No EES for Spouse of EU citizen?

Asking after coming through the Barcelona airport a few days ago. My husband (American) was able to come through the “mixed passports” manned kiosk with me (Italian passport). We walked right by a line of hundreds non-EU citizens waiting. My concern now is that he was never registered for EES, which I assumed would happen at the manned EU both since I had done some research ahead of time. But all they did was scan his passport and then make a little confused “hmm” sound, poke around a bit on the screen, shrug, and then wave us through. So no EES reg. We fly out in two weeks and I’m concerned he’ll be flagged since his entry wasn’t recorded. Does anyone have an experience where the non-EU spouse wasn’t registered? Also, when we leave do we also go through special EU citizen gates? This is my first time traveling on my Italian passport, so I wasn’t sure. Thanks!
