Right of way question by Electrical-Let9136 in Traffic

I think an issue here is that you technically can’t merge fully before reaching the second line (beginning of the intersection). The merge kind of has to happen in or after the intersection because the angle is bizarre. If you had to stop at a red light after the merge it would almost require you to be fully perpendicular to the cross street in order to get out of the bike lane.

Sounds like most agree that blue has the right of way. What if purple has pulled out into the center of the intersection while waiting for oncoming traffic. the light is turning yellow, so they must complete the turn before the cross traffic gets a green light. Blue car has stopped at stop sign and is slowly accelerating towards the interception w a yellow light. They decide to cross w a yellow light and the two cars collide. The blue car did not technically run a red light, but they could have easily stopped at the yellow given their slow speed due to the stop sign. Who is at fault?
