+# 23 February 2026
+
+## Attendees
+
+* Alex Vespa [@vespa7](https://github.com/vespa7)
+* Aviv Keller [@avivkeller](https://github.com/avivkeller)
+* Diogo de Souza [@sozua](https://github.com/sozua)
+* Jacob Smith [@JakobJingleheimer](https://github.com/JakobJingleheimer) (chair)
+* Jordan Harband [@ljharb](https://github.com/ljharb)
+* Pietro Marchini [@pmarchini](https://github.com/pmarchini)
+
+## Topics
+
+* test_runner: run afterEach for runtime t.skip() [nodejs/node#61525](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61525)
+* doc(proposal): un/break --test [nodejs/test-runner#13](https://github.com/nodejs/test-runner/pull/13)
+  * `--watch path` + `--test`
+    * `node main.js --test test.js` runs `main.js` and passes `--test test.js` as custom args (NOT a node arg). **test mode is not engaged.**
+
+## Outcomes
+
+* Discussion on `nodejs/node#61525` is resolved: This exists not uncommonly in the wild, and the concern has been withdrawn.
+* `nodejs/test-runner#13`: `--watch` is just a boolean when combined with `--test` (but in order to not encounter the caveated situation, `--test` must occur before `--watch` in the CLI arg list). Thus, if both are set in a config file (where there is no sequence), and `--watch`'s value is not boolean, that throws.
+
+## Todos
+
+* @JakobJingleheimer: Update previous meeting minutes to better state the `t.skip()` item raised. Once done, PR should be good to merge.
+* @JakobJingleheimer: Poke René about [nodejs/node#60751](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/60751) (it seems his concern has been addressed and PR needs re-review).
+* @JakobJingleheimer: Add caveat note to `nodejs/test-runner#13` about "passing" a value to `--watch` before triggering test mode.
+* @JakobJingleheimer: Create poll for finding a new meeting time.
+* Check `nodejs/node#61525` for outstanding concerns or unresolved discussions; if none, land the PR.
