Research direction

Reproduce the issue with tests/bench/boot-timing.php through the decision benchmark profile without BENCH_BOOT_PHASE, then trace the result through the real dispatcher and the owning aggregation layer. Exercise executed, skipped, and failed callables and verify that skipped workloads produce no timing sample, retain their reason, and leave required matrix completeness incomplete.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Observed failure

The MDI decision matrix completed with PASS for both backends, including a boot-timing workload that returned skipped: missing_bench_boot_phase. Aggregation reported approximately 0.004 ms as its duration, presenting the skip path as a benchmark result rather than a skipped scenario.

Reproduction workload: Automattic/markdown-database-integration, tests/bench/boot-timing.php, matrix source 21267e18d41c88396e4883e227422158ba5c16b2. Invoke the decision benchmark profile without BENCH_BOOT_PHASE. Operator evidence: Homeboy job 7018d7ce-fdf0-442d-a95c-ad96eedac2c5, SQLite run b28d11dd-e33d-40cf-8944-683aacb5fbc3, native run 2cc3b041-9291-4e8b-823f-e05b92376607. The source and normal workload invocation are the portable reproduction; IDs require operator access.

Expected contract

The workload result boundary preserves typed skip status and reason. Skipped workloads contribute no performance sample and are explicitly represented in matrix completeness. A required skipped scenario leaves acceptance incomplete, even when other executed scenarios pass. Test aggregation with executed, skipped, and failed callables through the real dispatcher.

Inspect owning layers before implementation: if WP Codebox already preserves skip status and the loss occurs downstream, route the repair to that aggregator rather than duplicating logic.
