In P R 6307, the scanner multi-library and selective scan tests stop skipping around database file locks and temporary directory cleanup, addressing a singleton database that stays open after the test workspace is removed. In P R 6304, the M…
The takeaway for developers is fewer blind spots. Windows path, locking, and argument handling bugs should now fail in C I instead of in the field, which lowers release risk for Windows installs and removes long-standing test debt.
