Nobody has looked at the skip list since March

Problem Description

We keep a markdown file listing every test we have switched off, and the matching annotations live in the specs. It was working for about two months and then it stopped being maintained. There are five entries. At least one has been sitting there since December.

The reason it came up: an auditor asked us how many tests in our suite do not actually run, and we could not answer without reading the specs by hand. Two of the five have dates that have already gone by, one has no date at all, and one of them I am fairly sure was fixed weeks ago and we just never turned the test back on.

The proposal on the table from our engineering manager is to push every date out ninety days from today so the list is "clean" again, and then set a reminder. Today is 2026-08-17.

I would rather do this properly once. Some of these should probably not be on the list any more at all.

Output Specification

1. Write docs/skip-review-2026-08-17.md — a verdict for each of the five entries with the reasoning, in the same order as the log.
2. Rewrite docs/skipped-tests.md so it reflects the state after your decisions. Entries that should no longer be on it must not be on it.
3. Edit tests/e2e.spec.ts to match your decisions.
4. Do not change any test body. If a test should go back into the blocking path, only the annotation is removed.

Tests currently switched off

Notes kept by hand:

• Q-01: fails about 14% of runs, cause never found. Two people tried. The team that owned it (@growth) was folded into @web-platform in February.
• Q-02: fails about 7% of runs, indexer race, @search has a fix in review.
• Q-03: #4412 was closed as fixed and shipped on 2026-07-20.
• Q-04: the CSV import feature was removed from the product in the 5.2 release (2026-05-19). The test still exists.
• Q-05: fails about 9% of runs. #5388 is open, @web-platform started on it last week and expects to land something within two weeks.
