Failing Tests
test_legend_comprehensive.exe - returns exit code 1
test_streamplot.exe - returns exit code 1
Impact
These failures are blocking PR merges despite fixes being unrelated to legend/streamplot functionality.
Analysis Needed
- Investigate Windows-specific runtime environment issues
- Check for FFmpeg/external dependency issues on Windows
- Determine if these are consistent failures or flaky tests
