Description
This is a reformulate of issue #622, to make scenario more clear.
In tests/Languages/en/intent.rs, there is a test:
```
#[test]
fn intent_prob_x() -> Result<()> {
init_logger();
let expr = "";
test("en", "ClearSpeak", expr, "probability of x")?;
return Ok(());
}
```
Let us name above MathML as mathml_A.
In tests/Languages/en/chemistry.rs, there is a test:
```
#[test]
fn mhchem_barbed_equilibrium() -> Result<()> {
let expr = "";
test_prefs("en", "SimpleSpeak", vec![("Verbosity", "Terse")],
expr, "cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; is in equilibrium with, 2, cap h, cap i, gas")?;
return Ok(());
}
```
Let us name above MathML as mathml_B.
We also have
* en rules in NVDA2026.1.1, name as en_rules_2026.1.1
* en rules in main branch dated at 2026/06/15, name as en_rules_0615
* en rules in main branch dated at 2026/06/30, name as en_rules_0630
We also have two libmathcat_py.pyd
* that in NVDA2026.1.1, name as libmathcat_2026.1.1
* that get from [libmathcat_py-64-3.13-win.zip](https://github.com/daisy/MathCATForPython/releases), name as libmathcat_3.13
We use NVDA2026.1.1 as platform to do integration test.
For mathml_A, we have following results:
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_2026.1.1, read out as:`probability of x`
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_0615, read out as:`probability`, and we can not navigating the formula.
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_0630, read out as:`probability`, and we can not navigating the formula.
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_2026.1.1, read out as:`probability of x`
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_0615, read out as:`probability`
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_0630, read out as:`probability`
For mathml_B, we have following results:
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_2026.1.1, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; is in equilibrium with, 2, cap h, cap i, gas`
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_0615, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; ᾍ2 2, cap h, cap i, gas`, and we can not navigating the formula.
* libmathcat_2026.1.1 + en_rules_0630, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; ᾍ2 2, cap h, cap i, gas`, and we can not navigating the formula.
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_2026.1.1, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; is in equilibrium with, 2, cap h, cap i, gas`
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_0615, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; ᾍ2 2, cap h, cap i, gas`
* libmathcat_3.13 + en_rules_0630, read out as:`cap h, 2, gas; plus; cap i, 2, gas; ᾍ2 2, cap h, cap i, gas`
In summary, both en_rules_0615 and en_rules_0630 are not compatible with libmathcat_2026.1.1(contained in original NVDA2026.1.1) and libmathcat_3.13(contained in libmathcat_py-64-3.13-win.zip). Better libmathcat_py.pyd is in need.

Research direction
Start with tests/Languages/en/intent.rs and tests/Languages/en/chemistry.rs, especially intent_prob_x and mhchem_barbed_equilibrium, then reproduce the reported NVDA2026.1.1 combinations with the two libmathcat_py.pyd files and dated English rules. Done means the current rules and library produce the expected speech and preserve formula navigation for both MathML examples.
