It does, at least at the major cadence at 0:48.410 sec; from then till
0:52.511, that's the tuning. The 7-limit tuning file shows Bb as the
root note, but that's only to get the notes that are actually present
aligned to 6:7:9:10.

Well, in my experience, this doesn't make a very good tuning for a tonic
chord, since Bb really does sound like the root note rather than F. I'd go
with either the 1/6:1/5:1/4:2/7 or 10:12:15:17 instead, so that F Ab C is
the usual 5-limit just minor triad rather than the subdominant-implying
6:7:9.
