usemodule() ignored the module's exit status and defined its class either way. It returns false now when the module ran and failed, and only fails as a function when the module could not be run or read at all. The distinction matters: a failed function call leaves the class undefined rather than false, so "not => usemodule(...)" would not have become true either. The test could not pass or fail whatever the code did. It looked for the modules one directory too high, its Pass guard asked for a class and its own negation, and the module it runs exits 1 on purpose which failed the whole test bundle. With those corrected it fails on the old code and passes on the new. Ticket: CFE-942 Changelog: Title Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

ExecModule() hands the exit status back to the caller now, so a module which ran and failed makes usemodule() false while one which could not be run at all is still a function failure.
