        - **passed** — Runner reported success.

        - **failed** — Runner reported failure (assertions, errors, timeouts, etc.).

        - **pending** — Intentional skip or disabled test (e.g. `test.skip()` / `it.skip()`). In **Tests Explorer** (`GET /tests/{projectId}`) this increments `metrics.ignored` and does **not** increment `metrics.failures`.

        - **skipped** — Runner reported a skip without a normal pass/fail (often interrupted or never executed as pass/fail). In **Tests Explorer** this increments `metrics.failures` together with `failed` (there is no separate `skipped` counter in that response). On **run and spec** payloads, `stats.skipped` is still reported separately from `stats.failures` and `stats.pending`.'

        **The endpoints below are production''s.** They are written out so this specification can be exercised against production, and they are wrong for every other deployment — a token minted by `id.currents.dev` is refused by a staging or on-premise API, whose `OAUTH_ISSUER` and `OAUTH_API_AUDIENCE` are its own. Against anything but production, and in a client generated from this document, discover them instead: `GET {api origin}/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`, then the `authorization_servers[0]` document.


        **The audience named here is the REST API''s.** `POST /mcp` is a second resource server on the same origin, identified by `{api origin}/mcp` and described by its own document at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp`. Every operation below refuses a token minted for it, and it refuses every token minted for these, so a client of this specification wants the audience above and not that one.'
