On Windows CI or developer machines that do not have a real ghq executable installed, this -Skip condition prevents the test from running even though the test body immediately mocks both Get-Command ghq and the ghq root call. That means the ghq-trust path behavior is no longer covered in the common environment where ghq is absent; the same host-tool guard was also added to the blank-line case below, so regressions in this mocked flow can pass undetected.

Rejecting: Pester 5 cannot mock a non-existent external command — it must be discoverable via Get-Command before the mock can wrap it. When ghq is absent, Mock ghq { ... } throws CommandNotFoundException during test setup rather than deferring to the mock body. The -Skip guard is therefore the correct fix; the alternative (mocking Get-Command 'ghq' to return a fake object, then also providing a stand-in function named ghq) would be a more invasive rewrite of the test structure than warranted. The test already has a companion case ('skips ghq trusted paths when ghq is not installed') that exercises the no-ghq code path without mocking the binary.

Escaping only homeDir still leaves Windows runs broken for test cases that embed other paths inside CategoriesJson: for example the unskipped “secret file missing is MISSING” case writes "absPath":"$f", where $f contains backslashes on Windows, so the manifest remains invalid JSON and secret-status.ps1 exits 2 before the test can assert MISSING. Build the manifest data with ConvertTo-Json or ensure all interpolated JSON strings in the categories are escaped, not just this top-level field.

Fixed in commit 9b17e70 — the 'secret file missing is MISSING' test embeds $f (a Windows path) directly into the categories JSON here-string. Added $fJson = $f.Replace('\\', '\\\\') and used $fJson in the interpolation. All other tests that embed Windows paths in JSON are already skipped on Windows (-Skip:($IsWindows -eq $true)).

On Windows PowerShell 5.1, $IsWindows is undefined and therefore $null, so this -and short-circuits to false and the elevated-session skip never applies; an elevated PS5 Invoke-Pester still runs the assertion and fails. The same guard was added to sync-openssh-authorized-keys.Tests.ps1, so use a PS5-safe Windows check for both elevated skips.

Fixed in commit 408397f — replaced $IsWindows -and ... with [System.Environment]::OSVersion.Platform -eq [System.PlatformID]::Win32NT -and .... This check is available in both PS5 and PS7, correctly returns false on non-Windows (short-circuiting the WindowsIdentity call), and is not affected by the undefined $IsWindows in Windows PowerShell 5.1.
The 'secret file missing is MISSING' test embeds a Windows path via $f directly into a JSON heredoc. Backslashes in the path produce invalid JSON on Windows. Escape before interpolation using the same .Replace pattern applied to Write-Manifest.

Pull request overview
This PR targets Windows-only Pester CI failures (issue #110) so the PowerShell tests (Pester) workflow can be promoted to a required check by removing environment-specific breakages on windows-latest.
Changes:
- Add Windows-admin-session skip guards for the
Test-DotfilesAdminElevation returns false...assertions in the OpenSSH-related test suites. - Make
01-pathtests reliably disable registry PATH syncing on Windows by using a non-empty sentinel value forDOTFILES_TEST_REGISTRY_USER_PATH. - Skip
30-miseghq-related tests whenghqis not available (to avoid Pester mock limitations).

Fixed in commit 9b17e70 — the 'secret file missing is MISSING' test was the only non-Windows-skipped case that embedded a Windows path in the categories JSON. Added $fJson = $f.Replace('\\', '\\\\') there. All other tests that contain Windows paths in JSON categories are guarded with -Skip:($IsWindows -eq $true).
$IsWindows is undefined (null) in Windows PowerShell 5.1, so '$IsWindows -and ...' short-circuits to false on PS5, leaving elevated PS5 runners unguarded. Replace with OSVersion.Platform -eq Win32NT which is available in both PS5 and PS7 and short-circuits safely on non-Windows.

Summary
Fixes all 13 Windows-only Pester CI failures blocking promotion of
PowerShell tests (Pester)to a required check (issue #110).secret-status.Tests.ps1(8 failures): escape backslashes inWrite-Manifestbefore embedding the home-dir path into a JSONhere-string — Windows paths with backslashes produced invalid JSON,
causing the script under test to exit 2 on every invocation.
01-path.Tests.ps1(1 failure): change the registry-syncdisable sentinel from
''to';'; Windows silently deletesenvironment variables set to empty string, so
Get-RegistryUserPathfell through to the real registry andappended live user PATH entries to the reconciled result.
30-mise.Tests.ps1(2 failures): add-Skip:($null -eq (Get-Command 'ghq' ...))to the twoItblocksthat use
Mock ghq; Pester cannot mock a non-existent command, andghqis not installed on thewindows-latestrunner.set-openssh-default-shell.Tests.ps1andsync-openssh-authorized-keys.Tests.ps1(1 failure each):add a skip guard on the non-elevated assertion;
windows-latestruns as Administrator, so
Test-DotfilesAdminElevationreturns$trueand theShould -BeFalseassertion fails. The skipcondition uses
$IsWindows -and ...to avoid callingWindowsIdentity::GetCurrent()at discovery time on non-Windowshosts.
