In separate-window mode, hide() keeps the ordered-out window's SwiftUI hierarchy alive (nilling contentViewController crashes AVKit), and its updateNSView unconditionally re-attached the shared MPVOGLView - stealing it into a window CoreAnimation never composites. The layer's silent skip-render fallback then consumed every frame flag, so video stayed black (climbing vo drops) until app restart. - Decline stealing the shared view from a visible container into a non-visible one; owner-initiated transfers bypass the guard - Only transfer to containers in visible windows or the window still tracked by ExpandedPlayerWindowManager; park the view otherwise and reclaim it when a container gains a window - Log skip-render frame consumption (rate-limited) and track render health counters (draws/skips/dropped draws) - Add a watchdog to the playback stats task that detects a stalled video output and re-attaches the view to a visible container - Don't mount player layouts during zero-size layout passes
