Subject: [PATCH] fix(test): retag verisim_data tests honestly

Fixes for issue #692:

The comment in test/test_helper.exs falsely claimed that verisim_data tests
'pass in CI (where verisim-data is available) but are excluded from local
development runs'.

Reality: The tests never run in CI (no --include verisim_data anywhere in CI),
and they fail 129/242 when run locally.

Updated comment to honestly state: tests are currently unrunnable in CI
(verisim-data not provisioned) and fail when run locally. Excluded from
all runs until verisim-data can be provisioned in CI.

Added reference to issue #692.
