| `test_feedback_loop_integration.py` | 4 | 372 | **Very specific** — Qdrant feedback loop detail |
| `test_colbert_card_retrieval.py` | 7 | 436 | **Config-dependent** — Requires ColBERT model loaded |

| `test_sheets_value_rendering.py` | 2 | 73 | **Narrow** — Value render option only (73 lines) |

## Impact Summary

- **Before**: 52 test files (50 `test_*.py` + 2 infra), 500+ tests, many failures from stale tests
- **After skip**: 26 active test files (25 `test_*.py` + `test_helpers.py` infra)
- **Skipped**: 26 test files with `pytest.skip(reason=..., allow_module_level=True)`
- **Coverage preserved**: All Google Workspace services, core middleware, resource system, Qdrant
- **Eliminated**: Duplicate auth pattern tests, one-time regression tests, phase-specific tests, demo files, narrow edge cases
