It already meant to skip when no token was configured, and could not: the helper
exits 2 for any catalog it cannot complete, so `set -e` aborted at the capture
before the skip was reached. The contract failed with no output at all, which
reads as a crash rather than as a skip, and the branch written to prevent that
had never once run.
So the status is taken deliberately, and there are now two skips rather than
one. No token is not a defect in Panama. Neither is a bridge that does not
answer -- off the network, VPN down, the server asleep -- which is the same
reasoning the extras contract already uses for dnf and Flathub being
unreachable.
Only "unreachable" skips, which the helper raises exclusively for a timeout or a
socket error. A bridge that answers and refuses still fails: authentication
rejected, a bad response, a catalog of the wrong shape. Those are what this
contract is for, and all seven paths were exercised against a stubbed helper to
confirm which fail and which do not.
129 contracts pass, with none of them red for a reason nobody intends to fix --
which was the point. A suite expected to be red stops being read.
