@@ -50,5 +51,6 @@ This action does not define explicit outputs. Instead:
 - **Test Suite Inputs**: Must be valid JSON arrays.
   - `SourceCodeTestSuites` and `PSModuleTestSuites` require `OSName`.
   - `ModuleTestSuites` requires both `TestName` and `OSName`.
+- **BeforeAll module-local failures**: When `BeforeAllModuleLocalResult` is `failure`, the action exits immediately and reports the setup failure as the root cause.
 - **Artifact Names**: The action expects artifacts named `*-TestResults` containing Pester JSON reports.
 - **Failure Conditions**: The action fails if tests are unexecuted, explicitly failed, or if result files are missing.
