+§0 item 4 of podcast-integration.md: the download pool's monotonic
+queue ticket. `download_queue_pos BIGINT` (NULL for scan rows and
+never-queued episodes) is stamped from the `podcast_queue_seq` SEQUENCE
+at enqueue time so claim order = enqueue order (the effective listening
+order). Raw-row pins (TestContractPin_MediaListBothBranches →
+rawRowKeys) whitelist the key. Nothing removed, nothing renamed.
