Research direction
No source file or test is named in the report. Start by reproducing the focus failure on Muffin 6.6.0 with Alacritty, then compare behavior after downgrading Muffin and inspect the window-focus handling entry points. Done means Alacritty takes focus when launched by shortcut, menu, or another terminal without breaking focus for other windows.
