Description

I have focus_follows_mouse = autofocus and really like this behavior. It works good for me for the most part, except that it is gone after waking my computer from sleep. Restarting yabai fixes, but I lose all my window sizes and positions.

I am running yabai 7.1.23 on Tahoe, and I am not able to disable SIP (so, no scripting addition).

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the sleep-and-wake cycle with focus_follows_mouse set to autofocus on macOS Tahoe, then trace how yabai handles wake events and focus state. Done means autofocus remains active after waking without restarting yabai or losing window positions.
