autoClosePriorOpen hardcoded was_skipped=true for every orphaned
play_event (a play_started whose play_ended never arrived, e.g. the
client backgrounded mid-track). That hid fully-listened tracks from
History — a play that sat open past its own length was capped to the
track duration (ratio ~1) yet still flagged skipped. Observed live:
History showed 3 plays for a day of listening because most rows were
auto-closed orphans marked skipped.
Now the auto-close applies the same skip rule as RecordPlayEnded to the
duration-capped elapsed estimate: ratio >= threshold OR elapsed >= the
duration floor -> a real play that lands in History; a genuine
quick-abandon still classifies as a skip. Still writes no skip_events
row, so the ambiguous auto-close never feeds the skip-ratio /
recommendation signal.
This is the server half. The client-side root cause (backgrounded
track transitions never closed, orphaning the rows in the first place)
is tracked separately.
