# Skip Loudly Whatever did not happen is reported as visibly as what did. A skipped pass, a degraded mode, and a deliberate omission each get a named line; a report that drops them reads exactly like a clean run. **Why:** A sweep that skipped something and did not say so is indistinguishable from one that had nothing to do. A reader of a report that dropped a section cannot tell a pass that ran and found nothing from one that never ran at all. **Pattern:** - A section with nothing to report says so on its own line: "No findings.", "Not run: <reason>.", "Nothing declared." Never drop the section. - Name the reason with the skip — which check, what was unavailable, what would have run. - Report what you did NOT change: deliberate omissions, items skipped by a fence, data loaded only in part. Anything left on disk or on the board is named. - A degradation is stated per affected item, in degraded words ("unverified", "captured — not yet uploaded"), never wrapped in the success wording.
