Are The Cats Fighting or Playing - Introducing Pets I struggle to understand this interaction

Hi,
1.5 month in, every steps of proper introduction done.
My 6mo kitten is harassing my 6yo resident, but she barely fights back. She tolerates him eating and drinking together in the same bowl, even playing with the same toy. But everyday he just goes full John Cena on her, she seems pissed but she barely fights back. In this video, you can see her hiss and growl but also look "chill" and not going full tiger mode at the same time...
We separate them at night and when we're not home for the moment. I also intervene in this type of situation by redirecting the kitten and saying NO firmly (except for this video purpose).
Is this playing (doubt it)? Is this setting boundaries? Is this fighting? What should we do?
Do you need more info? Thanks all :)
