Problem
tests/test_cli_theme.py::test_bold_accent_renders_styled_not_bare (tests/test_cli_theme.py:276) is order-dependent: it passes when run alone and fails when the whole file (or the full suite) runs. It shows up intermittently as the lone unexplained failure in otherwise green full-suite runs, which weakens the whole-suite signal.
Evidence
- Run alone: passes. Run the whole file: fails. The failure mode is a style degradation: the accent renders as 16-color bright_yellow (SGR
1;93) instead of the truecolor accent #fbe23f, so the assertion that the output is styled-not-bare sees the degraded form.
- Reproduced byte-identically in two pristine checkouts of recent main-history commits containing no local changes, so it is in-file state pollution (or environment-sensitive terminal capability detection), not a regression from any one change.
- The degradation direction (truecolor down to 16-color) points at cached console/terminal capability state: some earlier test in the file plausibly constructs a Console (or mutates COLORTERM/TERM/FORCE_COLOR detection) whose downgraded color system leaks into this test.
- Several independent full-suite runs on the same machine reproduced it while others did not, consistent with ordering/parallelism sensitivity rather than a deterministic bug.
Suggested direction
Find the in-file pollution: run progressively larger prefixes of tests/test_cli_theme.py to identify the first test whose presence flips the result, then audit it for module-level or cached Console/theme state and env mutations that survive the test. Isolate with a fixture that resets the cached theme/console and pins a truecolor-capable fake terminal for this assertion.
