Research direction
Investigate Android's Picture in Picture (PiP) API and how Seal handles download actions. Look into the app's MainActivity or the download logic to see if there's a way to prevent PiP minimization when a quick download is triggered. Also check if any existing options or flags control PiP behavior during video playback.
