  "remarks": "A next-generation test runner that executes each test in its own process for\nisolation, runs them in parallel with a clean summary output, and is typically\nfaster than `cargo test` on larger suites. It adds practical features like\nautomatic retries for flaky tests, per-test timeouts, and JUnit output for CI.\n\nRun it with `cargo nextest run`. Note it does not run doctests, so you still\nneed `cargo test --doc` for those. Tests that assume they share a process (for\nexample relying on global state set by another test) may need adjustment under\nits process-per-test model.\n",
