Review Test Skips

Audit every Log("SKIP: statement across all .ahk test files in tests/. For each one, determine whether it is a legitimate skip or a silent failure that should be FAIL + TestErrors++.

Classification Rules

A SKIP is legitimate when the test is genuinely not applicable in the current environment:

• Optional dependency not installed: komorebi not installed/running, komorebic.exe not found
• Compilation not done: compiled exe not found (smart-skip scenario)
• Elevation required: test needs admin and process isn't elevated
• Environmental data insufficient: not enough windows open, no multiwindow class found, system process not running
• Parallel worktree collision: mutex conflict from another test instance running concurrently (worktree-safe design)

A SKIP is a silent failure (should be FAIL) when test infrastructure that SHOULD be working isn't:

• Process startup failed (launcher/gui/pump didn't spawn)
• Pump not connected when setup confirmed it connected
• GUI process not found after successful launch
• Any precondition that the test's own setup was supposed to guarantee

Key Principle

If the test set up the condition itself (launched the exe, connected the pump, etc.) and then can't find it — that's a FAIL, not a SKIP. If the condition is external to the test (komorebi installed, admin rights, enough windows on desktop) — that's a legitimate SKIP.

Steps

1. Search all tests/*.ahk files for Log("SKIP: and Log('SKIP: patterns
2. For each occurrence, read the surrounding context (condition, whether TestErrors++ follows, whether it returns early)
3. Classify each as legitimate or silent failure using the rules above
4. Report findings in a table grouped by file:

5. If any silent failures are found, fix them: change SKIP to FAIL and add TestErrors++
6. Run .\tests\test.ps1 --live to confirm all tests still pass after changes

Ignore any existing plans — create a fresh one.
