The Hook API previously rejected key strings like
'show_windows["Project Settings"]' (and silently returned None on
get). The test_live_gui_filedialog_regression test exercises exactly
this pattern to open the Project Settings window via the Hook API;
it was previously marked skip with "hook server doesn't handle the
dict-key bracket-notation syntax".
Fix in three small places:
1. src/app_controller.py:_handle_set_value
If `item` is not in _settable_fields, try parsing it as
`dict_name[<key>]` notation. If dict_name IS in _settable_fields
and the current attr is a dict, set the inner key.
2. src/api_hooks.py:/api/gui/value (POST get_val)
Mirror the parsing for the field-based get endpoint.
3. src/api_hook_client.py:ApiHookClient.get_value
Mirror the parsing in the client so the dict-key syntax works
through the state endpoint as well (which is what get_value
actually calls by default).
Test fix:
- tests/test_live_gui_filedialog_regression.py: removed the
@pytest.mark.skip marker; the underlying issue is now fixed.
Verified: 1/1 test passes (previously skipped).
