To skip specific subtests within a file (rather than skipping the entire file), use skipTests with an array of exact test names:

{
  "something.scope.js": {
    "skipTests": [
      "exact test name to skip"
    ]
  }
}

When the status file is a CJS module, regular expressions can also be used:

module.exports = {
  'something.scope.js': {
    'skipTests': [
      'exact test name to skip',
      /regexp pattern to match/,
    ],
  },
};

Skipped subtests are reported as [SKIP] in the output, recorded as NOTRUN in the WPT report, and counted separately in the summary line.

This is useful for skipping a particular subtest that crashes the runner, which would otherwise prevent the rest of the file from being run. When using CJS status files, this also enables conditionally skipping slow or resource-heavy subtests in CI on specific architectures.
