This release improves error handling by showing clean messages for unavailable fixtures and avoids unnecessary fixture initialization for fully skipped test suites.

The test harness no longer initializes fixtures for suites where all tests are statically skipped. Previously, fixtures were activated even when no tests would run, causing unnecessary startup overhead and potential errors.
