    SECONDS_FROM_END: 15

    How close to the end of a lesson counts as having finished it, expressed two ways. The finish threshold is whichever of the two comes first:

    • SECONDS_FROM_END — a fixed tail. Right for long lessons, where a percentage would leave minutes of outro standing between the learner and their check mark.
    • FINISHED_FRACTION — a share of the runtime. Right for short clips, where a fixed tail would be a quarter of the whole thing.

    These thresholds are deliberately earlier than the resume rule's SECONDS_NEAR_END: "is this done?" and "is it worth offering to resume?" are different questions, and a narrow band answers yes to both. That is coherent — completing a lesson is not a claim that nothing is left to rewatch. Do not collapse the two constants into agreement.
