Three of the six recorded failures were the same test bug: an unresolved /tmp path compared against a resolved /private/tmp one. macOS makes /tmp a symlink, so a fixture built with tempfile.mkdtemp(dir="/tmp") and a code path that resolves what it reports disagree about a file both found correctly. test_code_nav_tools builds its fixture unresolved and compares it against the reported path. One realpath fixes both of its failures. test_glob_confined_e2e is the same cause through a longer route: it mixed os.path.realpath(ws) with an unresolved secret directory, so relpath emitted "../../../../tmp/<absolute path>" and the assertion that the absolute path was absent from the output matched it as a substring. Resolving the secret directory puts both sides in one tree and the relative path stays short. macOS full suite goes from 6 failures to 3. The remaining three are an ffmpeg build without a WebP encoder, a socket test that needs a fast connection refusal, and the rich-text colour test that is still unexplained. The ledger is updated in the same change so it does not describe failures that no longer happen.
