Twinned from https://github.com/cfsh/ninefold/issues/572 by tools/beads/import_github.py's reconcile pass.
Measured on the WSL office box while doing #566, on main + only the #566 commits (which touch test portability and Godot path lookup — nothing that could affect focus):
``` ──── 29 passed, 5 failed ──── FAIL focus-grammar FAIL focus-ring FAIL new-pattern FAIL playhead-song FAIL single-screen-pill ```
All five pass in main's recorded baseline (e010817, recorded on the Windows sandbox box).
This is not the baseline being stale. main has gained 8 commits since e010817 and they touch only CLAUDE.md, notes/*, DEVEL.md, art_dump/README.md, presubmit.py and run_godot_tests.sh — no game code at all. So the baseline and current main describe the same game behaviour, and the difference is the platform.
Not flake either, at least for focus-grammar: it reproduces, with the same assertion failing twice in one run.
``` $ NINEFOLD_PROBE_SKIP_BUILD=1 python3 probe.py tools/probes/focus-grammar.json [probe] expect_focus 'home' FAILED — focus is on SelectableChip '@Button@110' [probe] expect_focus 'home' FAILED — focus is on SelectableChip '@Button@110' [probe] done WITH ERRORS ```
So focus lands on a SelectableChip where Windows lands on home. That it is *focus* in every one of the five names is the interesting part — this smells like one root cause in focus/neighbour resolution, not five unrelated probe bugs.
Two ways this could go, and they want opposite fixes — which is exactly why it is filed rather than guessed at:
focus_neighbor resolution, or a first-frame timing difference before focus settles). Then the probes are right and the game needs the fix.Guessing wrong papers over a real bug in one direction and breaks a correct probe in the other.
Not blocking, and already fenced. #566 stamps the platform into the probe baseline and refuses to record across platforms, so a Linux merge reports these five and cannot overwrite the Windows baseline with them. The gate is safe to run here in the meantime.
Environment: WSL2, Ubuntu 26.04, Godot 4.7.1 mono at /opt/godot, rendering through WSLg on Mesa llvmpipe (software GL), no audio drivers (dummy driver).
