Summary

  • clarify that initial conftest.py discovery stops at --confcutdir
  • document the default cutoff when --confcutdir is not provided

Verification

  • python -m pytest testing/test_conftest.py -k confcutdir -q --basetemp .pytest-tmp
  • python -m sphinx -W --keep-going -b html doc/en doc/en/_build/html (hits one pre-existing unrelated warning: py._path.local.LocalPath reference target not found)

Closes #12857.
