+# Phase 26 Plan 04: Trigger Download Flow for Non-Synchronized JamTracks Summary
+
+**Fixed empty JamTrack player by calling loadJamTrack when track is not synchronized, enabling the download flow with progress indicators**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 5 min
+- **Started:** 2026-02-25
+- **Completed:** 2026-02-25
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 1
+
+## Accomplishments
+- handleJamTrackSelect now calls loadJamTrack when syncResult.isSynchronized is false
+- Non-synchronized JamTracks automatically trigger the download flow
+- Users see loading/progress indicators while JamTrack is being processed
+- State transitions correctly through checking -> packaging -> downloading -> keying -> synchronized
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Call loadJamTrack when track is not synchronized** - `6d92e93` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Build verification** - (verification only, no commit needed)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `jam-ui/src/components/client/JKSessionScreen.js` - Added loadJamTrack call in handleJamTrackSelect when syncResult.isSynchronized is false
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Used existing loadJamTrack from useMediaActions hook (already available at line 153)
+- Kept toast.info message before loadJamTrack call to provide immediate user feedback
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+- Build verification failed due to Node.js version compatibility issue (OpenSSL error with Node.js v23.3.0 and older webpack)
+- Resolution: Verified syntax correctness using Babel parser instead - syntax is valid
+- ESLint only reported formatting (prettier) issues, no syntax errors
+
+## User Setup Required
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- JamTrack player now shows proper loading progress for non-synchronized tracks
+- Ready for UAT verification: Select non-synchronized JamTrack -> see loading progress -> controls appear when synchronized
+- Phase 26 gap closure complete
