I would rule that it didn't at all. A weapon focus enhances your
organic skill, and activesofts override organic skill.

The increase of ability is magical in nature, so when you switch to a
nonmagical basis of skill, you would lose the magical bonus.

Note that the biowear reflex enhancers (whichever the ones are that
add a die to an active skill), and the bonus from enhanced articulation,
*should* stack, since they're an integrated part of your body rather
than a chunk of data you just downloaded into the wires that are
manipulating your muscles.
