Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the listed steps on a Pixel 9 running Android 15, then trace the widget pause state through the phone-call interruption and playback-resume flow. The fix is complete when ending a call no longer resumes a podcast that was paused from the widget; add or update a regression test if the project has coverage for this flow.
