Description
What type(s) of user does this feature affect?

Status (updated 2026-05-02): the original framing of this umbrella is stale. .allow_skipping_tests is now empty — that gate is satisfied. But it was emptied in #6517 (Oct 2025) by stubbing 52 spec files with pending "add some tests for X" placeholders rather than by writing real tests. The umbrella's actual goal — real tests for those files — is not done.
41 stub specs still remain. Find them with:
grep -rl 'pending "add some tests for' spec/
Definition of done for one stub:
- Delete the
pending "add some tests for X"line. - Add at least one real
it/describeblock that exercises a behavior of the class/module under test. - Make sure the spec actually runs — no
pending,skip, orxitleft in the file. - One stub file per PR is fine; bundle several if they're tiny or share a theme.
Reference: the placeholder pattern was introduced in #6517. Anything matching the grep above is fair game.

Research direction
Run grep -rl 'pending "add some tests for' spec/ and choose one matching spec file. Read the class or module under test and nearby specs to identify a behavior to exercise, then run that file directly. Done means the placeholder is removed, at least one real it or describe block runs, and no pending, skipped, or xit examples remain.
