npm test no longer counts a skipped test as passed (roadmap WS-Q task 7; openvibe-shared/test-runner, Shared v1.25.0). test/run.js counted every file that exited 0 as passed, so media-analysis without ffmpeg, which runs only its parser part, read as green. It is now the shared runner (same files, one at a time as before, 60 s timeout per file): a test prints "<label>: skipped (<why>)" for what it could not run, and that file is listed with ○ and its reasons and not counted as passed; --strict makes a skip fail the run. media-analysis's four ffmpeg parts printed "(skipped: no ffmpeg/ffprobe)" and now print "media-analysis whisper language / real run / local model down / free disk check: skipped (no ffmpeg/ffprobe)"; workflows.test.js left media.analyze out of its end-to-end run without a word when ffprobe is missing and now prints "workflow media.analyze end to end: skipped (no ffprobe)". Without ffmpeg the run reads 22/24 test files passed, 2 skipped. openvibe-shared is pinned at v1.25.0 (from v1.22.0; 1.23 and 1.24 add the web runtime, release-watch fixes and the readiness skip, and /api/ready answers as before because its db check really runs; the README follows). npm test (Node 22, ffmpeg installed) 24/24.
