Research direction

First provide a public SDL3 port, commit, or issue showing this resize behavior causing a bug; the report says no real code has demonstrated it yet. If it qualifies, read “Adding a trap” in CONTRIBUTING.md and use mouse-logical-coords as the reference. Add the card to plugins/sdl3-porter/skills/sdl3-porter/references/video.md, with fixtures passing CI on Windows, Linux, and macOS against SDL 3.2.0 and 3.4.18; remove the candidate ID from the README list.

Description

help wanted trap candidate

What changed: SDL_EVENT_WINDOW_RESIZED is now always sent, even in response to the program's own SDL_SetWindowSize(). SDL2 code that treats it as the user resizing the window now reacts to its own calls. (migration guide)

Why it's a candidate: it compiles cleanly and can be proven headless, but no port has shown it in real code yet. It becomes a trap, with fixtures and an eval case, when a port or an issue shows it. If your SDL3 port ran into it, comment with the code.

Taking it on: first comment with the real code that shows it: a public SDL3 port, commit or issue where it caused a bug. Once I confirm it qualifies, follow "Adding a trap" in CONTRIBUTING.md and copy mouse-logical-coords for the window and the event loop. The card goes in plugins/sdl3-porter/skills/sdl3-porter/references/video.md. The fixtures have to pass CI on Windows, Linux and macOS against SDL 3.2.0 and 3.4.18, and the PR removes the id from the README's list of candidates. I run the eval case myself, because evals use a repository secret.
