@@ -98,7 +98,11 @@ delays. No image or cover requests occur during inspection. Successful inspectio
 sets `status:"ready"`, displays the canonical `sourceTitle` and source availability,
 and waits for **Confirm download**. Ready items survive daemon restarts and suppress
 duplicate nightly checks. Other jobs may proceed while confirmation is pending.
-Confirmation does not resume a deliberately paused queue or clear a source block.
+Confirmation can save an inspected edition even while its source lane is paused;
+the job then remains queued and makes no source requests until that lane is
+reviewed and explicitly resumed. Confirmation does not resume a deliberately
+paused queue or clear a source block. **Inspect again** remains unavailable
+while the source lane is paused.
 The download rediscovers the catalog; an edition title change requires re-inspection
 and confirmation. Direct API clients can still enqueue authorized downloads without
 inspection by omitting the flag. Existing download/discovery jobs are unchanged.
