Description

When you move a window to another space and focus on that space even with `yabai -m config focus_follows_mouse autoraise
` it will not focus on that window unless you move your mouse a little.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by moving a window to another space, focusing that space, and using `focus_follows_mouse autoraise`; confirm whether moving the mouse changes focus. Start by tracing the space-switch and window-focus behavior in yabai, then verify that the moved window receives focus without mouse movement.
