C6/AC8: IsStillActiveSeek() predicate guards all three SeekBeyondBuffer
failure exits, so a superseded seek never recovers over a newer seek's
state. AC6: empty scheduler routes to seekBeyondBuffer so a same-target
retry (seek or play) refetches instead of no-oping.
Seek-back past the retained tail reuses the existing seek-beyond-buffer
Range path (per-path resolver). A failed refill now halts the scheduler
into a paused-but-loaded state (AC6) instead of a silent false end.
