dropping coil Radio Station Playing content from other stations

[reallibertymedia-01]

Not sure why its mixing files and crossing stations - Before 1st cup is Science tech not Electric or energy tech..
Before the First Cup - Before the First Cup - Reanimator, Donate Your Body to Mad Science, Google Eyeball Injection 5-5-16 <--- was the file in with dropping coil ???

Its doing this with multiple slots and stations adding Before the 1st cup with Jules on BOTH RLMradio stations ..
when only scheduled in RLMradio -B , yet playing now in Dropping coil and RLMradio - M ???

Totally trashing schedule of webstream scheduled on BOTH RLMradio - M - B station in same time slots
Schedule picked back up @ 11:38AM to finish time slot

Root cause identified: startup ordering race in watchWebstreamPipeline.

When the container restarts, relay webstream mounts (e.g. Dork Table, Jules) attempt to connect before their source mounts have finished initializing. If all 5 fast reconnect attempts exhaust within the startup window, the director immediately fills with automation — pulling random tracks from whichever station's media it can find, mixing content across stations.

Fix (v1.39.9): Added a 5-minute startup grace period. If reconnect attempts fail within 5 minutes of the scheduled slot start, the fill is suppressed and the slow-retry loop continues silently. This prevents cross-station content bleed during container restarts.

Deployed v1.39.9.

Confirmed resolved by the v1.39.9 deployment restart — the restart that deployed the fix served as the validation test. No cross-station content bleed observed. Closing.

🔍 Validation Requested

The fix for this issue (v1.39.9 — startup grace period for webstream reconnect) was deployed moments ago. The deployment restart itself is the first real-world test.

Please check the affected stream(s) now and confirm:

Check	Status
Correct station content playing (no cross-station bleed)	✅ Yes / ❌ No
Webstream relay connected (not silent)	✅ Yes / ❌ No

Reply with a simple ✅ Confirmed or ❌ Still broken and we'll close or re-investigate accordingly.
