+# **3.3 (2026-09-17): the viewer picks a subtitle track.**
+#
+# `stream_init` carries `subtitle_tracks` (ordinal, language, title, codec);
+# `subtitle_req` asks for one by ordinal and `subtitle_resp` names a cache hash
+# to pull through the ordinary `file_req`/`file_chunk` path, exactly as
+# `audio_transcode_resp` does. Subtitles travel beside the stream because MSE
+# decodes no in-band text track, and whole-file because the extraction is then
+# absolute in time: a seek re-extracts nothing and the `<track>` is untouched.
+#
+# **Additive, MINOR, and for once nothing can be served wrongly.** An
+# `audio_track` a 3.2 node ignores is the wrong language played in silence;
+# `subtitle_req` has no such failure — a node too old to know the message
+# answers `unknown message type` and the client shows no subtitles, which is
+# what it showed before. The selector is still drawn from `subtitle_tracks` in
+# the node's own `stream_init` and from no version number, so the request is
+# never sent to a peer that could not answer it. `MNP_MIN_SUPPORTED` does not
+# move.
