First of all, thanks for the work and for starting the pretest.

I've already found an issue with my first run of lualatex.  I've
installed the pretest from the cstug mirror with this morning's state.
The machine is a MacBook Pro with Intel CPU running macOS Sonoma.

Trying to build a PDF from the following minimal example leads to
failures in LuaLaTeX, the resulting PDF does not show anything except a
blank page:
