# What does this implement/fix? On a dynamic queue (an endless mix or any queue fed by a dynamic playlist), "Play next (keep queue)" of a track did not behave as expected: the track was folded into the managed pool like "Add to queue", so it ended up at a random position in the upcoming tail. Worse, if the track was heard within the configured recency window, the pool's recency gate silently dropped it, so the explicitly picked track never entered the queue at all. A track enqueued with "Play next" is an explicit user pick, so it is now inserted literally right after the buffered index, exactly like on a regular queue. - NEXT of a track on a dynamic queue inserts it as the next item, bypassing the pool and its recency gate, and no longer triggers a needless pool rebuild - NEXT of a container (album/playlist/artist) and ADD of anything keep feeding the pool as before - regression tests for both symptoms, plus controls proving the linear path and ADD are untouched **Related issue (if applicable):** - related issue <link to issue> ## Types of changes <!-- Tick exactly one box.
