npm test no longer counts a skipped test as passed (roadmap WS-Q task 7; Shared v1.25.0 openvibe-shared/test-runner). test/run.js is now the shared runner (same files, parallelism, 120 s timeout and [DB] filter) with the skip rule: a test prints "<label>: skipped (<why>)" for what it could not run, and that file is listed with ○ and its reasons, not counted as passed. The four tests that skipped part of themselves in free-form words now print that line: audio-events-bad-segment (OK B without a local model), restream-manager-lifecycle (the ACK test without ffmpeg), ai-remote-only (media analysis with speech without ffmpeg) and lineage-resolver (contract validation on an older openvibe-contracts); rollback-newer-writes and transcript-ai already did. Here the run reads 149/150 test files passed, 1 skipped (no local audio model), where it said 150/150. openvibe-shared is pinned at v1.25.0 (from v1.23.1; 1.24.0 adds the readiness skip, which Live's checks do not use).
