Parse and expose SessionStatus from the official live feed, treating Started/Resumed as active and terminal or missing statuses as inactive archive candidates.
Keep /api/v1/live/state and SSE snapshot data reserved for active sessions while exposing memory-only last_snapshot, last_positions, and last_snapshot_at for the explicit Live tab archive view.
Subscribe to TeamRadio on the F1 live feed, parse defensive capture snapshots and patches, and relay capped captures through live snapshots with the SessionInfo static path. Add the frontend CDN URL helper and ticker using one shared audio element.
Subscribe to SignalR Position.z and CarData.z, decode DEFLATE payloads, stream throttled positions over SSE, and render live car dots against cached track outline bounds with tap telemetry.
Alignment spike: no checked-in or locally cached real Position.z samples were available in this isolated worktree; verified both streams expose the official raw F1 X/Y/Z coordinate contract and implemented shared-bounds normalization against prefetched OpenF1 outlines. Fallback build-outline-from-stream was not taken.
Playwright remains out of scope for live rendering because BOXBOX_DISABLE_LIVE is used there; coverage is via parser, web handler/SSE, pure transform, and seeded component tests.
