+# GLFW Windows package closure
+
+The existing gui-stack and imgui-window members gate GLFW behind Linux, leaving
+Windows package compilation/linkage untested. Add a standalone glfw workspace
+member with a local compat index and no other direct dependencies. Test Null
+windows everywhere and require native Win32 initialization and hidden window
+behavior on Windows; use GLFW_NO_API and GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE.
+
+PR #538's initial Windows run (39048720103, job 117442681476) reproduced
+undefined LoadCursorW, CreateWindowExW, RegisterClassExW and DragAcceptFiles.
+All references originate in GLFW's own win32 sources, not the consumer.
+
+Declare user32 (window/input), gdi32 (pixel formats), and shell32 (drag/drop) in
+windows.runtime.libraries. Upstream CMake gets user32/shell32 from CMake's default
+Windows standard libraries; the direct clang driver does not. Retain the existing
+dialect-neutral form rather than raw linker flags. GLFW dynamically loads its
+OpenGL, XInput, DirectInput and DWM functions; no new import libraries are needed
+for those. Application calls to OpenGL/Vulkan remain the consumer's responsibility.
+
+Keep the existing package versions and upstream 3.4 archive, URLs, SHA and
+install hook. This is a descriptor-only fix: xpkg refreshes the descriptor, so
+no new package version is needed when the source is unchanged. The new test
+consumes upstream version 3.4.
+
+Validation: CI uses mcpp 2026.10.1.2. Initial Windows failure is the regression
+proof; final PR checks must cover the fix, including execution of the Win32 test.

+# Standalone GLFW smoke test
+
+From the repository root, run `mcpp test -p glfw` (including on Windows).
+The manifest redirects `compat` to this checkout so the test checks the PR's
+package descriptor rather than the published index.
+
+The test checks the upstream version and creates a Null-platform window on every
+platform. On Windows it also requires the Win32 backend, creates a hidden native
+window, checks its size and user pointer, polls events, and closes it. A failed
+initialization or window creation fails the test. No visible window or graphics
+context is required.
+
+The only direct dependency is `compat.glfw`. `GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE` and
+`GLFW_NO_API` keep graphics API headers and context creation out of this test.
+GLFW's own native system-library references belong in the package descriptor;
+libraries used directly by an application (for example OpenGL entry points or a
+Vulkan loader) belong to that application. GLFW dynamically loads several
+optional Windows APIs, so their DLL names alone are not a reason to add import
+libraries. Keep dialect-neutral native link requirements in `runtime.libraries`.
