+Subject: [PATCH] Skip GPU-context tests when glfw.init() fails, not just when
+ glfw is missing
+
+opengl_context's try/except only catches ImportError (glfw not
+installed) and UserWarning; glfw_context() raises a plain RuntimeError
+when glfw.init() returns False, which happens whenever no display
+server (X11/Wayland) is reachable, not only when glfw itself is
+absent. That RuntimeError propagates uncaught, erroring every test
+that depends on the 'gpu'-parametrized surface/context fixtures
+instead of the graceful pytest.skip('OpenGL is not available') the
+rest of this fixture already falls back to.
+
+Rocky Linux 10 (the riscv64 manylinux image's base) ships no virtual
+X server at all: xorg-x11-server-Xvfb, tigervnc-server and weston are
+all absent from BaseOS/AppStream/CRB/Extras on every architecture, not
+just riscv64 (RHEL 10 dropped Xvfb outright, same shape as its SDL2
+removal) -- so no DISPLAY is ever available to build a real GL context
+in that container, and every test using 'gpu' hits this exact path.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [Rocky 10, this repo's riscv64 CI base image, ships no Xvfb/Xvnc/weston at all -- specific to our infra, not a defect other environments with a display server would hit]

+Subject: [PATCH] Skip the CIPD gn download when a gn is already on PATH
+
+bin/fetch-gn's CPU map (platform.machine().lower() -> {aarch64,
+amd64, arm64, x86_64}) has no riscv64 entry, and there's no prebuilt
+gn published for riscv64 on Google's CIPD to add one for -- so this
+KeyErrors outright on any riscv64 host, unconditionally, with no way
+to opt out (tools/git-sync-deps calls it with no skip flag, unlike
+its --skip-emsdk sibling). When a gn is already resolvable via PATH,
+skip the download entirely instead of trying to fetch one: nothing
+downstream of git-sync-deps reads skia/bin/gn or third_party/gn/gn
+directly, they're only ever invoked through PATH.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [riscv64 has no prebuilt gn published on Google's CIPD to add a CPU-map entry for; this only ever fires when PATH already resolves one, which is specific to how this repo builds skia-python for that architecture]
