[Bug]: grep-invert fails to ignore tests with a tag when the test is part of a dependent project

[michaelchiche]

Version

v1.51.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone & install dependencies from this repo: https://github.com/michaelchiche/playwright-invert-grep-question
2. run pnpm exec playwright test -gv @skip

Expected behavior

When running the command, 3 tests are ran, the 2 from setup project and 1 from tests project.
Both tests are ran in setup project even though one of them has the @skip tag.

It works correctly when I remove the setup project dependency from the tests project.

Maybe it's the expected behavior, but if it is, I think it needs to be clarified somewhere in the documentation

Actual behavior

Only the tests without the @skip tag in both projects should be ran

Not sure if this related, but I have the same behaviour for tests from the same project when running --grep-invert alongside --changed-only

This is actually documented here: https://playwright.dev/docs/test-projects#test-filtering
