
+ * **Overflow order is priority, not coordinates.** Each surface renders as many
+ * buttons as it has room for, taking them from the front — a phone
+ * notification, the Android 13+ system media controls, and a car head unit all
+ * have different budgets. A head unit with a spare slot may promote the first
+ * overflow entry onto the main row, and a long list gets truncated by whichever
+ * surface is showing it. Put what matters most first.
+ *
+ * Placement never changes what a control *can* do: a button left out entirely
+ * still responds to a Bluetooth remote or headset, as long as its
+ * {@link PlayerCapabilities} entry is enabled.
