Hmm. Can't load native code to bring window to front.
Steps to reproduce this
  1. run sketch

  2. close sketch preview window

  3. get error in console

snippet
# SOLVING EQUATIONS GRAPHICALLY

#set the range of x-values
xmin = -10
xmax = 10

#range of y-values
ymin = -10
ymax = 10

#calculate the range
rangex = xmax - xmin
rangey = ymax - ymin

def setup():
    global xscl, yscl
    size(600,600)
    xscl =  width / rangex
    yscl = -height / rangey
    
def draw():
    global xscl, yscl
    background(255) #white
    translate(width/2,height/2)
     #cyan lines
    strokeWeight(1)
    stroke(0,255,255)
    stroke(0,255,255)
    for i in range(xmin,xmax+1):
        line(i*xscl,ymin*yscl,i*xscl,ymax*yscl)
    for i in range(ymin,ymax+1):
        line(xmin*xscl,i*yscl,xmax*xscl,i*yscl)
    stroke(0) #black axes
    line(0,ymin*yscl,0,ymax*yscl)
    line(xmin*xscl,0,xmax*xscl,0)

But its doesn't matter which sketch

Research direction

Reproduce the report with Processing 4.4.6 on macOS 15.6 using PythonMode, then inspect the native-library loading path for modes/PythonMode/mode/libjniosx.dylib. Confirm the behavior with a sketch after its preview window is closed; done means the window is handled without the reported console errors.
